Delphi’s Information, Convenience, Protection Concept Vehicle Designed to Keep Drivers Focused

Delphi Designs Human Machine Interface Cockpit That Keeps Driver’s Tasks in a 20-Degree Focus of Forward View

LAS VEGAS — At the 2008 International CES, Delphi Corp. (PINKSHEETS: DPHIQ) is showcasing a “must see” concept cockpit system that is specially designed to optimize the driver’s interaction with vehicle. The Delphi Information, Convenience, Protection (ICP) demonstration vehicle is ergonomically and technologically engineered to help address the critical issue of driver inattention. With this unique design, drivers can perform the necessary tasks while keeping their hands on the steering wheel and eyes on the road to addresses the critical issue of driver inattention. The Delphi ICP vehicle is being shown at Delphi’s exhibit (#5206) in the North Hall of the Las Vegas North Convention Center, January 7-10, 2008.

“We are helping to integrate the driver with the vehicle system using human machine interface (HMI) in the ICP vehicle,” said Jugal Vijayvargiya, Delphi Electronics & Safety Controls & Security lead executive. “The system effectively connects the driver to the vehicle cockpit and control functions and minimizes driver distraction. In addition to enhancing safety, the HMI element of a vehicle is very important in overall consumer satisfaction and acceptance of their cars and trucks.”

Delphi’s ICP vehicle places controls that require driver attention all within a 20-degree forward field of view. Government and University research shows that when a driver’s attention can remain focused on the road within this 20-degree field of view the number of accidents due to distraction can be reduced.

Delphi’s HMI and Controls & Security engineering teams have integrated the functionality of a sophisticated reconfigurable instrument cluster, reconfigurable head-up display (HUD), warning systems, multifunctional controls, driver-state assessment system and interior, rear and side view cameras to create the ICP vehicle. The vehicle demonstrates how these systems work in unison to provide a HMI cockpit and vision for the future.

“In keeping pace with today’s lifestyles and consumer demands, vehicle manufacturers have proliferated modern vehicles with electronics information and communications technology,” said Robert Schumacher, general director of Advanced Product & Business Development. “Now that we have this high-content environment, it is important to simplify the interface to make it easy for the driver to manage.”

Delphi’s ICP vehicle offers an intuitive, integrated interface that provides easy access to information. In addition, the system helps to optimize safety and security while offering a clean aesthetic look that is in harmony with the vehicle interior.

Technologies on the ICP vehicle’s instrument panel include:

Reconfigurable Cluster -- a 12.3" color AMLCD (active matrix liquid crystal display) that provides programmable information in front of the driver.

Reconfigurable Head Up Display (HUD) -- a full-color HUD display with LED backlighting used in conjunction with a multifunctional controls. The head-up display enhances safety by allowing the driver to safely view critical information projected on the windshield in their forward view without looking away from the road.

Exogenous Safety Warning System -- a system that emits a bright flash of light to bring the driver’s attention to the forward view when the potential for a collision is detected by a radar-based active safety system.

Bi-Directional Key Fob Link -- a key fob that provides a gateway for two-way vehicle communication. The fob offers new information, convenience and protection features to owners allowing communication with the vehicle using portable devices (such as a cell phone) to perform tasks such as closing windows and checking vehicle status.

Portable Device Integration -- a system that integrates portable devices such as PDAs, cell phones, etc. into the vehicle’s information architecture to provide the driver with seamless access to information.

Multifunctional Controls -- a control system that provides easy, safe access to information content. The layout is consistent with the head-up display format.

Personalized Cockpit -- a personalized system that allows information displays to be personalized based on driver demographics, desires and needs.

Driver State Assessment -- a system that is used in conjunction with the active safety systems to intelligently warn the driver of impending danger by assessing attention to the driving task and warning appropriately. This system also provides fatigue recognition and has a security application.

Driver Face Recognition -- a system that enables vehicle access and allows vehicle content to be personalized based on recognition of a specific driver.

Interior Monitor Cameras -- an interior camera system that allows the driver to monitor rear seat occupants, particularly children.

Rear View Cameras and Display -- a system where rear view cameras replace the traditional rear view mirror with a combination of near view (parking aid) and far view (normal view) cameras and a color display. The system eliminates the forward blind spot due to the traditional mirror.

Side View Cameras and Display -- a system consisting of a camera and display combinations that replace traditional side view mirrors and help eliminate the blind spot for drivers.

Delphi is a leader in providing instrument clusters and HMI systems for vehicles. Delphi experts integrated the first HUD in a vehicle in 1987.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This press release, as well as other statements made by Delphi may contain forward-looking statements that reflect, when made, the Company’s current views with respect to current events and financial performance. Such forward-looking statements are and will be, as the case may be, subject to many risks, uncertainties and factors relating to the Company’s operations and business environment which may cause the actual results of the Company to be materially different from any future results, express or implied, by such forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as “may,” “might,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential” or “continue,” the negative of these terms and other comparable terminology. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following: the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern; the ability of the Company to operate pursuant to the terms of the debtor-in-possession financing facility and to obtain an extension of term or other amendments as necessary to maintain access to such facility; the terms of any reorganization plan ultimately confirmed; the Company’s ability to obtain Court approval with respect to motions in the chapter 11 cases prosecuted by it from time to time; the ability of the Company to prosecute, confirm and consummate one or more plans of reorganization with respect to the chapter 11 cases; the Company’s ability to satisfy the terms and conditions of the EPCA; risks associated with third parties seeking and obtaining Court approval to terminate or shorten the exclusivity period for the Company to propose and confirm one or more plans of reorganization, for the appointment of a chapter 11 trustee or to convert the cases to chapter 7 cases; the ability of the Company to obtain and maintain normal terms with vendors and service providers; the Company’s ability to maintain contracts that are critical to its operations; the potential adverse impact of the chapter 11 cases on the Company’s liquidity or results of operations; the ability of the Company to fund and execute its business plan (including the transformation plan described in its filings with the SEC and the Bankruptcy Court. and to do so in a timely manner; the ability of the Company to attract, motivate and/or retain key executives and associates; the ability of the Company to avoid or continue to operate during a strike, or partial work stoppage or slow down by any of its unionized employees or those of its principal customers and the ability of the Company to attract and retain customers. Additional factors that could affect future results are identified in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, including the risk factors in Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors, contained therein and the Company’s quarterly periodic reports for the subsequent periods, including the risk factors in Part II. Item 1A. Risk Factors, contained therein, filed with the SEC. Delphi disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events and/or otherwise. Similarly, these and other factors, including the terms of any reorganization plan ultimately confirmed, can affect the value of the Company’s various prepetition liabilities, common stock and/or other equity securities. Additionally, no assurance can be given as to what values, if any, will be ascribed in the bankruptcy cases to each of these constituencies. A plan of reorganization could result in holders of Delphi’s common stock receiving no distribution on account of their interest and cancellation of their interests. In addition, under certain conditions specified in the Bankruptcy Code, a plan of reorganization may be confirmed notwithstanding its rejection by an impaired class of creditors or equity holders and notwithstanding the fact that equity holders do not receive or retain property on account of their equity interests under the plan. In light of the foregoing, the Company considers the value of the common stock to be highly speculative and cautions equity holders that the stock may ultimately be determined to have little or no value. Accordingly, the Company urges that appropriate caution be exercised with respect to existing and future investments in Delphi’s common stock or other equity interests or any claims relating to prepetition liabilities.
