Delphi Corporation started in 1991 as the parts division of General Motors called Automotive Components Group. In 1995 ACG was renamed to Delphi Automotive Systems and in 1997 GM's Delco Electronics was transferred to Delphi. In 1999 Delphi Automotive Systems became a fully independent publicly held corporation and in 2002 Delphi Automotive Systems was renamed to Delphi Corporation, to more accurately represent the diversification of its business direction. Not only did Delphi become the second largest manufacturer of Diesel Fuel Injection equipment worldwide when they acquired the diesel systems business of Lucas TRW in 2000, but they are also heavily involved in the XM Satellite Radio and GPS markets.
