It will supply components (including catalytic converters) that make up the ‘hot end’ of the exhaust system for the redesigned F-150 light-duty truck (introduced at this year’s Detroit show), Expedition, Lincoln Navigator and Ford Econoline vehicles.
Tenneco currently supplies the ‘cold end’ (mufflers and tailpipes) for the F-150, Expedition and Navigator and will now become a full-system supplier for those platforms.
It was also awarded additional emission control content on the petrol version of the F250/F350 Super-Duty in addition to what it already supplies on both the petrol and diesel versions of the vehicles that launched in 2006.
For the 2010 model year, Tenneco will supply emission control components for some of Ford’s mid and upper mid-size passenger vehicle lines.
Tenneco referred to this new business in its third quarter 2007 earnings release last October, but was unable then to name the customer.
Its Elkhart, Indiana; Seward, Nebraska; Cambridge, Ontario; Ligonier, Indiana; Marshall, Michigan, and Kansas City, Missouri facilities will be involved in manufacturing components or final assembly. When fully launched, the supplier estimates all these programmes together will represent approximately a 2.5% increase in its value-added revenues compared to its 2007 value-added sales.
Tenneco is a strategic supplier to Ford as a member of the company’s aligned business framework supplier group.
