HANNOVER, Germany, September 21, 2010 - Dana Holding Corporation (NYSE: DAN) announced today that it has
introduced an all-new mechatronics upgrade to its industry-leading Spicer(R)
CTIS(TM) (Central Tire Inflation System) technology, enhancing mobility for
vocational and government defense vehicles.

Dana's patented CTIS technology product line now incorporates an
industry-first integrated assembly of sensors, connectors, electronic control
unit, and pneumatic control unit that can accommodate a variety of additional
channels of control. The new modular, lighter-weight, and smaller unit also
results in significantly less wiring and enhances ease of installation.

With a press of a button from inside the cab, Spicer CTIS technology
maximizes vehicle mobility by adjusting tire pressure to the optimum
footprint on any terrain. Whether in the desert or at a construction site,
Spicer CTIS technology allows maneuverability in soft, sandy soil and other
unpaved surfaces.

Available factory-installed, Spicer CTIS technology uses a series of
electro-pneumatic controls to feed air supplying the brakes and other
on-board systems to the wheel ends as required to regulate tire pressure.
Available on a wide range of heavy-truck models and configurations, the
system can regulate tire pressures on steer, drive, and trailer axles.

Accommodating both load and terrain selections, Spicer CTIS technology
enables vehicles to operate effectively across a wide variety of conditions.
The highway settings allow for high-speed travel on paved surfaces, the
off-highway settings permit operation on unpaved surfaces, and the emergency
settings provide extremely low tire pressure to help free a stuck vehicle or
take on grades and other extreme conditions that previously were impossible
to negotiate without assistance.

"Reliability and flexibility were the key factors in designing the Spicer
CTIS technology. Whatever the operating environment, this system offers
improved mobility, enhanced efficiency, and reliable performance," said Jim
Beverly
, Dana chief engineer of advanced chassis control systems. "What's
more, this new innovation features reduced weight, size, and complexity."

The Spicer CTIS technology can be used as an alternative to all-wheel
drive (AWD) in many vocational truck applications, delivering reduced
life-cycle costs and increased payload through the elimination of 450
kilograms (1,000 pounds) of weight.

technologies from Dana, at the IAA Commercial Vehicle Expo (Hall 17, Booth
B27) in Hannover, Germany, through Sept. 30, 2010.
