Transformation of the Automotive Aftermarket Industry

The automotive aftermarket industry is riding a wave of transformation. As vehicle populations reach historic heights, and cars stay on the road longer than ever before, this industry is gaining new energy. Rising consumer demand for high-end accessories, upgrades, convenience, and customization is prompting vehicle original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and suppliers to rethink every link in the value chain, from digital sales channels to post-purchase experiences.

Driving Continuous Revolution: How the Automotive Aftermarket Industry Is Transforming

How OEMs Are Revolutionizing the Used Car Space with Digital Tools and CPO Programs

Across global landscapes, automakers are no longer treating used vehicles as mere trade-in byproducts. Instead, they’re positioning pre-owned sales as a core profit driver and customer retention tool.

Innovation Powering China’s Auto Industry

China’s automotive industry is relentlessly pursuing transformation, rapidly positioning itself as a global leader in mobility and off-highway equipment modernization. However, this momentum persists despite headwinds unique to China, such as persistent supply chain disruptions triggered by global trade tensions and overcapacity concerns in the electric vehicle (EV) space. Even so, the industry continues to advance, fueled by disruptive technologies, the broadening of model portfolios—especially in new energy vehicles—and the adoption of innovative business models.

Ford’s $30,000 Universal EV Platform: Can It Compete with China’s Affordable BEV Leaders?

Chinese electric vehicle (EV) makers are redefining affordability and performance, reshaping consumer expectations in the global industries. As BYD, SAIC, and other Chinese OEMs accelerate exports, legacy automakers are under mounting pressure to respond. Ford’s answer? A new Universal EV Platform that underpins a $30,000 electric vehicle, designed to combine cost-efficiency with scale. The stakes are high: if Ford succeeds, it could become the first legacy automaker to confront China’s battery electric vehicle (BEV) dominance head-on.

Samsara Beyond 2025 Keynote: Reimagining AI-led Physical Operations

At its Beyond 2025 Keynote held in June in San Diego, Samsara reinforced its position as a frontrunner in AI-driven operational intelligence. The company unveiled a portfolio of new solutions built on data, AI, and edge-to-cloud intelligence, each designed to improve efficiency, safety, sustainability and compliance in physical operations, an area that has historically lagged in digital adoption.

Samsara today stands among the most influential players in operational technology, underlined by its $1.54 billion annual recurring revenue, 14 trillion data points processed, 120 billion API (Application Programming Interface) calls, and a growing ecosystem of 300 partners. The company’s products have had measurable, real-world impact: Home Depot cut auto liability claims by 65%, Sterling Crane saved $2.5 million in maintenance, Estes reduced fuel costs by $3 million, and ARTERA unlocked $10 million from underutilized assets.

Against this backdrop, Samsara introduced a series of innovations designed to make physical operations smarter, safer, and more connected.
