Profiles and Countries

The properties of a vehicle are stored in a profile. The vehicle properties, such as height and weight, are considered when the best way between two stops is calculated. In the Route Optimisation service, only the defined reference profiles are supported. Not all profiles are available in all countries.

Note: If no reference profile has been selected, and if the majority of locations are in the Americas, USA_8_SEMITRAILER_5AXLE is used as the default. Otherwise, EUR_TRAILER_TRUCK is used as the default. In difference to the Routing service, the values of the attributes of the individual reference profiles cannot be changed.
