For the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray – the North American Car of the Year – Tenneco supplies emission control components, including electrical valves for exhaust system sound tuning.

The company also provides elastomer products, including its all-new hydroelastic body mount; front suspension bushings; spring bushings and front top mounts.

We’re committed to helping them develop exciting new vehicles that are clean, fuel-efficient and fun to drive.”

The winners of the 2014 North American Car and Truck of the Year awards were announced on Jan. 13, 2014. The annual awards are designed to recognize the most outstanding new vehicles of the year, which are benchmarks in their segments based on factors including innovation, comfort, design, safety, handling, driver satisfaction and value for the dollar.
