Valeo Freewheel Pulleys: Keep Things Smooth

<h2>30 Part Numbers Covering Close to 31 Million vehicles</h2>
Valeo offers a comprehensive range of freewheel pulleys to complement its alternator portfolio, providing a complete service package for customers.
Designed to meet the demands of modern automotive systems, Valeo’s wide range of high-quality freewheel pulleys are compatible across numerous applications. Manufactured with premium materials, Valeo's pulleys undergo rigorous tests to ensure the highest quality and long-lasting performance.
Valeo’s offer covers all current technologies—from Overrunning Alternator Pulleys (OAP) to Overrunning Alternator Decouplers (OAD)—including the latest innovations on the market. 
With more than 30 part numbers covering approximately 31Million vehicles, Valeo's freewheel pulleys are designed to fit a wide range of models, making integration and replacement easy.
<h2>What Freewheel Pulleys Do</h2>
Freewheel pulleys are essential components of the alternator and play a critical role in ensuring the longevity and efficiency of a vehicle’s belt drive, including the belt and the tensioner.
 
The primary function of the freewheel pulley is to decouple the alternator from the crankshaft, thereby reducing stress on the belt drive system and enabling smoother engine operation.
By allowing the alternator rotor to spin freely when the engine slows down or stops, the freewheel pulley improves efficiency of the belt system and avoids belt flutter.
 
Its three primary benefits can be described as:
Reduced vibrations and noise
Increased lifespan of the alternator, belt, and tensioner
Enhanced overall engine operation
 
<h2>Two Types of Freewheel Pulleys</h2>
Valeo’s Overrunning Alternator Pulley (OAP) and Overrunning Alternator Decoupler (OAD) are both examples of essential components of the complete alternator system.
 
These two freewheel pulleys, however, differ in their specifications and characteristics:
OAP (Overrunning Alternator Pulley): Spins freely in one direction and immediately locks in the opposite direction.
OAD (Overrunning Alternator Decoupler): Rotates freely in one direction and offers a “spring-like” resistance in the other direction.
 
Both consist of a pulley with an outer diameter suitable for a poly-V belt (drive), a one-way clutch unit with bearing supports, an inner ring, two seals, and a plastic end cover.
 
<h2>Smoother Driving Experience</h2>

New Valeo Products and Award at Rematec 2025

<h1>Winner of Public Choice Award</h1>
From April 8 to 10, 2025, Valeo took part in Rematec, the world's largest automotive remanufacturing exhibition, held at RAI Amsterdam, Netherlands.
In addition to launching new parts, Valeo won the Public Choice Award for Best Reman, after emerging as the clear winner with a total of 2,057 votes.
The public’s choice award was fully supported by the 2025 Rematec jury, who recognized Valeo as both “a major automotive parts manufacturer and a key player in the aftermarket.” 
 
<h2>Partnering with Industry Leaders on New Products</h2>
Valeo is now extending its offer to include the remanufacturing of high voltage and electronic parts. 
During the week, Valeo presented what is one of the largest ranges of remanufactured products on the market. This included launching three new high-tech reman parts:
In collaboration with Stellantis, Valeo is launching in the first semester of 2025 a remanufactured LED headlamp—the first of its kind from Valeo—along with a display screen developed at Valeo’s Circular Electronics Lab in Nevers, France.
Partnering with The Remakers, Valeo will launch in the second half of 2025 a brand new remanufactured inverter for the Renault Zoe.
Remanufacturing innovations such as these align with a new era of increased electronics in modern vehicles. 
In 2024, Valeo also launched on the independent aftermarket a reman pneumatic concentric actuator for commercial vehicles, and in 2025, Valeo will be launching the DQ250 Double Wet Clutch (DWC) covering millions of vehicles.
 
<h2>Valeo Reman, Good to Better Preserve Resources</h2>
Reman is one of Valeo's key circular initiatives for the aftermarket, and is part of the 'I Care for the Planet' program—Valeo’s commitment to progressively reducing the environmental impact of the automotive aftermarket.
By reusing materials, Valeo’s remanufacturing limits new resource extraction and industrial waste. 
At Valeo, remanufactured products include up to 80% of reused materials. With 55 million tonnes of electronic waste generated every year, discarding electronic and electrical parts because of a single faulty component is both wasteful and environmentally unsustainable. 
In the words of Christophe Le Ligné, Valeo Group R&amp;D VP and Light CTO:
“At Valeo, we are deeply committed to remanufacturing. Our ambition is to double the number of remanufactured products to 2 million by 2030, and, at the same time, we are expanding our range to offer more electric and electronic products. This major milestone will be achieved through our ability at building strong partnerships within our ecosystem, to deliver remanufactured high-tech products.”
 
