MOSCOW, Aug 27 (MARKET WIRE) --
Delphi Corporation (PINKSHEETS: DPHIQ) has been awarded new business from
Dimitrovgrad Avtoagregat Plant (DAAZ) to supply engine cooling radiator
cores to the final assembly of radiator fan modules for the AVTOVAZ Lada
Kalina. In January 2009, DAAZ will begin delivering modules to the
AVTOVAZ plant in Togliatti, Russia.
"This win underscores Delphi's continued growth in the Russian market and
represents a joint design, engineering and manufacturing effort between
Delphi and DAAZ," said Jim Bertrand, president of Delphi Thermal Systems.
"Russia is an important emerging market, and as a global supplier, Delphi
has the right technology, footprint and distribution channels to meet the
needs of its Russian customers. Delphi will continue to work with DAAZ
and its parent company Industrial Holding 'AVTOCOMPONENTS' to look for
Thermal manufacturing opportunities in Russia."
Delphi has a history 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. Since 2007, Delphi
has supplied the UAZ Patriot with a complete AC system.
