This is an exciting time in the automotive
industry — the number of advancements that
we will see in the next few years is remarkable ...
and Delphi is perfectly positioned to benefit
from these changes.
will be debated, the trend is very positive for us,
because Delphi is one of only a few suppliers who
can deliver the full scope of connected, active safety
and electrical architecture technologies needed for
automated driving.
What Matters: Becoming a Premier Supplier
I travel regularly to meet with our customers around
the globe. During one stop at the 2013 Frankfurt Auto
Show, I was with the leaders of a major European
manufacturer when a senior procurement officer
mentioned that he had recently spent two weeks in
China reviewing their supplier base and had come
away from that visit amazed with Delphi’s scale and
capabilities. He complimented Delphi for having
“created a world-class automotive supply company
perfectly positioned for the local market.”
His words highlight why Delphi has been so successful
among automotive suppliers. No matter where we are
around the globe, Delphi is able to execute flawlessly.
I firmly believe Delphi has evolved into a premier
supplier of the automotive industry.
Our customer base includes all 25 of the largest
automakers in the world and many world-class local
OEs as well. Delphi has built a solid reputation as a
leader in transformative technology, providing solutions
to our customers’ problems.
We have diversified within the regions and within
our customer base. In the fastest growing market in
the world, China, our revenue is increasing and our
business is expanding.
This is an exciting time in the automotive industry — the
number of advancements that we will see in the next
few years is remarkable. From automated driving to
greener and cleaner technologies, we see clearly where
the industry and our markets are going and continue
to embrace change and help make it happen on our
path to making Delphi the best of the best. Delphi is
perfectly positioned to benefit from these changes.
I remain enthusiastic about the possibilities for the
future and the role Delphi will play in shaping it.
Best Regards,
Rodney O’Neal
