A finalist in this prestigious award program is Visteon's innovative Long Life
Filtration System.  This patented system is the only Tier I zero- maintenance
long-life filter that includes reticulated foam filter and delivers 150,000 to
200,000-mile life.

This unique system solution saves manufacturers warranty costs associated with
air filter service and can save consumers as much as $150 or more over the life
of the vehicle.

Receiving honorable mention was Visteon's TACNET, an integrated tactical network
that centralizes the command and control of multiple electronic systems for
emergency response teams.  The system's open architecture allows for the
seamless integration of cutting-edge products into TACNET's flexible platform.

This system integrates the features and functions of the electronic equipment
known and trusted by law enforcement officers and dramatically reduces the
number of devices installed in the police car interior.  The system integrates
lights, sirens, radios, radar, patrol video and AM/FM radio through voice
recognition or fingertip control.

"We are truly honored to be recognized for our innovations in the Automotive
News PACE award competition," said John Kill, vice president of product
development of Visteon Corporation.  "These two products are examples of the
customer focused innovation we are commercializing in 24 months or less."
