In New Zealand, drivers of heavy vehicles require specific licenses, termed as classes. A Class 1 license (''car license'') will allow the driving of any vehicle with Gross Laden Weight (GLW) or Gross Combination Weight (GCW) of {{convert|6000|kg|lb|abbr=on}} or less. For other types of vehicles the classes are separately licensed as follows:

* Class 2 – Medium Rigid Vehicle: Any rigid vehicle with GLW {{convert|18001|kg|lb|abbr=on}} or less with light trailer of {{convert|3500|kg|lb|abbr=on}} or less, any combination vehicle with GCW {{convert|12001|kg|lb|abbr=on}} or less, any rigid vehicle of any weight with no more than two axles, or any Class 1 vehicle.
* Class 3 – Medium Combination Vehicle: Any combination vehicle of GCW {{convert|25001|kg|lb|abbr=on}} or less, or any Class 2 vehicle.
* Class 4 – Heavy Rigid Vehicle: Any rigid vehicle of any weight, any combination vehicle which consists of a heavy vehicle and a light trailer, or any vehicle of Class 1 or 2 (but not 3).
* Class 5 – Heavy Combination Vehicle: Any combination vehicle of any weight, and any vehicle covered by previous classes.
* Class 6 – Motorcycle.
