Valeo’s EvenLED technology wins 2025 Road Safety Innovation Award

Valeo, a global leader in automotive lighting systems, has won the 2025 Innovation award in the ‘Infrastructure and Vehicle Improvement’ category from Sécurité Routière — the French national road safety authority — for its innovative EvenLED technology used in the design of vehicle front and rear signaling systems.

Effective vehicle lighting systems play a crucial role in road safety, including rear-end collisions prevention. According to Valeo, its EvenLED technology significantly improves visibility and makes it easier for drivers to communicate their intentions to other road users. With a homogeneity of over 80%, it offers a unique and distinctive visual appearance.

Compact and flexible, it blends harmoniously with all types of vehicles, whatever their design. Versatile, it can be used both in red for the rear signaling system, and in white for the front lights. Moreover, it meets the growing demand for lightweight and less consuming solutions for electric vehicles.

Commenting on the award, Maurizio Martinelli, CEO of Valeo Light Division, said: “We are extremely honoured by this award that recognizes our effort to develop technologies for more safety on the road. With its outstanding optical performance, Valeo’s EvenLED technology provides drivers with increasingly visible, safer solutions, while offering automakers limitless styling possibilities to create unique and recognizable light signatures.”

EvenLED: an advanced solution for all safety signals
Valeo EvenLED technology utilizes specific patented technology that ensures high homogeneity and efficiency while meeting regulatory photometric standards. It can be used for all safety signals, both at the rear of the vehicle—tail, stop, and turn indicators—and at the front—daytime running lights, and position lights. With its highly uniform luminous appearance, Valeo EvenLED technology can be applied to light and heavy goods vehicles, and complies with all international regulations.

The Road Safety Innovation Awards are organized annually by the French Authority for Road Safety and Traffic. They honour entrepreneurs, companies, or start-ups that leverage creativity to enhance road safety. The jury recognizes products or services that promote behavioural change or raise awareness about road safety, particularly those featuring new or groundbreaking aspects that are accessible to a broad audience.