<h2>Valeo Reman, as Good as New</h2>
Every manufactured part undergoes the same processes as new ones:
<ul><li>Each collected part is cleaned and disassembled</li>
	<li>Components are individually controlled and then repaired or replaced if needed</li>
	<li>The product is reassembled and tested to stringent automotive standards</li>
</ul> 
<h2>Expanding and Promoting Circular Economy in the Aftermarket</h2>
Valeo’s 40+ years’ experience in remanufacturing electrical and mechanical products includes starters and alternators, compressors, brake calipers, DMF, heavy duty clutches and more recently front camera for passenger cars and even eMotors and Batteries for Ebikes.
Valeo offers online tutorials via its Valeo Tech Academy, including three new interactive modules for workshops. 
Its 2025 Reman Partner Program also ranks some European distributors Bronze to Gold, rewarding them with exclusive bonuses, services, and VIP access to events.

&lt;h1&gt;Winner of Public Choice Award&lt;/h1&gt;

&lt;p&gt;From April 8 to 10, 2025, Valeo took part in Rematec, the world&#039;s largest automotive remanufacturing exhibition, held at RAI Amsterdam, Netherlands.&lt;/p&gt;

Spring is here, and it's the perfect time to give your car a thorough check-up before hitting the road.

Whether you're planning a weekend getaway or just preparing for the warmer months, Valeo has you covered.
Follow this spring cleaning guide to ensure your car is safe, clean, and ready for any adventure.
<h2> </h2>
<h2>1. Check Your Wiper Blades for Clear Visibility</h2>
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.
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.
Valeo Tip: For optimal performance, choose Valeo First wipers, designed for durability and perfect fit.
 
<h2>2. Test Your Lights for Safe Driving</h2>
Lights are essential for visibility and safety on the road. Before setting off, check all your lights, including:
<ul><li>Brake lights</li>
	<li>Headlights (low and high beams)</li>
	<li>Fog lights</li>
	<li>Reverse lights</li>
	<li>Indicators</li>
</ul>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.
 
<h2>3. Inspect Your Brakes for Safety</h2>
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:
<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><h2> </h2>
<h2>4. Check Essential Fluids for Smooth Driving</h2>
To keep your car running smoothly, make sure the following fluids are at the right levels:
<ul><li>Engine Oil: Ensures proper lubrication and prevents engine wear.</li>
	<li>Coolant: Prevents your engine from overheating.</li>
	<li>Check these fluids 2-3 times a year or before any long journey to avoid breakdowns and ensure optimal performance.</li>
</ul><h2> </h2>
<h2>5. Inspect Your Tyres for Safety and Fuel Efficiency</h2>
Properly maintained tyres improve handling, reduce fuel consumption, and enhance safety. Before heading out on a road trip:
<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> 
<h2>6. Clean Your Car’s Interior for a Fresh Start</h2>
Spring cleaning isn’t just for your home! A clean car interior enhances comfort and hygiene. Disinfect frequently touched surfaces such as:
<ul><li>Steering wheel</li>
	<li>Gear stick</li>
	<li>Touch screens</li>
	<li>Buttons and switches</li>
</ul>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. 
 
Start your spring cleaning now!

&lt;p&gt;Whether you&#039;re planning a weekend getaway or just preparing for the warmer months, Valeo has you covered.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Follow this spring cleaning guide to ensure your car is safe, clean, and ready for any adventure.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt; &lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;1. Check Your Wiper Blades for Clear Visibility&lt;/h2&gt;

Leading the Way in Electrification

<h2>Showcasing Cutting-Edge Electrification and Innovation</h2>
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. 
 
The EV Tech Days 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.
 
<h2>The Future is Getting Brighter</h2>
By 2030, 93% of all new cars will include a form of electrification and one-third of the European car parc will consist of electrified vehicles (either fully electric or hybrid).
 
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 18% of global CO2 emissions.
 
<h2>Levels of Electrification</h2>
When discussing “electrification,” many immediately think of fully electric vehicles, but it encompasses much, much more.
 
The current and future car parcs include multiple levels of electrification: 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.
 
Valeo’s strength lies in its ability to support all of these levels of electrification.
 
<h2>A Pioneer in Electrification</h2>
As a pioneer in electrification for over 20 years, Valeo has continually introduced innovative solutions for electrified vehicles. A brief history shows that:
 
In 2004, Valeo created the iStARS system, a belt starter/alternator that optimizes Stop-Start functionality.
In 2012, Valeo launched its 48V Belt Starter Generator (iBSG), providing mild-hybrid solutions.
In 2016, Valeo oversaw the creation of the Valeo Siemens eAutomotive JV.
And now, in 2024, Valeo is set to produce the next generation of “rare-earth-free” electric motors with Renault.
 
As of today, one-third of the world’s vehicles are equipped with Valeo electrics, from alternators right through to high-voltage systems.
 
