Add and edit a vehicle
Last updated: August 16, 2026
A vehicle record holds what Nash needs to plan and dispatch work: the vehicle's identity, its dimensions, the drivers who use it, and the routing constraints that keep it from being over-loaded. This article covers adding a vehicle and editing an existing one. For the list itself, see manage vehicles.
Note
Fleet and the Vehicles page are gated. Availability varies by organization — if you don't see it, reach out to Nash. For scoped users Vehicles is read-only, so adding and editing are not available.
Add a vehicle
From Fleet ▸ Vehicles, select + Vehicle. A drawer titled Add New Vehicle opens. Fill in the fields (below), then select Add to save. Editing an existing vehicle opens the same drawer, titled Edit Vehicle, with a Save button instead. Select Close to leave without saving.
The drawer has two tabs: Vehicle Info and Drivers.
Vehicle Info tab
Vehicle Info is where you enter the vehicle's details. It's organized into three collapsible sections.
Vehicle Info
| Field | Notes |
|---|---|
| Name | Required. How the vehicle appears throughout Nash. |
| Type | The vehicle type (Car, Van, Truck, and so on). |
| Brand | Optional. |
| Model | Optional. |
| Year | Optional. Must be 4 digits. |
| License Plate | Required. |
| External ID | Optional. Your own identifier for the vehicle. |
| Color | Optional. |
Vehicle Dimensions
The vehicle's size and cargo capacity:
| Field | Notes |
|---|---|
| Weight | The vehicle's weight. |
| Height, Length, Width | The cargo box dimensions. |
| Axle Count | Optional. |
| Trailer Count | Optional. |
The units shown on Weight, Height, Length, and Width (for example lb or kg, in or cm) follow your dimension and weight preferences — the label updates to match, and the value you type is interpreted in that unit. (The unit on Max Distance below follows your distance preference.)
Vehicle & Route Constraints
These limits tell Nash's routing how hard it can work the vehicle. They matter when Nash builds and optimizes routes for your fleet — see optimize orders.
| Field | What it does |
|---|---|
| Max Stops | The most stops the vehicle can make in a single trip. |
| Max Distance | The farthest the vehicle can travel in a single trip. |
| Max Duration (hours) | The longest the vehicle can be on the road in a single trip, including breaks. |
| Speed Factor (0.5 - 1.5) | Adjusts the vehicle's speed calculation. Below 1.0 is slower, above 1.0 is faster. |
Drivers tab
The Drivers tab lists the drivers linked to this vehicle. Select Add Drivers to link one or more, and remove a driver from the list to unlink it. Linking a driver here associates the two records; it does not put the driver on a live delivery or route. To manage drivers themselves, see manage your drivers; to place a driver on active work, see manually assign a delivery and edit a route.
Enable or disable a vehicle
When you edit an existing vehicle, the drawer header shows an Active / Inactive switch. Toggle it to enable or disable the vehicle. A vehicle's status also appears in the Status column on the list.
View a vehicle's location
If Nash has a recent location for the vehicle, an editing drawer shows a View Location button in its header. Select it to open the Last Known Location dialog, which shows the vehicle's last reported position on a map along with when it was last updated. If there's no location on file, the dialog reads "No location data available."
