| Company Recognized for Innovative Two-Dimensional Ultrasonic Testing Process for Raised Gallery Pistons; Hybrid Liner Technology a Finalist |
SOUTHFIELD, Mich., Apr 25, 2012 - (ACN Newswire) - Federal-Mogul Corporation (NASDAQ: FDML) was the recipient of a 2012 Automotive News PACE(TM) Awards at a black-tie ceremony on April 23 in Detroit. The prestigious award recognizes automotive suppliers for superior innovation, technological advancement and business performance.
The company's Two-Dimensional (2D) Ultrasonic Testing for Raised Gallery Diesel Pistons was recognized in the Manufacturing Process category, which recognizes innovations involving game-changing manufacturing or business processes that support the automotive supply chain.
Federal-Mogul's 2D Ultrasonic Testing and Analysis process is helping to create a new generation of high-performance pistons that is a substantial enabler in further diesel engine downsizing. In its first application, the significantly improved cooling capability of the new raised-gallery piston enabled a major automotive manufacturer to achieve a CO2 reduction of 30 percent compared with the previous generation engine.
"We are committed to providing our customers with innovative solutions that improve fuel economy, reduce emissions and enhance vehicle safety," said Gian Maria Olivetti, vice president for technology and innovation, Federal-Mogul Powertrain Energy, who received the award on behalf of the company. "We take great pride in our leading technologies and are extremely honored to be recognized with this prestigious award."
Federal-Mogul's Hybrid Cylinder Liner technology was a finalist in the Product category, which highlights innovations in new products, components or systems that have significant market impact and are "game changers" in the automotive industry. The company's Hybrid Liner technology helps to reduce bore distortion and improve function in the latest generation of lighter, more highly loaded gasoline engines. The patented liner technology provides reliable, cost-effective and long-term performance for engines with high outputs and low oil consumption.
Federal-Mogul has previously won nine Automotive News PACE Awards. The company received two PACE Awards in 2011 for its EcoTough(R)-coated piston and LKZ(R) oil control ring, and three in 2010 for its DuraBowl(R) piston reinforcement process, High Precision Electro-Erosion Machining (HPEEM) manufacturing process and Bayonet Connection System for profile wiper blades. The company also was honored with PACE Awards for its High-Temperature Alloy (HTA) gaskets and Goetze(R) Diamond Coating (GDC(R)) for piston rings in 2007; for its Monosteel(R) diesel piston in 2006 and for its Wagner(R) ThermoQuiet(R) brake pads and shoes in 2003.
The 18th annual PACE (Premier Automotive Suppliers' Contribution to Excellence) Award was presented by Automotive News, Ernst & Young LLP and Transportation Research Center Inc. (TRC Inc.).
