Dayco has added to the constant and daily improvement of the existing lines, the development of a new, highly innovative range of products: the air springs, produced by Vibracoustic/ Aircruise, a German premium brand, market leader in the production of this type of components.
The range, introduced for the first time at the Autopromotec Show 2013 of Bologna (Italy), includes 400 part numbers, marketed under the brand name “Aircruise powered by Dayco”, and covers the main European and Asian applications (Iveco, Man, Volvo, Byd, Samro, etc).
Air Springs are widely applied in the Heavy Duty product segment: trucks, buses and trailers.
The basic structure of the new Dayco Air Spring catalogue 2013 is similar to the structure of all Dayco catalogues: the first part describes the component applications by brand/model; the second is focused on illustrations of the product, while the third and fourth parts provide a detailed framework of the cross references with the major world manufacturers, as well as OE/OES/Aftermarket part numbers. The purpose is to maintain continuity with the Dayco brand and to make the product easy to use for the usual readers of our catalogues, who discover the air spring product for the first time.

For further information and explanations on the product, we are expecting you at the Autopromotec Show of Bologna (Italy), Hall 16, Stand C52.

Dayco TV is the name of the new video space on Dayco’s Website.

A first section includes a series of technical films that Dayco makes available to automotive repairers, which illustrations step by step how to install correctly the components of the primary and auxiliary transmission, in particular timing belts, auxiliary belts, fixed and automatic tensioners, and how to use specific instruments that greatly help simplify the belt replacement procedure - TOOL6 Dayco for elastic Poly-V belts.

A second section of Dayco TV is dedicated to corporate films that help the viewers increase their awareness of Dayco’s world. The 2012 video, for example, filmed in Dayco plants between the United States and Italy, draws inspiration from Socrates’ quote “Let him who would move the world first move himself” to tell how the people, men and women, who work from the USA to China, from Australia to Europe, have become the protagonists of this company which produces millions of transmission systems worldwide, allowing millions of people to move 24 hours a day in any condition.

Enjoy the show on Dayco TV !

The 8th Shanghai Automechanika successfully ended last December, 14th , counting a new record of visitors, more than 70.000, with 16% growth compare to the previous edition.

Through the platform of Automechanika, Dayco promoted its company image, communicating to all distribution levels about its products, its large worldwide presence in original Equipment, and its service offer.

Year 2012 has been meaningful for Dayco : several car manufacturers appointed Dayco as OE supplier for new projects : FORD, VW, PSA. This is the result of the advanced internal knowledge and the highly professional job made by the OE department.

At the same time, the Aftermarket  introduced  new product lines into the Chinese market : distribution kits and single tensioners, completing the existing offer of belts.  

Dayco timing kit meets the need of the garage and the car owner,  giving the best solution or a complete and professional maintenance of the power transmission system.

The success of Dayco comes not only from the complete, high quality product range offered, but also from the capacity to assure to the customers a good service, technical support and commercial support.

Through the Automechanika Shanghai, Dayco China deeply built more cooperation opportunity within the domestic market. The relationship between Dayco and its distributors is a real partnership, to assure a win-win situation.

During the Automechanika, Mr. Zhou accepted the interview of car media, giving his professional point of view about the market and the trend of the transmission system development. Dayco’s  aim is to provide the best solution for keeping vehicles running safely and lasting longer.

(January, 2013)

The Chengdu National Auto Parts Show was held on 22nd November 2012. Despite the cold weather, a lot of people, coming from every part of China, have visited the exhibition.
Under the lead of Mr. Eric Zhou - Director AM China - all the Dayco Aftermarket team were there to deal with potential customers and support the launch of the new product line: Timing belt kit.

“We are here to listen to your needs” is our motto,
“We are here to make your repair much easier” is our spur, said Mr. Zhou.

Distributors and mechanics were very interested in our product lines, raising questions about Dayco’s range offer and technical information, keeping the Sales and Product Management team very busy.

At Dayco booth we also showed the “model of the transmission system” underlining the skill of Dayco to supply the entire power transmission system and fulfill all demands from potential customers that can find all components on Dayco online catalogue.

