ROB RUN Vehicle Guide

Cars, Helicopters, Cargo Capacity and Upgrade Uses

Your vehicle is earning equipment. It determines how you reach a target, how much you can carry, and how reliably you can leave with the profit.

Choose it for the job before choosing it for status.

1. Rentals and owned vehicles

If you do not have an active vehicle, the official guidance directs you to a Parking Terminal for a free rental.

Your own vehicle requires the appropriate property facilities. The official help describes a plot with a house or garage and storing the vehicle key in the key locker.

Before replacing or recalling a vehicle: empty its trunk and inspect any warning about its contents.

2. Main researched vehicles

  • Fukurou Tensa: an early personal-car option.
  • Royal E: a further car progression option.
  • Longhorn Wild: a higher-tier vehicle option.
  • Buletti Soltempra: a premium car. The launch update specifically removed its ability to transport shipments.
  • Longhorn Van: an early van option to inspect for transport work.
  • Longhorn Titan: a further transport progression option.
  • Royal J: a higher-tier vehicle in that branch.
  • Romanov R8: the helicopter option in the researched vehicle list.

These are progression choices, not a universal ranking. Check seats, handling, cargo capability, module compatibility, and price in the live game.

A premium car that cannot carry your cargo is not an upgrade for a cargo business.

3. Performance and handling modules

Module familyPurpose
ECU, Improved ECU, High-performance ECUVehicle performance upgrades.
Turbo Kit, Improved Turbo KitEngine-power upgrades.
Intercooler, Improved IntercoolerImproves engine performance under load.
Steering Rack, Reinforced Steering RackHandling and control upgrades.
Racing RotorAn upgrade described as improving stability and tyre traction.

A module's name is not enough to infer an exact percentage or real-world mechanical effect. Use the game's description and compare the vehicle before and after installation.

4. Carrying and information modules

Trunk Bags, Large Trunk Bags, Spacious Trunk Bags: trunk-capacity upgrades.

Cargo Rack and Reinforced Cargo Rack: cargo-carrying upgrades. Check which vehicle and cargo system they support.

Vehicle Police Radio: an information-related vehicle module. It is a separate item from the handheld Police Radio.

Business advice: capacity upgrades are useful when they reduce the number of trips needed to sell a profitable load. Calculate the extra profit per journey rather than buying them only because the next tier is available.

5. Vehicle facilities at your base

Car Lift: supports changing vehicle modules.

Car Garage and Large Car Garage: vehicle facilities within the base.

Helipad: supports helicopter ownership and use.

Buying a helicopter is restricted by territory conditions in the official guidance. Finding one in loot and buying one are different acquisition routes.

6. Your trunk is not a bank

The official transport guidance confirms that other players can lockpick vehicle trunks, including police vehicles.

Do not treat a parked vehicle as permanent secure storage.

Before leaving it:
  • Remove items you cannot afford to lose.
  • Keep the next destination in mind.
  • Avoid leaving a valuable load unattended while doing unrelated tasks.

7. Choose upgrades by your work

Cargo operator: compatible capacity and reliable routes.

City robber: handling, escape reliability, and affordable replacement.

Production owner: enough transport capacity to keep workstations supplied and clear finished stock.

Clan logistics: coordinated transport and clear responsibility for valuable loads.

Driving a familiar vehicle well can be more valuable than owning an expensive vehicle you cannot control reliably.
