APTV

Aptiv Plc

A maker of the brains and wiring of modern cars, Aptiv designs sensors, compute platforms, and connection systems that power safety features and electric vehicles for the world's largest automakers. It began as a General Motors parts division in 1994, was spun off as Delphi in 1999, and took its current name in 2017 after splitting from its engine business. The name blends "apt" and "adaptive," and the company plans to spin off its electrical-distribution arm as a separate firm called Versigent by 2026.
