Read MoreHide Full Article
Lithia Motors, Inc. (LAD - Free Report) has inked a strategic partnership with San Francisco-based e-commerce retailer, Shift. The underlying idea is to capture majority of used vehicles — above 40 million to be specific — sold in the United States per year and use more technology for simplifying the car buying and ownership experience. Such an alliance will allow both companies to collaborate with respect to technology, inventory, data, business and physical network.
Notably, Shift is the largest used car retailer in San Francisco and operates all over California. The company is anticipated to sell around 8,000 vehicles during 2018. While leading automotive retailer Lithia Motors deals in new and used vehicles plus related services in the United States. Shift’s dynamic operational capabilities and technology platform are likely to well complement Lithia Motors’ culture of creating a digital marketplace as well as its timely provision of a decent retail experience to its customers.
Additionally, Lithia Motors will be the frontrunner in Shift’s Series D fundraising round. The former will invest $54 million to become the latter’s largest shareholder.

Best Electric Car Stock? You'll Never Guess It.
Zacks Research has released a report that may shock many investors. One stock stands out as the best way to invest in the surge to electric cars. And it's not the one you may think!
Much like petroleum 150 years ago, lithium battery power is set to shake the world, creating millionaires and reshaping geo-politics. Soon electric vehicles (EVs) may be cheaper than gas guzzlers. Some are already reaching 265 miles on a single charge. With battery prices plummeting and charging stations set to multiply, revenues that were already at $31 billion in 2016 are expected to blast to over $67 billion by the end of 2022.
