Hug Engineering’s emission solutions help industries meet ECO standards
- Swiss Hug Engineering targets Asian expansion for exhaust purification systems
Emission reduction is a growing concern in Asia, where air pollution is a serious environmental problem affecting millions due to rapid industrialisation and economic expansion. With more than 35 years of experience as Europe’s market leader in emission control for heavy duty applications, Swiss Hug Engineering gears up its expansion towards Asia’s growing markets for exhaust purification systems as part of a major international transition.
Last year, Hug Engineering became part of Faurecia Group – a leading player in the global automotive industry with more than 100,000 employees in 330 sites across 34 countries. Leveraging Faurecia’s vast network and expertise, the company has set its sights on becoming an autonomous exhaust emissions specialist at the forefront of a global industry.
“Technology is at the root of our success,” says Stefan Fuss, CEO of Hug Engineering. “We have cutting-edge technologies dealing with big engines that greatly differs from emission control for commercial vehicles.”
“We started with Selective Catalytic NOx Reduction (SCR) technology in the 1980s for land-based power plants and Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) technology for locomotives. SCR technology reduces nitrogen oxides (NOx), while DPF technology reduces particulate matter, which pollute the air. Over the past 35 years, we transferred that technology from one application to another – from power plants and railway systems to commercial ships and yachts. Eventually, these applied technologies came together, and we now offer integrated systems with a low cost of ownership,” Fuss says.

Spending 10 per cent of its revenue on research and development (R&D), Hug Engineering develops, produces and sells high-quality emission control systems and exhaust gas purification solutions with mobile and stationary applications for high-horsepower diesel and gas-powered engines. Its best-in-class products are designed in-house using high-quality input materials, electrical and mechanical components and welded assemblies from reliable suppliers.
