VALEO LAUNCHES VALEO CANOPY™ | Valeo Service

<p style="font-size: 20px; color: #333333; line-height: 1.8; font-weight: 500; margin-bottom: 20px;">As part of Valeo's CAP 50 plan to reduce the carbon footprint of its entire value chain, Valeo Service, a Valeo entity dedicated to after-sales activities, is committed to gradually reducing the impact of automotive after-sales activities on the environment and supports its professional partners in their efforts to contribute to a more sustainable aftermarket.</p>
<p style="font-size: 20px; color: #333333; line-height: 1.8; font-weight: 500; margin-bottom: 20px;">Valeo is launching Valeo Canopy™, the first wiper blade <strong>designed to reduce CO<sub>2</sub> emissions by 53%</strong> compared to a Valeo wiper blade representative of the majority of wiper blades commercialized in the European market(*). A performance verified by Bureau Veritas, an independent organization.</p>
<p style="font-size: 20px; color: #333333; line-height: 1.8; font-weight: 500; margin-bottom: 20px;">Valeo Canopy™'s rubber blade is made of <strong>more than 80% natural, renewable, or recycled materials</strong> such as cane sugar, vegetable oils, or carbon black from recycled tires.</p>
<img alt="Rubber Compound" class="ck-responsive-img align-center" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="e9bc4b88-8112-4377-9dd2-dbf769fdc221" height="359" loading="lazy" src="https://staging.assets.web4u.valeoservice.systems/d8/prod/s3fs-public/inline-images/Canopy%20Rubber_460x320%20EN.jpg" width="516" /><p style="font-size: 20px; color: #333333; line-height: 1.8; font-weight: 500; margin-bottom: 20px;">An increased share of recycled material is used in other components of Valeo Canopy™ wiper blades, with up to <strong>15% recycled steel</strong> in the metal structures and <strong>up to 50% recycled plastic</strong> in the end clips.</p>
<p style="font-size: 20px; color: #333333; line-height: 1.8; font-weight: 500; margin-bottom: 20px;">The Valeo Canopy™ range of wiper blades is delivered ready to use, without unnecessary adapters to be thrown away while offering great ease of assembly. <strong>It covers 95% of the vehicles in the European fleet</strong>.</p>
<p style="font-size: 20px; color: #333333; line-height: 1.8; font-weight: 500; margin-bottom: 20px;">Valeo doesn't stop there; Valeo Canopy™ comes in <strong>100% cardboard packaging, fully recyclable, and printed with solvent-free water-based inks</strong>.</p>
<img alt="100% Cardboard" class="ck-responsive-img align-center" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="200332ff-9e56-4bf9-b225-f5bcca514eb7" height="354" loading="lazy" src="https://staging.assets.web4u.valeoservice.systems/d8/prod/s3fs-public/inline-images/Canopy%20cardboard%20packaging460x320%20EN.jpg" width="509" /><p style="font-size: 20px; color: #333333; line-height: 1.8; font-weight: 500; margin-bottom: 20px;">In addition to this action on the specific Valeo Canopy™ range, Valeo is committed to eliminating single-use plastic packaging from all of its wiper blade ranges by the end of 2024 in Europe, replacing them with more sustainable cardboard solutions.</p>
<p style="font-size: 20px; color: #333333; line-height: 1.8; font-weight: 500; margin-bottom: 20px;">Finally, with Valeo Canopy™, Valeo promotes both the industry and jobs in Europe, since it is manufactured in the Valeo plant in Issoire (France), from which the majority of Valeo wipers for the European market already originate. The site has been particularly committed to an energy efficiency plan for more than 10 years and certified “Energy Management” by the ISO 50001 label.</p>
<img alt="Canopy" class="ck-responsive-img align-center" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="06929689-e2e5-45b7-923e-bcd225e31cfd" height="339" loading="lazy" src="https://staging.assets.web4u.valeoservice.systems/d8/prod/s3fs-public/inline-images/Canopy%20Wiper%20with%20elements%20on%20right_460x320%20EN.jpg" width="487" /><p style="font-size: 20px; color: #333333; line-height: 1.8; font-weight: 500; margin-bottom: 20px;"><em>Marlène Carrias-Iked, VP Strategic Marketing, Digital &amp; Innovation - Valeo Service:</em> <em>“As part of its 'I Care 4 the Planet' program, Valeo is launching with Valeo Canopy™, its first aftermarket innovation designed to significantly reduce environmental impact. This offer responds to an increasing demand for sustainability among consumers.

