Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Segment and Geographic Area Information Segment and Geographic Area Information
As previously announced, the Company intends to separate its businesses to form two new, independent, publicly traded companies, New Tenneco and DRiV. The New Tenneco business consists of two existing operating segments, Clean Air and Powertrain:
The Clean Air segment designs, manufactures, and distributes a variety of products and systems designed to reduce pollution and optimize engine performance, acoustic tuning, and weight on a vehicle for OEMs; and
The Powertrain segment focuses on original equipment powertrain products for automotive, heavy duty, and industrial applications.

The Company began to manage and report its DRiV businesses through two new operating segments, in the first quarter of 2019, as compared to the three operating segments it had previously reported. The DRiV operating segments are Motorparts and Ride Performance. The new Motorparts operating segment consists of the previously reported Aftermarket operating segment as well as the aftermarket portion of the previously reported Motorparts operating segment. The Ride Performance operating segment consists of the previously reported Ride Performance operating segment as well as the OE Braking business that was included in the previously reported Motorparts operating segment:
The Motorparts segment designs, manufactures, markets and distributes a broad portfolio of brand-name products in the global vehicle aftermarket within seven product categories including shocks and struts, steering and suspension, braking, sealing, engine, emissions, and maintenance; and
The Ride Performance segment designs, manufactures, markets, and distributes a variety of ride performance solutions and systems to a global OE customer base, including noise, vibration, and harshness performance materials, advanced suspension technologies, ride control, and braking.

Costs related to other business activities, primarily corporate headquarter functions, are disclosed separately from the four operating segments as "Corporate." Prior period operating segment results have been conformed to reflect the Company's current operating segments.

Management uses EBITDA including noncontrolling interests as the key performance measure of segment profitability and uses the measure in its financial and operational decision-making processes, for internal reporting, and for planning and forecasting purposes to effectively allocate resources. EBITDA including noncontrolling interests is defined as earnings before interest expense, income taxes, noncontrolling interests, and depreciation and amortization. Segment assets are not presented as it is not a measure reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker in allocating resources and assessing performance.

EBITDA including noncontrolling interests should not be considered a substitute for results prepared in accordance with US GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to net income, which is the most directly comparable financial measure to
EBITDA including noncontrolling interests that is in accordance with US GAAP. EBITDA including noncontrolling interests, as determined and measured by the Company, should not be compared to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Segment results for 2019, 2018, and 2017 are as follows:

Disaggregation of revenue
Original Equipment
Value added: OE revenue is generated from providing original equipment manufacturers and servicers with products for automotive, heavy duty, and industrial applications. Supply relationships typically extend over the life of the related vehicle, subject to interim design and technical specification revisions, and do not require the customer to purchase a minimum quantity.
Substrate/Passthrough sales: Generally, in connection with the sale of exhaust systems to certain OE manufacturers, the Company purchases catalytic converters and diesel particulate filters or components thereof including precious metals (“substrates”) on
behalf of its customers which are used in the assembled system. These substrates are included in inventory and are “passed through” to the customer at cost, plus a small margin. Since the Company takes title to the substrate inventory and has responsibility for both the delivery and quality of the finished product including the substrates, the revenues and related expenses are recorded at gross amounts.

Aftermarket
Aftermarket revenue is generated from providing products for the global vehicle aftermarket to a wide range of warehouse distributors, retail parts stores, and mass merchants that distribute these products to customers ranging from professional service providers to “do-it-yourself” consumers.
Revenue from contracts with customers is disaggregated by product lines, as it depicts the nature and amount of the Company’s revenue that is aligned with the Company's key growth strategies. In the following table, revenue is disaggregated accordingly:
