The Power of a Technology Portfolio: Heavy-Duty Off-Road Remanufacturing

The U.S. is the largest remanufacturer in the world, supporting 180,000 full-time jobs and generating nearly $12 billion in exports. Heavy-duty off-road equipment is one of the most reman-intensive sectors. REMADE seeks to increase reman intensity in the heavy-duty off-road sector, creating even more jobs and more exports.

According to the United Nations Environment Programme’s International Resource Panel report, “Re-defining Value – The Manufacturing Revolution,” the lead author of which is REMADE CEO Nabil Nasr, buying a remanufactured product or service part can save 90% of the energy compared to buying a new part.

REMADE has multiple heavy-duty off-road remanufacturing R&D projects working to increase reman intensity in the sector, creating jobs and increasing exports. These include projects focused on design, inspection and condition assessment, and repair/restoration.

Our current portfolio of reman R&D projects in the sector is capable of saving up to 50 petajoules of embodied energy annually, up to 1 million metric tons in materials savings per year, and decreasing greenhouse gas emissions by 2.5 million metric tons annually.
