Alfdex signs two groundbreaking orders - including both on- and off-road vehicles
Alfdex with its g-TechnologyTM, a global leading company within cleaning particles and liquid droplets from gases, has signed two groundbreaking orders for crankcase ventilation systems in the commercial vehicle industry. The orders are connected to the development and extension of the existing Alfdex g-Cleaner product family. The total value of the orders during the length of the programs is expected to about SEK 1.3 billion.
“The strong focus on sustainability in combination with stepwise tougher emission regulations inspires companies to plan and think around the corner, which also creates demand that drives our product development efforts”, says Fredrik Larsson, Alfdex CEO. “These two orders are proof of exactly that – and we offer something unique, with benefits such as maintenance-free operation, extremely high purification performance, and robustness for all types of environments, fuels and applications, including hydrogen.”
Some details about the two orders:
- Alfdex g-Cleaner eMDS (electric Medium Duty Separator) to one of the largest manufacturers of off-road agriculture and construction equipment. It is a five-year agreement with a total value of about SEK 300 million.
- Alfdex g-Cleaner SDS (Super Duty Separator) for large on-road engines, typically used in trucks and buses. The order is an agreement with one of the global powerhouses and one of the leading vehicle manufacturers. It is an eight-year program with a total value of about SEK 1,000 million.
“We are very proud of this confirmation that our product development efforts to support our customers in creating a sustainable future are recognized”, says Fredrik Larsson.
