Powering Performance

Washington, D.C. – Today, the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) that would prohibit the sale or import of connected vehicles integrating specific pieces of hardware and software, or those components sold separately, with a sufficient nexus to the People’s Republic of China (PRC) or Russia.    

The automotive industry is at a pivotal moment. With increasing regulatory demands and a stronger focus on sustainability, companies must ensure they are ahead of the curve in areas such as product compliance, material data management, and carbon footprint reduction. To address these critical challenges, AIAG is proud to host the Hybrid IMDS, Product Compliance & Sustainability Conference from October 15–16, 2024 at Laurel Manor in Livonia, Michigan.
