ACTIA Group, founded in 1986 and headquartered in Toulouse, France, specializes in the design, manufacture, and operation of high-tech electronic systems for sectors including automotive, aerospace, energy, and telecommunications. As the inventor of electronic diagnostics and a pioneer in vehicle architecture, particularly multiplexed systems, ACTIA offers products such as telematics units, instrumentation panels, and control systems. The company's commitment to innovation, sustainability, and technological excellence has established it as a leader in electronic diagnostics and vehicle architecture. With a global presence spanning Europe, the Americas, Asia, and Africa, ACTIA collaborates with OEMs, fleet operators, and industrial partners to deliver customized solutions that enhance performance, safety, and efficiency.
All the features that make a vehicle “smart” require on-board systems. Systems management software is a major component of vehicle development costs. It is this creation of value that ACTIA wishes to promote by combining.
ACTIA wants to offer its auto mechanic customers that use Multi-Diag: the most comprehensive electronic diagnostics and repair tool on the market, which can also handle the most recent vehicles with the very latest vehicle manufacturer technologies. Never having to turn any vehicle away is the exiting prospect.
ACTIA continues to structure the Power division, enhancing the clarity of its vehicle electrification businesses. This division consolidates the various activities of the ACTIA group relating to the design and manufacture of on-board batteries, power electronics and electrification systems for electric and hydrogen hybrid mobility.
ACTIA’s latest participation in the Rencontres Flottes Automobiles (booth C12) trade show is a great opportunity for the group to highlight the remarkable growth in its iCAN2 telematics unit business. Five thousand units were sold in 2020 and this year it is set to reach a sales volume of 15,000 units. Forecast sales for 2022 are in excess of 50,000 units!
ACTIA is boosting the volume capacities of its diagnostics hotline. This support service is aimed at all customers of Multi-Diag, ACTIA’s multi-make diagnostics and repair tool. This community represents around 13,000 customers. They include independent garage owners of course, but also technicians in major multi-make networks that are Multi-Diag customers such as: Midas, Feu Vert, Euromaster, Autodistribution, ERCS, etc.
All observers agree that when it comes to autonomous vehicles, the end of the road is not yet in sight. And yet ACTIA, due to its expertise in electronic architecture and vehicle connectivity, is already in a position to offer technology building blocks which are directly linked to the functions of smart and autonomous vehicles.
The ACTIA Group will be one of the few western equipment manufacturers to be physically present at the Automotive World Japan exhibition, from 20 to 22 January 2021, the leading exhibition for automotive technologies in the Asian region.
Since the Euro V law of October 2009, all car repairers have access to manufacturer data in order to reprogram the ECUs of the vehicle they are working on. In professional jargon, this is referred to as Passthru for ECUs reprogramming. In practice this is not so simple.
