Delphi Offers Consumers an Environmentally Friendly Driving Experience

16 June 2000

Engine, Thermal and Energy System Management Systems Reduce Fuel Consumption, Emissions, Global Warming Effects

             
    BRIGHTON, Mich. - Delphi Automotive Systems has merged the high-tech world 
with the natural one by creating a complete portfolio of environmentally 
friendly vehicle systems, many of which offer drivers the added benefit of 
higher performance.  These systems include enablers for future ultra-low 
emission vehicles and zero emission vehicles.  Delphi is showcasing these 
systems, and other advanced technologies, to international consumer and 
automotive journalists at its technical center here today.

    "At Delphi, we're constantly developing technologies that improve the
driving experience -- both from the inside and outside perspective of the
vehicle," said Donald L. Runkle, Delphi executive vice president and president
of Delphi's Dynamics & Propulsion sector.  "In addition to Delphi's products
that improve driver comfort, safety and convenience, our engine, thermal and
energy management systems improve fuel economy and reduce emissions, which
ultimately help reduce the effects of global warming."

    Delphi employs manufacturing processes that reduce dependence on natural
resources and allow for products to be more easily recycled.  Delphi also has
a formal program called "Design for the Environment (DfE)," which evaluates
the environmental impact of new products and processes.

    The environmentally friendly systems developed by Delphi include:

    *  Advanced Engine Management Systems (EMS) -- integrates technologies to
help reduce emissions and improve fuel economy;

    *  Advanced Thermal Management System -- improves the energy efficiency
and helps lower the operating costs of onboard comfort control and engine
cooling systems;

    *  Energen(TM) Energy Management Systems -- a family of systems that
increases the use of electric machines, power electronics and energy storage
devices in cleaner, more efficient power sources; and

    *  E-STEER(TM) -- eliminates many of the conventional mechanical
components of the steering system, reducing mass and energy demands on the
vehicle.

    "Delphi is a long-established leader in environmentally friendly
initiatives," said Runkle.  "This includes component recyclability throughout
the life cycle of all our products, from manufacture to post-use disposal."

    In pursuit of this goal, Delphi has established "Design for Recyclability"
and "Design for Disassembly" programs to help ensure development of products
that meet the environmental needs of customers worldwide.

    Examples include the 100-percent recyclable thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO)
skin instrument panel, which earned Delphi the prestigious 1999 "Recycler of
the Year" award from the Society of Plastics Engineers.  Delphi also validated
an in-plant recycling system for reprocessing the TPO skin up to seven times
without loss of physical properties or performance, permitting the use of
excess material for the instrument panel skins with zero waste.

    Multinational Delphi Automotive Systems, with headquarters in Troy, Mich.,
USA, Paris, Tokyo and Sao Paulo, Brazil, is a world leader in transportation
and mobile electronics components and systems technology.  Delphi's three
business sectors -- Dynamics & Propulsion; Safety, Thermal & Electrical
Architecture; and Electronics & Mobile Communication -- provide comprehensive
product solutions to complex customer needs.  Delphi has approximately 213,000
employees and operates 176 wholly owned manufacturing sites, 41 joint
ventures, 53 customer centers and sales offices and 30 technical centers in 38
countries.
