JULY - AUGUST 2025Autobusiness outlook6The automotive aftermarket is going through some big changes owing to technology. From smart devices powered by the Internet of Things (IoT) to the growing popularity of electric vehicles (EVs), we're seeing the entire industry shift toward a more connected, efficient, and eco-friendly future.Cars can now alert potential issues in real time, and in some cases, even be diagnosed or repaired remotely. That means safer, smarter driving and less stress for vehicle owners. EVs are also playing a huge part in this transformation. Reducing emissions, they're breathing new life into older vehicles and making cleaner transportation more accessible.Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) are another game-changer. Features like lane-keeping assistance, automatic braking, and blind-spot monitoring--once found only in luxury vehicles are widely available, making roads safer for everyone.Then there's customization. Thanks to technologies like 3D printing, car owners can now personalize their vehicles more easily than ever, whether it's for performance, looks, or both.With all this innovation comes the need for collaboration. Manufacturers, regulators, and aftermarket professionals need to work together to make sure these new technologies are not only effective but also safe, secure, and sustainable.This issue of Auto Business Outlook spotlights aftermarket companies across the U.S. that are leading the way in innovation.
