The HCV-Mobile facilitates a thorough inspection of stationary vehicles or loads while moving the mobile system. The HCV-Mobile distinguishes itself by unique flexibility. Being a vehicle-mounted device, it is ready to operate anywhere in less than 30 minutes and can inspect up to 30 trucks per hour. Its image resolution capability indicates smuggled goods, weapons and drugs in detail.

The HCV-Mobile is the most efficient high-energy mobile system available (4MeV – up to 270 mm steel penetration) for the inspection of fully loaded trucks, vehicles and containers at ports, Customs and border checkpoints.
