Getting Smart On Safety

摘要

The second Press day at Frankfurt, which is the time when the supply side of the industry traditionally gives its press conferences and blows it trumpet, was disrupted and subdued following the calamitious proceedings in the US the day before. Most press conferences were cancelled, and those that did take place were solemn affairs that were necessarily cut short. When presenting the Delphi Automotive Systems' reception, company president JT Battenberg, who was visibly moved by what had occurred in his homeland, called for a short silence before going ahead with a foreshortened review. In the next press conference, Visteon Automotive Systems' president Pete Pestillo welcomed everybody, but gave no presentation at all, opting to point out that his executives on the stand were there for one-to-one talks.