<p style="font-size: 20px; color: #333333; line-height: 1.8; font-weight: 500; margin-bottom: 20px;"><em>(*) The Valeo Canopy</em>™ <em>Flat Blade, with a specific rubber and packaged in cardboard box enables a CO<sub>2</sub> emission reduction of 53% compared to a Valeo Flat Blade product, representative of the majority of commercialized wiper blades in the European market, produced in Asia, with a synthetic rubber and marketed in plastic packaging.</em></p>

<div class="news-article__content">
<h2 style="font-size: 24px; color: #83bb13; font-weight: 700; margin-bottom: 20px;">An Even More Silent Mid-Drive Unit</h2>
<p style="font-size: 20px; color: #333333; line-height: 1.8; font-weight: 500; margin-bottom: 20px;">Valeo Cyclee™ 48V mid-drive unit is adaptive and understands what the rider wants. With a 7-speed gear automatic transmission and responding with a 130Nm torque - the highest level available on the market - it boosts all rides, even the hardest ones.</p>
<p style="font-size: 20px; color: #333333; line-height: 1.8; font-weight: 500; margin-bottom: 20px;">Valeo Cyclee™ mid-drive unit is now more silent than ever with a noise level of the complete electric propulsion solution reduced by around -7dB. To reach this new level of NVH (noise, vibration &amp; harshness) efficiency, the new version of the Valeo Cyclee™ mid-drive unit presents a new gear geometry, additional ribs on the cover to smooth the vibrations, and additional bridges on stator stacks. With this evolution, Valeo Cyclee™ mid-drive unit offers the same noise level as other less powerful solutions.</p>
<h2 style="font-size: 24px; color: #83bb13; font-weight: 700; margin-bottom: 20px;">A New Human-Machine Interface Solution</h2>
<p style="font-size: 20px; color: #333333; line-height: 1.8; font-weight: 500; margin-bottom: 20px;">To give its users the best experience, Valeo keeps on improving its solutions. Valeo Cyclee™ introduces a stylish Human-Machine Interface (HMI) solution made of a smart dock, a 2” touch display, and a remote with a rotative throttle. The new HMI seamlessly transitions from city to mountain, thanks to multiple assembly positions and a removable display. Valeo smart dock Phone-as-a-Key system also automatically locks the eBike when the rider steps 3 meters away. Although an anti-theft system already existed on the motor gearbox, this new device enhances user safety with a secure, easy-to-use locking system tailored to the needs of e-bike users. This technology brings an answer to the rise of thefts due to the growing value of e-bikes.</p>
<p style="font-size: 20px; color: #333333; line-height: 1.8; font-weight: 500; margin-bottom: 20px;">Aiming to reduce its ecological footprint, this new HMI has been designed for easy assembly and disassembly, and the materials used include up to 30% recycled plastics.</p>
<p style="font-size: 20px; color: #333333; line-height: 1.8; font-weight: 500; margin-bottom: 20px;">Beyond the design and the selection of more sustainable material, Valeo’s HMI uses Velco Suite, a software suite developed to meet the connectivity and adaptability needs of cyclists, as well as those of bike sales and repair networks.</p>
<p style="font-size: 20px; color: #333333; line-height: 1.8; font-weight: 500; margin-bottom: 20px;"><strong>This software provides connected services through 3 distinct applications:</strong></p>
<ul style="font-size: 20px; color: #333333; line-height: 1.8; font-weight: 500; margin-bottom: 20px;"><li>Assembly Assist module: This WEB application is intended for bike makers and dedicated to the pairing and integration tests of the drive unit, battery, and connected HMI on bikes at the end of the assembly line. It is also used to report diagnostic information for e-Bikes.</li>
	<li>Diagnostic Service module: this web application is intended for bike shops &amp; dealers to diagnose &amp; calibrate the e-bike, update electric kit firmware components, and provide drive unit &amp; components providers hotline support towards bike shops.</li>
	<li>Rider module: Velco Rider is a white label mobile application for riders to offer the best riding experience thanks to valuable services. The mobile app can be customized into the e-bike's brands.</li>
</ul><p style="font-size: 20px; color: #333333; line-height: 1.8; font-weight: 500; margin-bottom: 20px;">The complete solution is multi-engine and is aimed at all e-bikes brands wanting to offer a digital experience to their customers.</p>
<p style="font-size: 20px; color: #333333; line-height: 1.8; font-weight: 500; margin-bottom: 20px;">The Valeo Cyclee™ offer includes two HMI versions: an entry pack with the smart dock and remote, and a premium pack by adding the 2” touch display.</p>
<h2 style="font-size: 24px; color: #83bb13; font-weight: 700; margin-bottom: 20px;">Valeo Involved in the Circular Economy of E-Bikes</h2>
<p style="font-size: 20px; color: #333333; line-height: 1.8; font-weight: 500; margin-bottom: 20px;">In addition to its original equipment activities, Valeo is also involved in the circular economy of e-bikes. Valeo and Smovengo, the operator of Vélib' Métropole, the self-service bicycle hire scheme run by the City of Paris and 64 of its communes, have joined forces to recondition the motors and batteries of the 8,000 electric Vélibs that ply the streets of Greater/Grand Paris.</p>
<p style="font-size: 20px; color: #333333; line-height: 1.8; font-weight: 500; margin-bottom: 20px;">Two Valeo sites specialized in reconditioning were selected for the partnership with Smovengo: the “Circular Electronics Laboratory” in Nevers for the batteries, and the “Circular Innovation Factory” in Czechowice (Poland) for the motors.</p>

