Vehicle Specifications

Vehicle specifications are used in route calculation for trucks and commercial vehicles. Plan accurate routes using vehicle dimensions, weight, and hazardous material information.

What are Vehicle Specifications?

Vehicle Specifications customizes route calculation based on vehicle dimensions, weight, and properties. Bridge height restrictions, weight limits, and hazardous material prohibitions are taken into account.
