Price vehicle types (window)
Economy > Price lists > Price vehicle types
In this window, you make settings for the vehicle types that are price-sensitive. The price vehicle types are linked to services. The service on the order determines which price vehicle type can be selected on the order.
The price vehicle types can, but do not have to, match the vehicle types in the register Vehicle types.
Difference between vehicle type and price vehicle type
The price vehicle type is the price basis. It is applied to the order and can be selected by the customer in the customer portal, for example. The type of vehicle is used in traffic management and affects how the transport is carried out. It's basically the same, but there is a register for each, so you can make different settings depending on how you want to handle price-based and planning-based vehicle types.
Function | Explanation |
---|---|
Name |
Used for identification. The name is shown in the list on the left when a new configuration is saved. |
Description |
Free text field for internal notes. The description is not displayed anywhere else but here. |
Code | Used for identification in traffic management. |
Service list | The service list to which the prize vehicle type is linked. This is now of no practical importance as you can freely choose the services for which the price vehicle type can be selected on the tab Service types. |
Available for Internet order | The type of prize vehicle can be selected on orders placed on the web portals. |
Text color | Missions with this fare vehicle type are displayed with this text colour in the traffic management. |
Background | Missions with this fare vehicle type are displayed with this background colour in the traffic management. |
If an order has a service listed in Excluded, the price vehicle type cannot be selected on that order. If an order has a service listed in the Included list, you can select the price vehicle type on that order. You can move services between the lists by dragging and dropping them or double-clicking on them.
In the text field at the top of each list, you can search by the name of the service.
You can rearrange the services by dragging and dropping them up and down the list.
If you create a new service, it will be added to Included.
Dimensions for PTV
These values are used for the distance calculation on the order, which is the basis for the price.
-
If you do not select a vehicle profile and do not fill in any fields, use "truck-40t" from PTV.
-
If you select a vehicle profile and manually enter a value in any of the fields, that value applies instead of the default value from the PTV.
-
If you leave the fields blank, the PTV default values are used.
Executing the order with a larger or heavier vehicle than the profile selected may result in the vehicle having to take detours that make the distance longer than that calculated on the order, for example if there are weight restrictions on the roads or viaducts that the vehicle cannot go under. Always check the PTV values for the vehicle profile in the corresponding XML file at https://xserver2-dashboard.cloud.ptvgroup.com/dashboard/Default.htm#Administration/FileViewer.htm.
Even if you want to use the default profile "truck-40t", it may be a good idea to select it in the drop-down list, otherwise it will be unclear which vehicle profile applies.
Function | Description |
---|---|
Vehicle profile |
Ready-made profiles from PTV with standard values for the dimensions. If you do not select a profile, "truck-40t" is used. The specifications of the PTV vehicle profiles can be found in the PTV xServer Help. If you want to create your very own vehicle profile, you can enter a name and fill in your own values for the dimensions. However, the profile cannot be reused on other vehicle types. You can also leave the field blank and just fill in the values. |
Toll subscriptions | Enter the tariff subscriptions you have for the price vehicle type. Tariff subscriptions affect the price of the toll items on the order. The subscriptions in the list start with the country code of the country where the subscription applies. Enter multiple subscriptions by typing them exactly as they appear in the list separated by commas, for example "AT_GOBOX, NO_AUTOPASS". |
Emission class |
The emission class is not taken from the PTV vehicle profile. You must actively select an emission class here if you want to change the default setting. [Default] = Euro 0. |
Total weight (kg) |
truck-40t (standard): 40 000 |
Axle weight (kg) |
truck-40t (standard): 10 000 |
Number of axles |
truck-40t (standard): 5 |
Height (cm) |
truck-40t (standard): - |
Length (cm) |
truck-40t (standard): 1 875 |
Width (cm) | truck-40t (standard): - |
Cylinder volume (ccm) |
truck-40t (standard): - |
Height above front axle (cm) |
truck-40t (standard): - |
Particle filter installed | truck-40t (standard): - |
Route optimization settings
These settings can be used if you use automatic service time in route optimisation (see ( Route optimization settings (window)). For more information on service hours, see Service time.
Function | Description |
---|---|
Service time per stop (s) |
Indicate how many seconds each stop on the route is expected to take when using this type of fare vehicle. |
Time per additional shipment (s) |
State how much extra time a delivery to the same address is expected to take in addition to the service time, for example if there is a delivery to floor 3 and a delivery to floor 5 in the same building. |
The table is for internal use by Opter only and should not be used. Even if you add a row and enter a value in the table, for example "Service time per stop 180 seconds", it is not used in the route optimisation.
CO2 emissions
On the Emissions tab, you make CO2 emission settings such as the price vehicle type's CO2 emissions in grams per kilometre.
For more information, see Climate impact of CO2 emissions in grams, pricing weight, Climate impact of CO2 emissions in grams and Climate impact of CO2 emissions in tonnes.
Function | Description |
---|---|
CO2 emissions (g/km) |
Price vehicle type CO2 emissions in grams per km. Can be overridden on individual vehicles in the vehicle register. To calculate the CO2 emissions, simply set the CO2 emissions per km or fuel and consumption below. If both the CO2 emissions/km and consumption/km are specified, the CO2 emissions/km are used to calculate the climate impact. |
Fuel |
Fuel of the price vehicle type. Can be overridden on individual vehicles in the vehicle register. |
Fuel consumption (per 100 km) |
Average fuel consumption of the price vehicle type. Can be overridden on individual vehicles in the vehicle register. Example: 8 litres/100 km = 0.8 litres per mile. |
Capacity converted into pricing weight (kg) | This field is used if you want to take into account the pricing weight of the order compared to the capacity of the vehicle. For more information, see Climate impact of CO2 emissions in grams, pricing weight. |
