Vehicle Mounted Computer

TERVEX vehicle mounted computers are built for fleets and mobile machinery that need reliable computing on the move. Combining wide-voltage power input, ignition-aware start-up and shutdown, IP65-rated protection against dust, water and road vibration, sunlight-readable displays and vehicle-grade connectivity such as CAN, RS232, RS485, Ethernet and AHD camera inputs, our in-vehicle computing portfolio supports fleet management, transportation and logistics, field service, utilities, construction and industrial vehicle operations. Whether you need a 10.1-inch Windows vehicle terminal for enterprise software, an Android or Linux platform with optional RTK precision positioning, or an 8-inch tablet with a dedicated vehicle docking station, TERVEX provides vehicle mounted computers designed to keep vehicles, drivers and dispatch teams connected.

—— Why Choose us

Why Choose TERVEX Vehicle Mounted Computers

Wide-voltage, vehicle-grade power

6-36V and 9-36V inputs with optional 20-80V modules, wired through a circular power connector for car charger, DC supply or loose-cable installation, with ACC ignition control for automatic start-up and delayed shutdown.

Battery-free or docked operation

Run the terminal without an internal battery to avoid heat build-up in the cab, or use a tablet-and-dock solution with pogo-pin charging so drivers can hand devices over between shifts.

Vehicle-grade durability

IP65 dust and water protection, MIL-STD-810H, ISO 7637-2 and ISO 16750 certification and 1.22m drop resistance cover vibration, shock, temperature cycling and vehicle electrical transients.

Vehicle networks and camera integration

CAN with J1939 support, RS232, RS485, digital I/O, Ethernet and AHD camera inputs up to 720P x4 bring telematics, sensors and reversing or cargo-camera feeds into a single terminal.

Precision positioning and connectivity

GPS, BeiDou, Galileo, GLONASS and QZSS with an optional RTK module, plus 4G LTE, dual-band Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth and optional digital radio modules for dispatch and telematics.

Secure mounting & OEM/ODM customization

VESA and RAM mounting or a dedicated vehicle dock, with private labeling, branding, connector layout and interface configuration matched to your fleet or vehicle platform.

Frequently Asked Questions

A vehicle mounted computer is a rugged terminal permanently installed in a truck, van, forklift or other mobile machine to give the driver or operator computing, navigation and data capture while working. It typically combines a wide-voltage power input with ignition control, a vibration and temperature-resistant housing, a sunlight-readable touchscreen, vehicle network interfaces such as CAN or RS232, and either an Android, Windows or Linux operating system.

A tablet with a mount is a portable device that is periodically fixed to a bracket, while a vehicle mounted computer is designed for permanent, powered installation. Vehicle terminals accept wide DC input directly from the vehicle electrical system, start and stop with the ignition, tolerate electrical transients and vibration, and expose fixed industrial connectors for CAN, RS232, RS485, Ethernet and cameras. A docked tablet solution such as the V82T with VH82 sits between the two, offering portable use plus a vehicle docking station with pogo-pin charging.

Vehicle electrical systems are not stable: nominal 12V or 24V lines can surge or drop during cranking and load switching. TERVEX vehicle computers accept 6-36V or 9-36V input, with optional 20-80V modules for heavy vehicles and electric platforms, so the terminal keeps running without an external converter. ACC ignition control lets the device power up with the vehicle and shut down safely after a configurable delay.

Yes. Battery-free operation is available and often preferred in vehicles, because it avoids heat build-up and battery ageing in a hot cab and removes the need for battery servicing. Where short ride-through or portable use is required, models can be configured with a small internal battery, or as a tablet plus vehicle dock combination with pogo-pin charging.

Vehicle mounted computers are widely used in transportation and fleet operations, warehouse and logistics with forklift and yard vehicles, manufacturing internal logistics, oil, gas and utilities, construction and agriculture machinery, public safety fleets, and delivery or field merchandising vehicles. They are chosen wherever data must be captured or displayed in the vehicle rather than back at a desk.

TERVEX vehicle computers expose fixed industrial connectors for the systems already installed in the vehicle: CAN with J1939 support for engine, body and telematics data, RS232 and RS485 for instruments and controllers, digital I/O and GPIO for switches and sensors, Ethernet for on-board networks, and AHD camera inputs for reversing, cargo or cab monitoring. Connector layout and expansion cables are specified per project to match the vehicle harness.

It depends on your software. Windows is usually selected when existing enterprise, diagnostic or desktop-class applications must run natively in the vehicle. Android is common for custom apps, fleet platforms and managed device fleets, and Linux suits embedded, gateway and telematics roles where long-term stability and low maintenance matter most. TERVEX supplies the same terminal family across these platforms so fleets can standardise on one mounting and wiring scheme.

Yes. TERVEX offers OEM and ODM services including private labeling, logo and packaging customization, connector and interface configuration, voltage range selection, mounting and dock design, memory and storage options, and software preloading. Our team supports distributors, integrators and fleet operators from specification and samples through volume delivery.
