Dana Incorporated won the Powertrain Product of the Year Award at the Power Progress Summit in October.
The Spicer eSP502 e-transmission with power take-off was honored in Chicago Oct. 1-2. The award, Dana says, recognizes its commitment to zero emissions.

"Being honored with the Powertrain Product of the Year Award is a special recognition showcasing a commitment to groundbreaking technology and Dana's dedication to a sustainable future," says Craig Price, senior vice president and president of Dana's off-highway drive and motion systems. "This is a truly flexible platform in a compact package — supporting the electrification of construction and material handling applications and merging both driveline and work functions into one powerful system."
The transmission has a dual motor, two-speed powershift transmission with an independently controllable power take-off. That allows for vehicle-level optimization, lowering the total required installed power, Dana says. PTO power is managed by controlled utilization of electromotors, enabling independent operation of work functions and the wheels. The PTO can be disconnected to direct the full installed electromotor power to the drive function.
The Power Progress Awards are judged by an independent panel. Dana has won four previous awards at the summit.
