posted in: News | 0

Tenneco (NYSE:TEN), through its recently acquired Federal-Mogul Powertrain division, is supplying engine technologies for nine of Wards 10 Best Engines for 2019 model year vehicles. Since the inception of the Wards 10 Best Engines competition 25 years ago, Federal-Mogul Powertrain has designed and manufactured leading technologies for many of the engines recognized each year as the “10 Best.”

On October 1, 2018, Tenneco completed the acquisition of Federal-Mogul, a leading global supplier to original equipment manufacturers and the aftermarket. Additionally, the company expects to separate its businesses to form two new, independent companies, an Aftermarket and Ride Performance company as well as a new Powertrain Technology company, in late 2019.

“We congratulate our customers on being named a Wards 10 Best Engine,” said Rainer Jueckstock, executive vice president, Tenneco Powertrain Division. “We are very proud to supply advanced engine technologies and products that power such a diverse set of engines.”

2019 award-winning engines featuring Tenneco Powertrain Division technologies include:

3.0L (B58) DOHC Turbocharged I-6 (BMW X5)
6.2L OHV V-8 with DFM (Chevrolet Silverado)
5.0L DOHC V-8 (Ford Mustang GT/Bullitt)
3.0L DOHC TurboDiesel V-6 (Ford F-150)
2.0L DOHC Atkinson i-VTEC 4-Cyl./HEV (Honda Accord Hybrid)

2.0L DOHC Atkinson 4-Cyl./HEV (Lexus UX 250h)

Tenneco’s Powertrain Division provides a wide range of components for these engines, including pistons, piston rings, cylinder liners, valve seats and guides, engine valves, engine bearings, ignition products, heat shields, gaskets and systems protection products.

Since 1995, the Wards 10 Best Engines competition has recognized outstanding engines and electrified propulsion systems, as well as the technology and engineering behind them. All new or significantly improved powertrains, as well as last year’s ten returning winners were eligible. Vehicles must have a base price no higher than $64,000. The winning automakers are honored at a WardsAuto ceremony in Detroit during the North American International Auto Show.
