Truck

Heavy-, medium-, and light-duty mechanical transmissions; heavy- and medium-duty automated transmissions; heavy- and medium-duty clutches; and a variety of other products including gears and shafts, traction control systems, transfer boxes, power take-off units, splitter boxes, gearshift mechanisms, transmissions for off-highway construction equipment, and collision warning systems

Cooper
Cooper is a diversified global manufacturer of electrical products and systems, with brands including Bussmann electrical and electronic fuses; Crouse-Hinds and CEAG explosion-proof electrical equipment; Halo and Metalux lighting fixtures; and Kyle and McGraw-Edison power systems products. As a result of the acquisition of Cooper, Eaton now has a strong competitive position in this segments markets and, with respect to many products, is considered among the market leaders. Principal methods of competition in this segment are product performance, customer and end-user service, quality, brand name, and availability. In normal economic cycles, sales of this segment follow general economic conditions and are generally sensitive to activity in the commercial and residential construction markets, industrial production levels, electronic component production and spending by utilities for replacements, expansions and efficiency improvements.
