Valeo EvenLED Technology Wins 2025 Road Safety Innovation Award

<h2>Revolutionizing Vehicle Lighting for Enhanced Road Safety and Efficiency</h2>
<p>Effective vehicle lighting systems play a crucial role in road safety, including rear-end collisions prevention. Valeo EvenLED technology significantly improves visibility and makes it easier for drivers to communicate their intentions to other road users. With a homogeneity of over 80%, it offers a unique and distinctive visual appearance. Compact and flexible, it blends harmoniously with all types of vehicle, whatever their design. Versatile, it can be used both in red for the rear signaling system, and in white for the front lights. Moreover, it meets the growing demand for lightweight and less consuming solutions for electric vehicles.</p>
<p>Maurizio Martinelli, CEO of Valeo Light Division, said: “We are extremely honoured by this award that recognizes our effort to develop technologies for more safety on the road. With its outstanding optical performance, Valeo’s EvenLED technology provides drivers with increasingly visible, safer solutions, while offering automakers limitless styling possibilities to create unique and recognizable light signatures.“</p>
<p> </p>
<h2>EvenLED, An Advanced Solution for Regulatory Compliance</h2>
<p>Valeo EvenLED technology utilizes specific patented technology that ensures high homogeneity and efficiency while meeting regulatory photometric standards. It can be used for all safety signals, both at the rear of the vehicle—tail, stop, and turn indicators—and at the front—daytime running lights, and position lights. With its highly uniform luminous appearance, Valeo EvenLED technology can be applied to light and heavy goods vehicles, and complies with all international regulations.</p>
<p> </p>
<h2>About the Road Safety Innovation Awards</h2>
<p>The Road Safety Innovation Awards are organized annually by the French Authority for Road Safety and Traffic.

Spring Clean Your Car: Get Ready for the Road with Valeo

<p>Whether you're planning a weekend getaway or just preparing for the warmer months, Valeo has you covered.</p>
<p>Follow this spring cleaning guide to ensure your car is safe, clean, and ready for any adventure.</p>
<p> </p>
<h2>1. Check Your Wiper Blades for Clear Visibility</h2>
<p>Over time, wiper blades can wear out, leading to reduced visibility during rain. If the rubber is cracked or worn, they won’t clear your windshield properly, increasing the risk of impaired vision.</p>
<p>Fortunately, wipers are quick and easy to change. Visit your local garage or do it yourself. Don’t forget to check your screenwash levels and refill them if needed.</p>
<p><strong>Valeo Tip</strong>: For optimal performance, choose Valeo Silencio™ wipers, designed for durability and perfect fit.</p>
<p> </p>
<h2>2. Test Your Lights for Safe Driving</h2>
<p>Lights are essential for visibility and safety on the road. Before setting off, check all your lights, including:</p>
<ul><li>Brake lights</li>
	<li>Headlights (low and high beams)</li>
	<li>Fog lights</li>
	<li>Reverse lights</li>
	<li>Indicators</li>
</ul><p>Ensure that all bulbs are working correctly, and replace any that are dim or faulty. Properly functioning lights make you more visible to other drivers and help you see clearly at night.</p>
<p> </p>
<h2>3. Inspect Your Brakes for Safety</h2>
<p>Your brakes are one of the most crucial safety features of your car. Make sure they are in top condition by having a trusted mechanic check the brake pads and discs for wear. Additionally, check your brake fluid levels:</p>
<ul><li>A low fluid level may indicate a leak or worn brake pads.</li>
	<li>The fluid should be a light golden brown color.</li>
	<li>Brake fluid should be changed every two years.</li>
	<li>Properly maintained brakes ensure you can stop safely and control your vehicle’s speed, giving you peace of mind on the road.</li>
</ul><p> </p>
<h2>4. Check Essential Fluids for Smooth Driving</h2>
<p>To keep your car running smoothly, make sure the following fluids are at the right levels:</p>
<ul><li>Engine Oil: Ensures proper lubrication and prevents engine wear.</li>
	<li>Coolant: Prevents your engine from overheating.</li>
</ul><p>Check these fluids 2-3 times a year or before any long journey to avoid breakdowns and ensure optimal performance.</p>
<p> </p>
<h2>5. Inspect Your Tyres for Safety and Fuel Efficiency</h2>
<p>Properly maintained tyres improve handling, reduce fuel consumption, and enhance safety. Before heading out on a road trip:</p>
<ul><li>Check tyre pressure according to the manufacturer’s recommendations (usually found on the driver’s door frame).</li>
	<li>Inspect tyre tread for wear and replace tyres if they are worn out.</li>
	<li>Ensure your tyres are less than 5 years old, as rubber degrades over time.</li>
	<li>Tyre Pressure Tip: Remember that your car's load and road type can affect tyre pressure. Adjust accordingly for a safe and comfortable ride.</li>
</ul><p> </p>
<h2>6. Clean Your Car’s Interior for a Fresh Start</h2>
<p>Spring cleaning isn’t just for your home! A clean car interior enhances comfort and hygiene. Disinfect frequently touched surfaces such as:</p>
<ul><li>Steering wheel</li>
	<li>Gear stick</li>
	<li>Touch screens</li>
	<li>Buttons and switches</li>
</ul><p>A well-maintained car not only keeps you safe but also ensures a more enjoyable driving experience. Spring clean your car with Valeo’s trusted products and hit the road with confidence.<br />
 </p>
<p>Start your spring cleaning now!</p>


