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.
Though static interior lighting could deliver information (thanks to a change of color for example), dynamic interior lighting offers much more opportunities. The use of smart LEDs enables a highly controlled system able to create an animation throughout the cabin or in a very specific area. Speed, luminance and color can be managed for each LED in order to get a warning or a visual feedback.
It serves as the central interface for vehicle occupants to effortlessly manage and adjust vehicle features, navigation controls, climate controls…
With its user-friendly design, it provides convenient access to a wide range of functions, allowing occupants to customize their driving experience according to their preferences.
The Disconnect is an electric actuator implemented in the transmission that allows to disconnect the wheels from the Electric Drive Unit, primarly for electric vehicle All-Wheel Drive (AWD) and P4 Hybrid using Permanent Magnet Synchronous electric Motor (PMSM) type.
The Dome module is a multifunctional hub that serves as the nerve center for embedded safety and comfort features, intuitive controls, and electrical/electronic (EE) architecture within vehicles.
A Heat Pump is the evolution of the Air Conditioning (A/C) system: it is now able 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 is becoming the main trend.
Valeo is the world leader in Satellite Camera technology, a transformative approach that transfers the computing capabilities of cameras to centralized domain or central controllers. This cutting-edge technology serves as the foundation for a wide range of applications, from cost-optimized entry visualization solutions to premium parking and automated driving systems. Our platform leverages the synergy between camera, ECU, and Computer Vision expertise, providing an unparalleled trinity of know-how.
The EGS (Electro-Mechanical Gear Shift) or the HGS (Hydraulic Gear Shift) are actuators used in automatic transmission (Dual Clutch Transmission – DCT, Dedicated Hybrid Transmission – DHT, reducer) enabling Shift By Wire of the gears. The EGS (2 speed) is particularly designed to address 2-speed eDrive (P4 hybrid or BEV). Valeo offers both Electro-Mechanical & Hydraulic actuators to address all types of DHT, DCT and reducers.
The 400V inverter is the brain at the heart of the electric powertrain, it controls the electric motor. It converts Direct Current (DC) from the battery to Alternative Current (AC) to power the electric motor. It can also be used in reverse mode to charge the battery by transforming kinetic energy from the vehicle into electrical energy that can be stored in the battery. Valeo inverters are based on a scalable platform able to suit Si or SiC, for 400V & 800V. It is based on a highly standardized hardware and software architecture.
As EV range extension cannot rely solely on increasing the size of batteries, the only alternative to match ICE vehicle’s usage is to increase the charging speed. Most OEMs aim to reach 80% charging in less than 15 minutes; this is called ultra fast charging or high-power charging at 250 kW and above.
However, injecting that level of energy into the battery pack generates a significant heat that may damage the cells if proper cooling is not used.
The Ultra Wide Band (UWB) Car Phone as a Key is an innovative solution that redefines vehicle access and security.
Ultra Wide Band (UWB) technology, integrated into smartphones, enables encrypted communications between the user and the vehicle. Acting as a handless key fob, the phone seamlessly interacts with the vehicle’s locking and ignition systems, providing secure and convenient access without the need for a physical key.
