Delphi Debuts Integrated Safety System at SAE 2000

                      Customers Embrace New Category --
               Award Delphi $3 Billion in ISS Contracts in 1999


    DETROIT, March 6 Delphi Automotive Systems
booked $3 billion in new business last year for the 50 technologies that make
up the company's Integrated Safety System(C) (ISS) portfolio, officials
announced today at SAE 2000.
    The average length of the contracts is five years.  The 50 technologies
are a combination of current and near-term products, including advanced
electronics, microcontrollers, sensors and by-wire technologies.
    Delphi debuted its ISS concept today at the Society of Automotive
Engineers (SAE) 2000 World Congress (exhibit #1829).  The company will begin
marketing ISS to vehicle manufacturers as a framework for providing integrated
safety solutions made possible by Delphi's broad array of technology, said
J.T. Battenberg III, Delphi chairman, chief executive officer and president.
    "At Delphi, we see the future of automotive safety as an integrated,
vehicle-systems approach," said Battenberg.  "ISS is an all-inclusive,
vehicle-wide safety design geared to reduce vehicle collisions, enhance
occupant protection and assist post-crash rescue efforts.  The goal is to
provide enhanced occupant protection throughout virtually every moment of the
driving experience -- including normal, warning, collision-avoidable,
collision-unavoidable and post-event driving states," he said.
    Battenberg said ISS is not an "off-the-shelf" system.  While the fully
realized vision of ISS includes the use of all 50 technologies, OEMs --
depending on program needs -- may select only some of them.  The more ISS
technologies used, the more the system will help provide enhanced protection,
he said.
    Customer confidentiality agreements prevent Delphi from specifying
specific applications for the $3 billion in new ISS business announced today.
Highlights of technologies purchased through these contracts include:
    -- Forewarn(R) Collision Warning Systems;
    -- EyeCue(R) Head-Up Display;
    -- TraXXar(TM) vehicle stability enhancement system;
    -- MagneRide(TM) controlled suspension technology;
    -- Dynamic Body Control, advanced chassis system providing interactive
       control of roll angle during cornering;
    -- QUADRASTEER(TM) Four-Wheel Steering System for added stability at
       higher speeds;
    -- Head/Torso and Side Airbags; and,
    -- Seat belt pretensioners and hypertensioners.

    "Our new business booked in this category last year indicates tremendous
demand for the technology we have to offer," Battenberg said.  "While it is
still early to identify a growth target for the segment, all indications point
to what is likely to become a phenomenal growth opportunity for companies
positioned to help OEMs provide their customers with a complete safety
solution."
