    New Delphi Tech Ensures No More Dead Keyfob Batteries

    Delphi, makers of all kinds of vehicle electronic gadgetry, will become the first manufacturer to use what is being called "segmented display cell." SDC is a type of e-ink used in electronics and will soon be implemented into a wireless bi-directional keyfob. SDC will make integrating displays into keyfobs a little more reasonable. SDC also looks a hell of a lot better than the third-party jobbers with displays that look like those handheld videogames from the 1990s. This technology isn't just about looks, either. More »

    Delphi UAW Workers Agree To Wage Cuts And Plant Closings!

    Forget the "Jesus Phone" — folks at Delphi, General Motors and the executive offices of the UAW are praising the real thing this early afternoon because according to Automotive News, UAW workers voted by more than a 2-1 ratio to approve the deal calling for top production wages to drop from $27 an hour to $18.50. Also, Delphi plans to close 10 US plants, keep four open, sell four others and transfer to the General three plants if they can't be sold. We'll get you more as soon as we know more — but for the time being this has got to make stress-induced angina in the folks at the automakers-once-known-as-the "Big Three" feel a little less painful. – Ray Wert More »

    Gettelfinger Pats GM On Head For Delphi Agreement

    Oracle_of_Delphi.jpgThe man in charge of the UAW doesn't for a moment credit Delphi for the agreement worked out at the end of last week between the union, the auto parts supplier and General Motors. Nope, he's giving some mad praises to the General, saying this morning on a local Detroit radio station:
    "If it weren't for [GM Money Man] Fritz Henderson and his team...then this agreement never would have come about..."
    Aww, isn't that adorable to see Ron playing all nice and stuff with GM? Yes, we think so. But don't ask us what he said about Delphi — ooh, those two never get along! – Ray Wert More »

    Even Google News Gets An Oracle When Searching For Delphi

    Yeah, we know you think she's hot. Apparently even Google News thinks women dressed in presumably traditional Greek dress are the best thing it can find when it thinks of Delphi. That's a lot better than the silly Wall Street Journal story to the right of the picture, given the sorry financial state of the beleaguered auto supplier. And it's a helluva lot better than what we're hearing from the Associated Press, that the auto supplier now sees a $1.3 billion pension payment in their future. Yup, the Oracle could have really helped them with that one. Picture of Google News headline below the jump. – Ray Wert More »

    Delphi Loses $533 Million In First Quarter Of 2007

    The Oracle, she has spoken — and the words coming out of her mouth are most assuredly not good for the General's big auto supplier. Delphi said it took in $6.7 billion in revenue and lost $533 million during the first three months of this year. That's substantially worse than the $7.0 billion in revenue and $363 million in red ink they dripped during the first quarter of 2006. Although Delphi claims $73 million of that loss was "attributable to employee termination costs," there's still a question of why they're hemorrhaging almost $100 million more year-on-year. We're sure glad all the great execs at Delphi were paid that $38 million in bonuses though, aren't we? More »
