Tenneco Automotive has launched its elastomer business in Europe. The company will locally produce torque rods, links and suspension bushings for commercial vehicle customers which include Land Rover, Case New Holland, and Van Hool.


In a statement, Tenneco said it would build on its success in the North American commercial vehicle market to expand its elastomer engineering and manufacturing operations in Europe. Elastomer production is based at its manufacturing facility in Ermua, Spain.


In addition to torque rods, Tenneco’s range of custom-engineered elastomer products include bushings, links and mounts, which are developed and marketed under the Clevite Elastomer brand.
