Dana AdvanTEK® - The Axle Advantage
Dana’s new line of innovative axles is designed to address Advan TEK axle
today’s discerning light truck buyer by providing luxury car like noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) standards to the pickup truck, SUV and CUV market while retaining characteristics of an authentic Dana axle -- rugged, reliable and durable.

In 2001, the challenge was set to design a new line of axles with criteria established through thorough benchmarking studies. The objective was to exceed the best- in-class for NVH, fuel economy, durability, contamination control as well as manufacturing and assembly technology.

Some of the world’s most advanced axle designs were benchmarked including prestigious German and Japanese designs. The successful result is Dana’s new AdvanTEK® axle. It offers the latest technologies for conserving fuel, improving warranty and delivering world-class NVH performance.