<h2 style="font-size: 24px; color: #83bb13; font-weight: 700; margin-bottom: 20px;">Your One-Stop Shop Solution</h2>
<p style="font-size: 20px; color: #333333; line-height: 1.8; font-weight: 500; margin-bottom: 20px;">When it comes to <strong>engine sensors</strong>, Valeo is the one-stop shop solution for the <strong>aftermarket with a portfolio of nearly 1,600 sensors in Europe</strong>. Valeo draws on decades of experience to offer a range that meets changing market expectations.</p>
<h2 style="font-size: 24px; color: #83bb13; font-weight: 700; margin-bottom: 20px;">An Extended Camshaft and Crankshaft Range</h2>
<p style="font-size: 20px; color: #333333; line-height: 1.8; font-weight: 500; margin-bottom: 20px;">Over the past few years, Valeo has extended its camshaft and crankshaft range considerably. <strong>180 new references</strong> were launched in 2023 and <strong>85 new references</strong> have been added since the end of April 2024.</p>
<p style="font-size: 20px; color: #333333; line-height: 1.8; font-weight: 500; margin-bottom: 20px;">New references cover key hybrid vehicle applications such as the <strong>Hyundai Kona Hybrid 48V 2020</strong> and the <strong>Citroën C5X Plug-in-Hybrid 2023</strong>.</p>
<p style="font-size: 20px; color: #333333; line-height: 1.8; font-weight: 500; margin-bottom: 20px;">These new additions bring Valeo’s Camshaft and Crankshaft engine sensor range to <strong>570 references</strong>, comprehensively covering more than <strong>230 million vehicles</strong> across Europe.</p>
<h2 style="font-size: 24px; color: #83bb13; font-weight: 700; margin-bottom: 20px;">Enlarged Exhaust Gas Temperature Range</h2>
<p style="font-size: 20px; color: #333333; line-height: 1.8; font-weight: 500; margin-bottom: 20px;">In May 2024, Valeo enlarged its exhaust gas temperature (EGT) sensor range, with a huge extension of <strong>145 references</strong>. This brought Valeo’s total portfolio for EGT sensors to 265, covering <strong>79 million vehicles</strong> in Europe.</p>
<p style="font-size: 20px; color: #333333; line-height: 1.8; font-weight: 500; margin-bottom: 20px;">By increasing its market coverage, Valeo now covers new hybrid applications such as <strong>Audi’s Q5 Sportback Mild-Hybrid 2021</strong> and <strong>Volvo’s XC60 II Mild-hybrid 2020</strong>.</p>
<h2 style="font-size: 24px; color: #83bb13; font-weight: 700; margin-bottom: 20px;">More Mass Airflow Sensors in June!</h2>
<p style="font-size: 20px; color: #333333; line-height: 1.8; font-weight: 500; margin-bottom: 20px;">In June 2024, Valeo released <strong>150 new mass airflow meter (MAF) sensors</strong>. By upping the references for MAFs to 240 — and thereby covering <strong>166 million vehicles</strong> in Europe — Valeo aims to help distributors strengthen their portfolios.</p>
<p style="font-size: 20px; color: #333333; line-height: 1.8; font-weight: 500; margin-bottom: 20px;">This release in June covers new hybrid applications such as <strong>Volvo’s XC60 II T8 Plug-In Hybrid 2022</strong> and <strong>Peugeot’s 408 II Hybrid 225 2022</strong>.</p>
<h2 style="font-size: 24px; color: #83bb13; font-weight: 700; margin-bottom: 20px;">The Aftermarket’s Best Friend</h2>
<p style="font-size: 20px; color: #333333; line-height: 1.8; font-weight: 500; margin-bottom: 20px;">With its massive sensor development strategy, Valeo has been addressing and consolidating its air, fuel, combustion, and exhaust segments. The goal is clear . . . to meet every last need of the aftermarket!</p>
<h2 style="font-size: 24px; color: #83bb13; font-weight: 700; margin-bottom: 20px;">Valeo Support</h2>

