Delphi Earns Productivity Improvement Awards From Honda of America

    FLINT, Mich. - For the second consecutive year, Delphi Automotive Systems 
plants earned Productivity Improvement Awards from Honda of America.

    Representatives from Honda of America presented the awards to Delphi in a
ceremony today at Delphi's Anderson, Ind., generator plant.  The
representatives from Honda were Tom Lake, assistant manager of purchasing for
Honda of America; Melissa Goubeaux and Pam Heminger, Honda purchasing
coordinators; and Mark Lackey, a Honda buyer.

    Delphi's Fitzgerald, Ga., and Oshawa, Ontario, operations were recognized
for their production of batteries.  The Anderson operation was recognized for
generators, and the Juarez, Mexico, operation for cruise motors.

    To qualify for the award, a supplier must initiate an activity that
results in significant gains in productivity and efficiency.  The supplier
must also have high quality and on-time delivery standards.

    "These awards are testimony to the commitment to produce the highest-
quality products for customers worldwide that all of us at Delphi and Honda
share," said Guy C. Hachey, Delphi vice president and president of Delphi
Energy & Chassis Systems.

    Koki Hirashima, president of Honda of America, said that Honda would be
expecting even more from its suppliers in the future.

    "We want suppliers who can give us not only very outstanding quality and
on-time delivery, but also innovative solutions that can help us outdistance
our competitors," Hirashima said.  "Delphi sets a good example."

    Delphi supplies Honda of America with batteries, generators and cruise
motors for their Accord, Civic, Odyssey and Acura vehicles produced in North
America.
