SEMA’s editorial team is currently pulling releases for use in both SEMA News October and Show Daily.

It’s not too late to submit your new products to SEMA’s Exhibitor Press Release Library. With about 100 words of copy and a high-resolution image, you can upload a press release and gain critical exposure for your company. This is a no-cost opportunity that puts your company, your booth number, and your new product in front of thousands of potential buyers.

SEMA’s editorial team is currently pulling releases for use in both SEMA News October and Show Daily. If you want to be considered for publication, it’s time to finalize your text and select the best image of your new product.

According to the publishing department, multiple exhibitors have reached out hoping for a brief extension for the deadline to submit releases. The extension has been approved and is now August 10. Inevitably, there are exhibitors who still need time to finalize their copy, and to obtain a high-resolution image for their press release. While the products featured in SEMA’s Pre-Show publications will be chosen on a first-come, first-served basis, that doesn’t mean you can’t submit a release after August 10. In fact, exhibitors are asked to continue uploading new materials to the Press Release library up until the Show opens. For all media covering the SEMA Show, the Library is designed as a resource that offers visitors a preview of the 2015 SEMA Show

President Obama signed into law a bill to continue current federal highway spending through the end of October. It marks the 34th short-term extension since 2009. While Congress has traditionally passed six-year laws for investing in transportation projects, declining gas tax collections and divisions over how to raise revenues have resulted in the patchwork approach.

With yet another short-term solution in place, the U.S. Senate passed a transportation bill which may serve as a blueprint for the next showdown in October. The Senate bill has been referred to the U.S. House of Representatives, where it is expected to be considered in September.

The bill includes a provision requiring tire retailers not owned or controlled by a manufacturer to register tires at the point of sale.  Currently, the customer is responsible for voluntarily registering their tires. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) would also be required to establish an online tire recall database, enabling the general public to search for recalls using the Tire Identification Number (TIN).  

The bill also includes provisions tightening auto industry oversight by NHTSA, including:

• Establishing minimum tire performance standards for fuel efficiency and wet traction;

• Updates the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) standard to ensure that the TPMS setting can’t be overridden, reset, or recalibrated to an unsafe pressure;  

• Triples the maximum civil penalties for auto manufacturers that violate vehicle safety standards;

• Provides consumers with more information about advanced safety technologies such as blind spot detection, active braking and lane departure warning; and

• Clarifies that event data recorders data remains the property of the driver and specifies conditions under which it might be accessed by law enforcement.