<h2>Leveling Up Mechanics’ Skills</h2>
To meet the evolving needs of the industry, Valeo launched the Valeo Tech Academy, an innovative training program that offers both digital and in-person learning.
 
With one in two mechanics unable to maintain or repair electric vehicles, Valeo is committed to leveling up and supporting the aftermarket beyond just supplying spare parts.
 
Ultimately, Valeo’s goal is very simple—to help build the sustainable mobility of tomorrow. And over the course of the EV Tech Days, Valeo was able to demonstrate and share its simple vision for the future.

&lt;h2&gt;Showcasing Cutting-Edge Electrification and Innovation&lt;/h2&gt;

VALEO’S NEW E-PERFORMANCE BRAKE PADS RANGE

An Electrifying Marketplace
With 222 references and 92% coverage (Hybrid, EV, and PHEV), Valeo’s new brake pads range will account for over 15 million European vehicles.
 
As electric vehicles become increasingly popular, the number of vehicles on the road continues to grow. According to Frost &amp; Sullivan’s report “European PHEV/BEV Aftermarket Growth Opportunities”, by 2030, 84% of vehicles made in Europe will be electrified and heading towards either 48V or fully electric.
 
High Grade Materials
While combustion engines are noisy and a bumpy ride, drivers of electric vehicles are able to get the exact driving experience everyone longs for—silent and comfortable. They also get peace of mind. Valeo’s E-performance brake pads use soft friction materials – composed of carbons and ceramics – which absorb noise and vibrations made during braking.
 
Because of these soft materials, 20-25% less brake dust is produced each time the brake is applied, and the brake pads last longer, helping to avoid vibrations in the steering wheel.
 
Added to that, Valeo’s EV brake pads incorporate NRS®  technology between the friction material and the back plate. This reduces the risk of delamination and increases durability.
 
Better for the Environment, Better for You…
EV is better for the environment, and governments are starting to take notice. From diesel bans in European cities to thermal engine bans across entire countries, the automotive industry is changing.
 
As a leader in electrification, Valeo aims to deliver the best possible offer to customers with electrified vehicles, while supporting those drivers who are making the transition to electric. Brake pads are a significant part of that change.
 
“The strong order intake recorded proves that Valeo has the right positioning and technologies in a rapidly changing sector. This means that our customers trust us to support them in this transformation.” – Christophe Périllat, Valeo CEO
 
More to Come in 2024!
As extensive as Valeo’s new brake pads range is, there is no stopping there. An extension of 30 more references will be launched in Q3 of 2024, covering even more vehicles.
 
When it comes to EV, Valeo has what you need…!

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;An Electrifying Marketplace&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;With &lt;strong&gt;222 &lt;/strong&gt;references and&lt;strong&gt; 92%&lt;/strong&gt; coverage (Hybrid, EV, and PHEV), Valeo’s new brake pads range will account for over 15 million European vehicles.&lt;/p&gt;

