On 10 October Texa president Bruno Vianello inaugurated the company’s new German branch in Obersulm, north of Stuttgart. Covering more than 3,000 square metres, the new location triples the dimensions of the old premises in Langenbrettach, which had been operational since 2002.
Already a Texa bestseller, the introduction of the latest edition of the Axone Nemo series brings with it added processing power, communication speed and multi-environment software.
This means the same diagnostic hardware can be used across the car, truck, off-highway, bike and marine environments.
Euro Car Parts has expanded its Workshop Solutions diagnostic range with the addition of the Texa car, supercar, motorcycle and LCV portfolio.
Pro-Align’s recent distribution agreement with ADAS diagnostic and calibration tools supplier TEXA shows how garage equipment specialists are adapting to the rapid development of the connected car. Yet the staple equipment remains a vital part of the equation; greater accuracy in the tyre changing and wheel balancing processes can help ensure the full functionality of downstream systems. In addition, Pro-Align tells Tyres & Accessories that balancers and changers are often overlooked in terms of their potential for a workshop’s efficiency and profitability.
Over 500 exhibitors are expected to attend the 2018 Automechanika Birmingham event and stand space is said to be selling fast. Among others, exhibitors include: Delphi, Hella, Liqui Moly, MANN+HUMMEL, Bosch, Snap-On, Milwaukee Tools, Gates Power Transmission, GroupAuto, Texa, Draper Tools, Dura, JHM Butt, ITW, ISN, Certas Energy and others.
Pro-Align and TEXA are collaborating to deliver a series of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) calibration technical seminar. The first free seminar addresses one of the biggest challenges currently faced by workshops, namely the resetting and calibration of ADAS, giving workshops the knowledge needed to service the growing suite of on-board safety systems. Pro-Align added that booking is now open for 2018 seminars.
Pro-Align will offer TEXA ADAS diagnostic and calibration tools, alongside support in the form of a series of technical seminars, in a move that it states will help workshops overcome one of the biggest challenges in servicing modern cars. The leading automotive aftermarket companies have joined forces to help supply workshops with everything they need to reset Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). In addition to communicating information on the subject, Pro-Align, most renowned for its distribution of Hunter wheel alignment, balancing and tyre fitting equipment, has added TEXA’s range to its product portfolio.
As our environment becomes increasingly technologically driven, it is no surprise to learn that as many as 15 per cent of tyres are being bought online. At the same time tyres are becoming more and more “intelligent” with built-in sensors such as TPMS. However, for a long time the business of checking tyre tread depth has been a relatively imprecise affair. A few years back standards improved with the development of digital tread depth probes, some of which even bluetoothed data to cloud-based systems. However, the latest technology takes routine tread depth checks and fleet audits to the next level.
Diagnostic equipment maker Texa has announced plans to exhibit Automechanika, Birmingham for the second consecutive time.
TecRMI, the specialist repair and maintenance information arm of TecAlliance GmbH and TEXA S.p.A. have agreed to cooperate on the use of adjustment data for the commercial vehicle sector.
Texa has announced it will be exhibiting this year at the Coach & Bus Show 2013 and wants to use this opportunity to discuss in detail with operators their current requirements for service and diagnostic tools. As TEXA provide a range of OE diagnostic tools for large coach manufactures, their Multibrand coverage is ideal for workshops maintaining mixed vehicle fleets.
TEXA is undertaking a tour of key venues throughout the UK in order to showcase its hardware and software products. Texa reports that, “due to the lack of trade shows in the UK” the company has decided to stage a series of events to support customers.
Texa is promoting its successor to the Axone 2000 diagnostic tool, the Axone Smart. According to the company, its latest product features “all the required updates provided by today’s modern technology” and the standard software is upgradeable from “light to “plus” for additional information.
Staffordshire-based Eclipse Automotive Technology, the UK’s leading supplier of Texa vehicle diagnostic systems, has created a dedicated Technical Centre in recognition of its growing customer base across the UK. The Technical Centre, based at a separate site in the company’s home town of Burton-upon-Trent, houses Eclipse’s growing technical support team as well as a repair and maintenance facility.
