Valeo at IAA Transportation 2024

From September 16 to 22, 2024, Valeo will be taking part in the 69^th IAA Transportation show in Hanover. The event is a meeting place for commercial vehicles, and an opportunity to discover innovations for the future of mobility of goods and people, which is becoming cleaner, safer, more assisted, more connected and more diverse. Valeo is at the heart of these revolutions, which are characterized by the transformation of powertrains, the emergence of new forms of mobility and increased safety.

Valeo has anticipated these profound changes, investing massively each year in Research and Development and is supporting the changes in the transportation of goods and people with affordable and more sustainable technologies. Solutions for commercial vehicles generated a 100% increase in orders for Valeo compared to the last IAA Transportation show two years ago.

At IAA Transportation, Valeo will be showcasing its systems for vehicle electrification – both for propulsion and temperature management – driving assistance systems, lighting and comfort.

Towards 100% electric mobility for goods and people

Road transport accounts for 18% of global CO₂ emissions. Reducing these emissions means that the sector has to do its part, so mobility is gradually becoming electric. This is not a transition. It’s a revolution that changes everything about vehicles. Valeo has been preparing for this upheaval for over ten years. Valeo’s innovations today bear witness to the Group’s change of dimension, as it becomes a global player in mobility. Valeo’s technologies are based on recognized expertise in equipment, software and artificial intelligence algorithms, and are also used in the transportation of goods and people. They can now be found in all vehicles, in all new forms of mobility.

Valeo has all the systems needed to develop electric propulsion, from low to high voltage. These range from small 100% electric urban vehicles for last-mile delivery in city centers, to heavy goods vehicles for long-distance freight, not forgetting passenger transport.

Valeo presents at IAA Transportation:

• 48V hybrid systems for vans and other compact utility vehicles, notably for last-mile delivery, with a 48V motor, its inverter and associated transmission systems [see the following chapter about Valeo’s 48V technologies]
• an intelligent heat pump
• 45 cm³ or 120 cm³ electrically-driven compressors

Since there can be no high-performance electric vehicles without innovative thermal systems, Valeo is also exhibiting its battery cooling and coolant heating technologies for commercial vehicles.
Valeo is also showcasing organosheet structural parts for front fascias and battery protection areas.