INVENT, VALEO’S 2024 AFTERMARKET INNOVATIONS ROADSHOW | Valeo Service

INVENT, VALEO’S 2024 AFTERMARKET INNOVATIONS ROADSHOW

<h2>A New Year’s Resolution</h2>
In the EU, where heavy duty commercial vehicles account for almost 80% of land freight transport – equal to almost 25% of the transport sector’s CO2 emissions – it’s more important than ever to find ways to cut waste and emissions.
From 1st of January, 2024, Valeo is implementing its core deposit scheme for Reman CV Clutch Kits in Europe. This comes as part of Valeo’s wider goal of accelerating the circular economy and thereby consuming as few new raw materials as possible.
<blockquote>
As Christophe Perillat, Valeo’s CEO, has said, “Decarbonization mobility must go hand in hand with greater circularity and resources preservation.”
</blockquote>
Fully optimizing the consumption of resources is an automotive aim in which Valeo is not alone. The whole road freight industry, from manufacturers to haulers, is committed to a more sustainable transport system.
Remanufacturing is one of the central pillars of Valeo’s 4R strategy, along with Recycle, Repair, and Robust design. It is also an integral part of Valeo’s multifaceted approach to sustainability: I Care 4 the Planet.
The core deposit scheme falls into both sustainability approaches and has simplicity at its core. The aim is to recover as many CV clutch kit cores from the market as possible in order to fuel Valeo’s remanufacturing production lines.
In a nutshell, the core deposit is a simple circular exchange system:
<img alt="Valeo CV Clutch Cores Scheme in 2024" class="ck-responsive-img align-center" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="1691c2a1-5803-455a-854e-1403df8a74a4" loading="lazy" src="https://staging.assets.web4u.valeoservice.systems/d8/prod/s3fs-public/inline-images/body1-CV-Clutch-Cores-Scheme_2.png" width="317" height="289" /> 
Valeo’s CV core deposit system has been made to be simply understood, with only 3 core bands (T, U, V) and 2 different costs (100€ or 200€), as in the table below:
<img alt="Valeo CV Clutch Cores Scheme in 2024" class="ck-responsive-img" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="c653b5c7-aa51-49a7-b1f6-2a4865061774" loading="lazy" src="https://staging.assets.web4u.valeoservice.systems/d8/prod/s3fs-public/inline-images/body2-CV-Clutch-Cores-Scheme_2.png" width="965" height="462" />
<h2>Reverse Logistics System</h2>
Using a reverse logistics system that is quick and seamless, Valeo makes things easy for distributors, with a quick four week turnaround from collection pick-up to sorting report.
All that workshops need to do once the repair is completed is recover the cores, place them in the Valeo box, and then send them back to the distributor. The distributor stores them in a safe and dry place while Valeo ensures the reverse logistics from the collection of the cores to the deposit refund for all accepted cores.
<h2> 
Putting Down a Deposit on Our Future</h2>
To get the ball rolling along the distribution chain, Valeo is implementing an extensive support plan, augmented by a massive promotional programme during the first semester of 2024.
<h2> 
As Good As New</h2>
It truly can’t be overstated – reman CV clutches are AS GOOD AS NEW and have the same functional characteristics as new clutches. This is the reason they are offered with the very same 2-year warranty and unlimited mileage anywhere in Europe.
The very PROCESS of reman drives sustainability and the circular economy by decarbonising the CV Aftermarket while preserving resources. And come 2024, Valeo’s CV core deposit scheme will do just that!
Using a cleaner industrial process with less CO2 emissions, Valeo’s scheme perfectly fits with fleet sustainability initiatives. Moreover, compared with others available on the market, Valeo’s reman CV clutches are better priced than new clutches and benefit from a better life cycle cost too.
Add O.E. specs and original working conditions into the mix, and Valeo will be offering the market a product that is simply too good to pass up!
Come 2024, Valeo’s CV core deposit scheme plans to do just that!

From 1st of January, 2024, Valeo is implementing its core deposit scheme for Reman CV Clutch Kits in Europe.

<h2>A BRIGHTER FUTURE</h2>
It is no secret that the automotive world is undergoing a major electric revolution – and Valeo sits at the very heart of it.
To reduce its carbon footprint, the European parc is being electrified through multiple initiatives – and by 2030, more than 30% of vehicles on the road are set to be electrified.
Many opportunities will appear in the aftermarket. New spare parts will be equipped in Hybrid and Electric vehicles, and a challenge such as accessing parts is going to be a top priority for actors working in the IAM.
The two domains that will be most impacted by electrification are Powertrain and Thermal Management. Valeo has already made huge advancements in both areas.
<ol><li>With the aim of providing more sustainable mobility solutions for the drivers of tomorrow, Automotive Powertrains are being completely overhauled. Valeo’s recent acquisition of Siemens eAutomotive has strengthened its position as the world leader in electrification. Valeo boasts a full range of low and high voltage electric powertrain solutions.</li>
	<li>In brand new vehicles, Thermal Management Systems control the temperature of both the cabin and the battery. 
	Once again, Valeo is an OE leader thanks to innovative thermal solutions invented for ICE, Hybrid, and Electric vehicles. Correctly functioning thermal management systems of electric and hybrid vehicles are essential in ensuring High Voltage Components function safely. This happens by cooling or heating High Voltage components, but also by ensuring that High Voltage batteries maintain an optimal temperature range – and with it, have a longer lifetime.</li>
</ol>By offering the aftermarket these new technologies for electrified vehicles, Valeo is helping steer the ongoing electric revolution. This strategy began in 2020, with the launch of the iBSG (Integrated Belt-driven Starter Generator) for Mild Hybrid Technologies, which was the very first one on the market.
This was soon followed in 2022 by the introduction of the DWC DMFs – technology that was recognized as hugely innovative in helping reduce the noise, vibration, and harshness associated with the start-stop mechanism of hybrid vehicles.
The most recent aftermarket innovation in electrification involves the launch of electric compressors — which are one of the key products in thermal management systems. 
By the end of 2023, Valeo will be launching new High Voltage components, including powertrain products such as inverters, OBCs (On Board Chargers), and eDrives.

<h2>Remanufacturing is a great Way 4ward</h2>
An important factor in reducing the automotive aftermarket’s impact on the environment is in creating a more sustainable product portfolio. A remaining product reuses, on average, 80% of the material, and according to life-cycle analysis, reduces carbon footprint on average by 50 to 80% in comparison with a new product.
In line with the aim to reach Carbon Neutrality by 2050, Valeo Service has ramped up its efforts in the Reman sector. As of November 2022, Valeo Service had 8,186 references in its European portfolio and, in 2023, will continue launching 500+ references on existing product families. On top of this, new and more technical product families will be released onto the market including the e-compressor, e-drive, and torque convertors, which will sit alongside traditional product categories such as clutches, starters &amp; alternators, and compressors.
<h2>Spreading the Word 
 </h2>
Launching new references alone, however, is of course not enough.
 
