Technologies from Dana Holding Corporation (NYSE: DAN) are enabling award-winning vehicles and engines to operate at peak efficiency and performance. The company's technologies are prominent on the 2014 Motor Trend Car and Truck of the Year, the North American Car and Truck of the Year, the Green Car of the Year, and six of this year's Ward's 10 Best Engines. Dana's innovative technologies help automakers increase overall vehicle performance and efficiency by maintaining optimum operating temperatures and reducing noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH), ensuring a great driving experience for consumers. "The demand for fuel efficiency and performance are the top drivers in today's market. Dana's technologies are designed to specifically address the weight, space, noise, and performance concerns of our OEM customers, while enabling a quieter and more efficient ride for the everyday driver," said Roger Wood, Dana president and chief executive officer. "The number of award-winning vehicles that contain Dana's innovations demonstrates the standard we set for our products, as well as the dedication of the people who design and manufacture them." Dana technology is featured on the Motor Trend Car of the Year, the Cadillac CTS. On the HFV6 3.0L and HFV6 3.6L LY7 engines, the technology includes Dana's Victor Reinz® cylinder head gaskets, exhaust and secondary gaskets, intake manifold gasket, heat shields, and valve seals, while the Gen IV 6.0L - LSA engine includes Dana's heat shields and exhaust manifold gaskets. These technologies reduce oil consumption, improve noise, vibration, and harshness, and help protect engine components from extreme temperatures, while ensuring the highest durability. This year's Motor Trend Truck of the Year, the 2014 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel, features a Spicer® rear driveshaft, Victor Reinz exhaust gaskets, and Long® active warm-up technology, which significantly lowers fuel consumption and emissions by enabling engines to quickly reach optimum operating temperatures. The Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, the 2014 North American Car of the Year, includes a variety of Dana technologies, such as Victor Reinz exhaust gaskets, secondary gaskets, and heat shields that suppress noise and protect from extreme heat with improved durability. Additionally, the vehicle includes Dana's Long brand transmission oil cooler, differential oil cooler, and engine oil cooler, which help to effectively manage heat to ensure optimum operating conditions and long-term durability. Dana also is featured on 2014 North American Truck of the Year, the Chevrolet Silverado. The newly redesigned truck includes Dana's Victor Reinz ® heat shields, which provide a three-layer construction to protect against extreme temperatures and suppress noise. On the heavy-duty versions of the Silverado, Dana's Long transmission oil cooler helps to manage heat and ensures long-term durability for the pickup.
