The Dana Advantage in Modular Systems to Be Highlighted Live and in Cyberspace for '97 SAE

    TOLEDO, Ohio, Feb. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Dana Corporation (NYSE: DCN) will
feature its ability to design and assemble modular systems for vehicular
manufacturers in its booth (No. 2408) at this year's Society of Automotive
Engineers (SAE) International Congress & Exposition February 24-27 at Cobo
Hall in Detroit.
    A modular system is a group of components or subassemblies that work
together and are delivered as an assembled unit.  A chassis module for a
truck, for example, includes the structural frame, driveshafts, axles,
suspension components and brakes.  A "rolling chassis" also includes the
wheels.
    In addition to the live exhibit, information about the show and the Dana
advantage in modular systems will be available on computer screens around the
world.  Dana's SAE '97 page (accessible from Dana's home page at
http://www.dana.com) will highlight the company's decade-long experience
building heavy-duty truck chassis modules and its plans to provide light truck
rolling chassis in Brazil beginning next year.
    Visitors to the internet site can also hear a two-minute audio excerpt
from a speech to a January 23 SAE Executive Breakfast delivered by Dana
Chairman Southwood J. Morcott.  In the address, Morcott discussed changing
relationships between auto suppliers and manufacturers and the need for trust
and respect in business relationships.
    Other links on the site will allow visitors to learn about a new
Dana-designed "Super 27" constant-velocity joint and technology for
information sharing among different product-design computer systems.
Abstracts of five technical papers written by Dana engineers for SAE will also
be available.  In addition, the site links to "Top 10 Things to Do in Detroit"
with information on sports, tourist attractions and restaurants.
    The SAE International Congress & Exposition is the world's largest event
dedicated to automotive engineering.  The 1997 Congress marks the 73rd year
that the event has been held in downtown Detroit.  More than 50,000 attendees
from 70 countries are expected to attend.
