Release Date: October 30, 2001

LAS VEGAS - Citing rapid growth of high-technology electronic vehicle systems, expanded data storage in automobiles and strong service technician acceptance of new handheld devices for data acquisition for vehicle service, Delphi Automotive Systems (NYSE: DPH), today announced the acquisition of Automotive Technical Resources, Inc. (ATRi) of Troy, Mich. The business will become part of Delphi's Aftermarket Operations in a new business unit, Delphi Integrated Service Solutions.

Delphi acquired closely held ATRi Inc. for $15 million. ATRi employs 50 people located in two sales and technical offices. Effective immediately, a core management team will be put into place to integrate ATRi into the newly formed Delphi Integrated Service Solutions business unit and begin the launch of new Delphi automotive service applications.

"Our aftermarket business strategy is to use Delphi's extensive electronics capability to capitalize on existing and new market opportunities. We are focused on replacement parts for vehicle electronics components and systems, new web-enabled vehicle service technologies, and consumer electronics for in-vehicle entertainment and personal productivity," said Francisco A. (Frank) Ordonez, general manager, Delphi Aftermarket Operations.

"Delphi Integrated Service Solutions will combine existing Delphi aftermarket service technology initiatives with new intellectual property, technology integration and existing customer relationships currently within ATRi. We plan to provide game changing, comprehensive service support to increase technician and shop efficiencies, and reduce service returns," said Ordonez.

Automotive service industry studies indicate that 40 percent of a technician's billable hours are lost to service system inefficiency. Further, 18 percent of aftermarket parts sold are returned according to industry reports.

According to Ordonez, Delphi Integrated Service Solutions expects to provide technicians and shop managers with the tools they need to compete in an increasingly complex vehicle maintenance environment. Complexity of vehicle service plus an increasingly time-starved consumer base is contributing to steady growth in the Do It For Me (DIFM) or full-service segment of the automotive parts and service market.

Delphi Integrated Service Solutions will feature products and services devoted to raising the industry standard for electronic service applications, including:

• The ATRisys™ platform is a wireless network for repair facilities that allows shop technicians to remotely access diagnostic information, technical data and training at the vehicle on a just-in-time basis. This increases productivity by eliminating repair shop inefficiencies including current catalogs, microfiche, and CD-based systems. The ATRisys™ platform is based upon an open architecture that allows it to support all shop hardware. Delphi Integrated Service Solutions intends to offer an i-SHOP compatible system in the near future.
• Technical assistance will be delivered to aftermarket partners via general application phone support and direct connect through the wireless handheld, providing component-specific technical support, service solutions and service updates.
• The handheld, online information library includes a detailed database of product information that is easily accessible to Delphi aftermarket partners.
• Computer Based Training (CBT), Web Based Training (WBT), as well as locally sponsored technical training clinics and courses for aftermarket partners on general service, vehicle systems, shop management, workflow management and diagnostic process.

The system uses new technology hardware including wireless hand-held units and PC-based platforms. The proprietary software is unique, enabling a custom application, yet the system is flexible and cost-effective. Live demonstrations of the product offering can be observed in Delphi booth # 5324 at the AAPEX show Tuesday, Oct. 30.