In 2022, in collaboration with their partners, Valeo Service used digital training sessions to successfully teach more than 100,000 automotive industry professionals. These sessions covered pure electrification topics (mild-hybrid technologies and “Basic” level of full electrification), EV associated products (such as Dual Dry Clutches, Dual Wet Clutches, and torque converters), and Reman. 
 
What’s more, Valeo Service has made identifying the Reman alternative for each truck clutch kit simpler than ever before, thanks to its digital tool, “<a href="https://www.valeoservice.in/en-in/clutch-kit-finder">Truck Clutch kit finder</a>”. Frost &amp; Sullivan awarded it the title of European New Product Innovation in 2022.
<h2>Packaged 4 the Future</h2>
The next area of attention I Care 4 the Planet will focus on is the eradication of plastics and the reduction of ink consumption in packaging. These efforts go hand-in-hand with the increasing use of recycled materials, utilizing biodegradable materials, and of course, reducing the amount of packaging used in the first place.
<h2>Logically speaking, Logistics</h2>
<h2> </h2>
The final area I Care 4 the Planet has identified as crucial, going forwards, is that of logistics. Logistics naturally plays an important role in ensuring that goods and services reach customers in a timely and cost-effective manner. But a modern logistics system must also take the environment into account.
 
First, Valeo Service puts high attention on producing as close as possible to the markets where the products are distributed. In addition, Valeo Service is looking at reducing carbon emissions by developing direct deliveries to customers so as to avoid intermediate steps along the way. This approach is completed by supporting the Reforest Action association: Valeo Service plants a tree for each ton of direct delivery, helping to create a virtuous logistics distribution flow.
 
This being said, Valeo Servicing isn’t forgetting the small things and also plans to optimize transportation fill rates by consolidating shipments and improving the stackability of products. All of which will greatly reduce tons of CO2 emissions.
 
I Care 4 the Planet is not just about the big things, but also about dealing in the details. And going forwards, wherever the I Care 4 the Planet logo is seen, aftermarket professionals can be sure that they are working with products which put the environment first.

VALEO CELEBRATES 100 YEARS!

<h2>Not just rubber and metal… water too -WINDSHIELD WIPERS </h2>
 
Never to be overlooked, wiper blades perform the most fundamental of functions in any vehicle—to give the driver maximum visibility when on the road. A clear view is a safer drive.
 
Often not considered until it’s too late, wiper blades can be so much more than just strips of rubber and metal. And with Valeo AquaBlade™, the French automotive giant, Valeo, has turned water into an ally, by helping drivers to see more clearly than ever no matter the weather.
 
<h2>Valeo AquaBlade’s® history . . . at the crest of the wave</h2>
 
Launched in 2012—a unique concept resulting from the emergence of driving assistance and the need for the top of windshields to be perfectly clean—Valeo AquaBlade® was a patented innovation, well ahead of its time.
 
A part of the Silencio and SWF ranges, Valeo AquaBlade® uses a flat blade with small laser-cut holes that allow washer fluid to be distributed along the entire length of the blade.
 
In comparison, other wipers rely on spray nozzles that are either located under the hood or installed on the wiper arm. The benefits of the Valeo AquaBlade® are many:
 
<ul><li aria-level="1">No more obstructing jets of cleaning fluid</li>
	<li aria-level="1">Better visibility and therefore comfort for the driver</li>
	<li aria-level="1">Larger cleaning area, including upper windshield cameras</li>
	<li aria-level="1">Better night visibility (reduces glare and blur)</li>
	<li aria-level="1">Cleaning quality preserved at all vehicle and wind speeds</li>
	<li aria-level="1">Creates a faster driver reaction time &amp; lower braking distances</li>
</ul> 
<h2>Safety first, safety second, safety . . .</h2>
 
The positive effects of Valeo Aquablade™ on driver reaction times really can’t be overstated. After more than 5,500 tests in real driving conditions, performed with Fraunhofer Institute IOSB, the results discovered were excellent.
 
Drivers using Valeo’s AquaBlade™ reacted 315 milliseconds sooner than those using traditional nozzles. And while in urban environments (at 50 km/h), a braking distance of 4 meters was saved, on the motorway (at 130km/h), a huge 11 meters of braking distance was saved. Such distances are often the difference between avoiding a dangerous incident or not.
<h2>Innovation Front, Back and More</h2>
 
Sold worldwide, and through both traditional channels and online, Valeo is currently the only manufacturer on the market to propose Valeo AquaBlade’s™ original technology in all its different specificities: unheated and heated version, specific wiper arm connections, special spline curves to maximize cleaning efficiency, rear version, etc.
In northern Europe, the heated version represents the major part of the Valeo AquaBlade™ equipped car parc, thanks to its tremendous performance in difficult weather conditions.
 