<div class="news-article__content">

<h2 style="font-size: 24px; color: #83bb13; font-weight: 700; margin-bottom: 20px;">Retrofitting for the Planet</h2>
<p style="font-size: 20px; color: #333333; line-height: 1.8; font-weight: 500; margin-bottom: 20px;">Retrofitting transforms an I.C.E. vehicle into an electric one by replacing the petrol/diesel engine and fuel tank with an electric motor and battery.</p>
<p style="font-size: 20px; color: #333333; line-height: 1.8; font-weight: 500; margin-bottom: 20px;">Valeo's '<a href="/en-com/i-care-planet" hreflang="x-default" style="color: #83bb13;"><strong>I Care for the Planet</strong></a>' program aims to reduce the environmental impact of the automotive aftermarket. Thanks to its parts for EV, Valeo contributes to making the switch to electric vehicles easier.</p>
<h2 style="font-size: 24px; color: #83bb13; font-weight: 700; margin-bottom: 20px;">Regulations to Restrictions</h2>
<p style="font-size: 20px; color: #333333; line-height: 1.8; font-weight: 500; margin-bottom: 20px;">Around the world, regulations for emissions have become increasingly severe, and major cities are implementing low-emission zones — and sometimes even outright diesel bans — to combat air pollution and meet climate targets.</p>
<p style="font-size: 20px; color: #333333; line-height: 1.8; font-weight: 500; margin-bottom: 20px;">Since most light commercial vehicles (LCVs) run on diesel, the ban on entry into cities has a direct impact on many businesses. In order to continue operating, LCV drivers, fleet owners, and small businesses are required to urgently switch to electric vehicles. Since buying new electric vehicles is expensive, retrofit is the perfect alternative.</p>
<h2 style="font-size: 24px; color: #83bb13; font-weight: 700; margin-bottom: 20px;">A Solution is at Hand</h2>
<p style="font-size: 20px; color: #333333; line-height: 1.8; font-weight: 500; margin-bottom: 20px;">To help businesses survive in the city, Valeo, a leading automotive supplier in Electrification, offers a range of products and solutions for electric vehicles (EVs) that can also be used for retrofitting conventional vehicles into EVs:</p>
<ul><li>e-motors</li>
	<li>OBC DCDC</li>
	<li>Inverters</li>
	<li>HV heaters</li>
	<li>Electric driven compressors (EDC)</li>
</ul><p style="font-size: 20px; color: #333333; line-height: 1.8; font-weight: 500; margin-bottom: 20px;">These components can all be integrated into retrofit projects and help convert Internal Combustion Engine (I.C.E.) LCVs into electric ones.</p>
<h2 style="font-size: 24px; color: #83bb13; font-weight: 700; margin-bottom: 20px;">Benefits of Retrofitting</h2>
<ul><li>Economics: The cost saving of converting existing vehicles into electric vehicles is estimated to be about 50% the cost of buying a new eLCV*. Not only is buying new electric LCVs expensive, there are also few electric options available.</li>
	<li>Environment: Beyond the economic considerations, retrofitting also contributes to automotive decarbonization. Retrofitting LCVs saves at least 50% CO2 emissions over 10 years*. And by not scrapping the vehicle, retrofitting also contributes to the circular economy.</li>
	<li>Government Support: In recognition of how retrofitting can be important in transitioning to cleaner transportation, governments are increasingly offering incentives and support programs to facilitate retrofitting. What’s more, some governments, like France, are gradually reducing subsidies for buying new electric vehicles, which further enhances the economic appeal of retrofitting.</li>
</ul><p style="font-size: 20px; color: #333333; line-height: 1.8; font-weight: 500; margin-bottom: 20px;"><em>*source ADEME</em></p>
<h2 style="font-size: 24px; color: #83bb13; font-weight: 700; margin-bottom: 20px;">Converting I.C.E cars into electric vehicles for a more sustainable future</h2>
<p style="font-size: 20px; color: #333333; line-height: 1.8; font-weight: 500; margin-bottom: 20px;">In Europe, there are more than 30 million active LCVs facing the challenge of entering urban spaces. With its automotive electrification expertise and established relationships, Valeo is well-placed to support the retrofit industry and help convert part of the LCV car parc into electric vehicles for the future.</p>

