Valeo grows its camshaft and crankshaft hybrid ranges

Valeo has nearly doubled the size of its camshaft and crankshaft ranges in the last 18 months, with a particular focus on hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) coverage.

The company also boosted its exhaust gas temperature (EGT) sensor and mass airflow meter (MAF) sensor offering, as part of an overall strategy to increase support for independent garages working on hybrids.

One hundred and eighty new references were added to Valeo’s camshaft and crankshaft range in 2023, with another 85 references introduced since April 2024, taking the total up to 570 references overall. Vehicles covered by the range expansion include the Hyundai Kona Hybrid 48V and the Citroën C5X plug-in-hybrid. The entire range now covers 230 million vehicles across Europe.

The company’s EGT sensor range has also doubled in size since May, with 145 newly added references bringing the total EGT portfolio up to 265 references, which cater for 79 million vehicles in Europe. Vehicles covered by this range expansion include the Audi Q5 Sportback mild hybrid and Volvo XC60 II mild hybrid.

Valeo’s MAF sensor range has also almost doubled, having grown by 150 to 240 references in June. The range expansion means vehicles, such as the Volvo XC60 II T8 plug-in hybrid and Peugeot 408 II Hybrid 225, are covered. In total 166 million vehicles across Europe are now catered for.
