Recently, Detroit Reman hosted industry media at its Tooele, Utah, facility to highlight its extensive portfolio of remanufactured products, which are sold under the Detroit Genuine Parts brand for the DTNA on-highway aftermarket, and under various brands for customers in the off-highway and automotive aftermarkets.
Detroit Reman is a business unit of Detroit Diesel Corp. and, according to the company, its production of high quality remanufactured products contributes to Daimler’s “Shaping Future Transportation” sustainability efforts by offering its customers products that are economical and environmentally friendly.
Stefan H. Kurschner, president of Detroit Reman, defined remanufacturing as the opportunity to not only provide customers with components that are remanufactured, often to better than new specifications using technology upgrades, but also to reduce waste by not disposing of vehicle parts that can be reclaimed, which saves millions of tons of waste per year.
“Detroit Reman’s products are of the highest quality and provide a value-driven solution to lower the cost of ownership for our customers,” Kurschner said. “Remanufacturing and sustainable corporate citizenship are integral to the Daimler corporate strategy. Remanufacturing by its very nature lends itself to sustainability by extending the useful life of a product which would otherwise be scrapped.”
Detroit Reman’s product portfolio includes:
• Remanufactured engines and components: diesel four-cycle, two-cycle and automotive gasoline engines, as well as a complete lineup of engine components including cylinder heads, connecting rods, fuel pumps, oil pumps, water pumps, air compressors.
• Transmissions: Automatic, automated and manual transmissions.
• Turbochargers: For medium- and heavy-duty diesel engines, and automotive versions including variable geometry turbochargers.
