Modine Wins $35.0 Million Program to Provide Oil Coolers and Fuel Cooler Modules to International Truck and Engine.RACINE, Wis. -- Modine Manufacturing Company (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :MOD), a world leader in designing and developing heating and cooling solutions for a diversified group of markets including truck, agriculture, automotive, heavy-duty and industrial, announced today it has won a new program from International Truck and Engine Corporation (NYSE:NAV See navigation system and navigation bar. ) to help keep their new 2007 6.4L Power Stroke Diesel Engine lube oil and diesel fuel systems running cool. This order is expected to generate sales exceeding $35.0 million per year to Modine for the three years of the program. Modine will supply high efficiency lube oil coolers and diesel fuel cooler modules, engineered specifically for diesel engines used in heavy duty F-Series pickup trucks. In addition to the base fuel cooler, Modine developed and will assemble a fuel cooler module with associated brackets. These products will be manufactured at Modine's Lawrenceburg, Tennessee Lawrenceburg is a city in Lawrence County, Tennessee, United States. The population was 10,796 at the 2000 census. It is the county seat of Lawrence CountyGR6. Lawrenceburg is southwest of Nashville and named after James Lawrence. facility beginning in August, 2006. The facility employs 250 workers with nearly 150,000 square feet of manufacturing and support space. International anticipates the annual volume to be more than 330,000 units. These components will help International and its customers meet the new more strict emissions standards required by the United States Environmental Protection Agency "EPA" redirects here.

"This is a continuation of a long relationship between International and Modine. We were selected because our engineers worked with International to find the best solution to these tough emissions and packaging challenges. We look forward to continuing to push the boundaries as emissions standards tighten even further in the future," said Charles Katzfey, Modine Group Vice President. Modine and International have worked together successfully on the Power Stroke family of diesels since the 1980s. "Using oil side turbulators, as well as unique plate geometries, Modine's engineers were able to package the lube oil cooler and fuel cooler in a tight space," said Joe Sagat, Modine Program Manager. "These high performance, aluminum brazed products are a growth opportunity for our company. We also recognize managing the design and integration of components that interact with our core products is important to our customer and a value that Modine supplies." In the last three years the engine lube oil systems have become an even bigger challenge because the horsepower of the engines continues to grow, while the engine compartments remain the same size. In addition, fuel injection pressures continue to increase, which means hotter fuel to be cooled. So suppliers now have a real challenge, to cool high heat loads with less engine coolant coolant (kōō´l n flow available for the additional heat transfer products. Modine and its design engineers are solving this problem, and offering bundled solutions with proven performance.
