Advertising boards & digital signage
Passengers are a seated audience with time on their hands, which is why buses, coaches and taxis carry advertising. A screen in a vehicle has a harder life than one on a wall, though. It runs from the vehicle's electrical system, it is shaken all day, and it still has to be readable in a cabin full of daylight.
Bus & Taxi Advertising Displays (view the range) are listed at 10.1, 15.6, 18.5, 21.5, 24, 27 and 32 inch, in Full HD at 350 cd/m², with a DC 8 to 36 V power input, an Android configuration, Wi-Fi and 4G connectivity, and ceiling or pole mounting. The range is described as dust and shock resistant, without a test standard being quoted. For long, narrow spaces such as the strip above a doorway, Stretched Bar Displays (view the range) are an alternative format.
A vehicle screen is only as good as its content supply. Updates can arrive over Wi-Fi at the depot or over a mobile connection on the road, and digital signage content management is scoped separately around your fleet, your routes and who sells the advertising. Mobile data contracts are arranged separately from the hardware.

Showing all 2 products
Stretched bar displays
Ultra-wide bar screens in sixteen sizes from 19.5 to 80 inch for shelf edges, counters and narrow wall bands, in wall-mount or open-frame formats.
Bus and taxi advertising displays
Vehicle displays from 10.1 to 32 inch for buses, coaches and taxis, with ceiling or pole mounting, a DC 8–36 V input reference and Wi-Fi or 4G options.
Where they fit
Run advertising and operator messages on ceiling-mounted screens that passengers can see from their seats.
Show advertising and service information to passengers in the back of the vehicle, using the smaller sizes in the range.
Show route notices, service changes and safety messages. Linking to live vehicle or timetable data is a software integration to scope, not a built-in feature.
Example application: an airport shuttle or a sightseeing vehicle carries welcome messages, sponsor content and visitor information.
Choosing
An indoor display expects a mains socket and a still wall. The transport range lists a DC 8 to 36 V input, intended for vehicle electrical systems, and is described as dust and shock resistant. Brightness is listed at 350 cd/m², an indoor level, so very sunny cabins may need careful positioning away from direct light.
The range information describes the displays as dustproof and shockproof but does not quote a test standard, so we do not quote one either. If your operator, vehicle builder or contract requires a specific standard, give us the reference in your enquiry and we will confirm whether the selected model meets it.
Ceiling mounting and pole mounting are the listed options, which suit buses and coaches. Smaller units for taxis are pictured in the range, and the mounting for your vehicles is confirmed with your quotation. Fixing into a vehicle should be agreed with the vehicle builder or your fleet engineer.
A standard 16:9 screen suits adverts and video that already exist. A stretched bar display suits the long, shallow spaces found over doors and along coving, for example for next-stop style messages. The vehicle power input is not stated for the stretched range, so it is confirmed for your configuration.
Both are listed. Wi-Fi suits vehicles that return to a depot with a wireless network, where content can update overnight. 4G suits vehicles that need changes during the day, and needs a SIM and data plan for each connection. Content management and mobile data are both arranged separately from the hardware.
Beyond the hardware
Applications and management tools are designed and built per project, then quoted separately from the hardware.

Questions
The range lists a DC 8 to 36 V power input, which is intended for vehicle supplies, not a mains socket. How each screen is wired, fused and switched should be agreed with your fleet engineer or vehicle builder. The power details for the selected model are confirmed with your quotation.
The range is described as dustproof and shockproof, but no test standard is quoted in the range information, so we do not claim one. If you need compliance with a particular standard, include it in your enquiry and we will confirm it for the selected model before you order.
Wi-Fi and 4G connectivity are listed for the range. With Wi-Fi, vehicles typically update when they are back at the depot. With 4G, updates can arrive on the road, and each connection needs its own SIM and data plan. The content management that schedules and sends the content is scoped separately: see digital signage content management.
It can be scoped, subject to the agreed integration. The display hardware does not do this by itself: location-based content depends on software that knows where the vehicle is, and on access to your vehicle or timetable data. Tell us what you would like to achieve and we will assess it under software integration.
The range lists 10.1, 15.6, 18.5, 21.5, 24, 27 and 32 inch. Smaller sizes suit taxis; larger sizes suit ceiling mounting in buses and coaches. The right size depends on headroom and sight lines in your vehicles, so send us the vehicle type when you enquire.
Vehicle installation has to satisfy the vehicle builder, your fleet engineer and any regulations that apply to your vehicles, so it is normally carried out or supervised by people who know the vehicle. We confirm dimensions, weight, mounting points and power requirements for the selected model, and rollout across a fleet can be planned under installation and rollout.
Describe what the screen needs to do and where it will go. We will recommend the right hardware and software and confirm the configuration in a written quotation.
