automotive and commercial vehicle OE markets and the aftermarket, Tenneco, invited aBr and other important
special report
guests to its International Information and Training AM Conference in Pavia, Italy in May.

made an appearance in Milan
T
he aim of the popular annual
event is to learn how to sell
more of the company’s ride
control, emissions control and
suspension and steering products,
primarily through training, knowledge
sharing and networking.
The conference includes two days of
intensive product, sales, marketing and
technical discussions among Tenneco
representatives and product managers
from leading EMEA parts distributors,
followed by a day of activities for
leading members of the business
press. A comprehensive technical
training programme, among other
activities, is included for workshop
professionals.
TADIS
During a press conference for the
gathered media, it was revealed
that Tenneco was in the process of
rolling out a vast technical knowledge
resource known as TADIS, a free digital
technical information system created
for Tenneco’s aftermarket customers.
TADIS, short for Technician’s Advanced
Digital Information System, is a truly
comprehensive and state-of-the-art
digital information system that offers
fast, simplified access to a world of
diagnostic information, high-definition
technical videos, and repair and
product information related to vehicle

Somewhat surprisingly, access to
TADIS is provided entirely free of
charge to any vehicle workshop
professional, replacement parts sales
representative, technical school
instructor, student, journalist or
consumer - worldwide.
TADIS represents an important
investment in technical support
and training, not just for Tenneco’s
customers. By increasing global
access to the very latest diagnostic,
repair and product information,
the company is helping just about
everyone in the industry to more
proactively and effectively manage
and understand vehicle repair
processes.
