Product Developments

Piston Ring
-Federal-Mogul Powertrain has significantly reduced the friction of heavy-duty diesel piston rings by a combination of technologies, materials and designs. The Company's approach to achieving friction reduction in these areas includes innovative technology, process and material solutions, including the company's DuroGlide piston ring coating; its LKZ piston ring and a vertical casting process combined with the use of a highly-refined GOE70 cast steel material. (From a press release on September 23, 2014)

Clutch Piston
-Federal-Mogul Powertrain has developed its new high-modulus clutch piston, called Unipiston, which allows transmission designers more flexibility, including increased clutch apply pressures, higher rotational clutch speeds, and larger diameter clutches. High-modulus injection-molded Unipistons are now in series production. (From a press release on September 18, 2014)

Steel-Elastmer Head Gasket
Federal-Mogul Holdings Corporation's Powertrain Division is supporting the commercial vehicle industry's drive towards greener, more efficient engines with sealing technologies that enable reliable operation at cylinder pressures up to 250 bar and exhaust temperatures up to 1000℃. The Company's hybrid Steel-Elastomer head gaskets combine multi-layer steel (MLS) technology and elastomeric fluid sealing in a single product that provides optimum sealing of both combustion gases and engine fluids. The Company's High Temperature Alloys (HTA) and High Temperature Coatings (HTC) seal exhaust joints reliably at temperatures beyond the capability of conventional stainless steel and graphite materials.

Investments Outside USA

<China>
In November 2014, Federal-Mogul Powertrain announced that it has relocated two engine bearing plants in Shanghai (Federal-Mogul Shanghai Bearing Co., Ltd. and Federal-Mogul Shanghai Compound Material Co., Ltd.) into one larger facility to meet the growing demands for its powertrain solutions in China. Located in the Zhoupu Zhihui Industrial Park in Shanghai, the new plant is a Federal-Mogul majority-owned joint venture with Shanghai Automotive Industry Co. (Group) (SAIC) subsidiary Huayu Automotive Systems Co. Ltd. The Company expects the 215,000 square-foot plant, which produces bearings, bushings and thrust washers to car makers, will double its current capacity of engine bearings for domestic Chinese customers in the next five years. The Company is launching its IROX bearing technology in the new facility to localize production and supply for the domestic China market.

-In October 2014, Federal-Mogul Powertrain has opened a new Systems Protection manufacturing facility in Changshu, Jiangsu Province, China to support domestic customers in automotive, high-speed rail and aviation sectors. The new 7,000-square meter plant will provide additional production capacity for the Company's complete systems protection portfolio, including its Thermflex exhaust insulating sleeve. Thermflex protective sleeves, made with a special natural fiber, can effectively retain heat in exhaust pipes for emissions to be sufficiently decomposed. In addition to passenger car applications, Thermflex is also used for domestic public transit vehicles, mainly for reducing particulate matter (PM) and carbon monoxide. (From a press release on October 23, 2014)

-On April 17, 2014, the Company began a capacity expansion project at its piston factory in Qingdao, China. When the project is completed, the plant space will be expanded by 30%. Starting in the second half of 2014, the company will supply its advanced Elastoval pistons to three global automakers to support their engine platforms produced in China. The expanded facility also will manufacture the Elastoval II aluminum pistons for mid- and high-end passenger cars. The Company's Elastoval technology combines high-strength piston architecture with a low friction, durable piston skirt coating to deliver a lightweight design.