<h2>Wiping away the competition</h2>
 
Offering a wide range of 20+ references, which are the same portfolio for both the OE and the IAM, Valeo AquaBlade™ currently covers the full car parc—a car parc that is expected to grow to ten times its current size over the next few years.
Valeo AquaBlade’s™ PACE award-winning technology is here to stay, and by doing so, make the future both clearer and safer for all.

<h2 style="margin-bottom: 11px;">Why do we need grease ? clutches from Grease Contamination - Valeo India</h2>
 
Grease is required for lubrication of moving, rotating and articulating parts in every automobile to prevent abnormal wear and tear and also ensures there is smooth sliding of the clutch disc on the main drive shaft.  It helps in increasing the overall life of spares.
 
What is grease contamination in a Clutch Disc (Friction material getting contaminated)  ?
 
If Excessive grease is used upon installation (Bearing Slide and/or shaft splines) , pressure plate surface and flywheel surface can become slippery which will affect the performance of the product.
 
3 Major wrong Market practices
 
<ul><li>usage of incorrect type of grease</li>
	<li>usage of incorrect amount of grease</li>
	<li>Incorrect components are lubricated with grease</li>
</ul> 
Usage of incorrect type of grease
 
Always use the correct, high temperature grease suitable for use in clutch environments!
Most of the Valeo clutch kits comes with  a sachet of grease. If the sachet of grease is not available in the packaging use only a high pressure, high temperature grease, such as BR2 type grease
Copper based grease is unsuitable for use due to its low viscosity and melting temperatures.
 
Usage of incorrect amount of grease
Only a thin coating of grease is required. The parts require lubrication.
Incorrect components are lubricated with grease
DO NOT APPLY GREASE DIRECTLY TO THE SPLINES ON THE DRIVE PLATE HUB. The grease will be pushed out from the splines during installation of the input shaft allowing it to accumulate on the outside of the hub.
 
Lubricate: The release bearing guide. The fork bearings. The primary shaft
pilot bearing or bushing.

<h2>Valeo parking sensors: An essential part of ADAS technology</h2>
 
With each passing year, ADAS (advanced driver-assistance systems) technology is becoming ever more powerful and intrinsic to the driving experience. Whether it’s Forward Collision Warning (FCW), Automatic Parking Systems (using Valeo’s sensors), 360 vue systems (for parking and very low speed manoeuvre assistance), or lane departure warning systems (LDW), driving today is not what it was for people driving twenty years ago. Furthermore, the experience of driving today won’t be the same as it will be in years to come.
 
ADAS is a growing market, with 75% of new cars expected to have rear/surround cameras and ultrasonic sensors by 2025, 100% of new cars to have a front camera behind the windshield by 2025, and 5% of new cars to be fitted with a front LiDAR sensor by 2030 (the technology being used to develop self-driving cars).
<h2>Valeo's strong market position</h2>
 
Given the importance of ADAS, both in the present and the future, Valeo has made sure to be front and centre when it comes to providing ADAS technology to the automotive industry and currently holds a very strong industrial position in the sector.
 
Valeo is the global leader in both parking and driving assistance systems, with more than 30 years of high volume production, 30 million systems delivered each year, and 30% of new vehicles using ADAS manufactured by Valeo.
 
<h2>Ultrasonic parking sensors</h2>
 
One of the most important of all the advanced driver-assistance systems is Ultrasonic Parking Sensors. These sensors are fitted on the bumpers and sides of the vehicle to enable detection of any obstacles during manual parking, automatic parking, or low speed driving, such as in cities and traffic jams.
 
Valeo has been a pioneer of ultrasonic parking assistance since 1991, but in 2016 made even greater strides with Park4U® Remote. Park4U® Remote acts to perform both perpendicular and parallel parking through the simple use of a smartphone. Using inexpensive sensors, the Park4U® Remote detects and measures available spaces on the side of the road, and once a suitable parking space is identified, the driver is notified and the car then parks itself.
<h2> 
Ultrasonic parking sensors: A growing market led by Valeo</h2>
 
As of 2021, approximately 156 million vehicles in Europe are estimated to have been equipped with ultrasonic parking sensors, with up to 16 sensors fitted per vehicle. This leaves up to 60% of vehicles to be fitted with UPAs by 2027, in what is a quickly expanding market. What’s more, given the external placement of these sensors, the yearly UPA replacement market is estimated to be 3.5 million sensors in Europe being replaced in 2021 alone.
 
Valeo is one of the major parking sensor manufacturers on the market with over 1.5 billion sensors produced to date. There is still huge potential in the UPA market for years to come, as ADAS becomes the industry standard for both manufacturers and customers alike.
 
