Dana (DAN) & Hydro-Quebec Set to Form JV Partnership for EVs
Read MoreHide Full Article
Dana Incorporated (DAN - Free Report) announced a joint venture (JV) partnership with Canada's largest electricity producer, Hydro-Quebec. Per the announcement, Hydro-Québec’s subsidiary TM4 Inc. will supply electric motors, power inverters and control systems to Dana. Additionally, Dana will hold the majority share of TM4 against a payment of CA$165 million (US$127 million) and Hydro-Québec will keep 45% stake.
Established in 1998 by Hydro-Québec, TM4 designs and manufactures electric motors, generators, power electronics and control systems for electric vehicles (EVs), making it suitable for Dana’s range of electric gearboxes and thermal-management technologies for batteries, motors, and inverters. The collaboration will position Dana as the sole provider of complete gearboxes, motor, inverter and thermal-management capability for electrified vehicles.
Per management, the JV will help the company to gain a leading position in mechanical power conveyance and thermal-management technology. TM4’s skilled production of electric motors and its distribution will cater Dana’s customers at the end markets.
Moreover, TM4 has a 50:50 JV with China’s Prestolite Electric Beijing Limited that offers electric mobility solutions throughout China and the ASEAN region (consisting of Southeast Asian nations). This will further strengthen Dana’s footprint in China and its neighboring countries. The company already has a presence in the leading market for EVs through its local, wholly-owned and joint venture companies.
A leading provider of highly engineered solutions, Dana caters to passenger vehicles, commercial trucks and off-highway markets. It also offers industrial and stationary equipment applications.

The Hottest Tech Mega-Trend of All
Last year, it generated $8 billion in global revenues. By 2020, it's predicted to blast through the roof to $47 billion. Famed investor Mark Cuban says it will produce "the world's first trillionaires," but that should still leave plenty of money for regular investors who make the right trades early.
