KALAMAZOO, Mich., Feb. 19, 2007 – Dana Corporation’s Commercial Vehicle Systems group will showcase SmartWave™ TPMS tire pressure monitoring system at the Wireless Fleet 2007 conference in Miami, Feb. 20-21. The event will focus on the implementation and use of wireless and mobile technology in commercial fleets.

SmartWave TPMS, resulting from the marketing agreement between Dana and SmarTire Systems Inc., is a real-time electronic system that measures air pressure and temperature within tires, and wirelessly sends that data to a receiver mounted on the vehicle. The data may also be used to inform fleet managers of tire-related issues by linking through a telematics system. SmartWave TPMS provides a platform for future sensing capabilities that will give fleet managers the ability to receive real-time, off-vehicle information from a host of additional vehicle functions. SmartWave TPMS is the latest product in Dana’s extensive portfolio of tire pressure management solutions.

Dana and certain of its U.S. subsidiaries are operating under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code as debtors in possession. Information about the bankruptcy proceedings can be found at http://www.dana.com/reorganization. While Dana continues its reorganization under Chapter 11, investments in its securities are highly speculative. Although shares of Dana common stock continue to trade on the OTC Bulletin Board (OTCBB) under the symbol "DCNAQ," the trading prices of the shares may have little or no relationship to the actual recovery, if any, by the holders under any eventual court-approved reorganization plan. The opportunity for any recovery by holders of Dana common stock under such reorganization plan is uncertain and shares of Dana common stock may be cancelled without any compensation pursuant to such plan.
