MAUMEE,
Ohio, Jan. 30, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Dana
Incorporated (NYSE: DAN) announced today that it will launch a
hydrostatic driveline for telehandlers in North America. The system's modular
architecture enables customers to easily transition to a hydrogen
or battery-electric vehicle design. The new driveline will be
showcased at the CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2023 tradeshow held in
Las Vegas from March 14-18.
Developed for telehandler applications lifting up to 12,000
pounds, Dana's new driveline comes equipped with a compact
Spicer® 312 dropbox for high-power hydrostatic motors.
This new hydrostatic dropbox functions as a continuously
variable transmission without torque interruption and delivers
enhanced performance with precise movements at low speeds, reduced
fuel consumption, and an integrated spring applied hydraulic
release parking brake.
The transmission is designed to be coupled with the field-proven
Spicer® 222 front and rear heavy-duty axles, which each
feature a limited-slip differential and provide the customer with
maintenance-free brakes. The complete driveline system is
optimized for efficiency as well as noise, vibration, and
harshness.
"Dana has more than 40 years of expertise designing and
implementing hydrostatic transmission solutions for diverse
applications across the off-highway market," said Jeroen Decleer,
senior vice president of Dana Off-Highway Drive and Motion Systems.
"Our new hydrostatic driveline offers operators an
easy-to-use solution with increased performance and efficiency at
low speeds. This makes it an ideal fit for use in the North
American telehandler market and its modular approach gives
customers the flexibility to make the transition to a
zero-emissions solution."
In order to support the industry's transition to zero-emission
vehicles, Dana optimized the axles and driveline system for
efficiency to support a variety of architectures, allowing
customers to retain the same driveline solution while choosing
between implementing a hydrostatic dropbox or electrically driven
design.
From single-and two-speed dropboxes to shift-on-fly and
powersplit transmissions, Dana offers a complete range of
hydrostatic transmissions that enable customers to leverage the
best solution for their specific vehicle's duty-cycle
requirements.
