'Reman' Engine Market Steady, but Complexity Challenges Production Efficiency

February 1, 2015

High-tech design causes time to remanufacture engines to nearly triple and adds to cost, while used engines remain a competitive factor. However, Purdue University data shows remanufacturing is far more energy efficient than installing a new powerplant. Read more at http://articles.sae.org/13703  .
