Caterpillar Forms Alliance with CleanAIR Systems to Reduce Emissions
New alliance between Caterpillar® and CleanAIR Systems offers customers a complete emissions solution for existing machines and engine applications.
Santa Fe, NM – June 18, 2008 - Caterpillar, Inc., the world's leading manufacturer of construction and mining equipment, clean diesel and natural gas engines and gas turbines, announced on June 17th the selection of CleanAIR Systems, Inc. of Santa Fe, New Mexico, as the Caterpillar strategic alliance partner for emissions control products. CleanAIR’s reduction technology will be installed on existing Caterpillar commercial engine applications to reduce diesel particulate matter, hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and NOx; positioning CleanAIR Systems as the preferred vendor of choice for custom-designed retrofit products.
The alliance encompasses CleanAIR’s proprietary technology, custom engineering capability and the company’s use of integrated manufacturing in producing diesel particulate filters, diesel oxidation catalysts, three-way catalysts and selective catalytic reduction catalysts. Caterpillar will provide system integration capability, engineering and marketing support, as well as assistance to enable CleanAIR to meet growing demand from the broad Caterpillar customer-base.
Established in 1993, CleanAIR Systems designs and manufactures complete emissions control systems, including the PERMIT™ Filter, verified by the California Air Resources Board (ARB) for Level 3 reduction (greater than 85%) of exhaust particulate from prime power and emergency generators. Verified by ARB in 2003, CleanAIR’s PERMIT™ Filter met stringent CARB Level 3 standards years before other technologies, becoming the longest-selling, verified diesel particulate filter (DPF) technology currently on the market for stationary engines. CleanAIR’s line of emissions control products also includes an exclusive license for technology developed by Los Alamos National Laboratories.
“CleanAIR and CAT are a perfect fit,” said Michael Roach, President of CleanAIR Systems. “Due to our extensive product base and established performance history in emissions control, Caterpillar feels our company has what it takes to become a member of the CAT family. The alliance will increase our market exposure as well as introduce CleanAIR products to Caterpillar dealers around the world.”
The Caterpillar-CleanAIR agreement allows Caterpillar dealers to more effectively meet customers’ stringent air quality requirements by offering a responsive and competitive solution. With the ability to sell CleanAIR’s retrofit systems, CAT dealers can now offer a customized product for a specific application, along with the latest in product technology. The Caterpillar dealer network also has direct access to dedicated online product support through the CleanAIR CAT Dealer Web Portal recently developed by CleanAIR Systems as part of the company’s joint marketing effort with Caterpillar. Future ventures include a traveling product demonstration and regional dealer events.
The relationship between CAT and CleanAIR Systems is part of a long-term strategy that combines the strengths of both companies, creating a formidable team to deliver cost-effective solutions to customers’ increasingly complex emissions challenges.
