MEMA Aftermarket Suppliers and MacKay & Company will hold a timely policy-focused session on global trade and tariffs at Heavy Duty Aftermarket Dialogue (HDAD) 2026, featuring Bill Frymoyer, vice president of public policy at MEMA. 

The session will take place Monday, Jan. 19, 2026, at the Gaylord Texan Resort & Convention Center in Grapevine, Texas, just ahead of Heavy Duty Aftermarket Week (HDAW). 

As global trade policy continues to reshape the commercial vehicle aftermarket, Frymoyer will provide attendees with a real-time update on the latest trade and tariff developments directly impacting suppliers today. 

Frymoyer leads the trade and tax work on MEMA’s government affairs team. He has been on the front lines of the 2025 tariff policy shifts — working with MEMA members to engage directly with the Trump Administration and the U.S. Congress on these issues as they affect the commercial vehicle supply chain.

During this session, organizers say Frymoyer will cover:  

  • The latest trade and tariff actions impacting the CV industry as well as what to expect in 2026
  • Updates on MEMA’s planned 2026 USMCA engagement and advocacy efforts
  • Impacts of the implementation of the One, Big Beautiful Tax Bill on MEMA CV members
  • How policy shifts on all of the above could influence cost, sourcing and competitiveness 

Organizers note the session is designed for aftermarket and commercial vehicle supplier leaders seeking clarity and foresight amid continued global trade uncertainty. 

HD Aftermarket Dialogue 2026 will convene leaders from across the heavy-duty aftermarket for a full day of market intelligence, policy insight and strategic discussions shaping planning and investment decisions for the year ahead.
