HORIBA's atmospheric monitoring vehicle is a mobile unit for assessing environmental conditions, monitoring air pollution, and providing support for fixed measurement stations. Despite its compact size, the vehicle is fully equipped with all the instruments necessary for monitoring atmospheric pollution. As the vehicle can be operated by persons with an ordinary driver's license, there is no need for a full-time driver. The extreme versatility of the vehicle allows for more speedy and flexible atmospheric-pollution monitoring. A large telemetry system for the constant monitoring of atmospheric pollution and a data processing system are no longer necessary - instead, their functions can be fulfilled by a more compact and cost-efficient PC network. HORIBA also prepares environmentally conscious vehicles, such as those using less gasoline or natural gas.

• A large amount of space inside the car can be saved: the vehicle employs AP-360 dry-method analysis equipment, which has the smallest size and the largest number of functions in the industry, as well as a reference gas adjustment equipment, a data logger, and other devices, all placed in a small, lightweight cubicle base.
• Anyone who has an ordinary driver's license is able to operate the vehicle.
• As daily maintenance is simple, operating costs are minimized.
• A PC network can be installed on board for monitoring atmospheric pollution.
• System extension or alteration can be flexibly carried out. Data from other systems can be used.
• Output in 14 different forms, including monthly reports and wind roses, is possible via a laser printer (printouts conform with the Japanese Ministry of the Environment standards).
• A variety of marketed software can be used for data analysis and the creation of materials.