<p style="font-size: 20px; color: #333333; line-height: 1.8; font-weight: 500; margin-bottom: 20px;">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. <strong>Valeo’s E-performance brake pads </strong>use soft friction materials – <strong>composed of carbons and ceramics </strong>– which <strong>absorb noise and vibrations made during braking</strong>.</p>
<p style="font-size: 20px; color: #333333; line-height: 1.8; font-weight: 500; margin-bottom: 20px;">Because of these soft materials, <strong>20-25% less brake dust is produced </strong>each time the brake is applied, and the brake pads last longer, helping to avoid vibrations in the steering wheel.</p>
<p style="font-size: 20px; color: #333333; line-height: 1.8; font-weight: 500; margin-bottom: 20px;">Added to that, <strong>Valeo’s EV </strong>brake pads incorporate <strong>NRS<sup>®</sup>  </strong>technology between the friction material and the back plate. This <strong>reduces the risk of delamination and increases durability</strong>.</p>
<h2 style="font-size: 24px; color: #83bb13; font-weight: 700; margin-bottom: 20px;">Better for the Environment, Better for You…</h2>
<p style="font-size: 20px; color: #333333; line-height: 1.8; font-weight: 500; margin-bottom: 20px;">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.</p>
<p style="font-size: 20px; color: #333333; line-height: 1.8; font-weight: 500; margin-bottom: 20px;">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.</p>
<p style="font-size: 20px; color: #333333; line-height: 1.8; font-weight: 500; margin-bottom: 20px;"><em>“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.” </em>– <strong>Christophe Périllat, Valeo CEO</strong></p>
<h2 style="font-size: 24px; color: #83bb13; font-weight: 700; margin-bottom: 20px;">More to Come in 2024!</h2>
<p style="font-size: 20px; color: #333333; line-height: 1.8; font-weight: 500; margin-bottom: 20px;">As extensive as Valeo’s new brake pads range is, there is no stopping there. An extension of <strong>30 more references </strong>will be launched in <strong>Q3 of 2024</strong>, covering even more vehicles.</p>
<p style="font-size: 20px; color: #333333; line-height: 1.8; font-weight: 500; margin-bottom: 20px;"><strong>When it comes to EV, Valeo has what you need…!</strong></p>

