The first full parts catalog built natively into DoorDash Marketplace, with the exact part for your car delivered in under an hour*

ROYAL OAK, Mich., June 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The auto parts aisle just moved into the DoorDash app, and AutoParts.com is the company that made it happen. On June 24, 2026, AutoParts.com brought its catalog of hundreds of thousands of parts live on the DoorDash Marketplace. It is the first time a complete auto-parts catalog has been built natively into DoorDash.

“This marks a significant inflection point for the industry”, remarked CEO Richard Keller, “for years e-commerce customers would have to wait days or even weeks to receive a part. People simply can’t wait that long when their car is out of commission. Life doesn’t stop just because your car won’t start. This partnership aims to rapidly get parts in the hands of DIYers, so that they can get the job done and get back on the road faster. Customers need parts fast, and that is exactly what this partnership allows us to do” Keller continued.

AutoParts.com’s geo-located inventory system, and its massive catalog, puts them in a uniquely strong position to fulfill at the rapid pace that DoorDash customers expect. “We built this system not only to offer the typical e-commerce experience, but to be a true last mile solution,” said Keller. In addition to the platform’s last mile capabilities, AutoParts.com offers a catalog with millions of parts on its site.

Last mile inventory availability is the result of a key partnership between AutoParts.com and The Automotive Parts Services Group (The Group) a national network of thousands of auto parts retailers and distributors, many of which are locally owned and operated. “We want to bring the Mom and Pops back to main street and give them a chance to compete in the e-commerce space, a space that they were boxed out of due to the complex technological capabilities required” remarked Keller.

“We couldn’t be more excited,” said COO Simon Savaya. Savaya knows firsthand the challenges that local auto parts stores face as the owner of Holbrook Auto Parts, a chain of several automotive after-market stores in Detroit. “AutoParts.com has given Holbrook the opportunity to sell our parts to a broader consumer base, providing an exciting new growth opportunity that we look forward to extending to other local retailers across the country” Savaya continued.

“With our first of its kind tech stack and DoorDash’s unmatched fulfillment capabilities, we truly believe that our partnership will deliver value for auto parts consumers and retailers across the country” said Savaya. That value is likely to increase over time, with the automotive aftermarket industry expected to grow to over $660 billion in the next 2 years.** “We believe that we are in a good position to continue to capitalize on a growing industry and serve customers at a speed that was previously unheard of in the aftermarket e-commerce world” Savaya continued, “the best is yet to come for AutoParts.com”.

To celebrate the new partnership, new customers to AutoParts.com on DoorDash get 20% off on orders $60+ with code AUTOPARTS. Up to $20. Now – 6/30.***

DUVA Introduces DUVA ONE at IFA 2026: Personalized Sleep Earbuds That Respond in Real Time

The Sleep System That Understands You Best.

BERLIN, Sept. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — DUVA, created by Fitnexa, is introducing DUVA ONE at IFA Berlin 2026. This intelligent in-ear sleep system is designed to sense changes in the user and the bedroom, then personalize audio, noise control, and device behavior throughout the night.

Most sleep wearables explain what happened after users wake up. DUVA ONE is designed to help while the night is still happening. Its low-profile earbuds, environment-sensing charging case, and app work together to determine when and how to respond.

A user might start the night with a podcast over Bluetooth. After they fall asleep, DUVA ONE can introduce locally stored sleep audio and optimize power use. If a partner begins snoring or traffic grows louder, it can adjust ANC or add sound masking. In the morning, a private offline alarm wakes only the wearer, without requiring an active phone connection.

In-ear PPG and motion sensors estimate sleep stages and track heart rate, HRV, sleep position, and movement, while the case monitors noise, light, temperature, and humidity. The AI Agent interprets these signals alongside playback status and personal preferences to select an appropriate response. Users control sleep audio, playback duration, ANC strategy, and nighttime interventions in the DUVA App.

“Sleep does not happen in a static environment, so sleep technology should not remain static either,” said Diego, Founder of Fitnexa. “DUVA ONE is designed to respond while sleep is still happening.”

Key Highlights

Layered noise relief: Passive isolation, Hybrid ANC, and sleep audio provide noise reduction of up to 42 dB, with Transparency Mode and adaptive ANC calibration.Personalized AI sleep guidance: The AI analyzes the user’s real-time sleep state and generates personalized audio guidance to help them gradually fall asleep.Side-sleeping comfort: Each fitted earbud weighs approximately 3.3 grams and has an approximately 9.9 mm low-profile design. Two ear-tip shapes and multiple tip and stabilizing-wing sizes provide more than 40 fit configurations.All-night battery: Up to 16 hours in the most power-efficient configuration, including 13 hours of local audio with ANC off and 9.5 hours with ANC on. The USB-C and wireless charging case provides up to five additional recharges.Private offline alarm: Alarms gradually increase in volume and offer 5, 10, or 15-minute snooze options through the earbud controls.Privacy-first sensing: DUVA ONE does not record conversations, store ambient audio, or upload raw environmental audio. Users can disable individual sensors and delete historical data.

DUVA ONE is planned for release in October 2026 at a target retail price of US$349.99, with target markets including the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, the European Union, and Australia.
