Valeo is a pioneer and world leader in 48V EV & Hybrid Powertrain systems, which contribute to significantly reducing CO2 emissions at an affordable price. These 48V systems from Valeo are ideal for two- and three-wheeler electrification in India.

Valeo’s integrated compact electric powertrain systems based on 48V technology are an innovative product for a range of small vehicles. Earlier this year, Valeo introduced this technology in the European market. Valeo is now bringing it to India as an ideal solution to power the electrification needs of two- and three-wheelers that constitute the vast majority of motor vehicles in the country. Valeo’s Special Vehicle Application team in France along with the team in India is already working with key local players to introduce this technology in the market.

This versatile compact electric powertrain system is an integrated solution that combines the strengths of proven products - notably the motor and the transmission unit - with the application and systems expertise of Valeo.  A single solution, it will meet all the power needs for a wide range of two and three-wheeler formats in India.

Commenting on the product, Mr Jayakumar G, Group President – Valeo India, said, “We are committed to driving the vehicle electrification in India through our innovative, customizable and affordable technologies.

We understand that the small mobility market needs are different from the passenger car market. Hence, this 48V integrated compact electric powertrain technology is the ideal solution to address the unique electrification needs of vehicles in the first and last mile connectivity in our country.

We are confident that this 48V advanced integrated compact electric powertrain technology will not only address this need for small mobility solutions such as two – and three – wheelers, but also play a significant role in accelerating the EV adoption in India. In addition, our 48V motor is available as a solution for hybrid electrification needs in four wheelers.”
