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.
Chillers are used in direct and indirect heat pump architectures to cool the glycol that runs in the battery coolers. Chillers are connected to the air conditioning circuit. Their modular design in plates allows battery chillers to be used in all levels of vehicle electrification, from hybrid to 100% electric, and they can be adapted to any kind of refrigerant (R-1234yf or R-744).
The Driver Monitoring System (DMS) is an important advancement in automotive safety, integrating an interior camera and Electronic Control Unit (ECU) to monitor the driver’s behavior. The DMS enhances passenger safety and meets regulatory standards by continuously assessing the driver’s attentiveness, mitigating risks of fatigue and distraction, thus reducing accidents.
A Standard 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.
Valeo develops multiple Standard Heat Pump architectures (Direct or Indirect) that serve as a “smart thermal network” to optimize overall energy and cabin comfort while maintaining driving range.
When the system is fully optimized, this Standard Heat Pump can extend the range of electric vehicles by up to 30% in winter.
Since our first serial application with a major European OEM, we have upgraded and simplified our system to improve efficiency (for example: adding a hygrometry sensor or enabling new functions such as Heat Recovery on battery and powertrain).
Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEVs) are powered by electricity produced from hydrogen. A fuel cell uses the chemical energy of hydrogen or other fuels to cleanly and efficiently produce electricity. If hydrogen is the fuel, the only products emitted are electricity, water and heat.
Drawing on Valeo’s hardware and software expertise, Valeo Smart Safety 360 is a turnkey driver assistance system (ADAS), offering a wide range of safety as well as driving and parking assistance functions.
With the smart front camera used as the system’s central computer, Valeo Smart Safety 360 is an integrated and affordable system approach, connecting ultrasonic sensors, radars, and a camera for driver monitoring functionality.
High voltage batteries are expensive and very sensitive to temperature variations, even when the vehicle is stopped and the battery is being charged. Valeo designs and manufactures compact and cost-competitive solutions (refrigerant, liquid and air cooling) to cater for all types of powertrains: hybrids in Japan and the US; plug-in hybrids (PHEV) and full electric (EV) elsewhere. For PHEVs, Valeo full exchanger solution on refrigerant is serial since 2015. For EVs, Valeo offers ultra-performing liquid battery coolers for prismatic and cylindrical Li-ion battery packs (China, the US and Europe).
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.
It serves as the central interface for vehicle occupants to effortlessly manage and adjust vehicle features, navigation controls, climate controls…
