Federal-Mogul Powertrain has opened a new systems protection manufacturing facility in Changshu, China, to support domestic customers in the automotive, high-speed rail and aviation sectors.
“Federal-Mogul Powertrain is committed to developing and providing solutions that help our customers improve fuel economy, reduce emissions and enhance vehicle performance,” said Federal-Mogul Powertrain systems protection SVP and general manager, Janice Maiden.

“China is an important operations base for Federal-Mogul. The new plant expands our manufacturing footprint in the region to serve local customers there.”
The new 7,000-square meter plant will provide additional production capacity for Federal-Mogul’s complete systems protection portfolio, including its Thermflex exhaust insulating sleeve.
Thermflex protective sleeves, made with a natural fibre, can effectively retain heat in exhaust pipes for emissions to be sufficiently decomposed.
In addition to passenger car applications, Thermflex is also used for domestic public transit vehicles, mainly for reducing particulate matter (PM) and carbon monoxide.
