Delphi to Supply its Diesel Medium Duty Common Rail System to JCB

Delphi’s complete diesel technology portfolio keeps attracting new customers

April 12, 2006, PARIS -- The Multec™ Medium Duty Common Rail (MDCR) system from Delphi Corp. has been chosen by JCB, one of the world’s largest construction and agricultural equipment makers to equip its 4.4 litre in-house diesel engine designed specifically for off-highway applications. This engine has been in production since 2004. The Delphi Multec™ MDCR will help JCB to meet the more stringent Tier 3 emissions standards which are implemented this year.

Delphi’s Multec™ MDCR is a modular diesel fuel injection system, capable of up to 1800 bar system pressure. At the heart of the system is a fast servo-solenoid injector designed to optimize fuel rate, spray shape and accuracy. The highly innovative Multec™ Diesel Common Rail system provides small injection quantities in a small injector package, and uses closed-loop strategies to deliver precise fuel quantities over the life of the engine. This results in cost-effective, robust emissions and acoustics performance.

The Multec™ MDCR system has been developed to meet the demanding requirements for medium-duty truck and off-highway engine applications. This technology addresses the growing need worldwide for engines from four to nine litres that offer low emissions and car-type refinement combined with the durability and economy demanded by commercial vehicle users.

Delphi will be providing a complete MDCR Fuel Injection System to JCB consisting of the pump, rail, injectors, filter and an engine mounted Electronic Control Unit (ECU).

"This new contract is the successful outcome of years of joint development between JCB and Delphi" said Peter Lakin, business line executive, Diesel. "We are very proud that JCB has chosen Delphi to equip their in-house engine with Delphi’s Multec™ MDCR Systems. A wide variety of JCB’s engines have been using Delphi Diesel Fuel Injection Systems over many years. JCB’s decision to use Delphi as its main Diesel Fuel Injection System supplier is truly a mark of confidence in Delphi’s products" continued Lakin.

This engine will be produced starting in 2007 at the new dedicated JCB Power Systems factory at Dove Valley Park, Foston, Derbyshire.

"Thanks to our wide diesel product portfolio, Delphi is experiencing a significant growth in all market segments from diesel passenger cars to on- and off-highway medium- and heavy-duty diesel applications" added Lakin. "JCB can be confident that Delphi, with its worldwide dealer network, will be able to support JCB’s global expansion plans in every region of the world"

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 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. 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 company’s 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 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 execute its business plans, including the transformation plan described in the Company’s 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 company’s 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 company’s 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 Delphi’s 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.
