Hyundai and Kia Motors have selected Delphi to supply Euro V diesel common rail system on two engine families. Delphi will supply the pump, injectors, rails and electronic control unit to help Hyundai-Kia meet Euro V emission standards. Further details of the contract are kept confidential at the customer’s request.
The new business for Delphi comes on top of other business with Hyundai-Kia. Delphi has been supplying them common rail systems since 2001. From early 2006, Delphi will begin supplying Hyundai-Kia with Euro IV-compliant Multec diesel common rail systems.
“As Hyundai-Kia strives to elevate its brand value to the level of the world’s elite auto manufacturers, technology such as Delphi’s common rail system can help the company differentiate its powertrain,” said Guy C. Hachey, president, Delphi Energy & Chassis.
“We’ve been supplying diesel common rail technology to Hyundai-Kia since 2001, and have worked diligently to maintain and grow our relationship,” Hachey said. “This is an exciting program for Delphi. We are committed to helping solve fuel economy and emission challenges for our customers. This application helps validate our capability and further secures our place among the top global diesel suppliers.”
Delphi will assemble the common rail systems for Hyundai-Kia locally in the future.
