  • Our Value

Always Finding a Better Way

Our solutions are engineered to maximize fuel efficiency and durability while reducing overall weight and noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH). We understand that a component is only as good as the system in which it operates; that’s why we take an integrated, systems-focused approach in the development of each of our products. And as more and more automakers shift their focus towards vehicle electrification, we’ll leverage our in-house expertise and complete portfolio of electrodynamic solutions to support them throughout every phase of development.

Fuel Efficiency

As fuel economy requirements continue to tighten across the globe, Dana works collaboratively with customers to meet and exceed these standards, while maintaining performance, reducing emissions, and improving system design. Together, we develop customized drivetrain systems that reduce product complexity, leverage innovative lightweight materials and welding processes, and ultimately provide the optimal level of fuel economy based on a given duty cycle.

Introducing an Ultra Efficient, Ultra Quiet, and Ultra Innovative Axle System

Case Study

Introducing an Ultra Efficient, Ultra Quiet, and Ultra Innovative Axle System

Dana is currently producing the Spicer® AdvanTEK Ultra™ axle with its SmartConnect™ disconnecting all-wheel drive system for the Ford Edge and other related vehicle platforms throughout North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific.

A 2019 Automotive News PACE Award winner, the Spicer AdvanTEK Ultra axle delivers best-in-class fuel efficiency across all torques, speeds, and temperatures without tradeoffs for durability or comfort. It leverages ultra-low viscosity lubricants while maintaining gear durability to achieve up to a 45-percent reduction in energy loss, compared with a typical axle.

Durability

Our innovations aren’t just concepts; they’re proven to work and built to last. Achieving the durability our customers demand requires an ongoing commitment to rigorous testing. Every Dana breakthrough is challenged, measured, and affirmed—and then tested again. In fact, we’re one of the only Tier 1 automotive suppliers known by name in the consumer market, thanks to the reputation and proven durability of our Dana 44™ and Dana 60™ axles.

Layer-by-Layer Cylinder-Head Gasket Performance

Case Study

Layer-by-Layer Cylinder-Head Gasket Performance

Attention to product design, coupled with the use of high-quality materials, is the foundation for highly reliable Victor Reinz® cylinder-head gaskets. Different engines have different requirements. Our engineers have the experience to design plastic/elastic sealing characteristics that will follow the engine’s deformations under all operating conditions, while also ensuring that the surface pressures do not fall below the levels needed for reliable sealing.

System Integration

Through decades-long relationships with our customers, Dana is uniquely positioned to understand the data and variables that impact each vehicle’s dynamics and how they interact with the complete powertrain. We collaborate closely with customers in the early stages of design to find new ways of integrating components and reducing system complexity. Our deep systems competence allows us to excel at integrating both electrical and mechanical components, as well as entire systems, for enhanced performance, space optimization, efficiency, and cost savings.

NVH

Lowering noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) levels is key to achieving a smoother, quieter ride and drive. And as quieter electric motors replace combustion engines, managing ambient noise levels within passenger vehicles becomes not only more important—but an increasingly challenging engineering feat. Even the smallest variations during manufacturing can affect NVH levels. But through extensive research, design, and rigorous product testing, Dana’s products achieve significantly lower NVH levels than competitor products.

Vehicle Electrification

Supported by our legacy of innovation in conventional drivetrains, Dana is working with leading light vehicle OEMs and strategic partners to develop integrated systems and modular solutions for electrified vehicle applications. Whether a customer is looking for an expert to help guide electric vehicle architecture or a reliable components supplier, Dana has the flexibility to meet any need. Today, we are the only supplier with the capability to develop complete electrified powertrains and fully integrated e-Drives, complete with thermal management systems, across all vehicle markets.