As proof of its innovative spirit, Valeo holds the distinction of being the French company with the highest number of patents filed worldwide across all industries in 2023.</p>
<p style="font-size: 20px; color: #333333; line-height: 1.8; font-weight: 500; margin-bottom: 20px;">Valeo's commitment to innovation is exemplified by its Pendulum Gen.2 DMF, recognized with the prestigious 2022 Automotive News PACE Award, thus further solidifying Valeo's reputation as an industry leader in innovation.</p>
<h2 style="color: #83bb13; font-weight: 700; font-size: 24px; margin-bottom: 20px;">Comprehensive Solutions for Vehicle Transmission</h2>
<p style="font-size: 20px; color: #333333; line-height: 1.8; font-weight: 500; margin-bottom: 20px;">Valeo is a leading original equipment (O.E.) supplier in the three key components of vehicle transmission: Clutches, Hydraulics, and Dual Mass Flywheels (DMF). It may surprise you to know that one out of every three vehicles in the European car park is equipped with Valeo's transmission system.</p>
<p style="font-size: 20px; color: #333333; line-height: 1.8; font-weight: 500; margin-bottom: 20px;">Valeo is proud to continue extending its all-in-one kitting solutions: FullPACK CSC, Kits with CSC, and Kits with CRC. By combining Valeo and FTEs OE expertise in clutches and hydraulics, Valeo aims to produce high-quality kits for the automotive industry.</p>
<h2 style="color: #83bb13; font-weight: 700; font-size: 24px; margin-bottom: 20px;">Valeo's Range of 540+ Hydraulics Kits</h2>
<p style="font-size: 20px; color: #333333; line-height: 1.8; font-weight: 500; margin-bottom: 20px;">Valeo offers over 540 Kits with Hydraulics. This includes more than 161 FullPACK DMF with CSC, 52 Clutch Kit with CSC, and 28 Clutch Kit with CRC.</p>
<p style="font-size: 20px; color: #333333; line-height: 1.8; font-weight: 500; margin-bottom: 20px;">Discover our top-selling FullPack DMF with CSC for popular vehicles like PEUGEOT 3008 (837394/837522), NISSAN QASHQAI II (837432), PEUGEOT EXPERT (837431), VW TOURAN (837397), and many more.</p>

<p style="font-size: 20px; color: #333333; line-height: 1.8; font-weight: 500; margin-bottom: 20px;">The latest addition to the Valeo kitting offer with hydraulics is the Clutch Kit with CRC. Due to CRC location and functionality, it makes sense for workshops to replace this part at the same time as the Clutch Kit replacement and provide a component compatibility benefit for distributors. Among the most popular references launched, Valeo offers Clutch kit with CRC for VOLKSWAGEN GOLF V (844115), VOLKSWAGEN TRANSPORTER (844114), and BMW 3 Series (844109).</p>

<h4 style="font-size: 20px; color: #333333; font-style: italic; font-weight: 500; margin-bottom: 20px;">Eco-Design</h4>
<p style="font-size: 20px; color: #333333; line-height: 1.8; font-weight: 500; margin-bottom: 20px;">With an innovative eco-design, <strong><a href="/en-com/valeo-canopy" hreflang="x-default">Valeo Canopy<sup>TM</sup></a> </strong>wiper blades put the environment first, by using a rubber made of more 80% of natural, renewable, or recycled materials and an amazing -61% lower carbon footprint*, validated with a life cycle analysis verified by Bureau Veritas.</p>

<p style="font-size: 20px; color: #333333; line-height: 1.8; font-weight: 500; margin-bottom: 20px;"><strong>Reman</strong> and <strong>Repair</strong> are an excellent way to give a second life to used products. <strong>Valeo</strong> currently remanufactures around <strong>1 million parts </strong>each year.</p>
<h4 style="font-size: 20px; color: #333333; font-style: italic; font-weight: 500; margin-bottom: 20px;">Electrification</h4>
<p style="font-size: 20px; color: #333333; line-height: 1.8; font-weight: 500; margin-bottom: 20px;">As <strong>EV</strong> is undoubtedly the future of the automotive industry, Valeo progressively increases its portfolio of EV spare parts, Ineez charging solutions, and Retrofit solutions.</p>

<p style="font-size: 20px; color: #333333; line-height: 1.8; font-weight: 500; margin-bottom: 20px;">Reuse packaging and pallets are favored to optimize resources. </p>
<h4 style="font-size: 20px; color: #333333; font-style: italic; font-weight: 500; margin-bottom: 20px;">Recycle</h4>
<p style="font-size: 20px; color: #333333; line-height: 1.8; font-weight: 500; margin-bottom: 20px;">Packaging solutions must be designed to be easily recycled</p>

<p style="font-size: 20px; color: #333333; line-height: 1.8; font-weight: 500; margin-bottom: 20px;">As important as sustainable materials are, Valeo’s <strong>direct delivery </strong>and <strong>optimisation flow of logistics </strong>(road/train/sea) is key to future environmental success.</p>
<p style="font-size: 20px; color: #333333; line-height: 1.8; font-weight: 500; margin-bottom: 20px;">By creating efficient processes—direct from the factory to customers—<strong>Valeo</strong> hopes to reverse as much</p>

