RANCHO DOMINGUEZ, Calif. – EVOX Images, a provider of automotive stock photography, 360-degree automotive imaging, and global build-to-order automotive content solutions, today announced that its free VR app RelayCars has reached more than one million downloads.

“Reaching this milestone is a celebratory event for us and also shows that VR is becoming an important component for the future of car shopping,” said David Falstrup, CEO of EVOX Images. “Consumer needs are driving technological advancements in every aspect of our lives. We’re showing consumers a new way to research vehicles without ever leaving the comfort of their couch.”
The VR app provides a truly immersive, automotive VR experience that lets users explore every make and model available since 2015 — from trucks, cars, and SUVs to exotics and muscle cars — in six different virtual showrooms.
EVOX utilizes its industry-leading 360-degree imaging — which it supplies to more than 20,000 dealer websites and the top automotive websites — to power its new virtual reality technology.
Within the past year, the EVOX VR team has extended technology offerings with the introduction of showrooms, virtual cinema, vehicle configurator capability, VR product clinics, and more.
The franchisees’ state-level actions follow a California auto dealers trade group lawsuit against the VW affiliate last year, both efforts to stop the EV maker’s plan to sell direct to consumers.
First-quarter auto sales increased as more consumers took advantage of government incentives. Hybrid deliveries are leading the way on the electrifieds boom.
At nearly 14%, California had the lowest zero-emission vehicle market share in the first quarter since the fourth quarter of 2021, according to the California New Car Dealers Association.
EREVs, also known as ‘series hybrids,’ may catch on in the U.S., where they currently have barely a toehold, as automakers tilt away from some purely electric models and consumers crave more range.
Building on a previously announced $26 billion U.S. investment, Hyundai said it will grow its North American lineup and U.S.-based production and parts sourcing.
Sony-Honda venture cancels two planned models, the first of which had been pegged for a mid-2026 California delivery debut. The brand’s direct sales had been challenged by the state’s auto dealers, but the venture cites Honda’s EV retreat.
Softening prices, rising credit availability and higher tax refunds could be behind February’s sales pace rise and accompanying dip in inventory, according to Cox Automotive.
