Delphi Announces New Executive Appointments

Remenar Elected New Delphi Saginaw Steering Systems President

TROY, Mich., March 14 Delphi Automotive Systems today announced the retirement of Paul J. Tosch, 61, Delphi vice-president and president of Delphi Saginaw Steering Systems. Tosch will conclude his duties May 1, 2002. He will be succeeded by Robert J. Remenar, 46, who was elected Delphi vice president and president of Delphi Saginaw Steering Systems by the Delphi Board of Directors. He will join the division April 1, 2002. Remenar was formerly executive director of business lines at Delphi Energy and Chassis Systems, headquartered in Troy, Mich.

In addition, Paul R. Free, 45, is appointed executive director of business lines at Delphi Delco Electronics Systems, effective May 1, 2002. Free is currently Delphi's chief accounting officer and corporate controller.

``Paul Tosch helped transform several Delphi businesses to improve profitability, develop new technology and strengthen manufacturing systems, health and safety and quality performance. He has held significant leadership posts at three Delphi divisions and several GM operations throughout his career,'' said Donald Runkle, Delphi executive vice president, and president, Dynamics & Propulsion Sector. ``Under his guidance, Delphi Steering introduced technically advanced electric steering and Quadrasteer to the market. Both have been hailed as market leaders, winning PACE Awards for Innovation. We will all miss his personal and professional leadership.''

``Bob has the business knowledge and leadership skills to effectively guide the Delphi Saginaw Steering organization. His energy and commitment to Delphi will help this important division to continue its leadership role in steering products,'' said Runkle.

Paul Free joined Delphi in 1998 and is the company's first chief accounting officer and controller. Free was deeply involved in establishing the accounting systems and processes necessary to enable Delphi to operate as an independent company. Delphi separated from General Motors in a spin-off transaction in May 1999.

``Paul Free has presided over several first-ever events in Delphi's brief history as an independent, publicly-traded company,'' said Alan Dawes, Delphi chief financial officer. ``I'm confident that he will develop even broader management capability as a result of this new assignment.''
