Visteon's Long Life Filtration System won the award, while the corporation's
TACNET, an integrated tactical network that centralizes the command and control
of multiple electronic systems for emergency response teams, received honorable
mention.

Visteon's Long Life Filtration System is an innovative, patented system and the
only Tier I zero-maintenance long-life filter.  This air induction system
contains a reticulated foam filter that traps over 300 grams of dust, salt,
moisture and other corrosives.  It delivers a 150,000- to 200,000-mile filter
life, virtually eliminating the need for replacement filters.

This unique system solution reduces manufacturer warranty costs associated with
air filter service and can save consumers as much as $150 or more over the life
of the vehicle.  In addition, because this system doesn't require regular
maintenance attention, there is a great dealof flexibility in packaging the
system within the vehicle.  The entire air induction system could even be placed
in another section of the vehicle, freeing up valuable space near the engine.

"We are truly honored to be a PACE award winner.  We believewe are leaders in
delivering game-changing products for our customers and consumers," said Peter
J. Pestillo, chairman and chief executive officer of Visteon Corporation.  "To
