Dana Incorporated has introduced the Spicer Electrified with TM4 e-Hub Drive, a fully integrated electro-mechanical system for heavy-duty mining and construction applications that leverages Dana’s leading portfolio of vehicle electrification technologies.

Designed for underground mining trucks, large wheel loaders, and reach stackers, this e-Hub drive integrates proven heavy-duty Spicer axle expertise, Brevini planetary drive designs, TM4 electric motor technology, and Dana’s advanced control expertise into a single package that delivers efficiency, reliability, and performance.

Currently in pre-production field testing with vehicle manufacturers, the e-Hub drive is scheduled to be ready for production by the end of next year.
“The ultimate measure of hybrid and electric technologies is their ability to meet the rigorous performance expectations of off-highway vehicles at the work site,” said Christophe Dominiak, chief technology officer for Dana. “This e-Hub drive illustrates how rapidly and effectively Dana has capitalized on our strategy to produce hybrid and electric propulsion solutions that perform in the harshest work environments anywhere in the world.”
