Manage Fleet

Click on the Fleet icon (1) on the menu bar to the left to proceed to the Fleet page. Here you can view your Vehicles and Vehicle Profiles (2), add (3), edit (4) or remove Vehicle Profiles and Vehicles.

The HERE Last Mile fleet is comprised of vehicle profiles and vehicles. Vehicle profiles are templates for the same type of vehicle. Using a profile saves time when you have many vehicles of the same type.

For route optimization, vehicle profile details are used to find the best group of pickups and deliveries for a vehicle and also provide a valid route, for example avoiding a low tunnel if the vehicle profile for a truck is too high.

Create one or more vehicle profiles first and then add specific vehicles.

For example, you may have four Mercedes Sprinter vans in the fleet. Each has the same operational cost and capacity. You would add one vehicle profile (type car) for the Mercedes Sprinter, and afterwards, add each of the four individual (with own numberplate) vans as a vehicle attached to the Mercedes Sprinter vehicle profile.

Add a vehicle profile

To add a new vehicle profile, on the Vehicle profiles tab, click Add vehicle profile (3) to the upper right and enter all the relevant details in the form, including:

• Name – the unique profile name that will be used in the profiles list.
• Profile type – choose car or truck.
• Cost per KM – your operational cost for this type of vehicle per kilometer, for example, 2 or 2.50 in your respective currency.
• Cost per min – your operational cost for this type of vehicle per minute, for example, 2 or 2.50.
• Fixed cost (optional) – your operational fixed cost for this type of vehicle, for example, 67 or 67.50.
• Capacity – the maximum volume for this type of vehicle, for example, 80. During route planning, this capacity is filled with orders, based on their demand.

Example: If there are 10 orders of demand, 8 each, these would fit into a vehicle whose type has a capacity of 80.

• Max range (Km) (optional) – the maximum distance this type of vehicle can travel in one route.
• Shift time (Hours) (optional) – the maximum number of hours this type of vehicle can be used in one route (only whole numbers are allowed).
• Truck routing limits - Providing this information ensures trucks avoid exceeding clearance and weight limitations on their route. The following are all optional.
  • Gross weight – the overall weight of the truck in kilograms, for example 7000
  • Weight per axle – weight of each axle on the truck in kilograms, for example 3500
  • Length – length of the truck in centimeters, for example 1380
  • Height – height of the truck in centimeters, for example 260
  • Width – the width of the truck in centimeters, for example 245

When done, click Add to save the vehicle profile and see it in the list.
