Davies Craig: Pioneers of Automotive Cooling Since 1971

When it comes to keeping engines at their ideal operating temperature, few names carry more weight than Davies Craig. Founded in Australia in 1971, the brand traces its origins to a single, game-changing idea: replacing the inefficient, belt-driven mechanical fan with a purpose-built electric alternative. Australian engineers Daryl Davies and Bill Craig set out to solve one of the automotive world's oldest thermal challenges, and in doing so, created a product that would reshape an entire industry.

The invention was the Thermatic® Fan — the world's first purpose-designed automotive electric cooling fan. What began as a small Australian start-up grew, through decades of relentless research and development, into one of the most recognized names in vehicle thermal management on the planet. Davies Craig's electric cooling innovations have since become standard features on many of the world's modern production vehicles, a testament to the brand's engineering vision.

A Complete Ecosystem of Cooling Technology

Today, Davies Craig offers a comprehensive range of products centered on one core mission: keeping your engine cool under any conditions. Their lineup spans engine cooling fans, electric water pumps (EWP®), electric booster pumps, digital controllers and Thermatic® switches, transmission and engine oil coolers, and tyre pressure monitoring systems. Each product category is designed to work in harmony, giving enthusiasts and professionals the tools to build a fully optimized cooling system from scratch.

The Thermatic® electric fan range is available in both traditional brushed and advanced brushless motor configurations, covering applications from compact road cars to dedicated motorsport builds. Brushless variants offer outstanding airflow performance with significantly longer service life and a low-profile design that suits tight engine bays. All Thermatic® fans feature fully reversible blades and polarity, allowing them to be configured as either pusher (upstream) or puller (downstream) fans to suit virtually any installation.

Trusted by Enthusiasts and Motorsport Professionals Worldwide

Davies Craig products are a common sight in pit lanes, at hot rod shows, and under the hoods of serious street builds around the world. The brand has built its global reputation through a commitment to quality that is backed by an industry-leading 3-year manufacturer warranty on its fan range — a level of confidence that speaks to the durability and precision of every product they produce. Their electric water pumps, in particular, have become a go-to upgrade for engine conversions, turbocharged applications, and track-day vehicles where consistent coolant circulation is non-negotiable.

Whether you're replacing a worn fan clutch on a classic vehicle, upgrading a high-performance street machine, or engineering a purpose-built race car, Davies Craig provides the cooling solutions to handle the heat.
