BeauTech Power Systems Receives TRUEngine* Designation for CF34 Engines
EVENDALE, OH, July 2014 – GE has awarded BeauTech Power Systems its TRUEngine designation for 4ea CF34-8E and 2ea CF34-10E engines, leased to various world-wide airlines.
“We are committed to optimizing performance of our engines and maintaining maximum residual value for our assets, and the TRUEngine designation enables us to accomplish both goals at once,” said Lee Beaumont, President.
Launched in 2008 for the CFM56, the TRUEngine designation provides assurance to owners, operators, and engine buyers that engines qualified as TRUEngine have been maintained in the OEM configuration. The program has since been expanded to include CF6, GEnx and CF34 engines. Independent studies show that engines maintained with OEM parts and repairs maintain as much as 50% higher resale values compared to engines that include non-OEM parts or repairs. More than 8,600 engines operated by more than 120 operators have received the TRUEngine designation.
To qualify for TRUEngine status, the engine configuration, overhaul practices, spare parts and repairs used to service an engine must comply with GE-issued engine manuals and other maintenance recommendations. The qualification is obtained through the customer’s declaration of compliance and GE’s verification of customer submitted maintenance records since birth. The TRUEngine designation enhances marketability and provides other valuable benefits at no additional cost, such as extended new part warranty, complimentary access to engine lease pool and optimized product support.