<h2> 
Valeo ultrasonic sensors: A strong &amp; standardised range for the IAM</h2>
 
Valeo’s standardised range of UPAs already included 1 sensor holder and 30 sensors. Paintable sensors, together with the use of standardised sensor hardware and software, allow for a rationalised range,  while covering a broad number of car manufacturers and models. The range so far was compatible with 50 car manufacturers and 210 models reaching as far back as 2007 and going right up until the present day. It also benefits from having 100% original and captive products, along with being standardised and easy to choose and stock.
 
In May 2022, Valeo released even more product references for the ADAS market, with 16 new part numbers out for distribution, which will cover another 6 million vehicles in Europe, 6 car manufacturers, and 36 car models.
 
With a total of 46 references today, Valeo offers one of the most extensive OE ranges of parking sensors for the independent aftermarket therefore covering 56 car manufacturers and 246 models.
 
In an independent aftermarket that is continually expanding, Valeo has every intention of meeting all demands.

Windshield wipers are a small part of your car, but they make a big impact on your driving and overall safety. They can remove rain, snow, dirt, pollen, frost and other debris quickly and smoothly at the push of a button.
<meta charset="utf-8" />
Windshield wipers are your ticket to clear vision out on the road and often we don’t give them the attention they deserve, waiting for a failure to consider what could be done to ensure longevity. 
There are some common problems with wipers which need to be addressed.
1.Unclear windshield - This could be because of the hardness of the wipers.Wipers are made of soft rubber and over time the rubber gets hardened.This hardened rubber will be brittle and stiff and will not help in cleaning the windshield.
2.Smearing or Shuttering - If your blades are smearing or shuttering, it’s likely your <a href="https://www.valeoservice.in/en-in/passenger-car/car-wiper-blades">wipe</a>r blades are torn, cracked or deteriorating in some fashion. Brittle or damaged blades will be unable to clean your windows to an adequate level.
3.Water Beads - Beading water traditionally means it’s easier to clear than normal, although if water is beading and not being removed by wipers it’s due to a buildup of oil and residue that wipers are unable to adequately clear. In order to negate this issue, regularly clean both your windscreen and wipers, removing the dirt and residue that builds up over time.
4.Wiper Arms are loose-If your wiper arms are loose it is likely that the pivot nuts are loose. Wiper pivot nuts are the small nut that ensures the wiper arm is tightly connected.
 
<meta charset="utf-8" />
Valeo, a global leader in Wiping systems, introduced 12 new <a href="https://www.valeoservice.in/en-in/passenger-car/car-wiper-blades">wiper</a> set part numbers for covering the most of the total car park available.

<h2 style="margin-bottom: 11px;"> </h2>
<h2 style="margin-bottom: 11px;">Why is self Adjusting Technology required (S.A.T.)</h2>
 
A clutch is the interface between the engine and the gearbox, enabling the interruption of torque transfer for gear change. When the clutch is engaged, the full engine torque is transmitted to the gearbox input shaft. The clutch disc is located between the pressure plate of the cover and the flywheel. In the engaged position the two facings are squeezed between these two friction surfaces so that the facing on one side of the clutch disc is in contact with the flywheel friction surface and the facing on the other side is in contact with the cover pressure plate.
Despite different qualities and technologies, these facings are subject to wear over time. Due to the loss of thickness of the facings, the pressure plate moves towards the flywheel, and the diaphragm in contact with the pressure plate changes angle Accordingly.
The actuation force that needs to be applied to the cover via the clutch pedal increases. As a result the pedal effort for the driver becomes greater.
The same pedal effort can be maintained throughout the entire clutch life thanks to the Self Adjusting Technology (S.A.T.). The constant pedal effort is obtained by increasing the effective thickness of the pressure plate. Valeo has been producing S.A.T. clutches for car
manufacturers since the year 2000.

<h2>What Does an Air Compressor in a Car Do?</h2>
Air compressors have made life easier for people on countless fronts since the early days of automotive assembly. One of the greatest innovations was<a href="https://www.valeoservice.in/en-in/passenger-car/air-conditioning-system-cars-and-air-conditioning-spare-parts/compressors-car-air"> Air Conditioning,</a> which made life easier for people in the humid depths of summer months.
A/C systems were soon incorporated into automobiles, which allowed families to commute and embark on vacations in greater comfort because temperatures inside of passenger compartments could now be lowered by at least 20° from the outdoor weather. So what does a car’s air compressor do? The air compressor makes the whole A/C process possible in vehicles.
 
