Delphi Invests in Coopersville, Mich., Facility

    FLINT, Mich., Aug. 11 Delphi Automotive Systems
will invest $7.8 million in its Coopersville, Mich., operations to
begin production on the Multec 3 fuel injector and the Multipoint Flexible
Injection system (MFI).
    Delphi will invest $2.2 million for equipment to produce its Multec 3 fuel
injector.  The Multec 3 injector is designed to provide competitive
performance and target new automotive and non-automotive customers, said Ed
DiEnno, Coopersville plant manager.  Delphi currently supplies electronic fuel
injectors for use on many North American and worldwide automotive engine
applications.
    "The design flexibility of the Multec 3 injector will allow us to go after
new markets, including other vehicle and non-automotive manufacturers," DiEnno
said.
    Delphi will invest $5.6 million on equipment for the MFI system.  The MFI
system is designed primarily for light trucks and sport-utility vehicles.
    "The MFI injector offers improved durability, fuel efficiency and lower
emissions," DiEnno said.  "These new products will help us meet tougher
emissions standards."
    The business case for making the investment in Coopersville was helped by
the City Council's recent approval of a nine-year, 50-percent tax abatement
for the project.  In each of the next nine years, Delphi will pay
approximately $66,000 in additional taxes to city, county and other tax
jurisdictions.
