Delphi Automotive is supplying innovative technologies to a significant number of new vehicles introduced at this year’s Geneva Motor Show. From diesel systems to active safety technology and thermal innovations to connection systems, Delphi is working to help drivers stay safe and remain connected while lessening the environmental impact of the vehicle they drive.
Delphi active safety technologies help keep drivers, passengers and pedestrians safe



The safety enhancements on the new V60 station wagon plug-in hybrid unveiled at Geneva, also featured on the S60 and V60 launched last year, include Full Speed Range Adaptive Cruise Control and a Collision Warning and Mitigation system with full automatic braking power that not only detects moving and stationary vehicles but pedestrians as well. The system warns the driver of an imminent collision and automatically brakes the vehicle if the driver is not able. Delphi provides the sophisticated camera, vision control module and multimode electronically scanning radar sensor. Unlike most competitive systems that limit braking power to 50 percent, the new Volvo system uses input from the Delphi vision and radar sensors to allow full automatic braking power when it estimates a high risk for collision with a pedestrian or a vehicle.



Emissions reduced, fuel economy increased with the help of Delphi systems



Delphi's Multec® Diesel Common Rail System, a robust, cost-effective modular diesel fuel injection system, equips numerous vehicles at the show including the Chevrolet Cruze, Kia Picanto, Kia Rio, Mercedes-Benz C Coupé, Opel Antara and Peugeot 308 e-HDI. With its smart balanced valve solenoid injector design, this innovative system is extremely fast and has injection performances similar to competitive servo-piezo technologies. Its unique control strategies enable the system to deliver precise fuel quantities over the life of the vehicle and provide optimal emissions control and acoustic performance.



Other green technologies include Delphi's energy efficient and high performance heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems, which increase vehicle fuel economy without sacrificing passenger comfort. Delphi designed the HVAC modules for several Ferrari models.



Delphi's Compact Variable Compressors feature an energy-saving six or seven piston continuously variable mechanism allied to the A/C system's control software which also allows for optimized fuel efficiency and engine power availability.





Automakers look to Delphi for innovative electrical/electronic architecture solutions



As system complexity in vehicles increases, so does electrical complexity. Using the proprietary Velocity™ Tool Suite, Delphi engineers around the globe develop complete electrical/electronic architectures that streamline the development process, offer cost-competitive solutions and improve engineering efficiency and quality. Delphi's electrical/electronic architecture solutions help OEMs reduce mass, minimize system complexity and overcome packaging challenges. Delphi is supplying numerous vehicles with complete wiring assemblies including the Mercedes-Benz C Coupé and the Saab 9-5 station wagon.



Delphi technologies for hybrid and EVs provide peak performance, resolve packaging challenges and lower cost



From power electronics and electrical/electronic architecture to thermal management technologies and automotive aftermarket expertise, Delphi hybrid and electric vehicle technologies are helping manufacturers increase fuel economy, reduce emissions and enhance safety with products designed to provide peak performance, resolve packaging challenges and lower cost. Delphi recently unveiled innovative sound generators that will help warn pedestrians of oncoming hybrid and electric vehicles. Designed to comply with legislation expected to mandate minimal sound for both hybrid and electric vehicles, these environmentally friendly sounders are not only robust, but compact, light weight and low cost. Delphi's first vehicle sound generator will be introduced by a leading European OEM in mid 2012.



Delphi is also committed to keeping consumers connected, and to making electric vehicles accessible and practical for the average consumer. Delphi offers both portable and stationary charging systems and components to help consumers connect to the growing EV infrastructure, whether at home or away.
