Dana Corporation to Provide Cam Cover Modules for Ford BARCELONA,
Spain, May 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Dana Corporation announced
today that it has been selected to supply Ford Motor Company with a
new variation of a cam cover module for its 4.0-liter V-6 engine.
The new cam cover module will be used on engines for new
2005-model-year vehicles and represents new, incremental volume
over the cam covers Dana currently provides for the Ford 4.0L V-6
engine. (Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/19990903/DANA )
The announcement was made at the 2004 Federation Internationale des
Societes d'Ingenieurs des Techniques de l'Automobile (FISITA) World
Automotive Conference here. Design enhancements of the new module
and its components help meet NVH demands and deliver lower
emissions for upcoming vehicles. The module incorporates the
gasket, grommets, fasteners, inserts, crankcase ventilation tube,
and oil-fill-spout assembly. Grommets isolate the cover for
improved NVH levels, and improvements have been made to enhance
air-oil separation for decreased emissions. The Victor
Reinz(R)-branded cam cover module, produced at Dana's facility in
Neu-Ulm, Germany, will be supplied to Ford's plant in Cologne,
Germany. "Dana is constantly searching for ways to enhance its
products," said Dana Chairman and CEO Michael J. Burns. "This is a
great example of how Dana engineers have secured incremental
business through clearly understanding and addressing our
customers' needs for improved modularity and environmental
performance." Dana produces these new cam covers with thermoset
materials, which provide excellent heat resistance, while also
delivering the necessary rigidity and strength to accommodate the
long bolt span for this application. Unlike magnesium or aluminum
castings, thermoset modules do not require complex casting,
machining, and assembly operations. Thermoset material also allows
for greater flexibility in design, which results in lower costs and
decreased weight. "Dana is the only company in Europe producing
thermoset cam covers," said Mike Laisure, president of Dana's
Automotive Systems Group. "We recognized the superior qualities of
thermoset materials -- compared to other commonly used materials --
and are pleased to provide this increased value to our customer."
