2254 Dana has revealed a host of electrified technologies in response to the rapidly evolving development of hybrid- and electric-powered construction equipment.


Consistent with its approach in other vehicle markets, Dana’s strategy enables original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to accelerate their hybrid and electric vehicle development programmes. It starts with a modular approach that combines Spicer electrified hybrid and electric drivetrain solutions into current vehicle architectures with internal-combustion engines.

Dana offers a series of modular hybrid- and electric-drive systems that can fit into existing vehicle designs and provide OEMs with effective, low-risk, quick-to-market solutions. These products can be connected to traditional Spicer wheel drives, track drives, axles, and transmissions to deliver hybrid or electric functionality.

In addition, Dana is also actively developing hybrid and electric drive solutions for numerous wheeled and tracked vehicles in the construction, mining and material-handling industries.

    Advances in transmission technology will help to optimise machine performance – writes Mike Woof. As construction machines have become more sophisticated, so have the transmission systems used in items of equipment. Advances in electronics and software in particular have allowed the development of integrated transmissions. These operate more efficiently and help optimise power delivery from an engine, boosting torque response and cutting fuel consumption and emissions at the same time. The smart electronics
