HANOVER, Germany -- (Business Wire)
Tenneco Inc. (NYSE:TEN) today announced the opening of a new Clean Air
research, development and manufacturing facility in China. The new
wholly-owned facility, based in Kunshan near Shanghai, will design,
develop and manufacture emission control products and technologies for
Tenneco’s growing commercial truck business in China.
The Kunshan facility will also serve the company’s commercial truck and
off-highway equipment business throughout the Asia Pacific region, and
will be Tenneco’s center for designing and developing large engine
solutions for Asia marine, locomotive and stationary applications.
The Kunshan facility sets a new standard in the region for emission
control engineering centers with leading-edge engineering, testing and
prototyping capabilities, as well as advanced mechatronics and systems
integration laboratories. The facility’s capabilities include robust
system design and analysis, modeling, controls simulation, acoustic
analysis and predictive tools development including CFD simulation,
engine application development for locomotive, marine and stationary
engines, and hardware and testing capabilities including two marine
engine dynamometers.
“I am extremely proud of our newest research and development center to
serve this growing market with state-of-the-art engineering capabilities
and a focus on developing China specific solutions,” said Gregg
Sherrill, chairman and CEO, Tenneco. “Our engineering know-how, global
regulatory expertise, and capabilities in systems integration are
driving Tenneco’s success in serving our customers with innovative,
cost-effective aftertreatment solutions.”
The 10,200-square meter facility, located 60km from Shanghai, currently
has 150 employees including 120 engineering and testing personnel. Once
fully operational, the facility is expected to employ about 400 people.
Kunshan is also the manufacturing location for Tenneco’s XNOx™ Selective
Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technology for commercial vehicle applications
in China and the Asia Pacific region. XNOx™ Air Assisted Selective
Catalytic Reduction (SCR) is a system developed for the China market,
featuring a compact and integrated tank, controller and pump assembly.
The design is readily adapted to the existing muffler box space to lower
costs and facilitate vehicle integration. It is compliant with Euro V
and China National Stage V regulations and provides an economical
alternative to airless SCR.
Tenneco is a leading supplier to the global commercial truck and
off-highway markets with a full suite of aftertreatment solutions
tailored to any engine size or powertrain strategy, and designed to meet
increasingly stringent emission standards taking effect worldwide. In
China, Tenneco’s commercial engine and truck customers include Weichai,
FAW, China National Heavy Truck Company (CNHTC), Dalian Diesel, JND,
Shanghai Diesel Engine Co. and YuChai. The company also serves customers
in North America, Europe, Brazil, India, South Korea, and Japan.
