Delphi Announces $500 Million in Booked Business for Engine Management Systems

Contracts Signed in First Half of 2001, Total More Than Half-a-Billion Dollars TROY, Mich., July 16 Delphi Automotive Systems today announced a significant milestone in the company's effort to grow its engine management systems (EMS) business, globally. In the first half of 2001, approximately $520 million in business was booked with original equipment manufacturer (OEM) customers in various regions of the world. Of this $520 million, approximately $52 million has been previously announced. Engine management is the science of equipping and calibrating an engine to achieve clean exhaust emissions while providing the best possible performance, fuel economy and driveability. "Much of this new business is in Asia Pacific, a region of focus for Delphi," said Guy C. Hachey, vice president of Delphi Automotive Systems and president, Delphi Energy & Chassis Systems. "As a clear leader in EMS development, we are able to work individually with each customer to develop systems that offer solutions to many of the issues in the region: low emissions, fuel economy, vehicle performance, dependability and value." Two new EMS contracts, recently announced by Delphi, include a two-year agreement to supply China Engine Corp. in Taiwan, and a five-year agreement to supply SEM/Dongfeng. "With EMS, we use a 'building-block' approach with customers," said Jose A. Avila, Delphi Energy & Chassis Systems EMS business line executive. "Because of Delphi's significant capabilities and decades of experience in engine management, we are able to supply different technologies such as sensors, control modules and ignition subsystems, that when combined, make up an engine management system which provides a clear solution to our customer, and the consumer." These solutions not only address both regulatory and consumer requirements, but also allow fast adaptation of custom-tailored, cost- effective solutions for the world's diverse market requirements. EMS contracts with various customers can include but are not limited to the following Delphi technologies: * Engine Control Module - designed to measure engine conditions and control vehicle functions * INTELLEK(R) Oxygen Sensor - monitors exhaust gasses exiting the engine * Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor - measures air pressure in the engine intake to determine how much air is passing through the engine * Fuel Pump Module - provides a regulated supply of fuel to the injection system * Fuel Rail Assembly - meters and distributes the fuel into the engine
