The compressors will be supplied to major automakers in China and the Asia Pacific region. We also opened a $24M climate control facility in Beijing. Visteon Climate Control Beijing Co. Ltd. is majority owned by Visteon and will produce air conditioning and engine cooling modules. The Beijing facility is an excellent example of the kind of on-going collaboration taking place between Visteon and HCC.

Key Relationships in China
Halla Climate Control Beijing Automotive Industry Corporation (BAIC) Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation (SAIC) These relationships have enabled us to access new markets and customers. One of our strongest and most significant relationships is with Halla Climate Control facility, in Korea. Halla is a market leader in Korea and a source of operational excellence – the staff is outstanding in the way it approaches design, development and manufacturing of product. When we set up our highly successful Yanfeng Visteon joint venture in 1994, we decided to partner with one of the country’s fastest-growing OEMs -- Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation -- to gain customer and market access. That decision proved correct, as Yanfeng has grown exponentially over the past 10 years. Another partner of ours -- BAIC (Beijing Automotive Industry Corporation) is a major automotive OEM in China. Visteon has a climate control joint venture with BAIC, the partner for Hyundai Motors Corporation. Yanfeng Visteon also has a joint venture with BAIC for automotive interior products supporting Beijing Hyundai and other customers in the region. BAIC is a strategic customer/partner following SAIC and DFM. (BAIC ranked 3rd largest for volume last year) Copyright 2004, Visteon Corporation

China’s Auto Market Slowdown
Golden period 2001 – 2004 - substantial year on year growth - opportunities for OEMs and Suppliers - hungry market Companies setting up in this period had growth plans based on recent history Overcapacity begins to impact the market Controls on the economy applied in 2004 compound the situation Copyright 2004, Visteon Corporation
13
China’s Auto Market Slowdown
Result has been market “normalization” China begins to “feel like” the more established automotive markets of the world China will continue to be a positive market in which to operate Normalization of the China market will require more sophisticated responses from suppliers Copyright 2004, Visteon Corporation
14
China’s Auto Market Slowdown
What are the appropriate responses to “normalization” Strengthen partnerships developed in China Broaden scope of established partnerships Begin to rapidly apply established techniques Supply chain management Lean manufacturing Local and regional sourcing Look to build local capability Design capability Engineering and Development Sourcing and supplier management Program management Copyright 2004, Visteon Corporation
15
China’s Auto Market Slowdown
Essential but difficult Greater autonomy and flexibility is needed Quality and cost are the most dominant factors for successful suppliers Copyright 2004, Visteon Corporation
16
Summary: the way forward for suppliers
China remains the most exciting market to be in despite is slowdown and rapid change Partnerships are the key to long term success The “normalizing of the market” requires suppliers to provide appropriate responses to maintaining a strong position in the automotive supply base Copyright 2004, Visteon Corporation
