Corning Incorporated (NYSE:GLW) announced today that Hyundai . Kia
Motors is equipping select European-market diesel passenger cars
with Corning DuraTrap� AT filters. Corning began serial production
of AT filters for Hyundai . Kia Motors at the end of 2006. This
agreement represents additional high-volume production for the
advanced diesel particulate filter that Corning introduced in 2005.
Hyundai . Kia Motors will first integrate the Corning DuraTrap AT
filter into the Kia Cee�d diesel passenger car, which has a 1.6
liter advanced diesel engine. Hyundai . Kia Motors will soon
integrate the DuraTrap AT filter into other diesel passenger car
models. The Kia Cee�d will be produced and available to consumers
in late 2007. �We are pleased that Hyundai . Kia Motors has chosen
our DuraTrap AT filters for their latest model diesel passenger
cars,� said Thomas R. Hinman, senior vice president and general
manager of Diesel Technologies. �By leveraging our expertise in
materials, processes and manufacturing, we are able to offer
advanced emissions control solutions for every platform. DuraTrap
AT filters continue in active development and testing, and we
expect additional customers for these advanced diesel particulate
filters.� The Corning DuraTrap AT filter uses an advanced aluminum
titanate composition to deliver excellent thermal shock resistance
and filtration under demanding conditions. This filter also uses a
monolithic (single unit) structure that contributes to the
durability of the filter. Corning is producing the filters at its
manufacturing facility in Erwin, N.Y. Corning is a leading supplier
