    "Delphi is a pioneer in the exhaust emission industry and continues to
position itself as a leading supplier of exhaust emission systems in key
regions of the world," said Guy C. Hachey, vice president of Delphi Automotive
Systems and president, Delphi Energy & Chassis Systems.  "We can offer our
global customers experience and engineering expertise, a complete range of
integrated services and the highest quality custom-designed components."
    Delphi also offers its customers solutions for the entire engine
management system, from the flow of air and fuel into the engine to the
combustion processes through the exhaust system.
    "By leveraging Delphi's expertise in hot end exhaust aftertreatment and
engine control systems, we can provide customers with integrated emission
solutions which in the end, result in low vehicle cost," said Jeffrey M.
Krause, Delphi Energy & Chassis Systems business line executive for fuel
handling & exhaust systems.  "Delphi is constantly working to link the
converter and catalyst design with the engine management system for an
optimized emissions solution."
    Delphi exhaust emission technology includes the following:
    *  Catalytic Converters - Catalytic converters make vehicles more
environmentally friendly and help meet low exhaust emissions requirements.
The engine exhaust gas is collected in the exhaust manifold and routed through
a catalytic converter system before it leaves the tailpipe.  Delphi
manufactures various types of converters for both gasoline and diesel
applications including seamless designs for close coupled and under-floor
locations.  Having pioneered the converter industry in the 1970s, Delphi is a
clear leader in terms of durability and performance.
    *  Catalysts - The catalyst inside the converter facilitates the chemical
reactions that change the potentially harmful compounds (primarily
hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and oxides of nitrogen) into less harmful
gases.
