Ricardo selected by Tenneco (Suzhou) Emission Systems Co. Ltd. to provide diesel particulate filter (DPF) control software and development support.
Ricardo is a leading developer of next-generation fuel-efficient and clean technologies, and is no stranger to working within the Chinese market. The company has been doing business in China for over twenty five years and has a well-equipped engineering facility and team in Shanghai.
Under the contract announced today, the company will supply clean diesel technology including DPF control algorithm models, hardware-in-the-loop testing support, control strategy calibration tools and on-site calibration training to Tenneco's Kunshan facility near Shanghai, China.
"I firmly believe that market demands and legislative pressures for the latest low emissions engine and exhaust aftertreatment technologies are likely to grow substantially over the coming years in China, particularly within the medium and heavy-duty diesel sectors," said Ricardo Asia president Gary Tan. "As a company, Ricardo is committed to developing clean, fuel efficient and low carbon technologies and adapting them to meet the specific needs of our customers in all parts of the world."
