❯❯ Discover Highlights from
HDAW & ADS 2025

This year, as in previous years, we had the privilege of attending both the Heavy Duty Aftermarket Week (HDAW) 2025 and the Association for Diesel Specialists (ADS) Convention. These events provide a valuable opportunity to stay ahead of industry trends, hear from experts, and expand our network in the heavy-duty and diesel sectors.

HDAW continues to be one of North America’s largest conventions for the heavy-duty aftermarket industry, and this year did not disappoint. The show floor was bustling with top distributors, suppliers, and service providers, all eager to showcase the latest products and technologies aimed at improving performance and reliability in the heavy-duty vehicle market.

Both conventions offer unique opportunities to gain knowledge, stay informed, and keep up with the constant changes in the industry. The combination of large-scale events like HDAW and specialized conferences like ADS creates the perfect blend of general industry trends and in-depth technical insights.

Mike Rayne speaching in HDAW and ADS 2025

During the first day of ADS, we had the privilege of attending multiple presentations from inspiring keynote speakers, each offering valuable insights into technology trends and market updates. A standout moment for us was the presentation by Mike Rayne, a member of the board, on the topic of “Global Powertrain Trends.” Mike’s session provided a thorough look at what’s happening on a global scale, with a special emphasis on the evolving powertrain landscape in North America.

Mike also shared exciting updates about Lucas Diesel Systems’ newest repair and remanufacturing options now available, further enhancing our understanding of how businesses can adapt to and capitalize on changing market demands. His insights were not only forward-thinking but also incredibly practical for anyone in the diesel repair and service industry looking to stay ahead of the curve.

This year, we had the pleasure of welcoming both familiar faces and new connections at our booth (#1135) during the HDAW Expo. It was a fantastic opportunity to meet and greet a wide range of industry professionals and share what’s new at Lucas Diesel Systems.

At our booth, we exhibited a selection of our new product lines, including:

  • Reman Injectors for light, medium, and heavy-duty applications
  • Turbos
  • Components for all-brands all-makes

We were excited to showcase these products, which we believe are key to meeting the evolving needs of the industry. Our team had great conversations with visitors, and we hope that everyone who stopped by left with a positive impression of the solutions we offer. We’re thrilled about the new opportunities that lie ahead and look forward to the ongoing relationships built during this year’s event.

On Tuesday night, we hosted a special reception to mark the official launch of our new product lines and catalogs, including our Reman Injectors for Light, Medium, and Heavy Duty applications. The evening was filled with excitement as we had the pleasure of connecting with many of our long-time customers and friends, as well as meeting new potential customers and partners.

The reception gave us an excellent opportunity to introduce our new products in a more personal setting, and we truly hope everyone who attended enjoyed the event as much as we did. It was great to see the positive reactions and interest in our new offerings. We’re already looking forward to making this reception a tradition for future conventions!

On Wednesday night, the Lucas Diesel Systems team had the chance to attend the Heavy Hitter Reception at the Globe Life Field, closing the show in style. It was the perfect way to wrap up the week of networking, learning, and collaboration, while enjoying a great time with colleagues, customers, and new connections. We’re grateful for the opportunity to attend such an exciting event and end the convention on a high note.

Looking Ahead to 2026

The date for next year’s event is already set, and we are beyond excited to return! We look forward to continuing to build on the relationships we’ve made, showcasing even more exciting new products, and being part of the industry’s growth and innovation. Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth, joined us at the reception, or had a conversation with us. We truly value your time, support, and the connections made throughout the week. See you again next year!
