Delphi Wins $160 Million Business With Major U.S. Automaker



    TROY, Mich., Feb. 19 -- Delphi Corp. will provide
safety restraints systems to a major North American automaker on luxury models
beginning in calendar year 2005.
    Continuing to expand its customer base beyond its former parent company,
General Motors, Delphi was awarded a contract worth an estimated $160 million
to provide safety systems, including driver and passenger airbags, steering
wheels and seat belts to a major customer in North America.  "While focusing
on our current customers' needs, we are also very pleased to supply our award-
wining safety systems to new customers around the world," said James A.
Bertrand, Delphi vice president and president of Delphi Safety & Interior
Systems.
    The safety system that will be provided for this North American auto
manufacturer also includes Delphi's patented Seat Belt Tension Sensing Switch,
which when used in combination with Delphi's market-leading Passenger Occupant
Detection System, assists the vehicle manufacturer in meeting the new FMVSS
208 regulations.  The seatbelts, for front and rear occupants, will be
complemented with Delphi's load-limiting retractors with pretensioners for
improved occupant protection in case of a collision.
    Delphi's safety system approach offers customers an optimized integration
of a wide range of safety system products that provide enhanced occupant
protection, while consistently exceeding customers' expectations.  Delphi's
world-class airbags and safety system components exhibit a variety of patented
features designed to afford maximized occupant protection while helping reduce
the risk of airbag-induced injury.
