of front drivetrain and electrification, says the

"We've been in development for a
little over three years now," says Thomas
Healy, founder and CEO of Hyliion.
"Over the past six months or so, we've
begun shipping revenuable units to
fleets. We had some beta test units with
some fleets prior to that."
Dana has been supplying Hyliion with
conventional axles (the S23190) for use
in the Hyliion system. Hyliion then acts
as the total system integrator and software provider. But what started out as
a routine buyer-seller relationship has
blossomed into more. Dana has become
the lead investor in Hyliion's most recent

round of financing.
