Elite Honors at T50 Summit
This week, Dana received two awards from the organizers of the T50 Summit of the World Construction Machinery Industry, an annual meeting of leading Chinese and global construction equipment manufacturers. 

The Spicer^® HVT2 hydromechanical variable transmission was honored with the "Top 50 Best Application Award," while Dana's Marcus King was recognized as one of the T50 Summit's "Managers of the Year." 

Spicer HVTs significantly reduce fuel consumption by decreasing engine speeds throughout the duty cycle and also at idle, when speeds can drop to as low as 600 rpm.  Application analysis demonstrates the possibility of further savings without compromising performance through engine downsizing.

In production since 2015, the Spicer HVT2 is engineered for reach stackers, motor graders, empty container handlers, reach stackers, and other material-handling applications.

King is vice president of Dana off-highway global sales, business development, strategy, and program management, and he is the leader of all Dana business units in China.
