The Tire Industry Association (TIA) will host a special Right to Repair/Electric Vehicle Forum on Oct. 30, the day before the opening of the Global Tire Expo (GTE)/Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Show.
The event will take place from 1:30 p.m. to 3 p.m. in Melrose 4 at Planet Hollywood Las Vegas Resort & Casino.
TIA is inviting key industry stakeholders - including tire dealers, manufacturers, suppliers and activists - to participate in the discussion.
“We recognize how important Right to Repair legislation is to the survival of the independent tire and automotive aftermarket,” says TIA CEO Dick Gust.
“We understand the challenges electric vehicles are creating for tire and vehicle service shops. What better way to address them than in Las Vegas and the GTE/SEMA Show, where industry leaders can delve into these topics, share thoughts and ideas and hopefully come up with some strategies in dealing with them,"
Anyone interested in participating in the forum should contact TIA Vice President of Government Affairs Roy Littlefield IV at [email protected] or (240) 544-1265 to reserve a spot. (TIA also will provide lunch prior to the forum for those who are interested.)
