These updates will impact both toll as well as emission calculations. This article is specific to explain changes to action in order to receive Danish toll costs from PTV.
At the ‘vehicle parameters’ section, the relevant topics are shown at each parameter.
PTV developer support built-in, which will replace the PTV xServer in the future.

PTV developer has updated algorithms, be aware that this will impact route calculation. Compared to the PTV xServer difference in routes and kilometers can be applicable.
Updates to emission are only relevant if the Emission Module has been purchased and implemented.
This new PTV Developer integration brings a number of changes.
First there are 3 main settings to switch from xServer to PTV developer.
For both geocoding (locating coordinates for addresses) as maps this can be found in the System parameters screen fields Geocoding provider & Map provider
And for routing (getting distances, traveling times, toll and so on) this can be found in the Company screen on the first tabsheet General field Routing provider.
Also do validate in the Company screen, at the tabsheet Transport and sub tabsheet Transport parameters if the setting is enabled for: Store shipment country distances at the section Route calculation:
In order to make a correct calculation for CO2 emissions and toll prices there are several new fields added on vehicle level and on vehicle profile.
Also some already existing fields have new options available.
The vehicle profile roughly contains the same fields as on vehicle level.
One of the most important changes are the predefined PTV profiles which are completely changed in comparison with xServer.
For more information about these profiles please see:
https://developer.myptv.com/en/documentation/data-api/concepts/profiles
Transpas uses "EUR_TRAILER_TRUCK" as default at the vehicle profile when nothing is specified.
Vehicle parameters Vehicle profile parameters
Enum: "COMBUSTION" "ELECTRIC" "HYBRID"
The engine type of the vehicle. When changing the engine type further parameters must be specified to define a valid vehicle and to obtain proper results. For a hybrid or an electric vehicle electricityType and averageElectricityConsumption must be specified, for a hybrid vehicle additionally the hybridRatio.
This and all dependent parameters cannot be used with a model of an electric vehicle, because all applicable parameters are automatically provided by the model. Please refer to the concept to see specifically which parameters are not compatible and automatically set from the vehicle model.
Relevant for toll, emissions.
Enum: "NONE" "EURO_0" "EURO_1" "EURO_2" "EURO_3" "EURO_4" "EURO_5" "EURO_EEV" "EURO_6" "EURO_6C" "EURO_6D_TEMP" "EURO_6D" "EURO_6E" "EURO_7"
The emission standard of the vehicle valid in the European Union. This parameter is not only important for proper toll and emission calculation, there are also low-emission zones which can be entered only if the vehicle has a proper emission standard. In contrast to explicit approvals like environmental badges or vehicle registrations the emission standard is automatically considered when entering such low-emission zones.
Values different from NONE are supported for engineType COMBUSTION and HYBRID. Relevant for routing, toll, emissions.
The CO2 emission class valid in the European Union. See also the Directive 1999/62/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on the charging of heavy goods vehicles for the use of certain infrastructures, Article 7ga.
Must be 1 for combustion and hybrid vehicles with any emissionStandard, 2-4 for combustion and hybrid vehicles with emissionStandard of at least EURO_6, and 5 for electric vehicles.
Relevant for toll.
Refers to the total permitted weight of the vehicle and its load [kg]. This is the weight the vehicle is usually registered with. In EU vehicle registration registered as F.3. If this value is not specified but Vehicle technical max. weight is specified, then that value is used for both.
Relevant for routing, toll, emissions.
The total technically permitted weight of the vehicle, in EU vehicle registration registered as F.1. If this value is not specified but Vehicle max. weight is specified then that value is used for both.
Relevant for toll.
When the fields above are not specified the values are taken from the vehicle profile which is assigned to the vehicle / plangroup / company.
