Dana and Valeo Cooperate on Development of EV Systems
Dana Inc and Valeo have entered into a global cooperation agreement to design and supply 48-volt electric-vehicle (EV) systems for new-mobility applications including low-speed electric and hybrid e-AWD cars. The 1-st solution is planned to be integrated on production cars of a large European car manufacturer early next year.

The systems will come with a Spicer Electrified
e-Gearbox provided by Dana, and a Valeo-produced e-motor and inverter. The new
products offer all elements needed to adapt light-duty motorcars to the use of
electric power and hybridize cars.
Consistent, tuned up and easily integrated in
different types of cars, the advanced product resulting from productive
cooperation of both parties is particularly valuable, as its low-voltage arrangement
makes it budget-oriented and maintenance-friendly.
According to Dana representatives, the
collaboration with Valeo is an amazing chance to give to the market an advanced
e-Propulsion unit that complies with the highest quality standards. Dana
continues to invest in its product portfolio diversification for hybrid and
electric cars.
Valeo, in turn, claims that pairing Dana's e-Gearbox units with Valeo's 48-volt solution facilitated to building of the advanced products, which will promote the rise advent of budget-friendly EVs. This project reinforces Valeo's leadership in low-voltage electrification, as it is expected that the new technology will be incorporated in 1/3 of cars produced around the globe by 2030.
