Tenneco has set a sales target of Y100 million (US$840,000) for this year, but is aiming for three to four times that amount by 2004.


Tenneco had been shipping parts from its Belgian subsidiary to the Russian Far East with a two-week timescale. From Yokohama, however, parts can be delivered in seven to 10 days, decreasing shipping costs.
