While acknowledging the potential long-term benefit of alternative-fuel
technology, Greenway emphasized the immediate opportunity to improve internal
combustion engines.  "Based on the hundreds of billions of dollars already
invested in the internal combustion engine infrastructure and technology, we
can cost effectively deliver better engines today," Greenway told the audience
of industry leaders and powertrain engineers.  "But where are the market
drivers?  And what will happen to force the rate of internal combustion engine
development to increase at a rate that is technologically possible?  At the end
of the day, is the industry ready to stand up to the challenge of value, timing
and investment to make a difference?"

Over the next several years, Greenway said Visteon's powertrain technology
development can result in internal combustion engines that deliver performance
features consumers demand with the fuel economy and emissions reductions that
exceed technology available today.

Greenway joined Visteon in June 2000.  Since 2002 she has been responsible for
product development, strategies and performance for Visteon's powertrain
business globally.
