Beijing Motor Show
Monday, 23 Apr 2012
Beijing, China, 23 April 2012 - Valeo presents five major
innovations designed to make driving more enjoyable, while
reducing fuel consumption.
These include:
- Park4U®: the second generation of this parking assistance
system allows drivers to park their vehicle without
touching the steering wheel, in a perpendicular or parallel
parking space with just 40cm of clearance at each side.
- Air intake module: a new air intake architecture for
diesel and gasoline engines. The air intake module,
integrating a water cooled charge air cooler, contributes
to an increase in energy efficiency and enables more
compact charged combustion engines with lower emission
levels.
- BeamAtic® PremiumLED: smart LED lighting system.
Headlamps equipped with BeamAtic® PremiumLED provide
maximum visibility, similar to high beam, without blinding
oncoming or overtaking motorists.
- Hybrid4all: an electrification solution for the
powertrain. Hybrid4all is based on a belt mounted
motor-generator and a low-voltage architecture (48V). By
combining the Stop-Start function, regenerative braking and
engine assistance, this system offers fuel savings of over
15% at an affordable cost. It is suited to all vehicles in
all categories.
- Double Dry Clutch Transmissions: a system that enables
the motorist to combine the sportiness of a manual gearbox
with the comfort of an automatic, while offering fuel
savings of up to 10% compared to a conventional automatic.
Valeo's continuous investment of over 5% of its annual
sales in Research and Development has enabled us to bring
