Renault Corporation and Valeo form an alliance for the advancement of Software-defined Vehicle Technology
Renault Group and automotive technology company Valeo have joined forces to prepare the future of the Software Defined Vehicle (SDV). This partnership marks a significant step towards offering technologically advanced and competitive vehicles, with a focus on cost and development time.
The collaboration between the two companies demonstrates a strong commitment to push the boundaries of automotive technology. Renault Group has also signed agreements with Google for the operating system, cloud services, and digital twin, and with Qualcomm for the digital chassis and system-on-chip.
Valeo will play a crucial role in this partnership, supplying key electrical and electronic components for the SDV. This includes electrical distribution modules, the High-Performance Computer (HPC), zone controllers for efficient power management, and reduction in wiring harness. Valeo will also provide on-board application software, such as parking assistance, and ADAS components, including ultrasonic sensors and driving and parking cameras.
The partnership will focus on the Software Defined Vehicle (SDV) architecture, which allows vehicles to remain updated and integrate new functionalities without hardware modifications. This approach offers numerous benefits, including reduced development times and costs, improved performance, compatibility, and enhanced safety.
Valeo engineers will work closely with Renault Group sites in Guyancourt, Toulouse, and Sophia-Antipolis, and collaborate with Renault Software Factory teams on software development. This collaboration will bring together the skills, expertise, and innovation of both companies.
The new partnership reinforces the long-standing relationship between Renault Group and Valeo. This collaboration will help Renault Group to strengthen its control of the Software Defined Vehicle value chain, and continues to strengthen its position in the value chain of tomorrow.
Renault Group, and its future entity Ampere dedicated to electric vehicles and software, is committed to this new venture. The head of the Comfort and Driver Assistance Systems division at Valeo, who entered into the cooperation agreement with Renault Group, remains unspecified in the provided search results.
This collaboration is expected to bring about exciting advancements in the automotive industry, as both companies work towards the development of Renault's next generation vehicles. The partnership aims to reduce development times and costs for the electrical and electronic architecture while focusing on high performance, compatibility, and safety.
