Vehicle Profile

There only seem to be two options of vehicle profile CAR and HGV.
Is there a way to create a profile for a Transit Van speed limit profile ?
IE - 30mph in built-up areas, 50mph on single carriageways, 60mph on dual carriageways, and 70mph on motorways.
if I use the HGV profile which may be the same speed limit profile as a Transit Van but I suspect there are also changes the route due the the size of the HGV.
100mile route takes 1 hour longer using HGV profile than the CAR profile so cant just be speed adjustments.

Hey,

regarding vehicle profiles, that is true - but hasn’t been an issue so far.

Regarding speed, have a look at the explanation of travel time calculations in the backend documentation:

To me, it seems like it very well can be - depending on how the osm data is tagged, you could easily have a huge difference, e.g. when a maxspeed is set for car but primary is tagged.

Best regards
