When it comes to building cars, it starts with the parts, and Dana manufactures many of the parts that carmakers use to piece together new vehicles. In addition to its core offerings, which include driveline products (axles, driveshafts, transmissions), it also provides power technologies (sealing, thermal-management products) and service parts. It makes products for vehicles in the light, medium/heavy (commercial), and off-highway markets. Among its largest customers are OEMs such as Chrysler, Ford, GM, Hyundai, and Nissan. The company also supplies companies that make commercial and off-highway vehicles, such as Deere, Navistar, PACCAR, and Sandvik. Customers outside the US account for about 56% of sales.
