Actia India develops end-of-line diagnostic solution for Renault Kwid

Actia India, a joint venture between Actia Automotive and DMG Finance & Investments, has unveiled its latest End-Of-Line (EOL) diagnostic solution, developed for Renault for the Kwid hatchback. This is the first time such a diagnostic solution is implemented in the Indian automotive industry.

To achieve this breakthrough, Actia India says it had to solve the main challenge of proposing a unique software suite combined to a hardware kit able to analyse diagnostic tests made on vehicles, at a cost efficient price.

This has been possible, the company says, thanks to a ‘jugaad innovation’ approach developed in collaboration with Renault, taking into account Renault's technological legacy while processing the necessary adjustments and removing the superfluous aspects of the diagnostic. The unique software suite and the hardware kit enable manufacturers to treat diagnostic tests’ results in a simpler manner, which has a significant impact on their operating costs.
 

Actia India is betting big on the Indian market. According to Pascal Perhirin, Business Development Manager, Off-Highway Solutions and ex-CEO of Actia India: “India is a highly dynamic market and the key words to enter this market are innovation, quality and well-priced products. The latest EOL diagnostic delivered to Renault India makes us today capable of any kind of tailored diagnostic solutions, for all types of vehicles: cars, buses, trucks.”

In addition to this project, Actia India has also implemented a full End-Of-Line diagnostic solutions for Ashok Leyland in India, a project which was completed in 2013.

The company says it can handle various diagnostic requirements in the automotive industry including vehicle manufacturing (End Of line), repairing (VCI, aftersales tools) or maintenance operations (test lanes).
