Delphi Signs Global Electrical Wiring Contract with Volvo Truck

Delphi's Non-Automotive Business to Benefit from Commercial Truck Wiring Deal

    FRANKFURT, Germany, Sept. 26 Delphi Automotive Systems
will supply significant electrical wiring content to Volvo Truck
Corporation in Europe as part of a global contract with one of the world's
leading commercial truck manufacturers, Delphi announced.
    Delphi's Packard Electric Systems division will supply various wiring
harnesses to Volvo Truck's assembly facilities in Skovde, Goteborg and Koping,
Sweden, and Ghent, Belgium.  The European programs include commercial trucks
of 16 tons and greater, and have annual volumes in excess of 40,000 units.
    Delphi Packard Electric's global wiring contract also includes Volvo
Truck's North American and Asia-Pacific region wiring harness business, as
well as the opportunity to quote on wiring systems for bus, marine and
construction equipment produced by Volvo subsidiaries.
    "This contract positions Delphi as Volvo Truck's primary global wiring
systems supplier, and can be attributed in part to Delphi's outstanding
quality performance with current Volvo Truck business in Europe, as well as
Delphi's full-systems supplier capabilities, which is what Volvo requires,"
said Marc van Reusel, Delphi Packard Electric's Volvo Truck global customer
manager.  "Delphi's engineering expertise, including the support of numerous
resident engineers working jointly with Volvo on designing and developing
total wiring system solutions, is another reason for Delphi's continuing
relationship with this valued customer."
    In December 1999, Delphi announced the North American portion of the
global wiring contract with Volvo Truck.  That contract provides for Delphi to
supply main cab and engine wiring assemblies for Volvo Truck North America's
Class 8, or heavy-duty, trucks.  In the Asia-Pacific region, Delphi supplies
complete wiring harness sets for Volvo Truck's production in Bangalore, India,
and a significant part of the wiring harness sets for Brisbane, Australia.
