Dana’s third-generation AdvanTEK 40 Pro axle is designed for efficiency, durability and fuel economy in Clas 8 trucks. With OEM integration and performance in mind, the axle supports engine down speeding with one of the lowest ratios available in the NA market. Compared with conventional cover designs, the AdvanTEK 40 Pro axle features Dana’s Venturi-style cover, offering a truly maintenance free feature that ensures proper lubrication throughout operation. The axle offers 16 available gear ratios, giving fleets and manufacturers greater flexibility when specifying trucks for a wide range of applications.

Key features include:

  • Supports up to 1,950 lb.-ft. of engine torque
  • Rated for 145,000 lb. GCWR
  • 16 available gear ratios, among the broadest coverage in its class
  • One of the lowest numerical ratio in the NA market, enabling engine down speeding for improved efficiency
  • Driver-controlled differential locking in forward or rear axle, allowing drivers to enable locking based on traction requirements for added flexibility
  • Venturi-style cover that ensures proper lubrication without complex lubricant management systems

Already adopted by major OEM’s and available for spec’ing into new truck orders, the AdvanTEK 40 Pro axle delivers the durability and efficiency fleets expect from Dana’s next-generation driveline technology to maximize uptime and lower total cost of ownership.
