Dubai, United Arab Emirates - 28 April 2005 - As part of its continuing efforts to help vehicles run better, cleaner and more efficiently, ACDelco plans to add nearly 2,000 new part numbers to its ignition and emissions product offerings by the end of this year. This addition is part of a larger two-year expansion that will introduce a total of nearly 10,300 new parts.

"Our ultimate goal is to exceed ignition and emissions coverage offered by other top aftermarket parts suppliers," said Ashwin Medhekar, Product Development Manager, General Motors. "Right now, we're focusing on All Makes/All Models coverage for many non-GM domestic, Asian and European applications, but we will continue to expand our selection of part numbers for GM vehicles too"

ACDelco is committed to providing emissions and fuel injection parts that help vehicles pass various certification tests and meet changing vehicle emissions requirements. In addition, ACDelco quality parts help keep vehicles running the way they were designed to perform.

ACDelco ignition and emissions parts are put through a variety of tests - often under extreme or unusual conditions - to help deliver quality parts technicians expect from a leader in the automotive aftermarket. ACDelco insists on this process to make sure installers have reliable, durable and efficient parts that will perform under almost any condition. In addition, these stringent quality controls help lower the rate of return on its ignition and emission parts.

ACDelco stands behind its ignition and emissions products with a 12 month/12,000-mile limited warranty. The organization also offers premium service and support, including nearly 20 specialized training courses directly related to ignition and emission.
