Paris, February 10, 2014 - Valeo today announced the signing of a cooperation, development and licensing agreement with LeddarTech, a manufacturer of advanced detection and ranging solutions, based on infrared LED technology using time-of-flight measurements. The agreement will enable Valeo to develop a new infrared sensor for volume produced vehicles and cross a new threshold in the development of road obstacle detection and tracking functions. Already a market leader in driving assistance systems, Valeo will thus strengthen its offer in active safety functions designed to meet new EuroNCap 2016 standards in Europe. The agreement will allow Valeo to offer its carmaker customers new active safety solutions, especially in the area of emergency braking in urban environments.
