Delphi Power Sliding Door Featured on Mercedes Vito, Viano

Delphi supply of power sliding doors to European market grows to 300K this year.

May 2, 2006, TROY, Mich. -- With its innovative power sliding door technology, Delphi Corp. will help lighten the load for drivers and passengers of Mercedes’ light duty commercial vehicle, the 2006 Vito, and multi passenger vehicle, the 2006 Viano, available now in Europe.

Delphi’s power sliding door will be available for both the passenger and the driver side of the Vito and Viano. With just the touch of a button, a dedicated electronic control unit will automatically open and close each side door, enhancing the renowned design and ease of use of both vehicles.

The contracts strengthen Delphi’s position as a world market leader of power closure products.

“Convenience features like Delphi’s power sliding door are critically important to drivers, particularly when the vehicles, such as the Vito, are used to carry cargo in addition to passengers,” said Steven Kiefer, managing director of European operations, Delphi Thermal & Interior. “Delphi is pleased to be contributing to this impressive vehicle that makes everyday life and work easier for its owners.”

According to Lon Offenbacher, business line executive, integrated closure systems, the application of the power sliding door on the Viano illustrates how the feature is quickly filtering down into multi-passenger vehicles and smaller car segments.

In 2004, Delphi supplied the first power sliding doors on a city car, bringing its motorized door technology to a new class of small vehicles and city drivers. This year, Delphi will be supplying more than 300,000 units a year for European applications ranging from city cars to light commercial and multi-purpose vehicles, with significant growth expected into the next decade.

The mechanical drive units for the Vito and Viano doors will be manufactured in Ponte de Sor, Portugal and the electronic control units will be manufactured at Saint Aubin du Cormier in Brittany, France.

Delphi’s portfolio of power products also includes power liftgates and power deck lids.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENT
This press release, as well as other statements made by Delphi may contain forward-looking statements within the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, that reflect, when made, the companys 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 companys 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. 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 (“DIP”) financing facility; the companys ability to obtain court approval with respect to motions in the chapter 11 proceeding prosecuted by it from time to time; the ability of the company to develop, prosecute, confirm and consummate one or more plans of reorganization with respect to the Chapter 11 cases; 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 companys ability to maintain contracts that are critical to its operations; the potential adverse impact of the Chapter 11 cases on the companys liquidity or results of operations; the ability of the company to execute its business plans, including the transformation plan described in the Companys March 31, 2006 press release, and to do so in a timely fashion; 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; and the ability of the company to attract and retain customers. Other risk factors are listed from time to time in the companys United States Securities and Exchange Commission reports, including, but not limited to the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004, and its most recent quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2005, and current reports on Form 8-K. 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 companys various pre-petition 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 proceedings to each of these constituencies. A plan of reorganization could result in holders of Delphis common stock receiving no distribution on account of their interest and cancellation of their interests. 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 and as stated in its October 8, 2005, press release announcing the filing of its Chapter 11 reorganization cases, 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 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 pre-petition liabilities.
