Startup secures funding for AI virtual car technician
DC Connected Car GmbH has announced the closure of a €2.1M seed funding round to accelerate its mission to revolutionize the $500B automotive aftersales market with its virtual technician platform.
The virtual technician platform being developed by DC Connected Car addresses the shortage of skilled labor in the industry, and its remote diagnostics and advanced AI set new sector benchmarks. Unlike conventional diagnostics, AI-driven solutions deliver automated, intelligent insights into vehicle health and performance, providing real-time problem-solving recommendations. This approach minimizes the need for physical inspections/repairs, but also offers customers remote support. By combining AI with remote diagnostics, DC Connected Car redefines vehicle maintenance and customer convenience, solidifying its position as a standout player in the space, highlighted by its partnerships with major OEMs.
“AI has the potential to revolutionize various automotive areas that Borusan operates in, such as aftersales, fleets, and used car business,” said Timo Kilp, Head of Borusan Ventures. “We believe DC Connected Car’s AI-driven digital technician holds significant promise to accelerate the diagnosis and repair of vehicle issues, further enhancing our customer service.”
Not only disruptive in the automotive repair sector, DC Connected Car is driving innovations in the insurance industry too. Their partnership with Real Garant Versicherung AG marks a new era of digitalization, sustainable mobility, and future-orientated service design.
“With the cooperation with DC Connected Car GmbH, we expect to significantly contribute to environmentally friendly mobility and to drive forward digitalization in the automotive sector by providing digital solutions for warranty and service products,” explains Suzana Janny, Head of Market Proposition at Real Garant Versicherung AG.
This fresh injection of capital will fuel DC Connected Car’s international expansion and development of advanced diagnostic tools for roadside assistance, warranty, and repair. The company has seamlessly integrated and digitized expertise across various automotive departments, breaking down silos and enhancing efficiency.
