What Happened
General Motors awarded Valeo the Supplier of the Year award in two categories: Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) for the fourth consecutive year, and Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) technology. The annual awards recognize suppliers that exceed requirements and deliver innovative technologies and high quality. Valeo's streak in ADAS and win in HVAC underscore its ability to deliver innovation, scale and reliability.
“Our ADAS teams are grateful to earn this honor for the fourth consecutive time. We value the trust GM places in our ADAS products, and share their vision for a future with zero accidents.”
“I am honored to receive this recognition on behalf of our team in Brazil, where the complete HVAC systems recognized by GM are manufactured for the South American market. It's a testament to the truly collaborative partnership we've established, which is a powerful motivator to continue delivering the high standards GM expects.”
Valeo's ADAS technologies assist with driving and parking functions using a network of sensors, including cameras, radar and ultrasonic sensors, to create a 360-degree digital map of the vehicle's surroundings. The company's HVAC products are critical for health and safety, as they filter out pollutants and ensure adequate air exchange. Valeo began operations in Brazil in 1974 and is now one of the largest automotive technology companies in the country.
