Customers will benefit from: ■ New UX & UI, great user experience through brand new UI and seamless myPTV platform integration. ■ Electric vehicle (EV) route simulation that enables benchmarking against other vehicle types. ■ Improved toll cost prediction based on up-to-date information that factors in all emission classes, including EV, LNG, CNG, and hybrid vehicles. ■ Better planning for environmental regulations with electronic toll collection (ETC) systems and European emissions stickers that can be assigned per vehicle to comply with regional low emission zone (LEZ) regulations. This helps design more cost-effective routes and flexible routes. ■ High-performance routing, with improvements to standard static and custom dynamic routing, providing faster calculation times and more accurate results, even for complex and long-distance routes. ■ World map coverage that can be used to plan and optimise routes anywhere on the globe. ■ Enhanced planning that factors in seasonal and regional traffic patterns and anticipates future traffic incidents, enabling proactive route adjustments. ■ Supported decision making through full route comparisons that consider cost, distance, time, emissions and regional regulations. ■ Standardised measures in mileage to simplify expense reporting and in emissions reporting (according to the latest ISO, GLEC and HBEFA standards) to ensure compliance.
