Solving more than  filtration problems Donaldson unveiled its breakthrough PowerCore ™ air-intake system in 1999, and it’s now being used in a variety of products, from a John Deere lawn and garden tractor to a Caterpillar power generator to a Volvo mid-sized truck. PowerCore systems offer superior filtration performance in a smaller package, and that’s what manufacturers love. As our  customers’ products become more com- pact and stylized, space is at a premium. Our PowerCore systems give designers and engineers more freedom and choice  in their designs. For John Deere, a PowerCore system was the best solution to its problem of superior filtration in a very small space – nothing  else worked. For Volvo, the space saved with our smaller filter enabled them to design their truck with more cargo space. With worldwide patents, PowerCore  system’s unique configuration and perfor- mance are difficult to duplicate, allowing  us and our OEMs to retain the important replacement parts, or aftermarket, business. First-year sales exceeded our expectations, as did customer eagerness to try this inno- vative technology. PowerCore systems will be on at least seven new models of trucks, tractors and equipment next year. We’re in your BACKYARD
