Jan. 24, 2017

LONG BEACH, Calif. – DENSO Products and Services Americas, Inc., an affiliate of leading global automotive supplier DENSO Corp., has partnered with Clean Diesel Technologies, Inc., (CDTi), a global manufacturer of vehicle emissions control systems, to introduce a new line of aftermarket emissions control products for heavy-duty trucks and equipment. The two California-based companies announced the launch of CDTi offered by DENSO particulate filters (DPFs) and diesel oxidation catalysts (DOCs) today at the 2017 Heavy Duty Aftermarket Week (HDAW) trade show in Las Vegas.

Available now, CDTi offered by DENSO features 60 DPF part numbers covering more than 260 original equipment (OE) quality products and seven DOC part numbers for heavy-duty on-road and off-road trucks and equipment. The partners plan to expand the product line with an additional 20 DPF and 15 DOC part numbers later this year.

“DENSO is excited to partner with CDTi to meet the growing demand for OE-quality aftertreatment products in the heavy-duty trucking and equipment industry,” said Frank Jenkins, senior manager of DENSO’s Heavy Duty Marketing Group. “CDTi is a clean-tech company that shares our commitment to product reliability and durability, rigorous safety and performance standards, innovation, customer service and environmental stewardship.”

CDTi offered by DENSO replacement diesel particulate filters (DPFs) and diesel oxidation catalysts (DOCs) provide equivalent emissions control versus OEM replacement units when installed in 2007 and newer heavy-duty diesel equipment

Superior features include high-grade stainless steel and other materials that increase durability by resisting corrosion and preventing failures; 100 percent OE-manufacturer substrates that maximize DPF performance and minimize backpressure, CGTI’s patented advanced coatings that increase catalyzation and regeneration efficiency; and “exact-fit” designs that include gaskets to meet specific application needs, reduce part numbers and streamline installation.

Turnkey CDTi offered by DENSO DPFs and DOCs are approved for horizontal, vertical and dual installation and backed by a two-year unlimited mileage warranty. Many of the components are manufactured in the U.S.

All part numbers meet strict U.S. Environmental Protection Agency emissions control regulations and are available for purchase and installation in 49 U.S. states and Canada.
