On Wednesday, Cherokee Media Group revealed its latest Emerging 8.

They’re being recognized via an award program now in its sixth year that honors companies that improve a specific aspect of the automotive industry through technology.

Industry leaders believe these firms are on the cusp of automotive innovation and tech development. They’re all “on to something” that could turn the dial on their respective aspects of automotive.

This year’s honorees include:

Capture Dealer Services

Carsker

Exponential Markets

Fullpath

Modives

Plug

Trulli Audio

Vero Technologies

For more about the background and journeys of these companies, check out the current edition of Auto Fin Journal, which highlights this year’s recipients and takes a look back at the developments connected with some past honorees.

The Emerging 8 also will be honored during Cherokee Media Group’s Auto Intel Summit + National Remarketing Conference that runs April 23-25 in Cary, N.C.
