Delphi Automotive Systems Wins Wiring Contract with Volvo Truck

    WARREN, Ohio, Dec. 9 -- Delphi Automotive Systems
announced today it has won a new business contract to manufacture wiring
harnesses for Volvo Truck North America's Class 8 commercial trucks, beginning
with its current model production.
    Delphi's Packard Electric Systems division will supply main cab and engine
wiring assemblies to Volvo Truck's Dublin, Va., assembly plant, where it
produces its U.S.-version Class 8 heavy-duty, or VN model, trucks.  Volvo
Truck North America, based in Greensboro, N.C., accounted for approximately
11.5 percent share of the North American commercial truck market in 1998.
    Delphi has significantly expanded commercial truck wiring sales over the
last three years, and today is the North American market share leader at
greater than 50 percent.
    "This wiring contract with Volvo Truck marks a significant step in
Delphi's commercial truck growth strategy," said Nick Cassudakis, manager,
sales and engineering, Delphi Packard Electric.  "Volvo Truck is a significant
global player in the commercial truck market and has tremendous growth
potential.  We believe Delphi's innovative, high-quality products will enable
us to develop a successful relationship with Volvo Truck."
    Delphi continues to expand its support of new customers utilizing a
growing portfolio of technologies that have application in other
transportation sectors, such as heavy truck, marine, aircraft and motorcycles.
In addition, Delphi's innovative switch, circuit and connector technologies
are used by non-automotive customers in the entertainment, computing and
mobile electronics sectors.

world leader in automotive component and systems technology.  Delphi's three
business sectors - Dynamics & Propulsion; Safety, Thermal & Electrical
Architecture; and Electronics & Mobile Communications - provide comprehensive
