The SEMA Data Co-op is offering free data management consultations during the 2016 SEMA Show.

The SEMA Data Co-op (SDC) team will be out in full force during Show week to offer free data-management consultations in booth #20579.

“We have a really strong team attending this year, including data lab staff who will be providing on-site data reviews for members,” said Jon Wyly, SDC CEO. “It's a great opportunity to get some face-to-face time with the SDC, including deep technical dives with our industry-leading data experts who will be in attendance. If you have questions about the industry ACES and PIES standards, need more information about how to join or just want to get a good solid introduction to our services, we have the people available to make it happen.”

The SDC is scheduling meetings every hour from 9:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. all four days of the Show (until Friday at 4:00 p.m.). The SDC booth is located behind the Ford display in Central Hall, in the raised meeting room #20579.

“The SEMA Data Co-op is the only industry-owned and -operated product-data repository, complete with state-of-the-art tools and expert assistance to get your data in order," said Jim Graven, director of membership. “We really enjoy the opportunity to meet with companies that have struggled with their data, or just don’t know where to start. And data receivers love our program, which provides unlimited data exports at no charge to SEMA members.”

This is the ’19 Toyota Supra, caught while testing in Germany.

Toyota is reintroducing its Supra sports car through a collaboration with BMW and its Z4 roadster replacement, the Z5. While the two companies are expected to share the front-engine rear-drive underpinnings, Toyota is likely to use a hybrid-electric powertrain for its sports car.

The Supra’s looks should be derived from the FT-1 concept shown in 2014. Expect it to be a coupe only, while BMW will most likely offer a roadster variant.

Expected to be built in Austria by Magna Steyr, the Supra should appear sometime in 2018.

The 2016 SEMA Market Report showed that the light-truck niche posted a fifth consecutive year of growth and pickups represented just over a quarter of specialty-equipment sales for passenger vehicles in 2015. The new SEMA Pickup Report goes into more detail on this vehicle segment, offering insight into what these consumers buy, where they shop and how to connect with them.

Did you know:

• There are more than 51 million pickups on the road in the United States?
• 40% of pickup owners modify or accessorize their vehicle?
• 75% of pickup accessorizers search for parts online?

The SEMA Pickup Report is free for SEMA members. 

Fueled by 2.5 million new pickup sales last year, there are now more than 51 million pickups on the road in the United States. SEMA’s new benefit, Vehicles In Operation (VIO) counts, can help explain how much of this vast market represents opportunity for your business. Learn more about the SEMA Member VIO program.

Be on the lookout for SEMA’s report on the U.S. Racing Market, coming out October 15. This report will provide SEMA’s first-ever look at the racing status in the United States and the opportunities SEMA members can find there. Members can view all of SEMA’s research reports at www.sema.org/research.
