ArvinMeritor’s Commercial Vehicle Systems (CVS) group has been awarded a contract to supply 100 percent of the exhaust aftertreatment device packaging for DaimlerChrysler’s heavy-duty engines for the U.S. market in 2007.

The contract includes packaging for Detroit Diesel and Mercedes Benz engines designed for Freightliner, Sterling and Western Star brands. ArvinMeritor will provide the engineered packaging for all configurations of these aftertreatment devices, which are part of the engine manufacturers’ emissions system to meet U.S. 2007 emissions requirements. The devices also meet U.S. sound attenuation standards.
“Being awarded this business is a great honor for our Commercial Vehicle Emissions organization,” said Silvio Angori, general manager of ArvinMeritor Commercial Vehicle Emissions. “It represents the largest piece of heavy-duty business awarded by an OEM to an emissions control system packaging provider for the U.S. market for 2007.”
The company has been actively engaged in the development of exhaust aftertreatment systems to meet U.S. heavy-duty vehicle emissions standards for 2007 and beyond, using
a portfolio of tools that includes proprietary computational fluid dynamics (CFD), finite element analysis (FEA), soot modeling and thermal modeling.
