- High-capacity bearing system enabling fast ratios and increased torque throughout the system
- Higher weight-capacity design enables fleets to haul more payload for improved productivity
- Inter-axle differential (IAD) equipped with advanced coatings to better retain lubricant, offering superior protection and extending the life of the drivetrain
- Driver-controlled differential locking in either forward or rear axle allows the driver to enable locking based on the traction requirements, providing added flexibility
- Optional lubrication pump circulates lube in critical areas of the IAD during extreme conditions
The AdvanTEK 40 Pro axle system will be available for ordering in select OEM 2025 data books, Dana says.