Spring is here and it's the perfect time to give your car a thorough check-up. Follow this guide to ensure your car is safe, clean, and ready for any adventure.

Leading the Way in Electrification

<h2>Showcasing Cutting-Edge Electrification and Innovation</h2>
<p>Made up of three parts—a plenary conference in Budapest, onsite workshops and the visit of Valeo’s Veszprém Factory, a multi-products site that specializes in the production of high-voltage technologies and systems for well-known automotive car makers. </p>
<p><br />
The <strong>EV Tech Days</strong> showcased Valeo’s approach to High Voltage Powertrain Electrification and its associated Thermal Management,48V Hybrid Technology, and EV Training with Valeo's Tech Academy.</p>
<p> </p>
<h2>The Future is Getting Brighter</h2>
<p>By 2030, <strong>93% of all new cars will include a form of electrification</strong> and one-third of the European car parc will consist of electrified vehicles (either fully electric or hybrid).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This is good news. Electrification is emerging as the most viable, affordable, and energy-efficient solution to reducing the carbon footprint of the automotive industry, which currently stands at about <strong>18% of global CO<sub>2</sub> emissions</strong>.</p>
<p> </p>
<h2>Levels of Electrification</h2>
<p>When discussing “<strong>electrification</strong>,” many immediately think of fully electric vehicles, but it encompasses much, much more.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The current and future car parcs include <strong>multiple levels of electrification</strong>: low-voltage systems like 48V mild hybrids (combining small electric motors with internal combustion engines for improved fuel efficiency), high-voltage systems like 400V and 800V for both full and plug-in hybrids, and fully electric vehicles.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Valeo’s strength lies in its ability to support all of these levels of electrification.</p>
<p> </p>
<h2>A Pioneer in Electrification</h2>
<p>As a pioneer in electrification for <strong>over 20 years</strong>, Valeo has continually introduced innovative solutions for electrified vehicles. A brief history shows that:</p>
<p> </p>
<ul><li>In 2004, Valeo created the <strong>iStARS system</strong>, a belt starter/alternator that optimizes Stop-Start functionality.</li>
	<li>In 2012, Valeo launched its <strong>48V Belt Starter Generator (iBSG)</strong>, providing mild-hybrid solutions.</li>
	<li>In 2016, Valeo oversaw the creation of the <strong>Valeo Siemens eAutomotive JV</strong>.</li>
	<li>And now, in 2024, Valeo is set to produce the next generation of <strong>“rare-earth-free” electric motors</strong> with Renault.</li>
</ul><p><br />
As of today, <strong>one-third of the world’s vehicles</strong> are equipped with Valeo electrics, from alternators right through to high-voltage systems.</p>
<p> </p>
<h2>Leveling Up Mechanics’ Skills</h2>
<p>To meet the evolving needs of the industry, Valeo launched the <strong>Valeo Tech Academy</strong>, an innovative training program that offers both digital and in-person learning.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>With one in two mechanics unable to maintain or repair electric vehicles, Valeo is committed to <strong>leveling up</strong> and supporting the aftermarket beyond just supplying spare parts.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Ultimately, Valeo’s goal is very simple—to help <strong>build the sustainable mobility of tomorrow</strong>. And over the course of the EV Tech Days, Valeo was able to demonstrate and share its simple vision for the future.</p>

Valeo Canopy™ Wins German Environmental Award!

