Delphi Showcasing Full Suite of Energy-Efficient, Cost-Effective Technologies at InterAuto Moscow 2008
Release Date: August 27, 2008
MOSCOW--(Marketwire - August 27, 2008) - Delphi Corp. (PINKSHEETS: DPHIQ) will showcase its energy-efficient technologies at InterAuto Moscow 2008 from Aug. 27 - 31, 2008, that help automakers meet more stringent environmental regulations, provide greater efficiency and deliver increased comfort, service and support.
Delphi will exhibit in Hall 8, Pavilion 2 (booth no. M144) and will be displaying a comprehensive product portfolio, including Delphi's aftermarket products and services as well as electrical/electronic architecture, thermal systems and powertrain technologies.
"Russia is an important emerging automotive market and Delphi intends to be a leader among those who will participate in its growth and development," said Ron Pirtle, president, Delphi Europe, Middle-East and Africa. "Delphi is proud of our history in the Russian market, and we look forward to continued, expanded business in the region. InterAuto 2008 is the perfect place to show our full line of flexible solutions."
Technologies and services on display at Delphi's booth include:
Aftermarket
Russian vehicle manufacturers and buyers have been supported for years in the aftermarket through Delphi's growing network of parts distributors and diesel service centers.
After the successful launch of its Delphi Service Center concept in Western Europe, the group is now rolling out the concept in Eastern Europe, including Russia. Becoming a Delphi Service Center gives garages the training, technology and support needed in order to be able to take advantage of today's service opportunities. Delphi offers the Russian aftermarket an extensive portfolio of braking, steering, shock absorbers, air conditioning, vehicle electronics, diesel, diagnostics, training and technical support.
Electrical/Electronic Architecture
A market leader in electrical/electronic architecture (E/EA), Delphi continues to be a qualified and reliable partner for automakers in Russia.
An optimized vehicle electrical/electronic architecture by Delphi can have a significant impact on a vehicle's functionality, reliability, packaging, cost and mass. Delphi engineers use defined design processes and proprietary analytical tools to evaluate the effectiveness of different designs, and the impact of various trade-offs, to deliver the best electrical/electronic system solutions. With the wiring harness often weighing up to 60 kg, design improvements offer an opportunity to have a significant impact on vehicle weight and fuel economy. Delphi has solutions today to minimize copper content, reduce cable insulation weight and bundle sizes, and even enable the use of gage sizes down to .13 mm without requiring automated assembly. Not only will this help reduce C02 emissions, but our new Halogen-Free Cable is completely recyclable.
Thermal Systems
Delphi has the proven ability of supplying the Russian market with complete air conditioning systems. In 2004, Delphi launched the first air conditioning system on the Russian-made Chevy Niva for GM AvtoVAZ. In 2007, Delphi also supplied the UAZ Patriot with a complete AC system. Delphi will be displaying its energy-efficient air conditioning and powertrain cooling products at this year's show.
Traditional air-conditioning systems account for approximately three percent of a vehicle's fuel usage each year in Europe and five percent in the United States. Delphi's energy-efficient air conditioning technologies can significantly reduce those amounts. Delphi technologies that help enable an energy-efficient HVAC system include Series Reheat Reduction, Air Inlet Mixture Control, Variable Displacement Compressors, and much more.
Delphi powertrain cooling systems control engine operating temperatures and flows to optimize fuel economy and emissions. Delphi's systems approach integrates low-mass components into an efficient functional design, while handling high-load air conditioning requirements, maximum towing loads and the growing cooling needs of turbocharged and hybrid powertrains. These technologies provide solutions for increased performance demand and compactness requirements and can deliver 15-30 percent mass reduction, reduced air-pressure drop and fan power.
Powertrain Systems
Delphi's Powertrain technologies will highlight gasoline and diesel engine management systems (EMS) and fuel handling, including:
As a leading gas EMS supplier, Delphi can provide manufacturers with stand-alone components (sensors, injectors, pumps, electronic control units, electronic throttle controls, ignitions, rails) or complete systems.
- Delphi's family of injectors for Multi-Port Fuel Injection satisfies a wide range of customer requirements for spray pattern, linear range, working flow range and operating voltage. The injectors can meet a variety of packaging requirements and are suitable for automotive original equipment, aftermarket and performance engines, as well as non-automotive and small gasoline engines.
- Delphi's cost-effective, family of fuel systems -- specifically the Multec Gasoline Direct Injection (GDi) -- provides a complete, easy-to-manage package and allows vehicle manufacturers to tailor content to their needs. The system's features can assist vehicle manufacturers in meeting demands for more power, torque and improved fuel economy.
- Delphi's complete line-up (light-duty, medium-duty, heavy-duty) of Delphi diesel systems include:
- Delphi Multec Balanced-Valve Solenoid Common Rail (CR) Systems provide equivalent performance to competitors Servo-Piezo systems and maintain that performance throughout the life of the engine thanks to Delphi's advanced system strategies.
- Delphi's comprehensive range of Medium- and Heavy-Duty Electronic Unit Pump-based systems provide cost effective solutions for Russian OEMs to move their commercial-vehicle engines to Euro 3 capability without major re-design.
- In addition, Delphi Diesel has advanced product solutions available for future legislative changes to the Russian Market. In fact, Delphi's Multec CR systems are already being applied to next generation emission level vehicles and the unique Delphi Direct-Acting Piezo Common Rail System provides engine management for future high-performance applications.
- Delphi's integrated fuel handling and evaporative emissions canisters are available in gasoline, diesel, flex-fuel and bio-fuel configurations and can be used in both automotive and non-automotive applications. With creative subsystems and packaging solutions, canisters can be tailored for a variety of applications including new technologies, hybrid vehicles and small engine products.
Delphi Presence in Russia
Delphi has had a presence in Russia since 1990. It currently operates two manufacturing sites and one sales office, servicing local and regional customers with wiring harnesses and powertrain products.
