HANNOVER, Germany, Sept. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Dana Holding Corporation (NYSE: DAN) announced today that it will be introducing its Spicer® AdvanTEK® Model 250 in a banjo-style beam-axle design for the light-commercial-vehicle market at the IAA Commercial Vehicle Expo in Hannover, Germany, which runs through Sept. 30. Dana will be located in Hall 17, Booth B27.
Dana's high-performance AdvanTEK axles, which provide best-in-class noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) performance while offering durability and reliability, can now further assist vehicle manufacturers in meeting fuel efficiency requirements by delivering higher power density in a smaller, lighter axle.
Developed for use in light commercial vehicles with Gross Vehicle Weight Ratings (GVWR) of 3.5 to 6 tons, the banjo-style axle serves as an alternative to conventional Salisbury designs for robust, high load-carrying applications and is particularly suited for emerging markets. Composed of upper and lower durable steel pressings that are welded together to form the beam assembly, the banjo axle is manufactured using Dana's proprietary processes.
The AdvanTEK M250 banjo-style beam axle also offers increased efficiency and fuel economy due to the use of reduced hypoid gear offsets and the latest bearing technology.
Additional benefits of AdvanTEK technology can include improved ground clearance and suspension alignment, which are especially useful in light-commercial-vehicle applications, as well as pickup truck and sport-utility vehicles.
"As market demands shift to accommodate consumer expectations and government regulations, our focus remains on providing innovative, cost-effective technology for today's vehicles," said Aziz Aghili, president, Dana Europe. "This AdvanTEK banjo-style axle is a prime example of Dana's enhanced product offerings
