What is Motrix?

In the app, by one of three fictional Dutch plates, by the one example VIN that has a record, or by manual selection in six steps; where the configuration is still open, it asks instead of guessing. An invited person can also look up a real Dutch plate, which gives the facts its registration states and no technical values. VIN decoding against real vehicle data is planned.

Any other valid VIN is checked and split into its parts, but finds no example vehicle.

In the app, each value carries what it applies to (engine and gearbox codes, production dates, VIN ranges, markets and equipment codes) and is checked against the identified vehicle: values that do not apply are folded away, and a value the configuration cannot decide is marked “Check applicability” instead of being shown as fitting. Motrix is being built to apply the same rule to real documents.

“No verified source, no answer” is the rule Motrix is being built on: a value becomes an answer only when it comes from a class A or B source that has been reviewed on its current revision, carries the page or section it was read from, applies to the identified vehicle and has no open conflict. Today nothing in Motrix is verified knowledge, so the app shows the rule on fictional sources.

In the app, a fact with no source shows no value: the A/C refrigerant row reads “Refrigerant type and charge are not modelled.” on all three example vehicles, the recalls view reads “Recalls not connected”, and the app’s empty state is “No source connected”. Values whose source is still pending review, or whose source has a newer revision not yet retrieved, are shown with a Pending review or Stale marker on their source badge; they are not verified knowledge. A condition a source does not state reads “Not stated in source”.

In the app, Motrix shows both values side by side, each under its source with its document, revision and applicability, and does not choose a winner. Motrix is being built to handle conflicts in real documents the same way.

For a safety value such as a tightening torque or a fluid specification, one line is added under the label “Until resolved”: do not release the vehicle; confirm the value against the current manufacturer revision before tightening or filling.

Yes, for workshops that Motrix has invited. Workshop is available now, by invitation only: customers and vehicles, work orders, estimates with the customer’s approval, quality control and invoices. There is no public sign-up. The app also shows, on fictional data, the technical information a job is planned to start from.

Today the operator of Motrix is not named publicly. A named operator and a contact will be added to the privacy notice and the terms. Until then accounts are by invitation only, and there is no public sign-up.

No. Motrix is not affiliated with or endorsed by any vehicle manufacturer; makes and models are named only to identify the example vehicles.
