Valeo showcases technologies for software-defined vehicle and future of mobility at IAA Mobility 2023

Published on : Monday 04-09-2023

From September 4 to 8, 2023, Valeo will be in Munich at IAA Mobility, one of the most important industry meetings.

September 2023 – Valeo offers a complete range of solutions for all electrification levels, from low voltage 48V to high voltage. With standard and modular platforms, Valeo supports the electrification of mobility for cars but also bikes, two- and three-wheelers or light 4-wheelers. At IAA Mobility 2023, Valeo will present its new 6-in-1 eAxle, bringing together the inverter, on-board charger, DC/DC converter, power distribution unit, eMotor and reducer, leveraging Valeo hardware and software expertise to offer optimum integration and use. Also, Clean Motion will be present on Valeo booth with EVIG, a three-wheeled droid conceived by Clean Motion and powered by Valeo e-access powertrain and solar panels. EVIG offers optimised last-mile deliveries in urban environments thanks to its lightest weight to cargo volume on the market and flexible cargo space as well as to its connectivity enabled services.

As electrification cannot be efficient without a strong thermal management, Valeo provides the best technology to secure the battery performance, life time and safety as well as to enable the comfort of passengers while minimising the impact on the range. Valeo will present in Munich its efficient compact and centralised Smart Heat Pump. Thanks to its efficient software and full integration of refrigerant and coolant components, it simplifies the system integration and frees up more space under the hood.

Future cars will differentiate by seamless connectivity, intuitive user experience, and valuable automated driving and parking features. With its focus on protecting occupants and creating a comfortable interior, Valeo will display on its stand, the Cocoon, showing our cutting-edge products in ADAS and interior experience for a safe and enjoyable journey, with software at its core.

As a world leader in the ADAS domain, Valeo offers the widest portfolio of perception technologies in the industry and all the technologies to meet the challenges of the software defined vehicle. For example, Valeo develops a full stack of AI-based software for signal processing, computer vision, data fusion, and vehicle control. This software stack will be hosted in a central domain controller, complemented by zone controllers, all also offered by Valeo. In collaboration with BMW and Deutsche Telekom, Valeo will present a tele-operation demonstration on its booth, with the opportunity to tele-operate a car remotely for parking manoeuvers. This shows the potential for new kinds of services like tele-operated Valet parking services.

Today, lighting expands outside and inside the vehicle, to improve signaling and safety, to improve the driving experience, but also to strengthen communication and branding. Here as well, hardware and software technologies are the backbone of Valeos solutions. Valeo, world leader in visibility systems, has developed the digital twin to help our clients manage multi LED lighting characteristics, integrate vehicle specification and deliver in real time a holistic design visualisation.

Finally, Valeo is committed to being carbon neutral in 2050 and to preserving natural resources by embracing circular economy principles. This starts at the product conception phase by making the right material, technology and design choices. At IAA Mobility 2023, Valeo will present Canopy, the first wiper designed to reduce CO2 emissions by 61% compared to a Valeo wiper blade representative of the majority of wiper blades commercialized in the European market and PURELIGHT, a disruptive concept of headlamp designed with bio-sourced materials and additive manufacturing that allows repair and re-use of materials to minimise its weight and extend its life cycle.
