Valeo is driving the evolution toward zero-emission and autonomous fleet solutions

As the commercial vehicle industry undergoes a major transformation fueled by new safety and environmental regulations, as well as by the transition to autonomous trucking, Valeo is positioning itself as the key partner for commercial truck manufacturers navigating this complexity. With electric trucks projected to take a substantial global market share by 2030 and autonomous trucking expected to grow rapidly in the next decade, Valeo is ready to support this evolution.

Valeo continues to build on its strong presence in historical products, such as lighting, wipers, powertrain systems and thermal management, while drastically accelerating its leadership in high-growth technologies including electrification, advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) up to Level 4 autonomy, and software-defined vehicle technologies (SDV).

Safety, Valeo’s priority for all road users

Committed to global regulatory standards, Valeo enhances in-cabin safety while improving the driving environment and making vehicle behavior predictable for everyone, both on and off the road.

Valeo’s Adaptive Driving Beam (ADB) technology automatically shapes high-beam headlights around oncoming traffic, maximizing nighttime visibility for drivers without blinding other road users. Long established as a standard for passenger cars, Valeo is now introducing this crucial glare-free lighting solution to the commercial vehicle market.

Inside the cabin, Valeo provides a safe interior environment by pairing cutting-edge hardware with sophisticated software solutions. A key feature of this high-performance cockpit is the advanced Driver Monitoring System (DMS), which actively tracks driver drowsiness and distraction to ensure full compliance with stringent GSR II and NCAP 2026 standards.

Valeo’s Innovation Highlights

  • Electrification:
    • Electrification of powertrain and thermal systems featuring the EDC-120 electric compressor with integrated inverter, specifically designed for the electric bus and truck segments, alongside smart heat pumps, High Voltage Coolant Heater, inverters/on-board chargers, and e-propulsion systems.
  • Autonomous solutions & SDV technologies:
    • Advanced Sensor Sets: An offer that ranges from best-in-class sensors covering entry to premium solutions to complete turnkey systems and specialized cleaning systems for LiDARs and cameras to preserve ADAS functions at all times and ensure visibility in harsh environments.
    • High-Performance Computing: Scalable portfolio of compute units for ADAS and beyond, ranging from our unique Truck Valeo Smart Safety 360 (VSS360) solution, ADAS domain controllers, and single-SoC ADAS+IVI, to modular multi-domain central compute units.

    • The GO7 Gen4 Drive Unit: A revolutionary, maintenance-free system fusing a 48V motor and a 7-speed automatic gearbox into a single enclosed block. It delivers 130 Nm of torque and up to 1,000W of peak power, effortlessly moving up to 250 kg of commercial cargo with a predictive mode acting like a fully automatic digital co-pilot, seamlessly shifting gears based on real-time topography and rider input so the user can focus entirely on the road.
    • The New PixelRide HMI: Advanced technology made simple. It features an intuitive 2-inch tactile display, a thumb-activated “Boost” for heavy take-offs, and an encrypted “Phone as a Key” Bluetooth function that mechanically locks the drivetrain to secure both the vehicle and its freight.

Sustainability through Valeo Remanufacturing

Remanufacturing is key for Valeo in the aftermarket, and integrated into the “I Care 4 the Planet” program initiated by the Group to progressively reduce the environmental impact of the automotive sector. Valeo is significantly broadening its aftermarket reman range, which now features more than 6,000 references across four primary categories: starters and alternators, brake calipers, air conditioning compressors, and transmission parts—including clutches and pneumatic concentric actuators for commercial vehicles.

Recently, Valeo accelerated its REMAN 2.0 program, expanding into electronic (eg. NOx sensors) and electrification parts (eg. Inverters, EDCs).

Valeo aims to reuse more than 80% of materials on average and drastically reduce CO2 emissions, delivering ‘as good as new’ quality at an attractive cost.
