 Plant to Feature Latest Technologies, Supply-Chain Integration Capabilities
                         for Increased Customer Focus

    TOLEDO, Ohio, Mar. 29 Dana Corporation
announced today that it plans to break ground for a new 211,000-square-foot
Structural Solutions facility in Longview, Texas.  The facility will support
the General Motors Assembly Plant in nearby Shreveport, La.
    
    The facility is slated to be completed by March of 2002 and will employ
approximately 450 people.

    Dana Chairman and CEO Joe Magliochetti said, "We are pleased to be
expanding and strengthening one of our foundation businesses as we meet our
customer's expectations with a state-of-the-art facility."

    Featuring the latest quality and breakthrough design characteristics, the
facility will include advanced equipment and tooling processes.  Dana will
initiate a "Total Quality System" within the Longview facility to achieve
exemplary quality and continuous improvement.

    Bruce Butcher, vice president of Dana's Structural Solutions Group, said,
"Our approach to this facility is to utilize e-commerce to fully integrate the
complete supply chain, thus improving capital efficiency and customer service.
We will be 100 percent connected to our suppliers, allowing us to be more
flexible in responding to customer needs.  This approach will allow Dana to
eliminate waste and redundancies, while reducing the time necessary to deliver
a complete frame.

    "This facility represents an innovative approach to supply-chain
management and demonstrates our commitment to future programs and continued
growth for Dana Corporation and its Structural Solutions Group," he added.
"It is another example of Dana's commitment to continually improving our
products, systems, and new technologies to provide added value for our
customers."

    The facility will be located on a 69-acre site in the Longview Business
Park, which was developed by the Longview Economic Development Corporation.
The location of the plant is in close proximity to several accredited
technical training facilities, which will provide Dana with solid training
resources and the opportunity to attract highly skilled employees.

    These operations are part of Dana's Automotive Systems Group, a leading
provider of under-the-vehicle integration technologies to automotive
manufacturers worldwide.  The group offers advanced driveline design
solutions, complete integrated systems engineering, and logistics, drawing
upon a combined expertise in the following products:  Spicer(R) axles and

and chassis systems; Nakata(R) steering and suspension systems; FTE(R) brake
and clutch actuation systems; TTC and Tremec(R) transmissions; and all-wheel
