"We are pleased to partner with Daimler Trucks to support the important launch of their global engine platform for medium-duty trucks," said Tenenco CEO Brian Kesseler.
"This platform demonstrates [our] 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 CO2 emissions."
The aftertreatment system was designed and engineered at the supplier's technical centre 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 for many light vehicle platforms worldwide in addition to commercial truck products.
