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.
Front End Modules include Active Grille Shutters, Heat Exchanger, Radiators and a Fan System enclosed in a shroud. Front End Modules can manage the airflow at the front of the vehicle for both aerodynamic performance and cooling requirements (cabin or battery). As part of the vehicle structure, Front End Modules are also designed for crash absorption and resistance.
Valeo assembles and delivers to customers just-in-time, relying on a gobal flexible footprint.
At the core of upcoming Software-Defined-Vehicles are Valeo’s cutting-edge Zone Controllers. These Zone control units deliver two crucial functions: they facilitate high-speed data transfer and manage power distribution across various sections, or “zones,” of the vehicle.
Our strategic partnership with Leoni, combining leading competencies in ADAS and Power Electronics, underpins the development of our Zone Controllers. Our holistic understanding of vehicle architecture and wiring systems allows us to deliver an optimized Zone Controller system in terms of packing, power dissipation, and load balancing.
Our eAccess Belt 14 version is already on the market, with, for example, the Citroën AMI, a small 100% electric 48V urban vehicle that can be driven without a driver’s license and is ideal for commuting in urban areas.
High voltage batteries are expensive and very sensitive to temperature variations even when the vehicle is stopped and the battery is being charged. Valeo designs and manufactures compact and cost competitive battery cooling solutions (refrigerant, liquid and air cooling) to cater for all types of powertrains: hybrids in Japan and the U.S.; plug-in hybrids (PHEV) and full electric (EV) elsewhere. For PHEVs, Valeo full exchanger battery cooling solution on refrigerant is serial since 2015. For EVs, Valeo offers ultra-performing liquid battery coolers for prismatic and cylindrical Li-ion battery packs (China, the U.S. and Europe).
Torque and/or Angle Sensors are reliable components designed to detect drivers’ torque and/or steering wheel position for precise regulation in electronic power steering (EPS) systems and future steer-by-wire steering systems.
These sensors represent a pivotal advancement in automotive technology, providing real-time feedback on the driver’s input to optimize steering performance and enhance vehicle control. By accurately detecting torque and steering wheel position, they enable the EPS system to adjust steering assistance levels dynamically, improving responsiveness and stability under varying driving conditions.
Building on over 14 years of automotive-grade LiDAR experience, Valeo’s SCALA™ Gen 3 Long Range LiDAR Sensor is at the forefront of advanced driving technology. With its outstanding performance, the Valeo’s SCALA™ Gen 3 is enhancing both safety and comfort; being a key enabler for level 3-4 highway and urban autonomous driving, but also extanding the Operationnal Domain Design of L2+ ADAS functions. This technology is based on our leadership in releasing automotive-grade LiDARs, including the successful Valeo’s SCALA™ Gen 2, key enabler for the Mercedes Level 3 Traffic Jam Pilot, first mass produced L3 worldwide.
The Ultra Wide Band (UWB) based Occupant Monitoring System is an advanced solution designed to enhance safety and security within vehicles.
The system offers reliable and precise tracking of objects and occupants within the vehicle cabin utilizing UWB technology as a short-range wireless communication protocol. Placed discreetly on the top of the cabin, the system analyzes the cabin context to detect the presence of living beings, including newborns and children, providing essential peace of mind for drivers and passengers.
LED grille lights are the central area of the car fascia animated from simple contouring to communicative panel. Possibility to be combined with an illuminated logo. Valeo led grille lights and panels have a high level of animation possible for cars (including for communication functions) thanks to integrated or centralized ECU.
Flat Blade wipers structure with integrated nozzles to enable uniform washer fluid distribution all along the blade even in the camera area not accessible by other solutions. It is the best-in-class windshield washing and wiping combined.
Perfect cleaning and liquid saving is ensured by electronic control to synchronize spray release with arm position. Scalable solution with 1 or 2 ramps to reduce cleaning duration and heating of the blade for usage in cold conditions.
As part of the engine cooling system, fan systems include a fan system motor, a blade and a shroud.
Electrification and new ICE require greater fan system power and therefore higher energy consumption that generate higher noise levels.
Blade and shroud design have been improved to optimize acoustics and efficiency whilst light and compact brushless motors provide maximum airflow at minimized noise levels for powertrain/battery cooling, with best-in-class efficiency.
