21 January 1998

Visteon Automotive Systems and AlliedSignal Will Deliver TurboGenerator(TM) To Give Customers Access to Affordable On-site Power

    DEARBORN, Mich., Jan. 21 -- In a move that will help power
the future, Visteon Automotive Systems and AlliedSignal Power Systems Inc.
announce today a strategic alliance to design, develop and manufacture
AlliedSignal's TurboGenerator(TM) Power System.
    The TurboGenerator is a cost-effective alternative to purchasing
electricity from the power grid.  The portable power unit has applications for
convenience stores, restaurants, health clubs, dry cleaners, and any business
with power demands between 40 and 500 kilowatts.
    "For business owners who want to reduce their energy bill and still have a
reliable electricity supply, the TurboGenerator is the smartest choice,"
stated Tony Prophet, president of AlliedSignal Power Systems Inc.
    The alliance is Visteon's first significant business venture in a market
outside the automotive industry.  Visteon's Power Electronic Control System
and related electrical controls will be the "brain" of the TurboGenerator.
This brain will serve as the electrical interface that assesses and manages
the flow of power in response to customer need.  AlliedSignal will be
responsible for mechanical parts production, final assembly and test.
    Visteon's Power Electronic Control System is one of many technologies that
Visteon is tailoring and targeting for applications outside of the automotive
industry.  "This represents Visteon's commitment to leveraging its expertise
and experience in a wide variety of markets outside of the automotive
industry," said Craig Muhlhauser, vice president, Global Marketing, Sales and
Service, Visteon.  "This alliance is a tremendous opportunity because it
enables us to apply our technological capabilities to help make our customer
AlliedSignal even more successful and provide us access into a new market."
The alliance is expected to produce as much as $400 million in revenue for
Visteon through 2002.
    Visteon's leading-edge electric vehicle technology, which will be used in
the TurboGenerator, made the choice a natural for AlliedSignal.  "We are
extremely excited to work with Visteon to bring the TurboGenerator to the
market," said Prophet.  "Visteon's experience and technological expertise made
the choice easy for us.  Our two companies share a similar spirit and
commitment to excellence that promises to bring the best product to the
market."
    Unlike conventional gas turbines, the TurboGenerator uses AlliedSignal's
proprietary air foil-bearing technology, rather than oil lubricants.  With
only one moving part -- a single shaft on which the compressor, turbine and
generator are mounted -- the TurboGenerator achieves greater reliability,
quieter operation, lower vibrations and reduced maintenance costs.
    AlliedSignal has formed alliances with Unicom, Sonat Energy Services,
Mercury Electric Corporation and Energis Resources to sell and service the
TurboGenerator in the United States, Canada and Argentina.  AlliedSignal also
recently announced that Honeywell will be the authorized service provider for
the TurboGenerator.
    Visteon, an enterprise of Ford Motor Company , has 78,000
employees located in 74 plants, including 29 joint venture facilities, and 30
sales offices, engineering and technical centers in 19 countries around the
world.
    AlliedSignal Power Systems Inc. is a subsidiary of AlliedSignal Inc.
, an advanced technology and manufacturing company serving
customers worldwide with aerospace and automotive products, chemicals, fibers,
plastics and advanced materials. AlliedSignal Inc. is based in Morristown,
N.J.
