OUR STORY · SINGAPORE, 2024

Built from a
real need.

A car problem that came and went. A workshop visit with no symptoms left to show. A reason to make car data easier to understand.

BUILT AROUND UNDERSTANDING.

FROM FRUSTRATION TO PURPOSE

It started with
Ben’s own car.

01 / THE PROBLEM

The symptoms didn’t wait.

Ben’s car kept developing issues that came and went. By the time he reached a workshop, the symptoms were often gone.

02 / THE GAP

Data needed a clearer voice.

Looking for answers, he explored professional diagnostic tools. Most were built for mechanics, rather than everyday drivers, with technical terms and raw fault codes that could be hard to interpret.

03 / THE IDEA

Help drivers understand.

So Ben founded PD-1: a Singapore brand created to bring clarity, transparency and confidence to the automotive industry through data.

THE REASON WE STARTED

“I wanted drivers to understand their cars, not just read codes.”
