Visteon Demonstrates Full-Service Testing Capability at North American Automotive Testing Expo VAN BUREN TOWNSHIP, Mich., Oct. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- Visteon Corporation (NYSE:VC) is demonstrating full-service customer commitment through testing capability demonstrations at the North American Automotive Testing Expo held at the Novi Expo Center in Novi, Mich., Oct., 27-29, 2004. (Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20001201/DEF008LOGO ) As automakers continue to expand design and development facilities in North America, Visteon is announcing its full-service testing capabilities in North America, offering testing services. Visteon is leveraging its design, engineering and testing expertise to serve customers at the component, module, system and vehicle level. While many companies can offer testing services for reliability and durability, Visteon's broad range of expertise and complete testing facilities also provide customers with valuable real-time data. On display at this year's North American Automotive Testing Expo is Visteon's Portable NVH Dynamometer. This industry-first, self-contained portable dynamometer is a mobile test facility that can perform comprehensive noise, vibration and harshness analysis virtually anywhere. The portable dynamometer was developed as a solution to support automotive manufacturers in their efforts to meet the consumer demand for quiet and smoother rides. The Portable NVH Dynamometer is a diagnostic tool that allows automakers to evaluate interior sound, driveline vibration, system balance, performance and customized testing -- at their location and on their timetable. The one- of-a-kind mobile facility is designed to test the full vehicle without modifications to the vehicle itself, through Visteon's patented, non- intrusive, laser-balancing technology. Automotive manufacturers can look to Visteon for portable diagnostic services from dynamometers that test both two- wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive vehicles. Vehicles can be "fingerprinted" over a speed range in as little as 20 minutes, with available data moments later. Additionally, Visteon's portable dynamometers can archive test data for future vehicle comparisons as well as benchmarking of full vehicles and vehicle system attributes. Visteon customers will realize added value through the instrumentation and quality of results. The portable system allows for non-contact instrumentation of a vehicle to be completed in a matter of minutes -- compared to hours of preparation at traditional dynamometer facilities. Another benefit automakers gain from Visteon's Portable NVH Dynamometer is the elimination of the costly and time-consuming process of transporting vehicles to and from traditional dynamometer facilities.
