Valeo Žebrák

The modern Valeo manufacturing plant in Žebrák was established in 2001 and today forms a key part of the POWER division, which specializes in technologies for maximum cabin comfort. Our production is centered on evaporators for air conditioning systems in both passenger cars and trucks. This essential component, located within the air conditioning unit behind the dashboard, ensures that the air flowing into the vehicle interior is cooled and dehumidified. The entire process operates on the principle of rapid refrigerant expansion through an expansion valve, which absorbs heat from the surroundings and cools the air below the dew point, effectively removing excess moisture.

Our products primarily supply other Valeo Group plants, where they are integrated into complex systems for the world’s leading automakers, including Škoda, Audi, VW, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Toyota, Ford, Nissan, Renault, Peugeot, Citroën, Volvo, Seat, and MAN. Following dynamic development and extensive investments in 2019 and 2024, we expanded our production capacity with new halls dedicated to electric mobility. Across a total area of 34,000 m², we now produce over 9 million components annually, with more than 2 million units consisting of advanced cooling modules for electric vehicles and high-voltage heaters.

Battery coolers are critical for the optimal operation, safety, and lifespan of electric vehicles. To ensure battery cells operate with maximum efficiency, they must be maintained within a precise temperature range of 15 to 45 °C while keeping an identical temperature across all parts of the battery pack. Our unique ultra-flat design of cooling plates and tubes ensures perfect contact with the battery and guarantees uniform temperature distribution. These innovative solutions are designed for all types of electrified vehicles, from hybrids to full battery electric vehicles, confirming Valeo Žebrák’s role as a technological leader in the transformation of the automotive industry.
