HENDERSONVILLE, N.C.,
May 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Ӧhlins
Racing, a Tenneco (NYSE: TEN) business and one of the world's most
respected suppliers of racing, rally and off-road suspension
technologies, has been selected as exclusive provider of shock
absorbers for the NASCAR® Cup Series "Next Gen" car
platform scheduled to debut in 2022.
Ӧhlins will supply to all NASCAR Cup Series teams a highly
advanced, five-way adjustable version of the popular Ӧhlins TTR
coil-over damper widely used in the IndyCar Series racing, as well
as the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
"It is a tremendous honor for Öhlins and Tenneco to join the
elite technology providers supporting this revolutionary new
racecar," said Henrik Johansson,
vice president and general manager, Tenneco Advanced Suspension
Technologies. "Our strong heritage in racing has enabled us to
consistently develop cutting-edge technologies with superior
quality that help drivers win championships by extending beyond
existing performance limits."
NASCAR's Next Gen platform, which will be used by all three Cup
Series car manufacturers – Chevrolet, Ford and Toyota – includes
several design and construction enhancements intended to help
increase safety and performance, enable faster chassis setup and
reduce carmaker and team costs. The Next Gen car was unveiled
earlier this month and will make its racing debut at the
season-opening Daytona 500 on February 20,
2022.
Ӧhlins TTR dampers were selected for the Next Gen platform
following extensive development and testing conducted over the past
two years by Ӧhlins engineers and NASCAR representatives. In a
sport where every second matters, the exclusive new Cup Series TTR
damper enables teams to quickly and accurately dial-in damping
characteristics across a broad range of settings to address
changing track conditions.
