Lucas Ignition

Lucas has been at the heart of ignition technology for more than 100 years. The story began in the early 1900s with pioneering magneto systems that powered some of the world’s first motor vehicles. As automotive engineering advanced, Lucas led the shift to coil ignition. Lucas distributors and oil-filled ignition coils set the new standards for reliability and performance.

By the 1960s, Lucas was again at the forefront of innovation, introducing early transistorised ignition systems that improved spark control and durability. Technology that was so advanced it was adopted in the high-performance world of Formula One.

The company’s RITA electronic ignition system became a benchmark for motorcycles, while its sophisticated 14CUX electronic engine management system for Rover V8 engines demonstrated a deep expertise in integrating electronics with combustion control.

Today, this rich history of engineering excellence lives on in every Lucas ignition product. From modern spark plugs to dependable glow plugs, Lucas continues to deliver the trusted ignition performance that generations of drivers and technicians have relied on.
