SEMA Named FIA Innovation Challenge Champion

DIAMOND BAR, CA (09.08.26) – The Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA), the global governing body for motor sport and the federation for mobility organizations worldwide, has announced the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Champions of the FIA Innovation Challenge 2026.

Announced at the FIA American Congress in Buenos Aires, Argentina, SEMA received the award for its Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) research initiative, helping the automotive industry better understand how vehicle modifications interact with modern safety technologies.

As ADAS technologies become standard in modern vehicles, uncertainty remains around how aftermarket modifications, repairs, and recalibration procedures can affect the performance of critical safety systems. SEMA’s initiative addresses this challenge through independent, evidence-based research, testing, and industry collaboration.

The program combines controlled laboratory testing, real-world validation, and policy engagement to generate objective data that supports manufacturers, regulators, repair businesses, and vehicle owners.

Through this work, SEMA is helping ensure that life-saving safety technologies continue to function as intended while supporting responsible innovation across the automotive aftermarket.

  • H.E. Mohammed Ben Sulayem, President of the FIA said: “Congratulations to SEMA CEO Mike Spagnola and the Specialty Equipment Market Association on being named a Region III Champion in this year’s FIA Innovation Challenge.

“SEMA’s ADAS research initiative demonstrates how Member Clubs and organizations can play an important role in helping industry and policymakers understand emerging technologies, ensuring innovation continues to advance alongside road safety.”

  • Tim Shearman, Deputy President for Automobile Mobility and Tourism said: “When meeting current and future mobility challenges, our Member Clubs are our greatest assets, enabling us to support road users with genuine local understanding.

“SEMA is demonstrating how independent research and industry collaboration can provide the evidence, knowledge, and confidence needed to support innovation while maintaining high standards of safety for road users.”

  • Frank Fotia, FIA Region III President said: “As vehicle technologies become more sophisticated, it is essential that industry, regulators, and consumers have access to clear and reliable information to support informed decision-making.

“Through its ADAS research initiative, SEMA is helping build that understanding, creating practical pathways that support safety, encourage innovation and benefit the wider mobility ecosystem.”

  • Mike Spagnola, CEO of SEMA said: “As advanced driver assistance systems become standard across the vehicle fleet, the automotive industry faces a shared responsibility to ensure innovation and safety continue to move forward together.

“By providing independent, evidence-based insights, our research is helping close critical knowledge gaps for manufacturers, policymakers and vehicle owners as they continue to use and interact with these potentially lifesaving systems on the road.”

SEMA joins the Alberta Motor Association (AMA, Canada) and the Jamaica Automobile Association (JAA, Jamaica), which have also been named Region III Champions of the FIA Innovation Challenge 2026.

A global judging panel will now select one Global Winner from these three champions, who will receive their award at FIA General Assemblies week in Shanghai, China, in December.

Tires And Wheels Accelerate Momentum For 2026 SEMA Show

DIAMOND BAR, CA (09.03.26) – The 2026 SEMA Show is picking up speed, with strong exhibitor demand and continued growth across key categories, especially in tires, wheels, and related service technologies. For professionals focused on this critical segment of the automotive aftermarket, this year’s Show offers an expansive look at the latest innovations shaping performance, styling, and shop operations.

The SEMA Show’s dedicated Global Tires Expo and Wheels & Accessories sections, located in South Hall Lower of the Las Vegas Convention Center, will feature hundreds of exhibiting brands, making it a central hub for retailers, installers, distributors, and builders. Attendees will have access to a comprehensive range of products designed to meet the needs of today’s evolving vehicles and consumers.

The strength of the category is reflected in findings from the annual SEMA Market Report, which shows that the U.S. wheels and tires aftermarket is a $6.8 billion market. The report also found that the broader wheels, tires, and suspension category totals $12.6 billion, making it one of the largest segments in the automotive specialty-equipment industry.

As vehicle platforms diversify and consumer expectations rise, the tire and wheel category continues to see rapid innovation.

Their continued presence reinforces the Show’s role as a long-standing gathering place for both heritage brands and emerging innovators.

“Tires and wheels are foundational to vehicle performance, safety, and customization, and they continue to evolve at a rapid pace,” said SEMA Vice President of Events Tom Gattuso. “From advanced tire compounds and all-terrain designs to cutting-edge wheel styling and shop technologies, the tires and wheels sections showcase the full scope of innovation. The combination of legacy brands and forward-looking companies highlights the strength and future of this segment.”

Overall, exhibitor commitments for the 2026 SEMA Show have already surpassed 1 million net square feet, with more than 2,000 brands preparing to connect with a global audience Nov. 3-6 in Las Vegas.
