Click the "Select File" button above, and choose your VEH file.
You’ll see a preview, if available.

Convert VEH to another file type
To convert your VEH file to another format, you need rFactor or other Game software.
Convert a file to VEH
To convert other file formats to the "Simulation Configuration File" file type, you need software like rFactor or a similar tool.
About VEH files
The .VEH extension acts as a critical configuration container in two very different industries: civil engineering and motorsport simulation.
Civil Engineering (AutoTURN): In the CAD world, .VEH files are generated by AutoTURN from Transoft Solutions. These files store precise vehicle geometry - wheelbase, track width, and steering limits - used for swept path analysis within host platforms like AutoCAD or MicroStation.
The Problem: These files are proprietary and version-sensitive. A client or stakeholder without an expensive AutoTURN license cannot view the vehicle specs inside the file. Furthermore, older versions may use binary formatting, while newer ones utilize JSON.
The Solution: For newer files, converting/viewing as JSON or TXT reveals the raw dimensional data. For reporting and archiving, converting the visual representation to PDF prevents formatting issues.
Sim Racing (rFactor/gMotor2): In games like rFactor, GTR2, and Automobilista, the .VEH file is the "conductor" of a vehicle mod. It is a plain text file that defines the car's name, class, and references other asset files (like MAS for meshes or HDV for physics).
The Problem: While editable with Notepad, these files are strict about syntax. Users often need to convert associated files (like DDS textures) rather than the .VEH itself, or they need to convert the .VEH logic into a format compatible with newer engines like Assetto Corsa.
If you want to convert VEH file to EXE, ISO, BIN, CUE, PAK, WAD, PK3, PK4, BSP, MAP, SAV or DAT, you can use rFactor or similar software from the "Vehicle Configuration & Simulation Data" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert MOD, BIN, CFG, SCX, DAT, MPQ, LOG, CUE, INI, EXE, SCM or ISO files to VEH, try rFactor or another comparable tool in the "Vehicle Configuration & Simulation Data" category.
The VEH Converter Story
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our VEH converter.
