2254 Dana Holding and 2253 Bosch Rexroth have established 50:50 joint venture that will see the two firms partnering to develop and manufacture advanced powersplit drive transmissions for the off-highway market.

The joint venture is called 5378 Dana Rexroth Transmission Systems and will develop engineers, manufacture and market hydromechanical variable powersplit transmission systems to the global off-highway equipment sector. Hydromechanical variable transmissions (HVT) are important for improving fuel economy, productivity, emissions reductions, and vehicle maneuverability.

Dana and Bosch Rexroth are each contributing staff, intellectual property, and capital to the new joint-venture company, which is based in Arco, Italy. Dana Rexroth Transmission Systems' HVT series are targeted for construction market with the initial focus on wheel loaders and graders with outputs of up to 270kW. Tests on wheeled loaders with the new HVT powersplit systems demonstrate fuel savings in the drivetrain of more than 20% when compared with the same vehicle fitted with a conventional torque converter transmission.
