    Charles F. Heine, president of technology development and diversified
products, will explore how drive-by-wire systems will impact future vehicles.
Mr. Heine will address the value, design flexibility, and potential safety
benefits of drive-by-wire.  Mike Laisure, president, Engine and Fluid
Management Group, will discuss how OEMs and suppliers can work together so
both partners can be competitive and profitable.
    "Every year a number of key issues surface at the SAE World Congress. The
driving issue for 2003 is, 'How can the entire industry work together to
deliver great technology?'" Mr. Heine said.  "Technology will not stand still,
and we embrace that challenge.  This is why Dana continues moving forward with
integrated systems and exciting innovations helping to advance safer, more
robust, and environmentally sound vehicles that are not just practical -- but
inspire driving passion."
    In addition to the panel discussions, Dana engineers will present
16 technical papers that showcase some very compelling innovations.  Dana's
contributions feature products and technologies that increase vehicle
durability and efficiency, raise performance, improve passenger comfort, and
control costs.  Dana analytical methodologies outlined in several of the
technical sessions streamline product development and manufacturing, while
closing design gaps to improve quality and speed innovations to market.
    As a leader in engine sealing technologies, Dana will deliver many
technical reports in this field.  During these sessions, Dana will present
vital technologies including multi-layer steel (MLS) cylinder head gaskets
using a Wave-stopper(TM) design for improved reliability, increased
durability, and superior sealing performance.
    Also on the sealing front, Dana will present its Victocor(R) 500 gaskets,
which ensure that the new generation of cleaner diesel engines can endure the
increased temperatures and combustion pressures needed to supply the high
performance consumers demand.  Several technical sessions will focus on
analytical design tools and methodologies developed or enhanced by Dana to
study materials and design performance.  These tools -- such as axial bearing
profiles, predictive material formability, and gear fatigue testing -- allow
for in-depth analysis, providing new insights into more durable components
that play a key role in increasingly advanced automotive systems.
    "Dana technologies impact every major vehicle system, from engine seals to
the entire drivetrain, cooling systems, and advanced electronics," said Mr.
Laisure.  "We know, however, that great products result from true OEM-supplier
partnerships built on sharing knowledge and vision."
    The schedule of Dana technical sessions follows:

    Monday, March 3
    * The Impact of Axial Bearing Profile on Engine Bearing Performance
