Depot & The Hall¶
Managing fleet capacity efficiently is key to scaling logistics operations in VoltFracht. Your home depot governs active vehicle deployment, while The Hall serves as long-term storage for inactive trucks.
1. Depot Capacity & Level Scaling¶
Your depot dictates the maximum number of active e-trucks that can be simultaneously assigned to freight runs.
Company Leveling & Slot Upgrades¶
- Slot Scaling: Every additional depot slot unlocked increases your max active fleet size.
- Level Progression: Company levels scale directly with depot expansions (for example, purchasing a 2nd depot slot raises your company to Level 2).
- Capital Investments: Higher depot slots require progressive cash (€) or Coin investments.
Economic Fair-Play Rules¶
To maintain competitive leaderboard integrity:
- No Currency Conversion: In-game Coins cannot be converted into virtual Euro cash balance. Implemented 30 September 2026 to prevent ranking exploitation.
- Depot Upgrade Cap: Depot capacity upgrades via Coins are capped at Level 8. Depot slots from Level 9 onwards must be funded exclusively through earned freight revenue (€).
For complete economic and anti-cheat policies, see Economy & Fair-Play Guidelines.
| Depot Slot / Level | Slot Role & Fleet Limit | Primary Function |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | 1 Active Truck | Starter operations with 7.5t e-truck |
| Levels 2–5 | 2–5 Active Trucks | Regional expansion & 18t/26t class additions |
| Levels 6–10 | 6–12 Active Trucks | Enterprise fleet dispatching & 44t heavy haul |
2. The Hall¶
The Hall is a dedicated vehicle storage facility that operates alongside active depot slots.
Purpose of Vehicle Storage¶
- Slot Liberation: Storing an e-truck in The Hall immediately frees up an active depot slot for new vehicle purchases without forcing a sale.
- Value & Mileage Preservation: Stored trucks are completely paused, preserving their mileage, battery condition, and resale valuation.
- Collector Preservation: Provides safe storage for rare or event-exclusive models (such as the Spectre 7.5 t 2026, Spectre 18 t 2026 or Early Bird 7S).
3. Storage Rules & Workflow¶
Managing vehicles between active depot slots and The Hall follows simple rules:
- Status Requirement: A truck must be idle in a depot and not currently en route or carrying active cargo to be moved to The Hall.
- Re-activation: To transfer a truck back from The Hall into service, at least one active depot slot must be vacant.
- Marketplace Trading: Vehicles stored in The Hall can also be listed directly on the Used Truck Marketplace if account requirements are met.
