MONROE, Mich. – Tenneco Inc. says it is continuing its investment in coverage in the emissions control category to help service providers capture new repair opportunities on virtually all popular domestic and foreign nameplate models.
The company plans to add approximately 400 new parts to its Walker product line in 2012, with significant emphasis on late-model foreign nameplate applications. Walker delivers original equipment-style replacement components for a growing range of European and Asian models.
Among the products to be introduced through the company’s continuous launch process in 2012 are premium Walker Quiet-Flow SS stainless steel mufflers, Walker Ultra and CalCat catalytic converters, DynoMax and Thrush performance exhaust systems/mufflers and related components. The company also has introduced the Walker Ultra EX converter featuring an extra-high-load catalyst technology for vehicles with very sensitive OBD II calibration.
“Tenneco has brought much-needed energy to the emission control category over the past several years, and we’re building on this momentum with the continuous launch of products for emerging service opportunities,” said Steve Myers, emission control engineering director, North American Aftermarket, Tenneco.
The Walker CalCat line of catalytic converters, engineered to meet California Air Resources Board requirements, is also growing, Tenneco says, with more new direct-fit and universal designs planned for 2012. Featuring nearly 40 percent greater precious metal material than corresponding products from the next-leading competitor, CalCat converters are available for sale in all 50 states and Canada.
