Price vehicle types (window)
Economy > Price lists > Price vehicle types
In this window, settings are made for the vehicle types that form the basis for the pricing. 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 Vehicle types registry.
The difference between vehicle type and price vehicle type
The price vehicle type forms the price basis. It is applied to the order and can be selected by the customer in the customer portal, for example. The vehicle type is used in dispatch and affects how the transport is carried out. It is basically the same, but there is a registry for each of them, so it is possible to make different settings depending on how you want to handle vehicle types that form the basis for prices and planning..

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 dispatch. |
Service list | The service list to which the price vehicle type is linked. This is now of no practical importance as it is possible to freely choose the services for which it should be possible to select the price vehicle type on the Service types tab. |
Available for Internet order | The price vehicle type can be selected on orders placed via the web portals. |
Text color | Shipments with this price vehicle type are displayed with this text colour in dispatch. |
Background | Shipments with this price vehicle type are displayed with this background colour in dispatch. |

If an order has a service that is listed in Excluded, the price vehicle type cannot be selected on that order. If an order has a service that is in the Included list, the price vehicle type can be selected on that order. It is possible to 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, it is possible to search for the name of the service.
The services can be reordered by dragging and dropping them upwards and downwards in the list.
If a new service is created, it is added to Included.

Dimensions for PTV
These values are used for distance calculation on the order, which forms the basis for the price.
-
If you do not select a vehicle profile and do not fill in any fields, "truck-40t" from PTV is used.
-
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 PTV.
-
If the fields are left blank, PTV’s default values are used instead.
Carrying out an order with a larger or heavier vehicle than in the profile that has been selected may result in the vehicle having to take detours which result in the distance being longer than that calculated on the order if, for example, there are weight restrictions on the roads or viaducts that the vehicle cannot pass 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 default values for the dimensions. If a profile is not selected, "truck-40t" is used. The specifications of the PTV vehicle profiles are available in the PTV xServer help. To create a customised vehicle profile, enter a name and fill in values for the dimensions. However, the profile cannot be reused on other vehicle types. The field can also be left blank and just the values filled in. |
Agreement for road tolls |
State the agreements you have for the price vehicle type. Agreements affect the price of the road toll price items on the order. The agreements in the list start with the country code of the country in which the agreement applies. Enter multiple agreements by typing them exactly as they appear in the comma-separated list, for example "AT_GOBOX, NO_AUTOPASS". For more information, see Entering toll subscriptions on vehicles. |
Emission class, Euro |
The emission class is not taken from the PTV vehicle profile. An emission class must be selected actively here if you want to change the default setting. [Default] = Euro 5. If you enter both Emission class, Euro and Emission class EU (drop-down list below), the following EU Directives apply: If you enter Euro 6, Euro 7 or Euro EEV, you have to enter Emission class EU 2, 3 or 4. |
Emission class EU |
The CO2 emission class is an EU requirement. The emission class is not taken from the PTV vehicle profile. An emission class must be selected actively here if you want to change the default setting. [Default] = 1. For example, the Danish distance-based and CO2-differentiated road tolls (introduced on 1 January 2025) use, among other things, this CO2 emission classification for calculating the road toll that is charged. More information about the CO2 emission classes is available at https://vejafgifter.dk/en/. For information on road tolls, see Managing road tolls. If the price vehicle type is electric, check that the Fuel consumption (per 100 km) field on the Emissions tab contains updated information and that the fuel consumption is stated in "kWh/100 km". The unit for the fuel is set in the fuel registry, in the Unit field. Enter 'kWh'. If you enter both Emission class EU and Emission class, Euro (drop-down list above), the following EU Directives apply: If you enter Emission class EU 2, 3 or 4, you have to enter Emission class, Euro, Euro 6, Euro 7 or Euro EEV. |

Route optimization settings
These settings can be used if automatic service time is used in the route optimisation (see Route optimization settings (window)). For more information on service hours, see Service time.
Function | Description |
---|---|
Service time per stop (s) |
Specify how many seconds each stop on the route is expected to take when this price vehicle type is used. |
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. |
It is only for internal Opter use, and should not be used. Even if a row is added and a value is entered in the table, such as "Service time per stop 180 seconds", it is not used in the route optimisation.

CO2 emissions
On the Emissions tab, CO2 emission settings such as the CO2 emissions of the price vehicle type in grams per kilometre can be made.
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) |
CO2 emissions of the price vehicle type in grams per km. Can be overridden for individual vehicles in the vehicle registry. To calculate the CO2 emissions, simply set the CO2 emissions per km or fuel and consumption below. If both CO2 emissions in g/km and consumption/km are stated, CO2 emissions in g/km are used to calculate the climate impact. |
Fuel |
Price vehicle type’s fuel. Can be overridden for individual vehicles in the vehicle registry. |
Fuel consumption (per 100 km) |
Average fuel consumption of the price vehicle type. Can be overridden for individual vehicles in the vehicle registry. Example: 8 litres/100 km = 0.8 litres per 10 km (Swedish mile). |
Capacity converted into pricing weight (kg) | The field is used if the pricing weight of the order compared to the capacity of the vehicle is to be taken into account. For more information, see Climate impact of CO2 emissions in grams, pricing weight. |