<h2>How Does the Air Compressor Cool Your Car?</h2>
When the temperatures start to rise along the highways and congested roads, there’s nothing more refreshing than the cool blast of air conditioning from the vents of a car, truck or van. In the heat of 85°-plus temperatures, that icy A/C breeze can feel like the ultimate relief from the virtual oven outside.
Despite the cool feeling, however, there’s no actual ice involved in the A/C process. Those icy gusts you’re experiencing are actually the result of hot gases being removed from the humid air. It’s a multi-step, thermodynamic process that’s all made possible by the power of air compression.
Whether you’re the driver or a passenger, you take control of the car’s air compressor the moment you push the A/C button. By doing so, you’ve activated the compressor to compress and hike the temperature of the refrigerant. After activation, the refrigerant is then sent through the condenser, where the heat is lost. Next, the refrigerant goes through the dryer and is purified of contaminants. Once purified, the refrigerant is stripped of its pressure after it passes through the expansion valve. The final step is traveling through the evaporator inside the dashboard, and the refrigerant is rendered super cold and moisture free. The gusts of cold air you feel are the result of the motor’s blower pumping air through this newly cold refrigerant and out through the blowers.
<img alt="Basic Understanding of a Automotive AC compressor" class="ck-responsive-img" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="55e6f77e-295b-4042-9f32-0d01f848124b" height="391" src="https://staging.assets.web4u.valeoservice.systems/d8/prod/s3fs-public/inline-images/Untitled%20design%20%283%29.png?TNbVrb65jD83ZRb8OAHdAUHCCbpqKzHp" width="465" loading="lazy" />
 
<h2>How Long Do A/C Air Compressors Last?</h2>
To the vast majority of drivers, the functions that take place under the hood of a car are seldom considered — unless a strange sound is heard or a warning light flashes. As a function of vehicles that’s used primarily during warmer months, the air conditioning compressor doesn’t quite face the same amount of year-round wear and tear as the brakes and clutch, but it does have its share of vulnerabilities. After all, it’s the drive belt of the engine that sets the whole A/C process into motion.
While it’s hard to determine the amount of time a given car part will function to its maximum abilities, certain factors might indicate the likely lifespan of an A/C air compressor. The foremost factor is the vehicle’s age. While new vehicles tend to be equipped with more durable compressors, the toll of mileage can affect any of the internal parts. If the compressor bears repeated undue stress over time, it could slowly lose its ability to send cool air into the passenger compartment.
While the A/C compressor can benefit from the relative lack of wear during winter months, it can also stagnate if left to hibernate during this time. Therefore, it’s best to activate the A/C for at least 10 minutes every 30 days between November and February to ensure it doesn’t take a permanent rest. Granted, the functions in question here are not limited to the A/C in all vehicles. In some cars, the compressor is also utilized to offer heat and ventilation, both of which tend to be used primarily between late fall and early spring.
<h2>How Often Should an AC compressor Undergo Maintenance?</h2>
The litmus test for a working A/C system is whether or not it keeps you and your passengers sufficiently cool when it’s hot outside. If a few minutes of breeze actually makes your car feel too cold — despite temperatures of 95° or more outside — then your A/C isn’t due for maintenance and probably won’t be for the foreseeable future. As the saying goes, if it isn’t broken, don’t fix it — the money can be saved or allocated to other areas of car repair.
So when should you take your vehicle in for A/C maintenance? If coldness is either slight or nonexistent in the air coming through the vents, it’s likely due to problems with the system. Depending on the extent of the problem, you’ll either need a recharge or an outright replacement of the A/C air compressor. For most cars, a recharge is needed every few years, but replacements can be avoided for the average span of ownership of most vehicles as long as due care is taken for the A/C system.
In any case, when your vehicle’s A/C starts to lag, it’s time for an inspection. Considering the high-pressure functions that a compressor must perform in order to provide cooled air, the circuitry is complex and maintenance is usually best performed by skilled technicians.
<h2>What Is the Key Fluid in an A/C System?</h2>
If your A/C fails to deliver the coolness levels you’ve come to expect, it’s likely down to a low supply of refrigerant — the fluid that makes cold air from hot air. What exactly are the elements that comprise this fluid? For that, a bit of history is in order.
Traditionally referred to by the antiquated DuPont trademark Freon, refrigerant comes in three forms that have appeared in succession since the dawn of air conditioning: R-12, R-134A and HFO-1234yf. Much like oil and antifreeze, refrigerant is one of the fluids that facilitates a vital function in most vehicles.
Technically, the only actual Freon was R-11, which was one of the most common chlorofluorocarbon (CFM) fluids in use up until 1996, when CFM was banned in the United States due to its impact on the ozone. Subsequently, automakers replaced R-11 with the non-CFM fluid R-134A, which scientists developed as a somewhat eco-friendlier though still chemically-laden refrigerant. In 2013, however, the auto industry initiated another change, this time to HFO-1234yf, which is believed to be the most environmentally sound refrigerant yet conceived. With this latest development, cars pose a smaller environmental threat in cases where the refrigerant leaks.
