TERREPOWER to Showcase Aftermarket Innovations in Sustainable Manufacturing at AAPEX 2025

DAPHNE, Ala., Oct. 27, 2025 /CNW/ -- TERREPOWER, formerly BBB Industries, a global pure-play aftermarket leader in sustainable manufacturing, today announced it will exhibit at the Automotive Aftermarket Products Expo (AAPEX) 2025 from November 4-6 at the Venetian Expo in Las Vegas. The company will spotlight its latest breakthroughs in electrification, intelligent diagnostics and circular manufacturing, including the launch of the S.T.A.R.T. (Symptom Troubleshooting and Resolution Tool) for turbochargers, plug-and-play EV battery packs, hybrid generators, and electric power steering innovations showcasing how technology and sustainability intersect to drive performance, efficiency and reliability across today's evolving vehicle platforms.

"The automotive landscape is evolving at an unprecedented pace, and TERREPOWER is committed to leading the charge in the automotive aftermarket, as we have for more than 35 years," said Duncan Gillis, CEO of TERREPOWER. "At AAPEX 2025, we're eager to demonstrate how our continued investment in technology from hybrid and electric vehicle components to advanced technician support tools empowers our customers to service vehicles efficiently and effectively. Our expanded portfolio reflects our dedication to providing reliable and sustainable solutions at scale with components that meet or exceed OE standards."

TERREPOWER's AAPEX 2025 exhibit will feature interactive product demonstrations, opportunities to engage with product experts, technician enablement tools and solutions engineered for hybrid, electric and internal combustion vehicles. The company's growing portfolio underscores its commitment to delivering high-quality, sustainably manufactured and new components that meet or exceed OE standards.

"At a time when global tariffs are driving up the cost of new imported parts, TERREPOWER's sustainable manufacturing process offers a critical advantage to the automotive aftermarket," said John Boyer, president of TERREPOWER's Undercar Strategic Business Unit. "We provide high-quality parts that are largely insulated from these price hikes, resulting in more affordable repairs that keep consumer costs down. By keeping pace with the latest OE technologies, such as the industry's shift from hydraulic to electric steering, and leveraging our unique OE heritage, we deliver reliable, cost-effective solutions that can ultimately keep vehicles on the road longer."

Visitors to TERREPOWER's AAPEX booth (#A4861 in the Sustainable Manufacturing - Remanufacturing section) will learn about new advancements in these areas:

• Turbochargers: Headlining TERREPOWER's exhibit is the debut of S.T.A.R.T. -- the Symptom Troubleshooting and Resolution Tool, an industry-first digital diagnostic resource designed to simplify and accelerate turbocharger troubleshooting. In an aftermarket where more than 65% of turbochargers returned are "no fault found," S.T.A.R.T. addresses one of the most persistent challenges faced by technicians, counter personnel and vehicle owners: misdiagnosis. This intuitive, interactive tool guides users through a step-by-step process to identify the root cause of turbo issues before replacement occurs. Users select the turbo type, describe observed symptoms such as "black smoke" or "oil leak," or enter diagnostic codes (OBD or SPN–FMI) to receive a prioritized list of likely causes and recommended fixes. If no direct match is found, the tool connects users instantly to TechEyeQ, TERREPOWER's remote visual support platform for live troubleshooting assistance. S.T.A.R.T. was created directly from real-world feedback gathered over more than a decade of customer interactions. When paired with the Turbocharger Toolkit, which provides step-by-step installation guidance and best practices, S.T.A.R.T. delivers an end-to-end support ecosystem that reduces unnecessary returns, shortens diagnostic time and restores confidence across the service chain.   
  
  
• EV Batteries: Showcasing a full-lifecycle, OE-grade approach to electrified vehicle service, TERREPOWER delivers plug-and-play replacement battery packs engineered to serve as a trusted out-of-warranty solution for professional installers while also supporting OEM and OE-supplier programs. The company supports the entire EV-battery ecosystem from OE-level validation and installation-ready battery packs to second-life repurposing and end-of-life recycling management, offering a sustainable path that keeps vehicles on the road longer and reduces total lifecycle costs. Built on a foundation of sustainable manufacturing and component reuse, TERREPOWER's model enables installers, OEMs and OE suppliers to extend battery life, reduce waste and confidently service EV platforms with proven, validated technology.
  
  
• Alternators & Starters: TERREPOWER's advanced generator products for hybrid vehicles showcase the company's ability to meet the demands of evolving electrified platforms and continuous product improvements, which enhance reliability and performance for both new and sustainably manufactured units.
  
  
• Steering: Presenting TERREPOWER's complete hydraulic and electric steering solutions including the REMY Smart EPS with Plug-In-Programmer, which now enables technicians to install the paired EPS rack and pinion without the need for OEM programming; decreasing service time and reducing cost and complexity of the repair--another technological advancement from REMY to solve one of the major challenges impacting EPS installs.
  
  
• Braking: Highlighting enhanced E-coating corrosion protection and precision-engineered calipers optimized for electric and hybrid platforms. With the company's investments in late model coverage, TERREPOWER is now leading the market with out-of-warranty coverage. Over 94% of TERREPOWER's complete braking portfolio is designed for reliability, quiet performance and longer service life, offering advanced coverage for both passenger and commercial applications. 
  
  
• Lights: Engineered for precision, fit and long-lasting performance, the company's lighting solutions offer comprehensive coverage for collision shops. Designed to meet safety and quality standards, TERREPOWER provides a trusted, collision-ready alternative to OEM service with clarity, durability and reliable availability. 
  
  
• Wheels: Built for strength and fit, TERREPOWER wheels meet OE standards for durability and consistent performance. With broad application coverage and fast replacement options, the company supports collision repairers and fleets in reducing downtime while offering a dependable, safety-backed alternative. 

In addition to the products TERREPOWER will feature at AAPEX, the company's ingenuity will be on display for the sustainability of the booth itself. Shifting away from new construction, TERREPOWER partnered with Highway 85 Creative to champion a circular economy approach. This innovative strategy centered on designing a booth with repurposed, recycled and recyclable materials and sourcing pre-owned booth structures that extend the lifecycle of existing materials.

"Applying our approach to sustainability to our booth ensures its various components can be repurposed, reflecting the circular economy principles that drive TERREPOWER's sustainable manufacturing process," said Mark Nugent, chief sustainability officer at TERREPOWER. "The most impactful result of our collaboration with Highway 85 Creative is a booth that reduces material waste while actively avoiding carbon emissions, proving that resource conservation can be integrated into trade shows to maximize positive impact."
