Dana Incorporated (NYSE: DAN) was named a 2019 Automotive News PACE Award finalist for its ultra-efficient Spicer® AdvanTEK® axle system. The prestigious PACE Awards serve as a benchmark for innovation and honors automotive suppliers for technical advancement, innovation, and dedication to excellence.
Dana’s ultra-efficient Spicer® AdvanTEK® axle system sets a new standard for axle efficiency – reaching a full 30 percent greater efficiency than previous best-in-class technology. The solution specifically addresses the energy losses related to oil churning and gear and bearing friction to increase efficiency, while maintaining durability and noise, vibration, and harshness performance.

In total, Dana has earned five PACE Awards, most recently in 2017 for its Victor Reinz® multi-layer steel transmission pump gasket.
