Dana Chairman and CEO Michael J. Burns said, "Dana is supporting
fuel-cell development programs for a wide range of customers in the
residential, commercial, portable power, and transportation industries.
Through our development agreements and strategic partnerships, we're
participating in the efforts that will lay the foundation for the mass
production of fuel cells in the future."
The Dana display at the Hannover Fair will demonstrate new developments
in bipolar plates, seals, and end caps for fuel-cell stacks. Dana has
developed a proprietary, cost-effective manufacturing process to produce
joined bipolar plate assemblies in either stainless steel or molded carbon
materials with integrated seals and connectors. Dana believes this process
is the first of its kind for mass-producing fuel-cell components, and it
overcomes a major hurdle on the road to commercialization.
Also on display will be products for the fuel-cell balance of plant,
such as heat exchangers and condensers; electric pumps; control valves; and
reformer-based fuel-processor components.
"Few suppliers have the technical depth and resources to develop
bipolar plates as well as an established manufacturing system to back it
up," said Heinz-Ubbo Eilks, president of Dana's Thermal Products Group.
"Dana has the expertise to bring together the enabling solutions needed to
make this environmentally friendly technology both feasible and cost
effective."
Based in Toledo, Ohio, Dana Corporation is a leading supplier of axle,
driveshaft, engine, frame, chassis, and transmission technologies. Dana
people design and manufacture products for every major vehicle producer in
the world -- in the automotive, commercial vehicle, and off-highway
markets.
