ELECTRIFICATION REVOLUTION IN THERMAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS Valeo’s Commitment to Electric Mobility With 70 years of O.E. experience – and significant investments in electric vehicle solutions – Valeo is helping drive the automotive industry towards an amazing electric future. For this electrification to be successful, it has to be supported by innovative and efficient thermal management systems (TMS). That’s why Valeo is introducing new technologies that enable high-voltage vehicles to operate safely and efficiently. Superior battery thermal management equals superior vehicles. Electric Solutions for TMS Whether cooling by liquid, refrigerant, or air, Valeo provides advanced solutions to the global aftermarket. High Voltage heaters, chillers, battery blowers, and e-compressors are some of the many products already supplied by Valeo to major car manufacturers. Valeo’s technology is built to give peak performance under highly demanding conditions. Valeo’s 2024 Electric Expansion In 2024, Valeo is offering a wide range of cutting edge products with the latest O.E. fittings for electric and hybrid vehicles. Among these innovations are e-compressors, with a high cooling capacity for cabin air conditioning and battery thermal management. Engineered for heat and vibration resistance, Valeo’s e-compressors are also lightweight for lower energy consumption. These e-compressors cater to a variety of electric and hybrid vehicles, including the Peugeot 208, 2008, DS3, and DS7, as well as upcoming models from Kia, Hyundai, and Renault e-tech platform slated for release in June 2024.

Additionally, Valeo is introducing O.E. chillers for VW ID3 and Hyundai applications, along with low-temperature radiators and other thermal components like heater cores, condensers, and blowers. The Aftermarket Trusted Supplier The electric mobility revolution is the most significant advancement in transportation since the birth of the automobile. And Valeo, as a trusted supplier, will be by Aftermarket professionals’ side the entire way. Valeo’s I.C.E. Range Gets A Boost As important as Valeo’s electric mobility push is, I.C.E. remains at the heart of the thermal market. As a result, Valeo is also introducing more than 2,000 new references for thermal products in 2024. These include blowers (with and without control electronics), mechanical compressors, and water pumps. New references for other I.C.E. maintenance products – such as receiver dryers, expansion valves, and pressure switches – will also be released.
