High voltage Automotive Electrification systems

As a part of the Move Up plan launched earlier this year, by Christophe Périllat, Valeo’s CEO, the joint venture Valeo Siemens eAutomotive, leader in high-voltage powertrain systems, is fully integrated into the Valeo Powertrain Systems business, allowing Valeo to increase and develop a complete portfolio from 48V to high-voltage solutions.

Electrification technologies to improve the range, performance and comfort of electric or hybrid vehicles

Valeo is contributing to the growth of hybrid, plug-in hybrid and full electric vehicles by developing and industrializing the following powertrain as follows:

  • Electric motors and their power electronics (inverter), allowing electric engine control.
  • Full high-voltage geared motor system (motor + inverter + reducer).
  • On-board battery charger integrating the option of DC voltage converter to supply the vehicle’s electrical system.

High voltage car battery for large vehicles and light cars

These high-voltage systems improve the performance and increase the range of electric vehicles thanks to an efficient or an optimized performance and provide greater comfort for users. These high-voltage electrification products are intended for vehicles in all sectors of the market, as this type of propulsion enables versatile use of a vehicle, in both urban and highway environments, and complements 48V systems.

The fully electric motors, like the 48V, can be installed between the thermal engine and the gearbox, inside the gearbox or on the rear axle.

The range of high-voltage electric motors starts with a full system (motor + inverter + reducer) providing 40 kW up to the range of a full 300 kW for the most powerful motor, catering for requirements across the entire existing electric vehicle market, from light cars to premium sedans and even the largest SUVs.

In 2022, more than 90 car models will be equipped with the systems developed by Valeo including a German Premium car maker.