<h2>Awards Season</h2>
<p><a href="https://www.partslife.com/en" title="partslife">Partslife</a> is a German organization that focuses on promoting and implementing sustainable environmental practices like waste management.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thomas Fischer, the Managing Director of <strong>AAMPACT</strong>, gave a speech in which he lauded Valeo’s product development and the <strong>sustainability of Canopy™</strong> wiper blades.</p>
<p><br />
Resulting in great amounts of <strong>CO<sub>2</sub> savings</strong>, Fischer called on <strong>distributors and workshops</strong> to make active use of Canopy™, both in Germany and beyond.</p>
<p> </p>
<h2>What is Valeo Canopy™?</h2>
<p>With <strong>Valeo Canopy™</strong>, Valeo launched a more sustainable wiper blade created differently, with the obsession of reducing the environmental impact without compromising performance. Produced with rubber compound made from over 80% natural, renewable, or recycled materials, Valeo Canopy™ is the first wiper blade to <strong>reduce CO₂ emissions by 61%</strong> (certified by Bureau Veritas).</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Today’s consumers</strong> are now taking into account sustainability as well as quality when it comes to their purchases. Valeo Canopy <strong>succeeds</strong> in being both <strong>more sustainable</strong> and retaining <strong>excellent wiping quality</strong>.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Manufactured in France</strong> and packaged in recyclable cardboard, Valeo Canopy™ is a holistically created product that <strong>reduces environmental impact</strong> across the entire supply chain.</p>
<p> </p>
<h2>Valeo supports a Road Safety NGO</h2>
<p>Along with the Partslife Environmental Award, Valeo was given <strong>2,500 euros</strong> in prize money. Valeo immediately <strong>donated</strong> this money to <strong>TEILEn e.V.</strong> — an NGO that specialises in road safety education for children.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Almost <strong>30,000 children</strong> suffer road accidents in Germany every year, a statistic TEILEn e.V. wants to drastically change. And with their <strong>“Roter Ritter Mobil”</strong> — a traffic school on wheels — they aim to do just that.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Given <strong>to police authorities and traffic wardens</strong> to use on traffic safety days in day-care centres and schools, these traffic schools are already <strong>helping improve road safety</strong> in many regions across Germany.</p>
<p> </p>
<h2>Sustainability = Excellence</h2>
<p>With <strong>Valeo Canopy™</strong>, distributors, workshops, and drivers can be assured that they use a sustainable product with excellent wiping quality.</p>
<p> </p>

SWF Connect, The multiconnection range, from the german wiper specialist

<h2>Made in Germany</h2>
<p>According to a recent study*, products &amp; Services labeled MADE IN GERMANY are the most attractive* and synonymous with high quality and a long lifespan. </p>
<p>Thus, choosing German production stands out. Taking advantage of the historical German footprint, <strong>SWF Connect production has been relocated in Germany</strong> (for <strong>92% of the references</strong>), in the Bietigheim-Bissingen factory, in which SWF produces a significant part of the original equipment wiper blades.</p>
<p> </p>
<h2>A MultiConnection range: complete, patented and easy to fit!</h2>

<p>Its patented MultiConnection system enables fast fitting for all customers.</p>
<p> </p>
<h2>Excellent wiping quality</h2>
<p>SWF used its best rubbers for an excellent wiping quality in the Flat Blade category.</p>
<p>For the front category, SWF VisioRubber<sup>TM</sup>, a bi-compound rubber, combines the advantages of both synthetic (for tearing resistance) and natural rubbers (for soft wiping). This results in <u><strong>excellent wiping performance over time</strong></u>. This rubber is the Valeo Original Equipment (O.E.) standard.</p>
<p>For the rear sub-category, SWF advanced boost Formula with its synthetic rubber and exclusive coating formula from Valeo, enables a robust blade and great performance in the toughest environmental conditions.</p>
