Dana has completed the acquisition of  Nordresa Motors, working in the development and commercialisation of electric powertrains for commercial vehicles.

Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

The investment enhances Dana’s electrification capabilities by combining its portfolio of motors, inverters, chargers, gearboxes and thermal-management products with Nordresa’s proprietary battery-management system, electric powertrain controls and integration know-how.

“Nordresa’s experience designing and integrating electric vehicle systems enables Dana to offer our customers a complete system solution, including fully-integrated e-Axles, battery and powertrain controls and thermal management,” said Dana president and CEO, James Kamsickas.

 “Each of Dana’s customers are at different points on their electrification journey and our strategy remains focused on supporting them with technology and expertise for all vehicle architectures.”

The transition of the powertrain to fully electric requires changes to the propulsion system, power steering, air conditioning compressors, and other accessory systems specifically engineered for battery-electric solutions.
