Why it matters

A job a vehicle cannot do wastes everybody’s day.

Drivers accept work that turns out not to fit: the pallet is longer than the load space, the weight is over payload, the delivery point sits inside a clean air zone the vehicle cannot enter without a charge. Filtering earlier means fewer failed collections, fewer re-allocations and fewer disputes.

What it checks

• Payload

  Job weight against the vehicle's legal payload capacity, with the headroom shown.

• Dimensions

  Length, width, height and volume of the load against the load space.

• Equipment

  Tail lift, refrigeration and similar requirements against what the vehicle carries.

• Zone compliance

  ULEZ and UK clean air zones, from fuel type, gross weight and Euro standard.

• Working day

  Distance and duration against an eleven-hour working day.

• Range · electric only

  For an electric vehicle, whether the job fits inside working range — one factor among several, not the whole answer.

Fuel-agnostic by design. Diesel, petrol, hybrid and electric vehicles are all judged on the same universal fit; electric adds range and charging as further factors on top.

How it relates to the rest of One Fleet

It is the same engine and the same question — can this vehicle do the job? The Mission API answers it in depth for a full working mission, including energy, charging and observed outcomes. The Job Suitability API answers the fast, universal part of it at marketplace scale, for one job and one vehicle.
