Aptiv traces its roots to Delphi, which originated from General Motors' spin-off in 1995 of its Automotive Components Group. In December 2017, Delphi completed the spin-off of its former Powertrain Systems segment into a new publicly-traded company, Delphi Technologies (NYSE: DLPH). The remaining businesses - re-named Aptiv (NYSE: APTV) - focused on addressing the future needs of the auto industry through improved safety, electrification, and new mobility solutions.
