Tenneco Experience product, technology to make debut at AAPEX

Tenneco will introduce its “Tenneco Experience” mobile product and technology exhibit to the vast audience of automotive parts and service professionals who attend next week’s Automotive Aftermarket Products Expo (AAPEX) in Las Vegas. The custom-designed, 53-foot trailer features an array of hands-on exhibits covering Tenneco’s leading Clean Air and Ride Performance OE technologies for global vehicle manufacturers, as well as a full complement of the latest Monroe® ride control and Walker® emissions control products for the North American aftermarket.

The trailer can be seen in the company’s AAPEX booth (1025) on the main floor of the Sands Expo Center. “The key to success in the aftermarket is being able to provide OE-style solutions developed through extensive insight to the operating demands of each new generation of vehicles,” said Jeff Koviak, vice president and general manager, North America Aftermarket, Tenneco. “The ‘Tenneco Experience’ demonstrates the extraordinary value of our OE expertise in both the Clean Air and Ride Performance categories. Many of our latest OE solutions will ultimately appear in automotive service bays as those vehicles enter the aftermarket replacement cycle.” Tenneco is a global leader in the development of OE Clear Air products and systems for passenger vehicles, light trucks, commercial trucks, off-highway equipment and other applications. Among the OE technologies on display in the “Tenneco Experience” trailer are complete emissions control systems for automotive gasoline and diesel engines. Highlighted within these systems are Tenneco’s manifold-mounted catalytic converters; air gap pipe; XNOx™ Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system; three-way catalyst; diesel particulate filter; and electronically controlled valves, which support low pressure exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) for diesel engines and acoustic tuning for gasoline engines.

Also featured in the trailer are several Walker emissions control products for the aftermarket, including a complete replacement exhaust system; CalCat® CARB-certified manifold converter; Ultra® EPA-certified direct-fit converter; and Quiet-Flow® SS stainless steel direct-fit muffler assembly.

On the Ride Performance side, global vehicle manufacturers look to Tenneco to provide advanced suspension technologies that deliver performance, comfort and the power to differentiate their vehicles. OE Ride Performance technologies that can be seen in the trailer include Tenneco’s Monroe® Intelligent Suspension portfolio, which comprises adaptive, semi-active and active suspension solutions and serves all vehicle segments.

Monroe ride control products for the aftermarket – including premium Monroe Quick-Strut® strut assemblies and OESpectrum® and Reflex® shocks and struts – are also highlighted. Tenneco representatives will be on hand to provide information about each of the exhibits.

In addition to the AAPEX show, the “Tenneco Experience” trailer in the coming months will visit several of the company’s North American OE and aftermarket customers and participate in a variety of leading industry events.
