Voice_VanSpecs

The Van Specs handler gives you instant access to your vehicle’s technical data while driving, parking, or doing maintenance — all without stopping to look anything up.


  • “What’s my van height?”
  • “How tall is the van?”
  • “What height is the van?”

Returns the height in metres from your Van profile.

  • “How wide is the van?”
  • “What’s the width?”
  • “Van width”
  • “How long is the van?”
  • “What’s the van length?”
  • “Length of the van?”

The most safety-critical voice command. If you’re approaching a low bridge, ask before committing:

  • “Will I fit under a 3.2 metre bridge?”
  • “Can I fit under 10 feet?”
  • “Is there clearance at 3.5 metres?”

The handler extracts the clearance value from your question, compares it to your van’s recorded height, and gives a clear yes/no with the actual van height:

“Yes, you should fit. The clearance is 3.2m and the van is 2.85m.”

or:

“No! It’s too tight. The van is 3.1m.”

If a clearance number isn’t in your question, it returns the van height directly: “The van height is 2.85 metres.”


  • “How heavy is the van?”
  • “What’s my payload capacity?”
  • “What’s the gross weight?”

Returns the gross vehicle weight and estimated payload capacity (gross minus recorded curb weight) from your Van profile.


  • “What tyre pressure should I use?”
  • “What PSI should my tyres be?”
  • “Front tyre pressure” / “Rear tyre pressure”

Returns front and rear pressures as set in your Van profile.


  • “What oil does my van take?”
  • “What type of oil?”

Returns the oil specification from your Van profile.

  • “What coolant does it use?”
  • “Coolant type”

  • “When is my MOT due?”
  • “MOT expiry”
  • “When does the MOT expire?”

Returns the MOT due date from your Van profile, formatted as a full date.


After the first van specs question in a session, the handler remembers the subject. You can follow up with a shorter phrase without repeating the full question:

  1. “What’s my van height?” → handler remembers context: dimensions
  2. “And the width?” → understood as another dimensions query

This works for follow-up questions about dimensions, weight, tyres, fluids, compliance, and economy.


Data must be set up first: All of these answers come from your Van profile (Van section → Van Profile and Setup). If a value isn’t saved there, the assistant will say “I don’t have that saved” rather than guessing.

MOT and tax clarification: If you ask about MOT or insurance without any expiry language, the query may go to the Finance handler (if it looks like a cost question) or the Document handler (if it looks like a document lookup). Add “due”, “expiry”, or “expires” to ensure it’s routed here.

Multiple vans: The handler uses the first van found in your profile data. If you manage a fleet, voice queries go to the first vehicle. Use the Van section on screen to switch between vehicles for more precise queries.
