MILESTONE #6
Pole Position for DiagRA® LE
After the rollout of DiagRA® D to the automotive industry, the activities of RA Consulting picked up speed again with the new variable diagnostic tool DiagRA® LE. With its introduction in 2001, this software made it possible to serve a wide range of different customers with very specific after-sales requirements.
A highlight was the joint project with Lamborghini – LaRA-EOL. In 2003, the highly motivated team led by the current General Manager Andreas Hege and the Diagnostic Specialist Sergej Stribuk succeeded in equipping the end-of-line testing of the Gallardo sports car in Sant’Agata with our systems and supporting it throughout the entire production period until 2013. The LaRA system is still used here in after-sales to this day.
In addition to its use by Lamborghini and other sports car manufacturers, DiagRA® LE’s diverse applications range from engine control for large luxury yachts to the development of industrial engines such as forklift trucks. DiagRA LE also took pole position on the race track: engineers used the specially configured software in their test vehicles ahead of the Grand Prix in Silverstone (UK). Sergej often supported the racing teams directly on site.

Our General Manager Andreas Hege recalls:
“With the increasing installation of electronic components, the number of control units in vehicles and other industrial sectors has been rising steadily since the early 2000s. As one of the few ECU software experts, we received inquiries from all over the world and from a wide range of industries as early as 20 years ago. With DiagRA® LE, we were able to provide many interested parties with an individually configurable and very user-friendly diagnostic and flashing tool that they could not find anywhere else“.
