- Valeo’s Advanced Rider Assistance Systems (ARAS) entered production in September 2026 with ZEEHO, bringing automotive-grade vision and radar fusion technology to next-generation electric motorcycles.
- Integrated system powers critical warnings including Forward Collision Warning (FCW), Blind Spot Detection (BSD), Lane Change Assist (LCA), Lead Vehicle Departure Notification( LVDN), Rear Collision Warning (RCW) and Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC).
November 3, 2026 — Paris, France — Valeo, a global leader in mobility technology and active safety systems, has been selected to provide both hardware and Advanced Rider Assistance Systems (ARAS) Software for ZEEHO’s next-generation electric motorcycles. ZEEHO is the techmobility brand of CFMOTO Group.
Valeo is expanding its Valeo Advanced Rider Assistance Systems (ARAS) technology offer, building on its local-for-local approach, fast-to-market execution, and commitment to safer mobility worldwide. Developed completely in China, this breakthrough Advanced Rider Assistance Systems solution for ZEEHO electric motorcycles reflects Valeo’s deep-rooted commitment to local engineering agility and rapid development. Present in China since 1994, Valeo now operates 22 production sites, 10 R&D centers, and employs over 17,000 people, including 4,300 engineers.
By bringing automotive-grade digital co-pilot capabilities to the global two-wheeler market, Valeo contributes to a major step forward in the democratisation of active safety for all types of mobility.
By combining our hardware and our embedded software stack, Valeo creates a seamless 360-degree safety envelope tailored to motorcycle dynamics,” said Marc Vrecko, Chief Executive Officer of Valeo Brain Division. “Reaching Start of Production with ZEEHO is a clear testament to Valeo’s ability to take advanced active safety out of the lab and put it directly onto the street.”
“We are pleased to partner with Valeo to bring the vision-and-radar-fused ACC solution into mass production on ZEEHO models, delivering a safer and smarter riding experience for riders.

A Turnkey Hardware & Software Architecture
Riding a motorcycle presents unique dynamic challenges: spatial constraints, lean angles, dynamic balance, and direct human-machine interactions require precise algorithms and rugged hardware.
To meet these demanding real-world conditions, Valeo provides a unified, end-to-end ARAS system:
- Valeo Radar & Front camera : Automotive-grade sensing tailored for two-wheelers, delivering precise object detection, range measuring, and environmental mapping under all riding conditions.
- Valeo ARAS ECU: A robust, high-performance central computing unit built explicitly for two-wheeler environmental conditions, ensuring high reliability, and low power consumption.
- Valeo ARAS Software Suite: Proprietary perception and fusion algorithms designed to act as a digital co-pilot. The software processes real-time sensor data to compute risk trajectories, filtering out false positives while delivering timely, intuitive alerts to the rider without interrupting the core joy of riding.
Advancing safety for two-wheelers worldwide
With the rapid growth of mixed traffic and urban density globally, two-wheeler riders remain among the most vulnerable road users. By leveraging decades of domain expertise in automotive Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), Valeo is rapidly scaling modular, high-value ARAS solutions across conventional internal combustion engines (ICE) and electrified platforms worldwide. The Group has become the key full-stack technology partner for two-wheeler OEMs around the globe, delivering hardware, software, and system integration.
Valeo showcases its new Advanced Rider Assistance Systems solutions at the EICMA show from 3 to 8 November in Milan, offering insights into the future of two-wheeler safety.
