Delphi Earns New Wiring Business With Mack Trucks, Inc.
    WARREN, Ohio, May 3 -- Delphi Automotive Systems Corp.
recently won a contract to provide wiring for Mack Trucks, Inc.'s
entire fleet of Class 8 heavy-duty trucks, Delphi announced.
    Delphi's Packard Electric Systems division will design and build wiring
harnesses for Mack.  The heavy truck manufacturer's Class 8 truck production
was around 33,000 units in 1998.
    "Delphi's innovative power and signal distribution system (PASDS) products
are a natural fit for the heavy-duty truck market, and our positive reputation
in the truck industry continues to grow," said Nick Cassudakis, manager,
international operations, Delphi Packard Electric.  "This new business package
with Mack increases our commercial truck market share lead for PASDS to
43 percent in North America and 22 percent globally."
    The Mack wiring harnesses are assembled at Delphi Packard Electric's Rio
Bravo Electricos I facility in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, and many of the
components that make up the harnesses are manufactured at the Ohio and
Mississippi Operations.
