Our Value
Delivering Value Across All Terrains
Dana is known worldwide for its reputation as a trustworthy partner and leader in efficiently transferring energy and power to the wheels, no matter the energy source. Whatever the terrain, we have the solution — offering broad coverage across market segments including construction, agriculture, mining, material handling, and forestry.
Encompassing the needs of industries such as the steelmaking industry, sugar or cement manufacturers, as well as the marine and plastics and rubber industries, has enabled us to develop an array of solutions and provide valued support based on our understanding of many specific processes in each industry.
Customers benefit from sustainable competitive advantage through cost efficiencies, shared research and development, and knowledge transfer. Always striving to be customer-centric and collaborative, we strategically place our operations in close proximity to our clients’ programs to support new applications as they emerge. We are continually partnering to develop a systems approach and expanding our portfolio of hybridization and electrification solutions.
Off-highway machines deliver the greatest value when they’re actively working on the job site, which is why Dana’s drive and motion systems are designed with lower maintenance requirements. Tire inflation technologies, wet disc brakes, and extended drain intervals are engineered into Dana’s solutions so equipment spends more time getting the job done in between service visits.
As vehicle designs become more complex, drive and motion technologies are required to deliver exceptional performance from a smaller footprint. Dana engineers integrate systems in compact packages that provide the efficiency and high power density needed to meet increasingly demanding off-highway requirements.
To minimize the total cost of ownership, buyers expect their off-highway equipment to provide consistent, superior performance over the long term. Dana’s drive and motion systems are painstakingly engineered, extensively tested, and precisely manufactured to exacting quality standards that deliver productivity and reliability year after year.
Dana takes on the challenge of cost reduction on off-highway machinery at every opportunity with various products, technologies, and features to help meet financial goals.

The duty cycles of off-highway applications are incredibly diverse, and one size will never fit all. Dana engineers leverage our extensive portfolio of modular drive and motion technologies to develop customized solutions that can address a wide range of industry, region, regulatory, vehicle, application, duty cycle, and user requirements. These include systems for equipment driven by internal-combustion engines as well as the latest hybrid and electric vehicle configurations.
Dana is a leading drivetrain and motion systems provider for electrified off-highway applications including material handling, compact construction, and underground mining equipment. We are the only supplier with in-house high- and low-voltage motor solutions to support both traction and auxiliary systems across all applications.
