4 October 2000
Delphi's INTELLEK(TM) Oil Condition Sensor Technology Wins at SENSORS ExpoINTELLEK(TM) Honored for Positive Environmental Impact And Reduced Oil Consumption DETROIT, Oct. 4 Delphi Automotive Systems' INTELLEK(TM) Oil Condition Sensor has been recognized with a "Best of Sensors" award by Sensors magazine. The award recognizes innovative new products that will have a strong impact on the sensor industry. The INTELLEK(TM) sensor continuously monitors various engine oil properties, and alerts the driver to change oil when needed, rather than at regularly scheduled intervals. The result is a reduction in oil usage and the subsequent need to dispose of used oil. "We view this sensor as a win-win product for Delphi, our customers, and the environment," said Delphi Energy & Chassis Systems President Guy C. Hachey. "We appreciate recognition from an organization that obviously understands the importance of intelligent sensors in today's technologically advanced vehicles. I also want to thank the Delphi team members responsible for this innovation. Their continued development efforts have made this product viable for a wide range of vehicle and other industrial applications." INTELLEK(TM) is one of five technologies selected from 14 finalists by the editors of Sensors magazine, a leading publication in the sensors industry for more than 16 years. The oil condition sensor was chosen because, according to the editors, "it makes economic and ecological sense and has great implications for industry, beyond the automotive arena." The awards were presented at the publication's "Sensors Expo 2000," held recently at Detroit's Cobo Hall.
