Streamlining replacement part supply chains for commercial fleets, Dana signs a major distribution agreement with VIPAR Heavy Duty.

Dana Incorporated has finalized a North American distribution agreement with buying group VIPAR Heavy Duty, expanding regional market access for its commercial vehicle product portfolio.
