Clean Air

Our Approach

As we navigate the evolving landscape of global emissions standards and vehicle efficiency demands, Tenneco's Clean Air business remains at the forefront, delivering solutions that set the industry standard for performance, efficiency, and environmental responsibility. Our engineering prowess shines through in three key areas: aftertreatment, energy recycling and acoustic engineering.

Aftertreatment: We're the go-to problem solvers for global engine manufacturers grappling with stringent emissions regulations like Euro 6d, Euro 7, China 6, and Bharat 6. Our advanced aftertreatment technologies don't just reduce criteria pollutants; they obliterate them.

Energy Recycling: We're turning waste into wonder. Our Clean Air technologies boost overall vehicle efficiency by recycling waste and converting it into energy. 

Acoustic Engineering: From the growl of a sports car to the whisper of a luxury sedan, we're the sound architects behind your favorite vehicles. Our innovative exhaust systems aren't just focused on reducing noise; we're about redefining noise as a brand's acoustic signature.

Aftertreatment system Solutions

Emissions Control

Our advanced aftertreatment technologies propel global engine manufacturers beyond the world's toughest regulations, including Euro 6d, upcoming Euro 7, China 6, and Bharat 6. The result? A dramatic slash in criteria pollutants and a cleaner future for all.

Products include: Cold Start Thermal Unit (Active Heating), High Efficiency Urea Mixing, Fabricated Manifolds, Selective Catalytic Reduction, Gasoline and Diesel Particulate Filters, Close-Coupled Catalysts, Full Exhaust Aftertreatment Systems and Large Engine Aftertreatment +Dosing.

Fuel Economy

Did you know with a typical internal combustion engine, only about 30 percent of fuel energy drives the vehicle forward? And what happens to the other 70 percent? It goes to waste - about of half it through the vehicle's exhaust system. 

Our Clean Air team is changing the game - we're turning wasted energy into improved vehicle efficiency by revolutionziing how engines perform.

Fuel economy and thermal management products include: Exhaust Heat Recovery Systems, Lightweight Compact Systems, Cold Start Thermal Unit, High Efficiency Urea Mixing, Close-Coupled Catalysts, Fabricated Manifolds, Lightweight Aftertreatment + Dosing and Full Exhaust Aftertreatment Systems.

Acoustic Performance

We're doing more than reducing sound - we're empowering brands to develop their own signature acoustics. Whether it’s the rumble of a sports car or the quite hum of a limousine, we're working alongside our customers to integrate our exhaust system sound design innovations, developing each vehicle's acoustics with the end user in mind. 

Sound creation or cancellation technologies include: Active Electronic Valves, Smart Sound, High-Performance Passive Valves and Cold End Systems.
