About Valeo
Valeo supplies the sensing and perception layers used by vehicle manufacturers to build assisted and automated-driving functions. Its portfolio includes cameras, ultrasonic sensors, conventional and high-definition radar, thermal imaging and SCALA LiDAR. Sensor data is processed through embedded software that detects road geometry, vehicles, vulnerable road users and free space before passing the interpreted scene to planning and control systems.
SCALA 3 produces up to 12.5 million points per second, with a stated 200 m range at ten-percent reflectivity and a 120 × 26-degree field of view. Integrated perception software classifies objects and supports Level 3 and Level 4 applications. Valeo manufactures the sensors at automotive scale and supplies associated cleaning, heating and software, while the vehicle manufacturer remains responsible for the complete automated-driving system.

Events
- 2026-10-01 - Contract Award - Nissan selects Valeo as Tier-1 for next-generation ProPILOT with Wayve AI Driver
Valeo will act as lead system integrator, combining its sensor portfolio and ADAS Domain Controller with Wayve’s driving software. Valeo, Nissan and Wayve will validate and industrialise the solution for mass-production vehicles.
Source - 2026-07-20 - Contract Award - Valeo selected to develop and manufacture Harmattan AI drone motors
The motor avoids heavy rare-earth materials. Valeo describes the award as its first contract in the drone sector. The motor is intended for civil and defence drone applications.
Source - 2026-06-30 - Contract Award - Valeo wins next-generation corner radar contract with North American OEM
The corner radar is designed for Level 2+ and Level 3 assisted and automated-driving systems. Valeo says the platform delivers 50 times the resolution of its previous generation and supports over-the-air software upgrades. The award covers development and production for an unnamed North American automaker, with launch planned during the customer's next vehicle-platform cycle.
Source - 2025-05-28 - Contract Award - Valeo wins Level 3 imaging-radar programme from global automaker
The system is intended to support unsupervised highway driving at up to 130 kilometres per hour without relying on a lead vehicle. Valeo will lead system development, validation and production for SAE Level 3 conditionally automated driving. Series production is scheduled to begin in 2028.
