Delphi Fuel Cell Programs Aligned With Bush's 'Freedom Fuel' Initiative

           Battenberg says Delphi will continue leadership position
                           in fuel cell development

    TROY, Mich., Jan. 29 -- The head of Delphi Corp.
said his company will continue to aggressively pursue its efforts to bring
fuel cell technology to passenger, commercial and military applications.
    Following President Bush's "State of the Union" address last night, Delphi
Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President J.T. Battenberg III said that
while Delphi is already a leader among industry-wide efforts to bring fuel
cell technology to market, the Freedom Fuel initiative would help accelerate
the process.
    "We are in full support of the President on his Freedom Fuel initiative,"
Battenberg said.  "It's absolutely vital to promote energy independence for
the United States while improving the environment, and we believe we can be an
important part of the solution.  We have been working on development of fuel
cell technology and welcome a greater collaborative effort between the auto
industry and the U.S. government.  The collaboration could help bring these
alternative fuel source technologies to market even faster."
    Battenberg said Delphi's solid oxide fuel cell technology is currently
scheduled to come to market during the second half of this decade.
    "There is no question that solid oxide fuel technology can make an
economically viable auxiliary power solution," he said.  "The Freedom Fuel
initiative will help greatly toward this end."
    The U.S. Department of Energy has already recognized Delphi as a leader in
developing these alternative fuel sources.  Delphi was one of four teams
selected by the D.O.E.'s National Energy Technology Laboratory in 2001 to help
address ways to increase national energy independence and to help improve the
environment.
