DTEC Strengthens Global Mobility Ecosystem with AI and Blockchain Partnerships

DTEC, a technology brand that integrates artificial intelligence and blockchain into the automotive industry, has announced expanded strategic partnerships with global automotive leaders including Mercedes-Benz, Hyundai, Renault, and Ford [1]. These collaborations are part of DTEC's broader initiative to build a smart mobility ecosystem driven by AI and decentralized infrastructure. The integration discussions include prototype development, with DTEC’s AI assistant system already in use within Mercedes-Benz vehicles and being adapted for use in Hyundai’s prototype projects. Technical discussions with Renault and Ford are ongoing at the prototype stage [1].

DTEC’s AI assistant is a multilingual, voice-operated platform that learns user behavior and interacts with in-vehicle hardware and connected smart devices [1]. It supports 22 languages and is designed to streamline user interaction with vehicle systems, offering a unified interface that enhances both driver experience and vehicle functionality. This system exemplifies DTEC’s vision for a seamless and intelligent mobility experience.

The company is also expanding its AI capabilities beyond the automotive sector into retail and customer service. Through the Shopify Store, DTEC has made its AI assistant available for e-commerce platforms, enabling online retailers to offer customers features such as voice-activated product search, cart creation, and purchase completion [1]. In addition, DTEC has partnered with Genesys to develop tailored solutions for brands with high-volume customer communication needs. These solutions are adaptable across multiple industries, including aviation [1].

A key component of DTEC’s ecosystem is its DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network) model, which verifies user data from vehicles on the blockchain and rewards contributors with the $DTEC utility token [1]. The token is listed on major exchanges including Bitget, Gate.io, MEXC, and SafeBit. This model supports a decentralized and secure data environment while incentivizing user participation through token rewards.

Ranked among the world’s Top 50 most secure projects by CertiK, DTEC has outlined plans to launch pilot projects in logistics, e-commerce, and customer service during the second half of 2025 [1]. The company also plans to showcase its next-generation vehicle technologies at CES 2026, a move that underscores its ambition for global recognition and adoption.

Emre İşlek, Blockchain Director of DTEC, highlighted the company’s role in enabling a decentralized and data-driven transformation across automotive, retail, and customer service sectors [1]. Developed since 2014 and rooted in the engineering expertise of Dizayn VIP, DTEC’s technology includes in-vehicle voice assistants, personalized driving experiences, and IoT integration, all supported by a transparent data-driven reward mechanism [1].
