Delphi Automotive Systems Uses Year 2000 Rollover To Test Secured Worldwide Connectivity Capabilities

                  Company Reports No Y2K-Related Disruptions

    TROY, Mich., Jan. 3 -- Delphi Automotive Systems
announced they used advanced technology to ensure secured worldwide
communications to monitor operational status during the Y2K rollover.
    The technology aided Delphi in monitoring, on a real-time basis, all of
its critical systems and operations around the globe as the year ended and
facilities began operating in the new year.
    "With more than 350 Delphi facilities spread in over 35 countries, this
technology enabled all of our sites, without exception, to report their Y2K
status on a regular basis during the transition," said Delphi Y2K Program
Director Tulip Shah.
    The company is using global remote access over the Internet using secure
ID authentication to handle communications through a combination of the
company's Intranet and the public Internet infrastructure.  Five hundred users
have an electronic secure ID card that transmits a new access code every
minute.  In the event that Delphi's Intranet is not accessible, users can
access Delphi's internal web-based reporting application via the Internet
using the access code and user identification code.
    "We are very pleased with our success at this point," stated Shah.  "Prior
to our implementation, we had not tested this level of secured, global
connectivity.  This event lays the foundation for our IT and future e-business
strategy."
    "As of today, Delphi has not experienced any disruptions of business due
to the year 2000 rollover.  We have completed our initial analysis of start-up
and have no reports of systems failure from any of our sectors or regions,"
said Shah.
    Shah also noted that because of light traffic and no reports of problems
at facilities, Delphi was able to idle eight of its 13 command centers
temporarily.  He added that Delphi is not letting its guard down yet, as
command centers will continue to monitor facility and production activities
during the next few days.
    Delphi Vice President of Purchasing Ray Campbell said that Delphi's
suppliers are also operating normally as of today.  "We have successfully
completed our start-up runs and have had a number of our tier one suppliers
confirm successful start-ups at their operations as well," he said.
    Campbell said Delphi will have to continue to monitor suppliers until
deliveries are made on time and on spec; however, the company does not expect
any supplier to have problems meeting requirements.
     Delphi Automotive Systems with headquarters in Troy, Mich., USA, is a
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
product solutions to complex customer needs.  Delphi has approximately 201,000
employees and operates 168 wholly owned manufacturing sites, 38 joint
