Tenneco Automotive Recognized for Emission Control Technologies
Company Receives Two 2004 PACE(TM) Honorable Mention Awards
LAKE FOREST, Ill., Oct. 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Tenneco Automotive
announced today that the company has received Honorable Mention Automotive News
PACE Awards for its Exhaust Isolators and Tunable Muffler Shell technologies.
The 2004 Automotive News PACE Awards are jointly presented by Automotive News,
Cap Gemini Ernst & Young and the Transportation Research Center Inc. The annual
awards recognize creativity, excellence and innovation in the automotive supply
industry.
"We are pleased that our technology focus is rewarded with recognition for our
new Exhaust Isolators and Tunable Muffler Shell," said Mark P. Frissora,
chairman and CEO, Tenneco Automotive. "These innovative technologies represent
our commitment to developing products and technologies that help differentiate
vehicles and satisfy customer needs -- a key element in our growth strategy."
Exhaust Isolators offer a cost effective solution for achieving advanced
performance. Unlike conventional isolators, these innovative products can be
tuned both vertically and horizontally. Their unique design and use of
elastomer materials also accommodates the lengthening of the exhaust system that
occurs as temperatures increase. Moreover, these isolators integrate various
components, including brackets and sleeves, into a single part, which permits
easier assembly -- an important consideration in high-volume production.
The Tunable Muffler Shell is designed to deliver the cost advantages and
durability of single-wall muffler construction while providing the acoustical
benefits of double-wall construction. The single-shell design avoids
separation; a problem that can occur with double wall construction, and which
results in unwanted noise and accelerated corrosion. The Tunable Muffler Shell
is the first product to feature stiffening ridges in a wrapped construction.
The stamped ridge pattern takes place prior to wrapping and eliminates the
noise, vibration and harshness issues associated with single- shell muffler
designs. In addition, by varying the pattern of embossed ridges, engineers can
move resonant frequencies to non-critical zones.
The Exhaust Isolators were developed at the company's Milan, Ohio Engineering
Center in collaboration with its Grass Lake, Michigan Emission Control
Engineering Center. Production takes place at manufacturing plants in Milan and
Napoleon, Ohio.
The Tunable Muffler Shell was developed at the company's North American Emission
Control Engineering Center in Grass Lake, Michigan and is manufactured at the
Marshall, Michigan plant.
Tenneco Automotive is a $3.5 billion manufacturing company with headquarters in
Lake Forest, Illinois and 19,600 employees worldwide. Tenneco Automotive is one
