RAM® Mounts securely supported laptops in Cummins test vehicles, improving visibility of live vehicle data with rugged, adjustable mounting solutions.
The Challenge
Cummins engineers rely on laptops to monitor engine performance and vehicle parameters throughout on-road testing. During these evaluations, quick access to live data is essential for validating performance and identifying issues without disrupting the testing process.
Without a dedicated mounting solution, many engineers simply rested their laptops on the vehicle’s center console. This created an inconsistent testing experience, making it difficult to view the device safely while driving.
Cummins needed a solution that could:
- Securely mount laptops inside test vehicles
- Improve visibility of live vehicle data during testing
- Position the screen closer to the driver’s natural line of sight
- Support comfortable, repeatable testing workflows
- Withstand daily use across engineering test vehicles

The Solution
Cummins deployed RAM® No-Drill™ laptop mounting systems across its RAM truck testing program, providing engineers with a dedicated workstation inside the cab. The adjustable mounting system positions the laptop higher and closer to the dashboard, making it easier to monitor testing data without constantly looking down toward the center console.
The dual articulating swing arm on RAM® No-Drill™ Laptop Mount provides a high level of adjustability, allowing users to position the laptop for comfortable viewing while keeping it securely mounted during testing. The solution gives engineers consistent access to the information they need while reducing the inconvenience of balancing a laptop during vehicle evaluations.
Over time, additional solutions from RAM® Mounts have been added to the program as testing needs evolved, continuing to support engineers who rely on real-time visibility into vehicle performance throughout daily validation work.
The Results
For engineers who actively monitor laptop data during testing, the RAM® No-Drill™ Laptop Mount has become an important part of their workflow. By providing a secure, adjustable mounting location, the solution helps improve screen visibility and create a more practical in-vehicle workspace for collecting and reviewing live vehicle data efficiently.
RAM® Mounts helped Cummins by:
Improving visibility of critical vehicle parameters during testing
Providing a secure mounting solution for laptops inside test vehicles trusted across the RAM truck testing program
Positioning laptops closer to the driver’s natural viewing area
Supporting more efficient and consistent engineering workflows
