SPX Service Solutions, a business unit of SPX Corporation,
has entered into an agreement with Toyota Motor
Corporation to supply a new Vehicle Interface Module (VIM) for
the Toyota Diagnostic tool.
The new VIM, to be based on SPX
proprietary vehicle communication interface technology, will be
developed as a global tool and utilized as an approved
diagnostic repair solution for Toyota dealers. The announcement
was made at the Automechanika 2010 trade show taking place in
Frankfurt, Germany.
SPX will
provide a VIM that will meet both current global requirements as
well as support future vehicles. As the new VIM is deployed
globally, exclusive of Japan and North America, SPX will provide
technical support on a regional basis to meet the needs of
Toyota's worldwide market.
"This assignment from Toyota is a significant undertaking. We
will work with Toyota to integrate its next generation of
hardware for the critical service function of vehicle
diagnostics," says Tanvir Arfi, President, SPX Service
Solutions. "This tool, which interfaces with the New Toyota
Diagnostics Tool (Global Techstream) diagnostic platform,
clearly demonstrates SPX Service Solutions' expertise in vehicle
service technologies, accumulated over the nearly 100 years
we've been working with automotive manufacturers. It also
underscores our market position as an innovative technology
leader in the vehicle service industry."