(November 2012)

During the 2012 Automechanika show in Frankfurt which ended recently, Dayco presented the new 2013 Dayco Heavy Duty catalogue, and showcased the new Dayco film. The large number of visitors to the Dayco stand had the opportunity to watch the new Dayco film that explains the philosophy and passion of Dayco the Global Brand in research and continuous advancement for new technology. The visitors could also interact with the Dayco world in the new exhibiting space created by Kube Libre in association with Madsign.

The film. “Who wants to move the world, first has to move himself”.

Shot in the United States and in Italy, the film, produced under the creative direction of Luciano Nardi, describes in an interesting manner, the continuous search of the company which, like man, is compelled to “move itself” to become better, day after day.
The creative idea was inspired by Socrates’ statement: “Who wants to move the world, first has to move himself”. This impulse was heavily “felt” by a company that is in continuous evolution to excel itself, and to be more advanced in the search for new innovating solutions.
This is how the people, men and women, who work from the USA to China, from Australia to Europe, became the protagonists of this company which produces millions of transmission systems worldwide, to allow millions of people to move 24 hours a day in any condition.
A guarantee of reliability that is essential to move safely on a daily basis.

The direction was entrusted to Filippo Chiesa and Matthew Brown under the executive creation of Luciano Nardi whilst the original music was composed by Flavio Ibba for Red Rose.
The film was produced by KuBrick Production for Kube Libre.

The stand.
The concept of movement was reflected in the sinuous and soft shapes of the structures and stands out through its lightness and transparency, obtained with a new backlit material designed by FabricImages. This has allowed the creation of curved surfaces and exceptionally light design spaces.

Dayco has chosen the important international platform of Automechanika in Frankfurt, to introduce the 2013 edition of the Heavy Vehicle catalogue.
The existing range has been complemented with 103 codes relating to 300 vehicles which cover more than 97% of the European circulating fleet.
In addition to the extension of existing product families, two new product lines should be mentioned:  

V-belt SETS and water pump repair KITS.

The new VEE sets result from the technical requirement to obtain a correct coupling of calibrated belts on multi-belt driveline components.
VEE sets are marked with the initials “2X” which allow an easy identification in the catalogue.
The repair kits for water pumps reflect Dayco’s philosophy of placing customer service at the core of its activity. With this new kit, the customer can benefit from an additional repair tool for heavy vehicles.
The repair kits are identified by the initials RKDP followed by a number that correspond to the water pump number (E.g.: RKDP100, repair kit for DP100 ).
The new catalogue can be downloaded on line from the website www.daycocatalogue.com.
Range and quality dedicated to professional repair shops!

We are expecting your visit in Frankfurt, Hall 3.0, Stand A71 .

Welcome to Bologna

This year again, Dayco will be in the front line at the Autopromotec Fair of Bologna, the most important Italian event in this sector.  This will be the occasion for Dayco to introduce the 2012 edition of the Auto and Scooter catalogues and the on-line version of the first Agri catalogue.

The new catalogues have recently undergone graphic restyling and their contents have been greatly improved.

Unlike the previous editions, it will now be possible, for example, to check the generation of each vehicle and look for the matching component. The number of indexed codes has been increased from 3000 to 3400 with a significant boost of the kits percentage. The overall number of applications has also increased - from 67.754 to 83.968 - in particular those referring to the Asian range, mainly from Japan and Korea, which are increasingly present on the European market. An important step towards a complete offering, which already reaches 97% and covers all the world manufacturers.

In the Scooter catalogue, the codes have increased from 143 to 285, to fulfil an ever growing demand, in particular for Kevlar belts. Not forgetting the sections dedicated to Quads and Snowmobiles that were further developed in terms of codes – over 50 new items – and applications in comparison with the previous range.

The Agri catalogue introduces the main product novelty. A line exclusively dedicated to tractors, with powers ranging from 70 to 390 hp. Dayco has dedicated a lot of time to the development of this catalogue, in order to meet the requirements of a sector which, even if highly specialised, is quite fascinating.

All catalogues can be consulted on line on the Dayco Web Catalogue. We expect your visit in Bologna !
