Dana Expands SVL Aftermarket Drivetrain Offering for Owners of Older Vehicles

MAUMEE, OH--Feb. 1, 2012 -- Dana Holding Corporation announced today it will extend its SVL aftermarket drivetrain product line to include additional heavy-duty components and, for the first time, light-duty axle components.

SVL products offer quality replacement parts designed specifically for post-warranty vehicles.

Availability of the extended product line is targeted for the second quarter, and will include Dana-approved center support bearings for light-, medium-, and heavy-duty applications, as well as light-vehicle axle shafts and ring and pinion gear sets for all vehicle makes and models.

This is in addition to the existing SVL line of universal joints for the light- and commercial-vehicle markets and ring and pinion gear sets for heavy-duty applications.

"After a successful launch of SVL in 2011, we saw increased demand for reliable light-vehicle drivetrain components," said Mark Wallace, Dana's president of On-Highway Technologies. "Our extended SVL product line will fulfill the market's demand for quality, affordable Dana-supported light-vehicle components, while further supporting the heavy-duty market's needs."

The SVL line is included in Dana's product listing and available for order through customer services representatives.
