TI Automotive, a leading automotive supplier of fluid storage, carrying

three million Volkswagen Group vehicles, beginning in 2011. The program also
includes the development and production of six million fuel filler pipes.

The fuel tank systems will be produced at TI Automotive facilities in
Ettlingen and Rastatt, Germany, and Pamplona, Spain, and installed on five
different Audi, Volkswagen, Seat and Skoda vehicles.

System variants will include Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle (PZEV) and
Economic Commission for Europe (ECE) for gasoline and diesel applications.

facility in the Czech Republic and shipped to the different final assembly
locations.

"We have enjoyed a cooperative, long-standing relationship with
Volkswagen on a global level," said Bill Kozyra, chairman, CEO and president

innovative, lightweight fuel tank systems that will reduce emissions and help
Volkswagen meet its goal of becoming the world's largest automaker."

next year, TI Automotive will begin production on two new programs: the
Volkswagen sedan in North America and the Audi Q3 in Spain.
