At Defy Diagnostics, we’re proud to announce our membership with NAFA — the National Association of Fleet Administrators — a leading authority in fleet management and operational excellence.
For us, this partnership isn’t just about association. It’s about aligning with an organization that has set the national benchmark for professional fleet management, training, and innovation. As NAFA continues to lead the industry with resources, certifications, and advocacy for fleet professionals, we’re honored to join the ranks of members who share a common goal, building smarter, safer, and more efficient fleets.
In this article, we’ll explore why joining NAFA is an important milestone for Defy Diagnostics, how it benefits the customers and industries we serve, and what this means for the future of fleet diagnostics and technology integration across the country.
Championing Fleet Standards Through NAFA Membership
NAFA — the National Association of Fleet Administrators — has been the gold standard in fleet education, networking, and leadership for more than 60 years. Its influence reaches across government, utility, and commercial fleet sectors, promoting safe, cost-effective, and sustainable fleet operations.
By joining NAFA, we’re aligning Defy Diagnostics with this legacy of excellence. Our goal is to provide fleet professionals with the diagnostic intelligence, tools, and training they need to keep vehicles running efficiently and safely. From advanced diagnostic platforms like TEXA IDC6 software to calibration systems such as the TEXA RCCS3 ADAS and precision Konfort A/C service machines, our solutions are built around the same principles that NAFA promotes: efficiency, accountability, and innovation.
Why NAFA Membership Matters for Fleet Managers and Technicians
For fleet managers, the challenges of today’s industry extend far beyond basic maintenance. Between emission regulations, ADAS calibration, mixed fuel types, and evolving diagnostics, staying compliant and efficient requires both expertise and the right technology. NAFA provides members with that structure, offering certifications like CAFM® (Certified Automotive Fleet Manager) and CAFS® (Certified Automotive Fleet Specialist) that set professional standards nationwide.
Our membership gives Defy Diagnostics direct access to these standards and insights, helping us stay ahead of trends and better support our customers’ evolving needs. We can share this knowledge through our training, consultations, and ongoing support for fleets that rely on TEXA diagnostic platforms and related equipment.
Whether it’s helping a municipal fleet integrate Multihub 2 for advanced connectivity, or advising a private maintenance team on data-driven diagnostics using IDC6’s cloud-based reporting, we believe professional development and technology must go hand-in-hand, and NAFA provides the environment to make that possible.

Supporting Fleet Innovation and Sustainability
NAFA has been at the forefront of sustainability and fleet electrification initiatives for years, championing cleaner, greener operations through its Sustainable Fleet Accreditation program. At Defy Diagnostics, we share this vision.
Modern diagnostics are not just about reading fault codes, they’re about preventing them. With TEXA’s cross-industry platforms covering automotive, truck, off-highway, and marine applications, we help fleets minimize downtime, improve fuel efficiency, and reduce emissions through proactive data-driven insights.
Our product lineup, including the TEXA Axone Voice, Axone Plus, and Konfort 780R dual-gas A/C machine, is built for the next generation of fleet maintenance. By pairing these technologies with the best practices outlined by NAFA, we’re empowering fleets to transition into a new era of intelligent, connected vehicle care.
Bringing Together Experience, Technology, and Community
Our membership in NAFA also opens the door to a powerful community of fleet leaders, from city and county agencies to national service providers. These relationships are where collaboration begins, and innovation accelerates.
By engaging with NAFA’s events, workshops, and resources, we’ll continue sharing real-world solutions that make a measurable difference, like streamlining preventive maintenance schedules, using GYS battery support systems for EV diagnostics, or improving accuracy with RCCS3 ADAS calibration in complex safety systems.
