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.
Car interior reading lights are designed to provide-accent lighting for passengers.
Pixelated reading lights are a solution that comprises several LED sources and delivers an adapted beam, customised to provide just the right amount of light for an enhanced onboard experience and a home-like atmosphere.
The light temperature can also be adjusted (mix of warm and cold whites) to ensure optimized lighting.
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).
A brushless motor is an electric motor that runs on direct current (DC) and does not have mechanical brushes.
With the lowest noise (43 dBA), weight (710g), packaging (819 cm3) and best EMC (Class 5) for a wiper motor, Valeo’s Brushless Motor is available as reversible.
Valeo offers a full range of torques for passenger vehicles (33-43Nm) and trucks and buses (45Nm).
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.
The 3-in-1 eAxle (electric Axle) is the combination of an electric motor, inverter and reducer in shared packaging. It is the heart of the powertrain. The eMotor, the inverter and the reducer are highly integrated together with shared housing design: this is a compact solution for electric vehicle and electrically-driven secondary axle in hybrid vehicles. Compare with standalone solution, 3-in-1 electric axle saves space and cost.
Valeo is the leading thermal specialist among automotive Heating, Ventilation and Air-Conditioning (HVAC) system suppliers in Europe. There are 2 types of heat exhangers located in the HVAC unit: a heater core and an evaporator.
EVs coolant hub architectures with several coolant loops (cabin heater/battery/power electronics) have a high degree of complexity, in particular for vehicles equipped with a Heat Pump system. In order to increase the vehicle’s driving range, the pressure drops and thus the electrical power consumption of the water pump must be reduced.
Smart Coolant Modules are subsystems that can be customized to meet specific customer requirements. They must therefore be compatible with most of BEVs Thermal Management Systems including Direct and Indirect Heat Pumps.
The reducer, also named gear reducer or speed reducer, is a solution to adjust the number of revolutions of the electric motor and convey those revolutions to the vehicle’s wheels.
It ensures the same function as a transmission in a conventional vehicle.
Rare earth elements (REE) such as Neodymium and Dysprosium are generally used in permanent magnet motors, in electric vehicles. Valeo developed an EV motor without rare earth element in it.
In 2022, Valeo launched the development of the next generation of Electrically Excited Synchronous Motor (EESM) with hairpin stator. This is an electric motor without magnet and thus without rare earth.
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.
