Delphi Automotive Systems, landed a contract in August with Fiat
S.p.A. to supply the E-Steer Electric Power Steering as standard
equipment for the high-volume, 2000 model year Punto.

Although there will be new electric braking technologies emerging
before 2010, "it's going to be a couple of decades before you see
significant penetration of the by-wire systems that are going to
significantly impact the brake hose market," said William Gillespie,
director of chassis systems engineering for Delphi Energy and Chassis
Systems.

Delphi has been involved in the evolution of anti-lock braking
technology, a natural foundation for both electro-hydraulic and pure
brake-by-wire systems. In 1995, Delphi supplied the industry's first
electric braking system for production on General Motors Corp.'s EV1
electric vehicle.

Photo Caption: Like by-wire systems, Delphi Automotive Systems' corner
module would replace several components in today's vehicles. Among the
eliminated parts in both innovations would be the hydraulic brake system
connections and components.: Auto makers say computer controls needed
for steering and braking by-wire systems may drain current 14-volt
electric generating units (top), necessitating development of a stronger
power source. The industry is looking to convert to a 42-volt generating
system, like Continental A.G.'s Integrated Starter Alternator Damper
(bottom). The unit's first generation (right) is three times the size of
its second (lower left).
