When being the most trusted partner in the industry is your purpose, the wins founded on collaboration matter — especially when they break world records. JCB’s Hydromax has set a new world land speed record for a hydrogen-powered internal combustion vehicle at the legendary Bonneville Salt Flats. Powered by two 5.0-liter hydrogen-fueled engines delivering a combined 1,600 bhp, Hydromax achieved an average speed of 406.320 mph across its two official runs. Inside that ambition is Tenneco technology. Our advanced piston and piston ring solutions are engineered to withstand the extreme demands of high-performance hydrogen combustion — but the technology is only half the story. The Tenneco team behind it delivered a validated, first-time-right solution under demanding conditions and on an ambitious timeline. And what we’re most proud of is the mindset driving it: the precision behind the power, the discipline behind the delivery, and the collaboration that pushed hydrogen combustion further than it has gone before. #TheTennecoWay #TennecoTechnology #HydrogenPower

Most TENNX CEO Awards recognize exemplary individuals. So when Tenneco’s highest employee honor goes to an entire team, that says everything. The Changzhou Operator Team earned the award for “Magical Zero,” a Continuous Improvement project built to standardize work, simplify processes, and reduce the chance of error across a high-demand operation. The results speak for themselves: zero Quality Record occurrences, stronger operational performance, a 60% reduction in defect rates, increased cost savings, and a 10% reduction in employee turnover. All while supporting 17 welding lines, 30 product types, and up to 200 employees during peak production periods. If anyone wants to know what discipline, teamwork, and ownership can deliver, point them to Changzhou. This is better-than-best in action. This is #TheTennecoWay. Congratulations to the Changzhou Operator Team on this well-deserved honor. #TENNXCEOAward 📍Changzhou, China

Show us a company built to win, and we'll show you a strong leadership bench behind it. That's why we invest in the people already showing what's next. Development of Self and Others is core to #TheTennecoWay, and it's how we build the leaders who will take Tenneco forward. Last month, our second AMER Emerging Leaders cohort graduated at our Smithville, Tennessee site — six leaders across three countries and six sites, each obsessed with excellence, unwilling to accept the status quo, and ready to raise the bar. They spent months tackling real operational challenges and presented their capstone projects directly to Tenneco leadership. Congratulations to our latest graduates on a milestone that marks the beginning of what they'll help build next. Because when we say #GameOn, this is the type of bench strength that makes us win.

Ask most interns if they got face time with the CEO, then ask ours. This summer, we put our interns close to the work across the business, and capped it by putting them in a room with Tenneco's top leadership for an unscripted Q&A. They asked what they wanted, and got honest answers back. That's development in real time, and it's #TheTennecoWay at work. The same radical candor that shaped this company got passed to the people who'll shape it next. The message hasn't changed since day one: do the hard work and own the outcome. That's what got us here, and it's what we want this next generation carrying forward. The interns asking the sharpest questions today are the leaders who'll carry Tenneco tomorrow. Developing them now is how we prepare for what's ahead. Swipe through to see the day. #NationalInternDay

The #TENNXCEOAward is reserved for people who see what's possible — and then do the hard work to make it real. They challenge the status quo, execute with discipline, and, after they deliver, raise the bar again. Each year, only 11 people across Tenneco earn that distinction. In Puebla, Mexico, #TeamTenneco and CAO Jon Bagrosky celebrated two of this year’s recipients: Jorge Chiquillo and Ruben Ruiz — who demonstrated exactly what that mindset looks like in action. For Jorge, it meant leading the project that brought our North American valve operations together in Aguascalientes. He connected teams across locations, removed barriers, and delivered the transition on time and on budget. For Ruben, it meant looking at an operation in Reynosa that was already performing well and refusing to accept that it had reached its full potential. He upgraded equipment, redesigned the layout, and standardized processes — tripling production capacity while delivering significant savings across eight initiatives. Jorge created the space an operation needed. Ruben found more possibility in the space his team already had. Different challenges, same mindset: no respect for the status quo, no excuses, and the determination to turn possibility into performance. That's #TheTennecoWay. Congratulations to Ruben and Jorge!

Who better to show Intern Day than an intern? We handed the camera to Maya Hervey, who took us behind the scenes as interns from across Tenneco came to HQ to connect and take part in a Q&A with CEO Jim Voss and Tenneco leaders. We covered careers, leadership, risks, lessons learned — and a mindset that applies whether it’s your first summer on the job or you’re running the company: win or learn, take risks and make the impossible happen. Turns out, we had a few things to learn, too. Maya, thanks for bringing us along. And to all of our interns: keep asking the questions we haven’t thought of. Keep challenging what’s already been done. Keep seeing possibilities the rest of us might miss. That’s #TheTennecoWay. Game on. #NationalInternDay

Across APAC, every one of our 33 plants is now P3 certified — with 3 Gold sites and 8 Silver sites setting the pace for what comes next. Leaders gathered in Shanghai to mark the milestone, but the real achievement goes beyond the certification. It’s the hard work that made it possible: teams that keep raising standards, strengthening safety and building better ways to operate. At the heart of this accomplishment are sites that operate with our biggest priority as the foundation: safety. APAC has recorded 0 SIFs and more than 550 days without an SIF injury. That is P3 - People, Performance and Pride - in motion. Not as a program, but as a way of operating every day. When standards are held, people are protected. When standards are raised, entire regions move forward. Congratulations to every APAC team proving what it means to lead, improve, and raise the bar #TheTennecoWay. A new benchmark has been set. #NoBoundaries

The Hungarian Grand Prix closed the first half of the Cadillac Formula 1® Team debut season, with clear progress being made since the start of the year. Building a team and car from the ground up was never going to be clean. It takes discipline, grit, and the willingness to turn every setback into something useful — because wins don’t come without losses, and progress rarely comes without pressure. When the mindset is win or learn — like Tenneco’s — the way forward is grounded in showing up better next time. #TheTennecoWay Doing the hard things is how winners are built. To the Cadillac F1 Team and the road ahead, game on. #CadillacF1 #F1

The numbers matter, but what matters more is what they say about how we operate. Every metric in our 2025 Sustainability Report reflects thousands of decisions made across our business — teams solving problems, leaders building repeatable systems, and people holding the standard every day, whether the work is easy or not. Progress doesn't happen by accident. It scales through ownership, discipline, and a commitment to keep improving as expectations rise. That's what #sustainability at Tenneco looks like. That's what #TheTennecoWay demands. We're just getting started. Read the full 2025 Sustainability Report on our website.

At the Belgian Grand Prix, Valtteri brought the MAC-26 to the flag, while Checo fought forward before a rear suspension issue ended his run. Both outcomes matter to a team in its first season, because every lap on track — whether it ends at the flag or in the garage — is a lap of data, insight, and learning that shapes what comes next. That's what this past weekend gave the Cadillac Formula 1® Team: more to work with. It reflects the mindset we bring to our own work at Tenneco — win or learn. Great teams are made through the strength, resilience, and discipline to keep improving lap by lap. This is what building looks like. #TheTennecoWay #F1 #CadillacF1
