Delphi Wins More Than $2.5 Billion in New Mobile MultiMedia Business

    LAS VEGAS, Jan. 6 -- Delphi Automotive Systems
has received more than $2.5 billion in business orders from seven different
customers around the world for its Communiport(R) brand Mobile MultiMedia
(MMM) technologies.  The company made the announcement here today at the 2000
Consumer Electronics Show.
    "The extraordinary growth of Mobile MultiMedia has exceeded expectations,"
said Dave Wohleen, president of Delphi Delco Electronics Systems.  "The
interest in these technologies by vehicle producers has been very strong.
These manufacturers are acutely aware of how these features and functions
differentiate their vehicles from other cars and trucks.  And even more
important, they understand the evolving demographic transformation of
lifestyles that is creating consumers who not only desire these options in
their vehicles, they expect them."
    Delphi's Communiport products will provide a number of navigation, mobile
computing, communications, entertainment and information functions for
personal and commercial drivers.
    Developing products designed to bring more information, communication and
entertainment into vehicles, Delphi's 18-month-old Mobile MultiMedia Business
Group is building sales across a diverse group of vehicle markets.  The market
for advanced mobile communications applications is projected to capture an
increasing share of the $32 billion automotive electronics market, Wohleen
said.  Specifically, the compound annual growth rate for the MMM market over
the next five years is expected to be 25 to 30 percent.

    MARKET DEMAND FOR MOBILE MULTIMEDIA
    Road congestion is one issue contributing to the need for Mobile
MultiMedia, according to Dr. Robert W. Schumacher, director of Mobile
MultiMedia at Delphi Delco Electronics Systems.  A recent study by the Texas
Transportation Institute showed the average person spends the equivalency of
at least one work week a year in traffic jams.*  "The average American racks
up 14,000 miles per year behind the wheel and in some areas the study showed
drivers spending as much as 82 hours a year in congested traffic," he said.
"The Delphi Communiport(R) line of communications products gives drivers a
host of alternatives as to how they want to use that time most effectively.
In addition, Communiport can actually help reduce the time spent in traffic by
helping the driver navigate routes that have the least congestion."
    Vehicle occupants can hear and receive business correspondence or a
variety of other specialized information and entertainment that cater to
individual interest.  Under the Communiport(R) brand name, Delphi's Mobile
Multimedia applications use an array of technologies that integrate cellular
phone, audio, Internet, navigation, audio/video, personal computers and
displays.  Delphi uses these technologies to design and build console head
units, telematics (technologies using combinations of GPS, microprocessors and
cell phones) and rear entertainment systems products to vehicle makers'
specifications.
    "Delphi's Communiport Mobile MultiMedia System connects the vehicle with
the world around it," Wohleen said.  "With a long history of integrating
systems into vehicles, Delphi is the company that connects technology with the
vehicle.  And our extensive experience in vehicle integration allows us to
integrate these systems ergonomically into vehicles by using convenient and
effective interfaces such as simple console and steering wheel controls, large
bright displays, voice recognition and speech synthesis."
