Modine Manufacturing Co. has been awarded a series of programs to supply exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) cooling solutions to meet U.S. EPA 2010 on-highway vehicle and Tier 4 off-highway equipment emissions standards.

The new programs, which consist of medium- and heavy-duty engine applications for a variety of customers, total $125 million in annualized revenues. Production is expected to begin in Modine's Joplin, Mo., manufacturing facility in mid-2009 and extend through 2015.
"The success of our new EGR technology is based on our continuing ability to help our customers meet their challenging engine applications, while at the same time reaching the more stringent environmental standards that help keep air cleaner for all of us," said James R. Rulseh, Modine regional vice president - Americas. "These wins are based on our field-proven, third-generation, high-efficiency EGR technology which is not only applicable to meet the coming U.S. EPA emissions standards, but also will help our global customers meet Euro-5 and Euro-6 standards in Europe and Euro-4 standards in Asia."
EGR coolers are used on diesel engines to cool and re-circulate a percentage of the exhaust gas in order to promote more effective combustion and reduce the formation of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particulates.
Modine specializes in thermal management systems and components. Modine products are used in light-, medium- and heavy-duty vehicles; HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) equipment; industrial equipment; refrigeration systems; fuel cells and electronics.
