Valeo is sharpening its India focus with a €200 million investment as part of a broader push centred on electrification and artificial intelligence, two areas the company sees as defining the future of mobility.
In an exclusive interaction with Autocar Professional, Christophe Périllat, Global CEO of Valeo, said the company is scaling up its India presence to align with the rapid rise in technology content across vehicles. From electric motors and power electronics to battery cooling systems and advanced driver assistance technologies, Valeo is positioning itself to capture growth across battery electric vehicles as well as hybrids.
Périllat emphasised that electrification is not limited to full battery electric vehicles. Hybrids and plug-in hybrids rely on similar core technologies, making the shift towards electrified mobility a structural opportunity for suppliers like Valeo.
Artificial intelligence, he added, will play a decisive role in accelerating the adoption of autonomous and safer vehicles over the next decade, enabling better sensing, computing and software integration.
With India representing a growing share of global automotive output, Valeo’s local investment signals long-term commitment to the market. Watch the exclusive conversation with Valeo CEO, Christophe Périllat.
