Tenneco to supply diesel systems for Daimler truck engines

Tenneco Inc. based in Lake Forest said it will supply an engine platform for Daimler truck engines.

The company, which produces clean air and ride performance products, said its new aftertreatment systems are for new Detroit DD5 and DD8 medium-duty engines.

Tenneco will supply the full aftertreatment system, which includes the selective catalytic reduction system featuring the company's proprietary mixing technology, as well as muffler and pipes. The system will be available in multiple understep, side-by-side and horizontal variations designed to accommodate the Daimler Trucks product portfolio, which includes Mercedes-Benz trucks and buses, Setra, Freightliner, Freightliner Custom Chassis, BharatBenz, FUSO and Thomas Built Buses.

The four and six cylinder engines were developed to meet and exceed the rigorous demands of different global markets while complying with current and future emissions regulations.

This platform demonstrates Tenneco's commitment to provide commercial truck customers with our most advanced aftertreatment solutions that meet the needs of the evolving global regulatory landscape, while enabling greater fuel economy and reduced CO 2 emissions," said Tenneco CEO Brian Kesseler.

The aftertreatment system was designed and engineered at Tenneco's technical center in Edenkoben, Germany, and will be manufactured and assembled at the company's Clean Air facility in Seward, Nebraska. Tenneco is a global supplier to Daimler, providing both ride performance and clean air technologies on many light vehicle platforms globally in addition to commercial truck solutions.
