Motorola Merges Automotive and Telematics Businesses to Form the Automotive Communications & Electronics Sector 'ACES'

 New Group to Provide Advanced Automotive Technology and Relentless Focus On
                             Automotive Customers

    NORTHBROOK, Ill., April 18 In a move that reinforces its
commitment to its automotive customers and positions itself for strategic
growth, Motorola today announced the formation of a new automotive
communications and electronics group as part of the Integrated Electronic
Systems Sector (IESS).  The newly formed Automotive Communications &
Electronic Systems Group (ACES) combines the proven competencies of IESS'
successful Telematics Communications Group and its Automotive and Industrial
Electronics Group.  The primary goal of ACES is to bring significantly greater
focus to the automotive customer with a broader portfolio of automotive
electronics solutions, increased collaboration, enhanced communications and a
deep commitment to the automotive industry.
    ACES brings together the Telematics Communications Group's (TCG) expertise
in automotive telematics and software solutions and the Automotive and
Industrial Electronics Group's (AIEG) expertise in powertrain, and chassis and
body electronics to enable the integration of systems and platforms.  This
will allow ACES to leverage full systems capabilities for its common customer
base.
    The ACES Group, will be headed by Marios Zenios, senior vice president and
general manager, formerly general manager of TCG.  Under Zenios will be four
business units: the Automotive & Industrial Electronics Group, led by Tom
Alger, corporate vice president and general manager; the Telematics
Communications Group led by Ray Sokola, corporate vice president and general
manager; the Automotive Communications Systems Business, led by Brian Santoro,
vice president and general manager; and the Systems Platforms & Applications
Business, led by Mike Bordelon, corporate vice president and general manager.
Tony Mampilly, corporate vice president, will be responsible for operations
for the group.
    "The automotive electronics market is taking off in many new directions,
and as a result, customer needs and expectations are greater than ever," said
Zenios.  "By forming ACES, Motorola is demonstrating its commitment to its
customers by delivering the latest technologies more quickly and more
efficiently than our competitors."
    Each group brings with it impressive statistics which, when combined, make
ACES a formidable leader in the automotive electronics industry:  More than
65 million telematics and automotive electronics units have been sold since
January 1999 and approximately $8 billion in awards over the next five years
have been booked.  ACES has over 25 OEM customers and facilities in more than
18 cities and countries.  Motorola is a recognized leader in electronic engine
controls and heavy vehicle applications, and with more than 1.5 million
Telematics units sold since January 1999, it is the recognized leader in the
rapidly growing Telematics car market.  In line with its lead position in
current Telematics technologies, Motorola also is investing heavily in
technology development that is creating advanced networked and entertainment
Telematics car markets.
    With ACES, Motorola stands at the forefront with its ability to be a major
player in the market as the powerful automotive electronics and communications
industries converge.  Motorola is uniquely positioned within the these arenas
to provide its customers with the best, most innovative products, unmatched
customer support, and optimized potential for competitive advantage with the
deepest product portfolio of any single manufacturer of automotive and
communications technologies.
    "We have the best of everything to offer our customers: expertise,
innovation, resources, leadership, and the right products at the right time,"
said Zenios.  "We have the core competencies within ACES to focus on customers
in key product segments -- powertrain, body and chassis, telematics and
communications."
    The formation of ACES is just one step Motorola is taking to provide smart
products and a better life with its embedded electronic solutions that are
designed into our customer's products for the person, home, work team and car.
