2. Digimax specifically — why they’re fading out
There’s no strong recent evidence of Digimax taximeters being:
Included in newer approved meter lists (e.g. 2024 fare updates focus on brands like Digitax, Cygnus, etc.)
Actively supported in Ireland
At the same time:
Some Digimax-related companies have been dissolved or inactive
Others exist but aren’t clearly tied to ongoing taximeter development/support
