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.
The in-vehicle Monitoring System is equipped with an interior camera connected to a processing Electronic Control Unit (ECU). It significantly enhances driver and passenger comfort and safety through its multifunctional capabilities. These include cabin watch, vital signs detection, selfies, child mirroring, occupant location, and posture detection.
The Driver Monitoring System (DMS) is an important advancement in automotive safety, integrating an interior camera and Electronic Control Unit (ECU) to monitor the driver’s behavior. The DMS enhances passenger safety and meets regulatory standards by continuously assessing the driver’s attentiveness, mitigating risks of fatigue and distraction, thus reducing accidents.
Valeo is proud to be the global frontrunner in ultrasonic sensor technology. Our state-of-the-art solutions fuse advanced ultrasonic sensor technology with AI-based signal processing to deliver unparalleled near-range perception capabilities. We deploy these sensors across various applications, including parking assistance, obstacle detection, and door protection, fostering enhanced safety and convenience in automotive environments.
The Cyclee eBike system proposes a 48V battery, a display for the rider and a complete 48V Mid-Drive Unit eMotor for electric bike, with an integrated 7-speed automatic gearbox. Valeo’s solution is the highest performance electric assistance system and the first in the world to integrate both an electric motor and an adaptive automatic transmission in the pedal assembly that instantly adapts to each individual’s riding style.
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.
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.
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.
Valeo is innovating in Mid-Range Radar Sensor technology, driving innovation in both rear and front applications for vehicles. As the industry transitions to a radar satellite architecture, we are at the forefront, developing new radar concepts and systems for a range of applications, from ADAS to Automated Parking (AP) and Level 2+ functionalities.
Located in the front cooling module, air conditioning condensers are heat exchangers that are part of the refrigerant loop (A/C system). When going through this type of exchangers, the refrigerant becomes liquid, or put differently “condenses”, to release the heat it carries in the air that crosses the exchanger.
In R-744 A/C & heat pump systems, gas coolers have exactly the same function.
A/C Condensers can sometimes include an evaporation function – they are the called “evaporative-condensers”. Evaporators are exchangers that provide cold air while drying the air that goes through it to demist the windshield.
A Heat Pump is an evolution of the Air Conditioning (A/C) 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 has become the main trend while focusing on sustainability.
