Factors:
(1) Changes in currency resulted in an increase of $569 million, primarily related to the strengthening of the Euro, Korean Won, Brazil Real, and British Pound during 2007. Divestitures and closures, including the Chassis Divestiture, Chicago, IL plant closure, and the Chennai, India divestiture reduced sales by $675 million in the aggregate. North America sales volumes decreased by $434 million related to lower Ford and Nissan volumes in North America and the result of customer sourcing actions, primarily in the Electronics product group. Sales in Asia increased $537 million, including $269 million of directed source content related to Hyundai/Kia production and net new business wins.

(2) Sales increased in Asia by $237 million, principally attributable to new business and higher production volumes. Climate sales increased in Europe by $68 million principally related to higher Ford vehicle production volumes. Sales were lower in North America by $121 million due to lower Ford North America vehicle production volume and unfavorable product mix partially offset by new business.

(3) Sales in 2007 included higher sales in Europe of $171 million due to increased Ford vehicle production volumes, partially offset by lower Ford North American vehicle production volumes and adverse product mix related to past customer sourcing actions of $197 million.

(4) Increased sales in Asia of $300 million, primarily due to an increase in directed source content for Hyundai/Kia production, were partially offset by lower sales in North America of $297 million, primarily due to lower Ford and Nissan vehicle production volumes as well as the impact of lost volume related to the closure of the Chicago facility.

(5) The decrease is largely attributable to 2007 divestiture activities including the Chassis Divestiture, which resulted in a decrease of $390 million and the Chennai, India divestiture, which resulted in a decrease of $35 million. Sales decreased by $83 million with reductions in all regions related to lower vehicle production volumes and adverse product mix.

Product Development
R744 climate system
It consumes up to 25 percent less fuel than conventional R134a systems and enables a reduction of CO2 tailpipe emissions of up to 7g/km while operating the air-conditioning system. The efficient operation helps to reduce the overall fuel consumption of the vehicle by approximately 0.3 liter per 100 km at the same cooling performance as traditional systems at an ambient temperature of 25 degrees C. By designing standardized and compact components. As a part of the system, a new and very robust fitting technology called VisCO2nnect was designed . Unlike conventional metal seal fittings, VisCO2nnect has a patented design which assures the required level of pressure and supports easy assembly and serviceability.
