Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Original equipment manufacturer" in English language version.
In the automotive industry, OEM refers to the company that designs and manufactures the original components and systems used in vehicles during their initial assembly.
OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer. The OEM is the original producer of a vehicle's components, and so OEM car parts are identical to the parts used in producing a vehicle. Aftermarket parts are produced by other vendors and do not necessarily have a consistent level of quality or compatibility with the vehicle.
In the auto repair industry, OEM parts are those products used by a car manufacturer. Aftermarket parts are made by a third-party manufacturer but may be compatible with the same vehicles.
OEM parts are made by the car manufacturer, and aftermarket parts, which may cost less, are made by another company.
