WAI Global is helping customers stay ahead of replacement demand with 131 new part numbers introduced in the first quarter of 2026, expanding coverage for more than 27 million vehicles in operation across North America.

The new part numbers span key product categories including rotating electrical and engine management, with coverage across a wide range of late-model domestic and import applications. These additions continue to strengthen WAI’s ability to deliver timely, in-demand solutions to the aftermarket.

“Our product development efforts remain focused on identifying opportunities that help our customers service the vehicles they see every day,” said Ron Bernstein, President, North America, WAI Global.

“By continuing to introduce new coverage aligned with current vehicle trends, we ensure our partners have access to dependable 100% NEW solutions that keep their businesses moving forward.”
