Armao -TLA's team captain and jungler - has had a career like few others - in the LCS and even the world. He's seen ups, downs, and undulations that would have knocked most players out of the game. But he's endured them all, working towards the dream of playing in the LCS with same vigor he's had since he was on a top TSM team, a wild Echo Fox roster, or even an unknown COG amateur team. Learn about his history and drive in this article.
The average age of light vehicles in operation in the U.S.
reached a record of 12.1 years earlier this year, as more than 279
million vehicles were recorded in the U.S. fleet, according to
research from IHS Markit, a world leader in critical information,
analytics and solutions. The increase in average age will further
drive vehicle maintenance opportunities from an increasingly aged
vehicle fleet, as the influence of new technology continues to
impact the repair community.
Decreased new vehicle sales due to COVID-19 and subsequent
inventory challenges due to the global microchip shortage, as well
as high scrappage rates in 2020, contributed to the average age
growth last year, though 2021 scrappage rates are normalizing
somewhat given increased used vehicle demand in 2021, and vehicles
in operation are climbing. Older vehicles in the fleet continue to
provide a robust business pipeline for aftermarket companies - from
parts manufacturers, distributors and retailers to service and
repair facilities - and dealerships are working to increase service
lane traffic while inventory levels are low.
According to IHS Markit research, average vehicle miles traveled
(VMT) for light vehicles in 2021 is expected to reach 12,355 miles
for passenger cars and light trucks, after a significant drop in
VMT during the pandemic in 2020. The return of miles traveled
toward normal volumes further underscores the robustness of the
opportunity for repair and maintenance.
IHS Markit will highlight these and other key industry trends
impacting the global automotive aftermarket and the expected role
new technology will play during two presentations next week at the
Automotive Aftermarket Products Expo (AAPEX) and SEMA Show in Las
Vegas.
"We look forward to reconnecting and sharing our latest insights

Campau, associate director, aftermarket solutions at IHS Markit. "Our aftermarket solutions help customers solve critical business
challenges, and provide a comprehensive analytical view of the
global market - in more than 100 countries around the world - as
the fleet continues to grow and evolve," he said. "The expertise
and insight we provide is critical to the industry as we move
forward in this new environment."
