Vehicle group | It is a classification within a platform that allows users to conveniently manage and access data from multiple vehicles (or units) simultaneously. Instead of selecting individual vehicles one by one, users can choose a vehicle group to efficiently retrieve and analyze data from all the vehicles included in that group. |
Depot | It is a management entity used to group vehicles and drivers, typically for organizational purposes such as dividing vehicles into sub-companies. It is particularly useful for tasks like downloading digital tachograph files, which are linked to separate digital tachograph company cards. Beyond this, a depot can also serve as a flexible grouping mechanism for vehicles, offering an alternative to the sub-company division. |
Considering information in the table, differences between these two are:
Vehicles/units can only belong to ONE depot, but they can belong to multiple Vehicle groups.
Depots can have an object assigned to them, so they are also used to mark a territory on the map where vehicles should be.
Vehicle groups cannot have an object assigned to them, the use of vehicle groups is mostly to select multiple vehicles at once, in multiple of our solutions and features.
