Techno Vector

What Techno Vector does

Techno Vector (legal entity ООО "Технокар") is a Russian designer and manufacturer of computer wheel alignment stands and complementary auto-service equipment, founded in 1997 and headquartered in Tula, Russia, on a 20,000 m² site that includes 8,000 m² of workshops. The company sells exclusively through a network of 270+ authorized dealers and service centers across 50+ Russian cities, with no direct-to-end-user sales channel. Its product portfolio spans five generations of alignment stands (Technovector 4 cord-based, 5 infrared, 6 3D Free Motion, 7 3D series including Mobile Computer and Truck variants, and 8 contactless SMARTLIGHT and VELOX lines) plus complementary iPRO-branded balancing machines and tire changers, Tornado-branded wheel washers, four-post vehicle lifts, and ADAS calibration stands.

The core technology rests on proprietary industrial computer vision and laser/structured-light measurement: the flagship Technovector 8 contactless stands use cyclic structured-light projection captured by stereo industrial cameras to compute wheel geometry in seconds without wheel adapters, while VELOX variants add drive-through high-speed inspection and a built-in IP camera with license-plate recognition for automated order entry. Supporting features include aNET Wi-Fi cloud connectivity, BiSonar ultrasonic weight-placement measurement, DPP laser 3D weight-point indication, and iDrive adaptive engine management for balancing/tire equipment.

Techno Vector makes money primarily through one-time hardware sales of alignment stands and bundled equipment kits (priced 771,000–4,072,000 ₽), recurring spare-parts and consumable revenue, dealer-provided installation and warranty service, and — from March 2026 — financial leasing of Technovector, iPRO, and Tornado equipment. Software updates are provided free for the equipment's full service life. Customer segments are auto-service centers and СТО (primary) and commercial vehicle fleets (secondary). The company holds ISO 9001 certification and type-approval certification as a measurement instrument, and was presented internationally at GTSHOW 2026 in China in March 2026.
