Digital Integration for Commercial Transport Energy Storage

Clarios and Cojali S.L. are releasing a digital diagnostic service that embeds low-voltage component mapping and replacement protocols directly into workshop software. This collaborative integration targets the commercial vehicle industry, providing technicians with centralized technical data to execute electrical maintenance and reduce fleet downtime.

System Architecture and Component Mapping
The electrical architecture of modern commercial vehicles requires precise component matching to ensure operational stability. Through this joint deployment, commercial workshops access an interconnected database hosted across the VARTA Partner Portal and Jaltest Diagnostics software. The system utilizes specific vehicle-battery mappings to cross-reference and identify the exact low-voltage power unit required for heavily equipped commercial fleets. By consolidating original equipment (OE) diagnostic intelligence with specific battery parameters, the platform eliminates estimation in component selection and ensures the replacement part meets the manufacturer's energy output specifications.

Standardized Procedures and Operational Efficiency
Beyond hardware identification, the service equips technicians with digitized, step-by-step battery replacement and installation protocols. Integrating these instructions directly into the primary diagnostic workflow minimizes maintenance downtime and ensures adherence to factory safety standards across multiple languages and international markets.

Integrating specialized component solutions into diagnostic software allows repair facilities to make data-driven decisions that improve efficiency, according to José María Reguillo, Global Director of Sales and Business Development for Jaltest Diagnostics and OEM Solutions at Cojali. Furthermore, Theres Gosztonyi, Vice President Aftermarket EMEA at Clarios, notes that connecting OE diagnostic intelligence with component-level expertise provides fleet operators direct access to the exact specifications required to service technically complex commercial transports.

Additional Context
This section details technical specifications and competitive benchmarking not included in the original news release.

In the commercial vehicle diagnostic sector, software platforms such as Cojali’s Jaltest Diagnostics compete directly with multi-brand systems like TEXA IDC5 and the Bosch KTS Truck series. Diagnostic tools in this category are benchmarked by their commercial vehicle electronic control unit (ECU) coverage, bi-directional testing capabilities, and the depth of integrated technical data. While standard heavy-duty scan tools can read basic diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), advanced platforms provide proprietary OEM-level resets, parameterizations, and component coding. Integrating specific component manufacturer databases—such as VARTA’s battery mappings—directly into the primary diagnostic interface creates a closed-loop data environment. This integration reduces the need for technicians to cross-reference third-party technical databases or external digital supply chain portals during routine electrical maintenance, lowering standard repair times.
