Visteon Offers Insight on Vehicle Technologies at SAE 2004 World
Congress DEARBORN, Mich., March 8 /PRNewswire/ -- When the doors of
Cobo Center in Detroit open on March 8, 2004, the Society of
Automotive Engineers 2004 World Congress will usher in experts to
share their knowledge about high-performance vehicles, whether they
be race cars or regular cars. Among the experts are Visteon
Corporation engineers who will present a number of technical papers
showcasing products that conserve power, increase filtration and
improve electric motor performance. (Logo:

technical papers describe how a new, patented long-life filter,
using multi-layered reticulated foam, increases the efficiency and
dust- holding capacity of the air intake filter. This technology
now brings to the OE market the same type of air intake filters
previously only available in the aftermarket for motorcycles and
high-performance vehicles. Visteon engineersalso have developed a
swiveling low beam headlamp, along with an additional unit for side
illumination, which improves visibility and safety. The improved
illumination of curves and intersections helps reduce driver stress
associated with difficult nighttime driving conditions. Another
Visteon lighting innovation uses high-performance white
light-emitting diodes for forward illumination. Continuing to offer
better performance in the passenger compartment, Visteon engineers
developed a heat pump system that provides superior quick heating
in an efficient, environmentally friendly package. Visteon's air
conditioning system with heat pump is an innovative solution that
expands the functionality of today's R134a refrigerant-based A/C
system by adding the capability to act as a supplemental heat
source. The heat pump capability would be fully integrated into the
A/C system and would eliminate the need for other types of
supplemental heat such as fuel-operated heaters. Other Visteon
papers address the development of a reliable high-torque electric
motor for hybrid vehicles and the use of finite element simulation
to determine the effect of design variables on driveshaft dynamic
behavior. "Each year the SAE World Congress offers an opportunity
for those of us in the automotive industry to learn more about
technological advancements and the changing global industry," said
John Kill, Visteon vice president of Product Development. "We're
pleased to share what we've learned with our engineering colleagues
and to benefit from their knowledge as well. This year's largest
program ever helps focus the industry on our collective
goal-delivering products our customers need and the consumers
want." Visteon Corporation is a leading full-service supplier that
delivers consumer-driven technology solutions to automotive
manufacturers worldwide and through multiple channels within the
global automotive aftermarket. Visteon has approximately 72,000
