Delphi's New Brazilian Compressor Plant To Support Several GM do Brasil Vehicles

    SAO PAULO, Brazil - Delphi Automotive Systems' new air-conditioning 
compressor facility in Brazil has begun its support of GM do Brasil, which will 
feature several Brazilian-made vehicles equipped with Delphi's leading-edge 
Compact Variable Compressor (CVC compressor).

    Employees at Delphi's 10,000 square meter facility in Jaguariuna,
approximately 100 km north of Sao Paulo, are manufacturing CVC compressors for
GM do Brasil's Astra.  It's the one of several vehicles the plant will supply
as a result of Delphi's contract with the automaker, worth in excess of US $25
million annually at full production.

    "We have a long history of supplying GM do Brasil with our advanced
thermal management technology.  Our world-class CVC compressor represents an
important addition to our local portfolio, offering GM a complete line of
thermal management products," said Sandra McCulloch, director of South
American operations for Delphi Harrison Thermal Systems.  Delphi has operated
a facility in Piracicaba, approx. 80 km west of Jaguariuna, since 1991,
supplying primarily GM do Brasil with heat exchangers and heating, ventilation
and air conditioning modules.

    First produced in 1997 by Delphi in Europe, the CVC compressor represents
the next generation of variable displacement piston technology.

    The Jaguariuna facility just recently began ramp-up activities relative to
supporting GM do Brasil's production of the Astra in Sao Caetano do Sul.  Next
year, Delphi will build CVC compressors for GM do Brasil's production of the
Vectra and S10/Blazer, and in 2002 it will add the Corsa -- also assembled in
Argentina -- to the list of vehicles supplied.

    "The Brazilian economy is showing signs of recovery, and that will bode
well for automakers like GM do Brasil who have remained strong in their
commitment to succeed in this region.  We too have remained steadfast in our
commitment to Brazil and the OEMs," McCulloch said.  "With the local
introduction of technically advanced products, such as our Compact Variable
Compressor, our confidence to meet and exceed our customers' expectations in
this region is high."

    Delphi already manufactures CVC compressors at its joint venture facility
in Douai, France to support GM Europe's production of the Astra and Corsa, and
production just started in Moraine, Ohio to support GM do Brasil's model year
2001 production of the Vectra.

    Featuring a "swash" plate configuration, the Compact Variable Compressor
produces less noise and vibration than contemporary designs, and features
best-in-class output performance.  With its wide range of displacement
offerings and a high degree of design flexibility, the CVC compressor is
adaptable to small, mid-sized and large vehicles.  Its highly efficient mode
of operation allows automakers to realize savings in energy consumption, and
is a key part of the Delphi's initiatives targeting energy efficiency and
environmental stewardship.
