DENSO Hosts News Conference and Exhibit at Frankfurt International Motor Show

New Worldwide President and CEO to Speak at News Conference

TOKYO, Aug. 28 -- DENSO Corporation will exhibit at the Internationale Automobil-Ausstellung (Frankfurt International Motor Show), Hall 6.1, Stand B34, from Sept. 11 to Sept. 21 at the Messe Frankfurt GmbH in Frankfurt, Germany.

On Sept. 10, DENSO's new worldwide president and CEO, Koichi Fukaya, will speak at a 12:30 p.m. news conference, DENSO's first European news conference.

DENSO's exhibit will focus on technology that reduces the impact of cars on the environment. Featured products designed to help stem global warming will include:

* DENSO's 1,800-bar diesel common rail system;

* World's first non-fluorocarbon car air conditioning system, the carbon dioxide (CO2) air conditioner (DENSO's CO2 system, which uses carbon dioxide as refrigerant instead of hydrofluorocarbons such as HFC-134a, offers a promising answer to the European Commission's proposal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. That proposal includes phasing out the use of the refrigerant HFC-134a in new vehicle air conditioning systems);

  *  World's first pre-crash safety system with millimeter-wave radar;
  *  World's first hot gas heater system, and
  *  Navigation systems.

"DENSO has been doing business in Europe for nearly 30 years," said Hiroshi Uchiyama, senior managing director responsible for business development at DENSO Corporation. "The European automobile market is vital to our future growth. Exhibiting new environment-conscious technologies that are important to our customers and to European consumers at the Frankfurt International Motor Show gives us the opportunity to strengthen our relationships with our customers."

In Europe, DENSO operates 32 companies in 13 countries with European consolidated sales for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2003 totaling 274.3 billion yen (US$2.3 billion or 2.1 billion euro).

"As a leading global automotive supplier, our ultimate goal is to create automobile systems that enhance car safety and comfort and reduce the impact of the car on the environment, while at the same time transcending existing product categories and fields," said Uchiyama.
