Delphi Wins Engine Management Systems Business For Taiwan Automaker.(Brief Article)

Delphi Automotive Systems said it signed a multi-year contract with China Engine Corp. in Taiwan, to supply engine management systems (EMS) for 1.6 and 2.0 L engines. The engines will be applied to the Taiwanese Motor Maker's vehicles with production beginning in 2004. The contract is worth approximately $76 million to Delphi. All vehicles are intended for the Asia Pacific market.

"Asia Pacific is a key region for Delphi," said Guy C. Hachey, president of Delphi Energy & Chassis Systems. "We continue to build our customer base by leveraging our ability to supply technology that meets the diverse needs of our global customers. Delphi designs engine management systems with the customer, in this case, China Engine Corp., and for the customer, based on both market and legislative requirements."

"Delphi will work with a government-sponsored research institute in Taiwan, ITRI and China Engine Corp., on the calibration and execution of this program," said Choon T. Chon, president of Delphi Automotive Systems, Asia Pacific. "While we can help our customer stay competitive with Delphi's unique systems approach to engine management, our partnership with ITRI will ensure that the system satisfies and possibly exceeds all government requirements."

Delphi operates 15 joint ventures and wholly owned manufacturing facilities in China, three customer service centers, one technical center and one training center. Delphi China said it currently supplies all major automakers in China.

The EMS project with China Engine Corp. involves 17 Delphi technologies, the company said. Delphi said it has been supplying engine management systems since 1985 to customers around the world.
