DG Technologies to Showcase Clean Truck Check Tools at TMC in Nashville

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

DG Technologies to Showcase Clean Truck Check Tools at TMC in Nashville

FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich., Jan. 27, 2025 – Secure vehicle diagnostics leader DG Technologies is gearing up to spotlight its expanded Truck-Connect series of fleet analysis tools at TMC’s 2025 Annual Meeting this March in Nashville, Tenn.

This year, as an exhibitor at booth #1735, the Detroit-area company will feature its new DPA Inspect (www.dpainspect.truck-connect.com), an application certified last fall by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) for use in the state’s Clean Truck Check program.

DG Technologies, which specializes in vehicle network engineering, fleet cybersecurity and diagnostics and reprogramming tools, is a longtime participant in the American Trucking Associations’ (ATA) Technology and Maintenance Council’s (TMC) annual event, which will take place this year from March 10 to 13 at Nashville’s Music City Center.

DPA Inspect software works with DG Technologies’ long-trusted DPA XL and DPA 5 PRO diagnostic and reprogramming devices to extract and encrypt on-board diagnostic (OBD) data from trucks and send the information directly to CARB for a pass/fail determination.

Compliance testing for CARB’s Clean Truck Check started last fall and will involve regular testing of most non-gasoline heavy-duty vehicles with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) over 14,000 pounds that operate on public roads and highways in California.

DG’s approved DPA Inspect software and DPA devices went through extensive testing to be certified and are permitted for use as part of Clean Truck Check only by technicians who are credentialed through CARB’s no-cost tester training course and have received a Tester ID.

Truck-Connect is a web portal that houses a customer dashboard and all of DG Technologies’ and partner Synercon Technologies’ cloud-based applications and products, including DPA Inspect, DPA Health, DPA Mobile and DPA Diagnostics, that work with DG’s DPA devices to provide predictive fleet analytics, mobile diagnostics, crash investigation data and utilization optimization.

VSI NxGen: Product Spotlight

PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT: VSI NxGen from DG Technologies

According to Vehicle Service Pros’ 2023 Aftermarket Profile on Diagnostics, 44 percent of auto shop owners and technicians offered reflashing or reprogramming services. Of those who didn’t, 17 percent said they would but they don’t own the equipment for it.

That’s where DG Technologies’ VSI NxGen comes in.

The VSI NxGen, DG’s latest vehicle standard interface offers users car manufacturer software compatibility to give automotive technicians dealer-level capabilities to reprogram cars. Compared to bringing in mobile programming servicers or towing the vehicle to a dealer, the VSI NxGen is simple, secure and saves time. And to maintain your own car, this is a fun and easy tool to use. It is the latest and most cybersecure device, offering technicians and vehicle security professionals ECU programming, ADAS calibration, diagnostics and security access with J2534-1/-2 compliance.

Trusted by OEMs, the VSI NxGen has been tested and used since it came out in 2020, as the latest version of our VSI brand. This DG Technologies tool allows customers to run vehicle diagnostics, module programming, ADAS calibration, key programming, and recording and analyzing vehicle network data through DG Diagnostics. The secure connection from PC to vehicle through our USB connection is protected by CyberGuard through an embedded hardware security module.

These days, access to the latest SAE J2534-compliant device is essential for auto repair. In 1996, many engine and transmission ECUs began requiring software updates and programming, and now many electronically controlled parts require periodic software updates and programming upon installation. It was as that time that DG Technologies came on the scene as a leader in creating the necessary tools to keep up with advancements in the industry. Recent Right to Repair legislation has now brought access to software-driven ECU programming, vehicle diagnostics, repair information and vehicle security access to shops and technicians. With the VSI NxGen, advanced repair and revenue opportunities are now available to everyone.

The VSI NxGen is SAE J2534-compliant. It has four independent CAN channels, and is both CAN FD and FT CAN capable. It meets mandated emission-related programming for all vehicle makes and models.

If you are in the business, the return on investment and benefits of controlling the entire process to serve your customers are clear. Make your shop stand out as the local expert with the best repair turnaround time with DG Technologies’ VSI NxGen.

Check out the VSI NxGen on YouTube.
