Our history:

Aptiv traces its roots to Delphi, which originated from General Motors' spin-off in 1995 of its Automotive Components Group. In December 2017, Delphi completed the spin-off of its former Powertrain Systems segment into a new publicly-traded company, Delphi Technologies (NYSE: DLPH). The remaining businesses - re-named Aptiv (NYSE: APTV) - focused on addressing the future needs of the auto industry through improved safety, electrification, and new mobility solutions. We are now uniquely positioned as the leading global technology company serving both the traditional automotive and new mobility markets.

Products include active safety and perception systems, in-cabin user experience systems, compute platforms for security, comfort and control functions, as well as on-and-off-vehicle data management and communication solutions. The segment will also work closely with Aptiv's automated driving joint venture with Hyundai.
