April 17, 2007

    CORNING, N.Y., April 17 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- Corning
Incorporated (NYSE: GLW) announced on April 16th that
Hyundai.Kia Motors is equipping select European-market
diesel passenger cars with Corning DuraTrap(R) 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 its 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 of advanced cellular
ceramic substrates and diesel particulate filters for all
of the world's major manufacturers of gasoline and diesel
engines and vehicles.  The company invented an economical,
high-performance cellular ceramic substrate in the early
1970s that is now the standard for catalytic converters
worldwide.  In 1978, Corning developed the cellular ceramic
particulate filter to remove soot from diesel emissions.
