/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Dana Corporation (NYSE:DCN) has been

) Presented by Automotive News, Capgemini, and Transportation
Research Center Inc., the PACE Award recognizes automotive
suppliers for exceptional innovation in the main categories of
products, manufacturing processes and equipment, and information
technology and services. The Robin Hood software relies on Dana's
Automatic Spatial Perturbation Method, or ASPM, to allow for highly
accurate and rapid analysis of components for optimization of
weight and strength during the "virtual-design" phase. Robin Hood
software is the only known software that can automatically add as
well as remove material from a product as necessary. The software
reduces the size and weight of commercial-vehicle components, while
improving their reliability and durability with the added benefit
of shortening the design cycle. "Being named a finalist for the
PACE Award is always an honor," said Dana Chairman and CEO Michael
J. Burns. "Dana is proud of the people behind this innovative
software package and the commitment they've shown to better serving
our customers." Nick Cole, president of Dana's Heavy Vehicle
Technologies and Systems Group, added, "The Robin Hood software,
which was developed by our own engineers, enables Dana to reduce
costs and component weight at the same time we improve 'speed to
market' and product reliability. Our customers are the ultimate
winners." Dana along with other 2005 PACE Award finalists will
undergo an extensive review process including a site visit by
industry, academic, and business leaders. Award winners will be
announced in Detroit on April 11, 2005. Dana Corporation is a
global leader in the design, engineering, and manufacture of
value-added products and systems for automotive, commercial, and
off-highway vehicles. Delivering on a century of innovation, the
