In this catalog, Valeo presents a selection of its technologies in the domains of electrification, driving assistance, lighting and the reinvention of life onboard, four domains essential to the transformation of mobility, to make it cleaner, safer and smarter, in the automobile and beyond.
A Heat Pump is the evolution of the Air Conditioning (A/C) system: it is now able to cool the cabin but also to warm it, using the thermodynamic cycle of a refrigerant gas.
Over time, EV Heat Pump systems have increased in complexity, taking more and more space while their cost has become quite substantial. Designing compact modules is becoming the main trend.
Rear signaling for safety, style and personalisation
Rear signaling systems are regulated and crucial for road users’ safety: by informing and indicating drivers’ intentions, the occurrence and gravity of rear-end collisions can be reduced (1 out of 3 accidents).
Cabin air filters act like a barrier against dust, particulate matter and pollens that pass through the air inlet of the HVAC module.
Valeo offers a full range of cabin air filters, an essential contributor to safe and healthy air in the cabin, from standard filters to very high efficiency combined filters with activated carbon layers that can stop odors, harmful gases and drastically reduce allergen and virus activity.
Surround View Camera Solutions, also known as 360-degree surround view camera systems, enhance the safety and convenience of driving. These systems provide a comprehensive view of the vehicle’s surroundings, minimizing blind spots and assisting drivers with tasks such as parking, maneuvering in tight spaces, and navigating through complex traffic situations.
BEVs often have a thin air inlet located at the bottom of the front end while the cooling needs remain high and acoustic constraints are severe. Minimizing the electrical consumption is also key to stabilizing the vehicle’s range. To address these constraits, Valeo has developped tilted cooling modules as well as an ultra flat cooling module at 210 mm in the Z axis.
Specific range of electro-mechanical actuators (EGR actuator) to control the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) in the intake to reduce the pollutants emissions and the fuel consumption in internal combustion engines (ICE).
The Delta pressure sensor, also called Differential Pressure Sensor (DPS) measures the pressure drop across the EGR system.
The delta pressure sensor manages the differential pressure across particulate filter or on the low pressure EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) loop. It’s a key element to ensure the particulate filter behavior to fullfill the pollutants emission threshold allowed by more and more stringent regional regulations.
Steering Wheel Electronics represent the integration of Hands-On Detection (HOD) and heating functionality within the steering wheel. The Hands-On Detection system ensures that the driver remains actively engaged and in control during transitions between manual and assisted/automated driving modes (Level 2, 3, 4). It ensures the safety of the driver and is thus relevant for European New Car Assessment Programme (Euro-NCAP) testing from 2023.
Fog lights are safety features that improve visibility on the road in bad weather conditions. Valeo designed small but high-performance fog lights for different types of vehicles.
Existing two version:
Initially designed to heat the coolant in EVs’ standard HVAC module, and improve cabin comfort, High Voltage Coolant Heaters are also used to heat up the battery.
They have now become mandatory for battery pre-heating in cold weather conditions.
Valeo wants to democratize HVCH implementation by offering a flat design to match all demands and also fit into compact A/C Systems.
