DENSO's newest products include heavy-duty and medium-duty starters and alternators for the heavy duty and commercial vehicle segments; its latest series of PowerEdge starters and alternators; more diesel particulate filters (DPFs) and diesel oxidation catalysts (DOCs) covering almost the entire Class 8 truck market; and new spark plugs and rubber boot kits for heavy-duty natural gas engines. These parts are among the comprehensive array of heavy-duty and medium-duty products on display at Booth 1209, DENSO's 1,000-square-foot exhibit prominently located near the entrance inside the main hall.

"We're excited to show the many ways we're making good on our commitment to meet the heavy-duty industry's demand for premium parts at competitive prices so their customers' vehicles and businesses can go the distance," said Gilbert Ramirez, manager of DENSO Heavy Duty Product Planning. "Our new products and part numbers build on DENSO's best-in-class quality, reliability, efficiency, durability, craftsmanship and value. In combination, these product lines also offer customers the advantage of sourcing from a single trusted family of products."

DENSO uses the latest technology and superior materials to deliver high-performance parts that meet and exceed the increased electrical demands and emissions control requirements of the heavy-duty industry. Featured products include the PowerEdge brand that targets the commercial and industrial heavy-duty market's need for exceptional quality at the most competitive prices.

DENSO products spotlighted at HDAW 2020 include:

  • DENSO heavy-duty and medium-duty starters and alternators: DENSO's First Time Fit starters and alternators provide wide coverage for Class 8 and medium-duty trucks, fleets, school buses, package-delivery vehicles, and construction, agricultural and industrial equipment.

  • PowerEdge diesel aftertreatment parts: DENSO now offers more DPF and DOC part numbers to keep heavy-duty and medium-duty trucks and buses running smoothly, efficiently and cleanly.
