Dana announced it had entered into a multi-year commercial sales agreement with Navistar International for driveline components for on-highway, city-delivery, bus, and vocational vehicles.
Through this agreement, Navistar has access to the full range of Dana's current driveline product offerings. Further, Dana will remain the main driveshaft supplier across all Navistar truck models.
"This arrangement will also serve as a platform for collaboration on new technologies under development, bringing the two companies together to cultivate solutions that meet the specific needs of Navistar's customers and increasing industry standards," the pair said in a statement.
Navistar and Dana concurrently launched several extended warranty packages for Navistar's school bus platform and its Durastar medium-duty truck line. Spicer axles, steer axles, and driveshafts are all available components covered under the International Durastar Powertrain Warranty programme. Dana is also offering additional extended warranties on medium-duty truck and bus applications through the Productivity and Assurance packages.
Dana's technologies for engine downspeeding are also available on a select offering of linehaul trucks from Navistar. Dana was first to market with a full system solution to support engines running at lower rpms, generating higher torque stresses on the drivetrain. The company's robust and durable driveline package for downsped engines includes the Spicer AdvanTEK 40 tandem axle and SPL 350 driveshaft.
