    "To be competitive in today's marketplace, automotive suppliers must
operate on a global level and provide products where needed.  China is a
growing market where the demand for automotive technology has advanced
exponentially in recent years," said John Leech, vice president for business
development for Dana's Automotive Systems Group.  "China is a key growth
market for Dana, and we are committed partnering with the light- and heavy-
duty vehicle makers alike."
    Dana's full range of highly engineered products - including engine,
transmission, drivetrain, chassis, and vehicle architecture technologies -
will be displayed in Booth E2/D15 Shanghai New International Expo Centre.  For
example, Dana's patented transmission oil cooling systems feature a variety of
flexible designs and configurations to meet exact heat specifications,
packaging constraints, and anti-clogging requirements.
    Other Dana products represented at the show include electronic "window"
gaskets, light-duty beam and banjo axles, one- and two-piece driveshafts,
light-duty engine cradles and modules, sealing systems, fluid products, piston
rings, engine bearings, heat shields, cam covers, and mechanical pumps.
    "Dana is bringing more than a century of automotive expertise, service,
and innovation to the Chinese automotive industry.  Dana is a global company
that understands its customers' local needs," Leech said.  "The future will
offer great opportunities in China, and Dana is prepared to support the growth
of this dynamic market."
    Dana's presence in China includes the recently announced joint venture
with Dongfeng Motor Co. Ltd.  Called Dongfeng Dana Axle Co. Ltd., the new
joint-venture company will support the regional market through 8,000 employees
in three production facilities in Xiangfan and Shiyan, as well as plans for a
research and development center to be established in Wuhan.
    Adding to Dana's footprint in China is ROC Spicer, a facility that
produces passenger-vehicle axle components and driveshafts in Shenyang and
another facility that manufactures axles and differentials in Fujian.  Dana is
also a strategic partner of GETRAG in China, and Dana's Wuxi facility produces

garden applications.  Dana's representative office in Shanghai is committed to
