TROY, MI -- Bosal Delphi Complete Exhaust Systems has won its first contract since Delphi Corp. and Bosal Group entered into an alliance last year.

The contract for a complete exhaust system, which includes a Delphi-supplied "hot end" and a Bosal-supplied "cold end" is worth $235 million over its lifetime. Distribution is expected to begin in 2009. The company said details of the contract will remain confidential at the customer's request.

In an effort to bring together each company's specific expertise, facilities and resources, Delphi and Belgium-based Bosal announced a new strategic alliance to offer complete exhaust systems for the global original equipment market in May of 2005. The non-equity based alliance was created to offer a total customer solution around the globe for any vehicle program and all current fuel options.

"This first Bosal Delphi business win is a promising sign for the future of the alliance," said John Miles, president of Bosal International - North America (BINA). "This is the first step in gaining prominence across the globe. As Bosal Delphi gains more business wins, awareness of its innovative approach and commitment to advanced technologies will multiply."
