About UsOverviewClean Diesel Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: CDTI) is a cleantech emissions reduction company that designs, develops and manufactures sustainable solutions to reduce emissions and lower the carbon intensity of on- and off-road engine applications.We are a leading global manufacturer and distributor of heavy duty diesel and light duty vehicle emissions control systems and products to major automakers and retrofitters. Our business is driven by increasingly stringent global emission standards for internal combustion engines, which are major sources of a variety of harmful pollutants.Our innovative solutions significantly reduce four principal harmful emissions formed by the combustion of fossil fuels and biofuels without increasing secondary emissions such as nitrogen dioxide (NO2):
We operate in two primary divisions: our Heavy Duty Diesel Systems division, which specializes in the design and maintenance of verified exhaust emission control solutions, and our Catalyst division, which produces catalyst formulations for gasoline, diesel and natural gas induced emissions. Meeting Global Air Quality StandardsDeteriorating air quality and concerns about climate change are driving global regulations for control of harmful combustion emissions. Regulatory standards have been adopted worldwide to control the emissions of NOx, PM, CO and carbon dioxide (CO2), from on- and off-road internal combustion engine exhaust. Because standards put in place by the EPA, CARB and other international regulators continue to become more restrictive over time, we view the markets for our products as continually expanding. According to a 2010 EPA study, on-road vehicles and off-road mobile sources (mostly gasoline and diesel engines) combined account for the largest emissions of nitrogen oxide and carbon monoxide in the United States, representing approximately 58% and 82%, respectively. The same study lists the combined sources as the second largest source of volatile organic compounds, at approximately 38%. The Clean Diesel Difference - Complete Emissions SolutionWe are a vertically integrated company and our principal objective is the worldwide deployment of technologies to reduce the overall emissions from diesel, gasoline, natural gas and biofuel applications and to continue a leadership position in emissions reduction technology. Clean Diesel Technologies, Inc. was established in 1994 and in 2010, completed a business combination with Catalytic Solutions, Inc. We have over 30 years experience in vehicle emissions control technologies, and offer one of the industry’s most comprehensive portfolios of evaluated and EPA- and CARB-verified systems for use in engine retrofit programs, as well as by regulators in several European countries. Our Heavy Duty Diesel Systems division products include our Engine Control Systems, or ECS,- and Clean Diesel-branded products for the retrofit and OEM markets. We sell these products directly as well as through our distributor/dealer network. Our Catalyst division products are based on our proprietary Mixed Phase Catalyst, or MPC® technology, which we have formulated for use in gasoline, diesel and natural gas emissions applications. We view our catalyst products as highly differentiated from competing products because they offer similar or better performance while using little or no platinum group metals. Our Catalyst division has supplied over 10 million catalyst parts to light duty vehicle customers since 1996. With headquarters in Ventura, California and operations in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, France, Japan and Sweden, we have a unique perspective on global solutions for emissions reduction. Backed with regulatory verifications and approvals, we have created a suite of products that are cost-effective, sustainable and used with proven success in new equipment and retrofit applications, including the following markets:
Our proprietary Catalyst division products are manufactured at our facility in Oxnard, California, while our Heavy Duty Diesel Systems division products are manufactured at our facilities in Reno, Nevada; Thornhill, Canada; Malmö, Sweden; and South Godstone, United Kingdom. We have nearly 200 distributors globally. |
