“With a rich heritage rooted in engineering excellence and an unwavering commitment to customer satisfaction, Actia continues to set benchmarks for reliability and innovation across a range of automotive markets, including commercial vehicles, passenger cars, military applications, and industrial fleets,” said the company.

In the UK, Actia cites its strong track record of supporting the public transport sector.
“From telematics systems that monitor vehicle performance in real time to advanced diagnostic tools, our solutions are tailored to meet the unique challenges of bus and coach operators,” said the company.
“This expertise is now epitomised by our flagship product, Actia MultiDiag.”
Described as a game-changer for workshops and fleet operators, the MultiDiag platform is designed as a comprehensive, all-in-one diagnostic tool, providing full system coverage for a wide range of vehicles, including buses, coaches, and commercial vehicles.
“Whether it’s engine management, braking systems, or climate control, MultiDiag offers unparalleled functionality to help operators identify and resolve issues quickly and efficiently,” said Actia.
The latest evolution of MultiDiag has taken its capabilities to a new level, says the firm.
