Delphi Awarded Diesel Business With PSA Peugeot Citroen and Hyundai-Kia

    FRANKFURT, Germany, Sept. 12 PSA Peugeot Citroen and
Hyundai-Kia have selected Delphi Automotive Systems to supply
innovative second-generation diesel common-rail systems.  Delphi's Multec(TM)
DCR 1400 allows vehicle manufacturers to develop diesel vehicles that offer
performance and refinement that is equivalent to gasoline, with exceptional
fuel economy and emissions.  This system is thought to be the most advanced
currently available.
    
    Production for the Kia KJ 2.9, available in the Carnival and Terran, began
in August.  Development programs with PSA Peugeot Citroen are for 1.4 liter
and 1.6 liter 16-valve engines due for production later this year and into
2002 respectively.  During 2001, Delphi also started production of diesel
common rail systems for the Renault Clio and the Ford Focus TDCi, both of
which have received exceptional reviews.

    Multec(TM) DCR 1400 is the first diesel direct injection system to provide
closed-loop control.  Called Accelerometer Pilot Control (APC), the unique
Delphi technology allows the Engine Management System to monitor the quality
of the combustion.  Information from the APC allows injection parameters to be
adjusted as conditions change, ensuring that the system is always correctly
calibrated.

    "We have a world-leading technology that is helping vehicle manufacturers
improve fuel economy and vehicle performance and clearly differentiate their
products," said Guy C. Hachey, president, Delphi Energy & Chassis Systems.
"These two new contracts are further confirmation of our leading position in
diesel technology."

    Delphi currently has 15 percent of the roughly $4.9 billion USD European
diesel injection market and is the only technology supplier world-wide with
the capability to provide a complete solution, including injection systems,
engine management systems, emissions control and fuel handling systems.  To
date, Delphi has invested more than $1 billion USD in diesel technology.
