Customers Look to Delphi for Complete Brake Product Line

16 June 2000

n the first five months of 2000, Delphi sells approximately $2 billion in brake products

   
    FLINT, Mich. - Delphi Automotive Systems continues its trend of strong 
business bookings in its brake product lines.  In the past five months, Delphi 
has captured 20 contracts from three customers, totaling approximately $2 
billion over the contract term.

    The contracts consist primarily of brake modules and also include Delphi's
advanced technology products, such as Traxxar(TM) stability enhancement
system.  Further, Delphi earned a contract for its new product, supplemental
brake assist.  This product assists the OEMs to meet FMVSS-135, a Federal
regulation that requires vehicles to meet minimum brake stopping distance
requirements.

    "The specifics of the contracts remain confidential at the request of our
customers," said Guy C. Hachey, Delphi Energy & Chassis Systems president.
"These contracts reinforce that more and more customers are looking to Delphi
for innovative braking technology.  Automakers are interested in Delphi's
unique ability to integrate controlled braking, steering and suspension for
vehicle safety as well as improved ride and handling."

    "One of Delphi's strengths is our capability to bring innovative
technology to the mass market," Hachey said.  "One of the most visible
examples is the introduction of anti-lock brakes (ABS) as standard equipment
on General Motors entry-level vehicles in the early 1990s.  Our goal is to
work with our customers to bring Traxxar and other stability enhancement
products to consumers in the same way."

    Delphi offers a comprehensive line-up of brake products, including power
brake modules, drum brakes, boosters and master cylinders, electric drum
brakes, electric calipers and anti-lock brake controllers in both motor and
solenoid-based configurations.

    "Delphi is able to deliver what customers want and increasingly that has
been integrated brake modules delivered in assembly sequence to the
automaker's assembly facility," Hachey said.

    Brake corner modules combine all the associated components that are
typically found at each "corner" of the vehicle.  The corner module concept
can be used for both front and rear assemblies in drum or disk brake
configurations.

    "Delphi has significant experience in the automotive brake business,"
Hachey said.  "We pioneered the brake corner concept to improve product
quality and reduce installation effort and have been a leading supplier of
these modules to vehicle manufacturers worldwide since that time."

Mich., USA, Paris, Tokyo and Sao Paulo, Brazil, is a world leader in
transportation and mobile electronics components and systems technology.
