Dana Signs Deal to Supply Paccar
Details of the deal, including the term, were not disclosed, but a Dana press release indicated the company, based in Toledo, Ohio, will supply steer axles, drive axles, brakes, driveshafts and steering shafts as standard equipment on Paccar’s Kenworth and Peterbuilt Classes 6-8 trucks.
This means that, unless a customer specifies otherwise, the parts listed will be made by Dana.
“Dana is proud to continue its long-term relationship with Paccar,” said Rick Clayton, president of Commercial Vehicle Systems, a Dana subsidiary. “We continue to be committed to providing innovative products through advanced technology and responsiveness to customer needs. We are pleased to bring this level of product quality and professional service to Paccar and its customer base.”
“This supply agreement reflects the industry trend toward closer cooperation between OEMs and component suppliers to provide enhancements in improving vehicle performance,” said Gary Moore, senior vice president of Paccar.
