MAUMEE,
Ohio, June 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Dana
Incorporated (NYSE: DAN) announced today that its operation in
Birmingham, United Kingdom, has
been awarded a $2.7 million (£2
million) grant to develop an e-Powertrain for OX Delivers —
the world's first flat-pack utility vehicle destined for
emerging markets in Africa.
The OX Delivers truck has been engineered to tackle the toughest
terrain and will be shipped as a flat pack and assembled in the
destination country. The truck is powered by Dana's Spicer
Electrified™ eS4500i e-Drive Unit, which combines an electric
motor, inverter, gearbox, and software in a complete e-propulsion
system.
The grant supports Dana's work industrializing electrified
powertrain technologies and was awarded by the Advanced Propulsion
Centre (APC) — a non-profit organization that facilitates U.K.
government funding to research and development projects supporting
the delivery of net-zero emission vehicles.
"Dana has a guiding vision toward a zero-emissions future that
incorporates sustainable social impact," said Huw Davies, senior managing director of Dana
Light Vehicle Drive Systems in Europe. "The APC's $2.7
million grant advances Dana's development of electrified
technology, driving prosperous trade in rural emerging markets.
We're proud to partner with OX Delivers and grateful for the APC's
support."