<p style="font-size: 20px; color: #333333; line-height: 1.8; font-weight: 500; margin-bottom: 20px;">Valeo has made significant efforts to source its components from within Europe, with localized production in <strong>a low-carbon emission factory</strong> in the heart of France.</p>
<p style="font-size: 20px; color: #333333; line-height: 1.8; font-weight: 500; margin-bottom: 20px;">As a result, Valeo achieved a <strong>61% reduction in CO<sub>2</sub> emissions in Europe</strong>, as independently verified by <strong>Bureau Veritas</strong>. </p>

Valeo's Reman Truck clutches, renewing the future

<div class="news-article__content">
<h2 style="color: #83bb13; font-weight: 700; font-size: 24px; margin-bottom: 20px;">Changing Global Perspectives</h2>
<p style="font-size: 20px; color: #333333; line-height: 1.8; font-weight: 500; margin-bottom: 20px;">The importance of reusing resources cannot be overstated and directly impacts our ability to sustainably meet the needs of current and future generations.</p>
<p style="font-size: 20px; color: #333333; line-height: 1.8; font-weight: 500; margin-bottom: 20px;">With these thoughts in mind, <strong>Valeo’s Aftermarket sustainability strategy</strong>, <em>I Care 4 the Planet</em>, has put a huge emphasis on the remanufacturing process – a process of which Valeo’s aftermarket division has more than 40 years’ experience; and nowhere is this experience better demonstrated than in the remanufacturing of clutches for commercial vehicles, a component that undergoes some of the toughest conditions of drive line.</p>
<h2 style="color: #83bb13; font-weight: 700; font-size: 24px; margin-bottom: 20px;">As Good As New</h2>
<p style="font-size: 20px; color: #333333; line-height: 1.8; font-weight: 500; margin-bottom: 20px;">In a nutshell, remanufacturing is the process of bringing back used products to their original condition through a series of rigorous <strong>inspections</strong>, <strong>replacement</strong>, <strong>reassembly</strong> and <strong>test of parts</strong>. In the case of CV clutches, it is a nine-fold process:</p>
<ul><li>Valeo collects the cores and sorts them</li>
	<li>They are disassembled</li>
	<li>Their components are tested</li>
	<li>The good cores are cleaned up</li>
	<li>They are remachined</li>
	<li>The clutches are assembled</li>
	<li>The clutches are balanced and measured</li>
	<li>The clutches are test controlled as if new</li>
	<li>The clutches are marked and packaged to sell</li>
</ul><p style="font-size: 20px; color: #333333; line-height: 1.8; font-weight: 500; margin-bottom: 20px;">When completed, Valeo’s remanufactured clutches meet similar performance standards to completely new clutches, yet are <strong>composed of 80% reused materials</strong>, and according to Life Cycle Analysis, have a <strong>reduced carbon footprint of 50% to 80%</strong>. </p>
<p style="font-size: 20px; color: #333333; line-height: 1.8; font-weight: 500; margin-bottom: 20px;">All this comes about as a result of saving on resources and energy by using readily available materials that don’t need to be extracted and transformed from their raw elements and can be processed in Valeo’s plants in France. </p>
<p style="font-size: 20px; color: #333333; line-height: 1.8; font-weight: 500; margin-bottom: 20px;">As it stands, <strong>Valeo remanufactures a massive 800,000 car and commercial vehicle parts per year</strong>, but has the ambition to double this figure by 2030.</p>
<h2 style="color: #83bb13; font-weight: 700; font-size: 24px; margin-bottom: 20px;">The Value of Valeo</h2>
<p style="font-size: 20px; color: #333333; line-height: 1.8; font-weight: 500; margin-bottom: 20px;">By offering reman clutches on a wide range of truck models, from Mercedes to Scania to Iveco, Valeo aims to provide CV owners with a reliable and environmentally friendly alternative to purchasing new parts. And what’s more, with a <strong>2-year warranty on unlimited mileage (as with Valeo’s new clutches)</strong>, Valeo is offering customers one of the best deals on the market.</p>
<p style="font-size: 20px; color: #333333; line-height: 1.8; font-weight: 500; margin-bottom: 20px;">At the end of the day, Valeo is doing its utmost to ensure that the future is a bright one, and believes remanufacturing to be a central column of that future. Tools such as Valeo’s award winning <em>Truck Clutch Kit Finder</em> allow professionals to identify the Reman alternative for each truck clutch kit and instantly put their ideals into practice. By providing good value, quality, and care, Valeo aims to make the finite a little more infinite…</p>
