(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20001201/DEF008LOGO ) "Performance and reliability are the key in racing," said Greg Gyllstrom, vice president and general manager of Visteon North American and Asian Aftermarket Operations. "The fact that nearly 100 percent of the NASCAR teams rely on Visteon radiators for every race says a great deal about our commitment to performance and reliability through design, technology and technical advancement." Visteon's radiator racing cores include a high-efficiency design requiring less airflow to transfer the same amount of heat as a standard radiator. The design uses dimpled tubes to increase the swirling action of the coolant, resulting in a faster, more efficient transfer of heat. In addition, Visteon has added louvers to the fin surface, increasing the ability to transfer heat away from the engine. Consumers of new vehicles expect performance and reliability under the hood as well. Visteon applies their leading underhood parts technology for professional installers and do-it-yourselfers through their aftermarket product offerings. This same leading edge underhood technology is delivered to automakers to meet the consumer performance expectations of new car and truck owners. Visteon's technical expertise extends to other aftermarket parts including glass and officially licensed NASCAR Performance Windshields, GlideMaster products, and mobile electronics. 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 employees and a global delivery system of more than 200 technical, manufacturing, sales and service facilities located in 25 countries. http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20001201/DEF008LOGO DATASOURCE: Visteon Corporation CONTACT: Robin Pannecouk, +1-313-755-9121, , or Greg Gardner, +1-313-755-0927, , both of Visteon Corporation Web site: http://www.visteon.com/ http://www.evisteon.com/
