Electric vehicle development requires automakers to coordinate multiple interdependent systems. They must manage high-voltage power, battery performance, thermal conditions, charging requirements and vehicle packaging while maintaining safety and production efficiency. Because these systems affect one another, integrating them effectively is essential to vehicle performance and reliability. For suppliers, the opportunity lies in developing technologies that work reliably across different vehicle architectures and production volumes. Visteon Corporation addresses this challenge through a portfolio that combines battery management, power conversion and power connection technologies designed to support electric vehicle engineering. Visteon's broader automotive electronics portfolio spans digital cockpit systems, displays, infotainment and electrification technologies. Its electrification solutions bring together electronic control capabilities and power electronics to address the changing requirements of electric vehicle architectures. Engineering the Power System Visteon's electrification portfolio addresses key engineering needs through three principal areas: electronic control solutions, power conversion solutions and power connection solutions. Together, these technologies support the monitoring, conditioning and distribution of electrical energy within an electric vehicle.

In the fast-paced world of automotive retail, efficiency, automation, and data accuracy can make or break a deal. Yet many Dealer Management Systems (DMS) fall short, especially when it comes to integrating compliance without slowing things down. ASN Software was founded on a simple belief: technology should help dealers move faster, not hold them back. For more than two decades, ASN has provided end-to-end DMS solutions tailored for independent and franchise dealerships, finance companies, service centers, and floorplan lenders. Their integrated ecosystem reduces redundancy, eliminates data silos, and empowers users to make smarter, faster decisions. “Dealers operate in a high-pressure environment,” says Alex Azary, COO. “That’s why ASN builds compliance into the workflow—without breaking momentum. From taxes and disclosures to Red Flag and OFAC checks, it all runs in the background while your team stays focused on sales.” Beyond Compliance: Automation Across the Dealership ASN’s flagship platform, AutoDealer Plus®, offers more than regulatory peace of mind. It’s a full-featured system built for modern retail and service operations, combining CRM, e-contracting, VIN scanning, service shop management, and accounting in one powerful interface. Approved for certified OEM reporting with Hyundai, Mitsubishi, Kia, Nissan, and Infiniti, AutoDealer Plus supports both franchise and independent dealers. It also features: • A robust service shop module with parts ordering, labor tracking, and RO management • A built-in menu selling system with real-time interfaces to trusted F&I product providers • Secure digital document storage through ASN DocManagement, enabling 100 percent paperless deal jackets, eSignatures, and audit-ready access

CARDIO's platform allows dealerships to offer maintenance subscriptions that feel less like an additional purchase and more like a membership. Customers can access their plans through a mobile app, view benefits, track service progress, and receive reminders about upcoming maintenance needs. The goal is to make vehicle ownership easier while helping dealerships maintain customer relationships and encourage repeat business. Unlike traditional maintenance programs that often focus only on scheduled services, CARDIO allows dealerships to create customized plans around their customers and service strategies. Patti Tremonti, CEO and Co-Founder of CARDIO Auto, explains that the platform was created as more than a maintenance tool. “CARDIO was built to make sure that the retention is coming back to their store,” she says, highlighting the company's focus on helping dealerships retain their own customers rather than directing them elsewhere.

Advancing Automotive Innovation through Electrification and Intelligent Mobility
Our cover story features Visteon Corporation [NASDAQ: VC], recognized as the Top Vehicle Electrification Solutions 2026. The company’s portfolio covers battery management systems, power conversion and high-voltage power distribution, addressing some of the toughest engineering requirements of electric mobility. Its bidirectional onboard charging technology, support for 400V and 800V architectures, and wireless battery management solutions are central to this work.
CARDIO Auto, named the Top Vehicle Maintenance Subscription Platform 2026, approaches automotive innovation from the customer service side. Its subscription platform allows dealerships to create personalized maintenance memberships, track service activity digitally and stay connected with customers. Rather than waiting for the next workshop visit, dealerships can monitor membership activity and maintain regular contact. For CarDio, the goal is to make vehicle maintenance an ongoing relationship, moving beyond the traditional one-visit-at-a-time model.
This issue also brings unique perspectives from various CXOs. Qiyan Wang, VP of Engineering, and Yueqiang Cheng, Director, Security Research, at NIO, discuss why cybersecurity must be considered across connected vehicles, charging infrastructure, software updates and data privacy. Security, they emphasize, needs to be built into vehicle systems from the outset. Meanwhile, Elena Ford, Chief Customer Experience Officer at Ford Motor Company, shares how a customer-first approach, supported by modernized call center operations and centralized technology, is helping create more seamless, personalized ownership experiences across the customer journey.
The stories point to a broader shift in the automotive industry. Electrification remains a major focus, but its success increasingly depends on how well manufacturers handle system integration, customer relationships, cybersecurity and simulation-based testing as vehicles become more connected and software-driven.
