On its website, Spheros is promoting thermal management products for various applications, including buses, refrigerated vehicles, and e-mobility.

Valeo says it will also be partnering with Seeing Machines to offer a “best-in-class” full system for interior sensing, available to the passenger car and commercial vehicle segments.

Valeo has owned the site through its subsidiary, ‘Ferentino Automotive Transition Srl’, since 1974, using it to produce HVAC components for Italian OEMs.

The new Power division will gradually take over the activities and product portfolios of the existing Powertrain Systems and Thermal Systems divisions.

With Google Cloud generative AI, Valeo will overhaul its processes for vehicle component design, production, and integration, as well as its quality assurance and customer services.

The Satellite Technical Centre is to focus on end-to-end software, system engineering, electronics, and mechanical engineering, addressing core market trends in electrification, autonomous driving, and reinvention of interior equipment, notably lighting systems.

The ‘Thermo HV’, which is designed specifically for electric vehicles, accommodates an input voltage between 600 and 875 volts and delivers a variable heat output of up to 12 kW.

Valeo has equipped its 250 commuter shuttles it operates for employees worldwide with its Valeo UV technology to help eliminate bacteria and viruses, including SARS-CoV-2.
