Tech Academy: EV & Hybrid Face-to-Face Training

However, an IMI forecast in April 2025 estimated that only 67,000+ technicians (around 28% of the workforce) will be EV-qualified in 2025, if current trends continue. With the speed of change accelerating across the aftermarket, upgrading skills has never been more important.&nbsp;<h2>Tech Academy Face-to-Face Training&nbsp;</h2>Unlike most training courses on the market, which cover theory as a first step and practice afterwards, Valeo’s new EV and Hybrid face-to-face training sessions lean heavily on practical learning. This means trainees practice first, experiment second, and finally, work out the theory from their own actions. This practical approach is a tried and tested way to retain new information. Valeo’s Tech Academy EV and Hybrid Face to Face sessions offers three training levels:&nbsp;<ul><li><a href="https://www.learning.valeo-techacademy.com/fr/learn/courses/805/fondamentaux-des-vehicules-hybrides-et-electriques-l1">L1: Essentials of Electric and Hybrid Vehicle Maintenance</a></li><li><a href="https://www.learning.valeo-techacademy.com/fr/learn/courses/807/fonctionnement-et-diagnostic-de-base-des-vehicules-hybrides-et-electrique-l2">L2: Components and Measurements of Electric and Hybrid Vehicles</a></li><li><a href="https://www.learning.valeo-techacademy.com/fr/learn/courses/138/diagnostic-avance-des-vehicules-hybrides-et-electriques-l3">L3: Advanced diagnostics for hybrid and electric vehicles</a></li></ul><h2>Learning on Educational Simulators</h2>At the heart of Valeo’s practical method lies its exclusive low-voltage educational simulator, which enables technicians to practice and experiment without risk. The simulator shows what happens within various components, providing full visibility of internal operations—a feature which would be impossible to obtain on a real high-voltage vehicle. It also reproduces all types of motor technologies for all brands and models, making it both universal and highly realistic.&nbsp;<h2>150 Failure Scenarios&nbsp;</h2>The simulator includes 150 failure scenarios to allow trainees to test, diagnose, correct, and apply what they have learned. These failure scenarios include: &nbsp;<ul><li>Diagnosing complex EV and hybrid issues</li><li>Visualizing faults step-by-step</li><li>Understanding risks linked to high-voltage systems without any danger</li><li>Memorizing correct diagnostic procedures through hands-on repetition</li></ul> While theoretical learning provides a strong foundation, the real difference happens on the simulator. Training sessions are also enriched with photos and videos of actual parts, helping participants make connections with components they see on a daily basis.&nbsp; Lightweight and easy to transport, the simulator allows Valeo trainers to bring high-value practical learning directly to technicians across regions.&nbsp;<h2>Real World Experiences of Trainees&nbsp;</h2>During a recent training session, participants were asked for feedback. “Technologies have evolved tremendously in recent years. As an automotive expert, you must always stay up to date,” says Dominique Queroy, Automotive Expert since 1988. “I had never attended a training course using a simulator. It’s incredibly effective for diagnosing a wide range of EV and hybrid situations.” Queroy strongly recommends both the course and the instructors: “The trainers are excellent, and the simulator makes learning by doing both accessible and memorable.” He also highlights the growing importance of EVs in his daily work: battery concerns, new types of failures, and the rapid evolution of systems.&nbsp;Bertrand Fresneau, an Automotive Expert from Lidéo Orléans, found the simulator similarly powerful.“It allows you to visualize real operations even without having a car available. You can clearly see different assemblies and technologies used in EVs.” Fresneau adds “electric vehicles evolve much faster than combustion engines, so continuous training is essential. This helps us guide technicians in the workshop, identify failure points, and quickly understand the origin of malfunctions”.<h2>Recognised and Rewarded by Professionals</h2>Achieving a 9.5/10 satisfaction score, Valeo Tech Academy empowers professionals to diagnose faster, reinforce their expertise, and build long-term business performance. By combining cutting-edge technical content with practical learning on simulators, it gives repairers the confidence to take on electrified vehicles and complex diagnostics with greater ease and accuracy. In a market undergoing rapid transformation, Valeo Tech Academy stands as a trusted partner, helping workshops turn new technological challenges into real growth opportunities.&nbsp;<a style="text-decoration:none;" href="https://www.learning.valeo-techacademy.com/gb/learn/public/catalog/view/433">Read more</a>

From October 14 to 18 at EQUIP AUTO Paris 2025, Valeo reaffirmed its leadership in the automotive aftermarket with a bold vision supporting distributors and repair professionals as their “Augmented Service Partner”. Combining technological expertise, a strong commitment to sustainability, and a comprehensive service ecosystem, the Group showcased innovations that support distributors and workshops as they navigate a fast-changing sector.&nbsp;<h2>Valeo, a Growth Accelerator for the Aftermarket</h2>As vehicles stay longer on the road and technology becomes more complex, Valeo helps distributors and workshops seize new business opportunities with one of the market’s most comprehensive product portfolios. At EQUIP AUTO 2025, the Group showcased major expansions in engine management — over 4,000 references, including 1,500 new sensors and injectors by 2026, transmission — the market’s widest FullPack™ dual mass flywheels (DMF) range with more than 60 new references, and braking — a restructured brake pad offer and new remanufactured electronic parking brake (EPB) calipers. Valeo also highlighted breakthroughs in wiper motors, doubling coverage to 50% of the European parc by 2026, and presented Ineez™ smart charging solutions alongside advanced thermal management systems for hybrid and electric vehicles. With these innovations, Valeo positions itself as a true growth accelerator for the aftermarket, giving professionals the tools they need to serve every customer—from aging city cars to the latest EVs.&nbsp;<h2>Driving Sustainability in the Aftermarket</h2> With its unique I Care for the Planet program, Valeo is committed to extending product lifetimes, reducing waste, and cutting carbon emissions.

Valeo also leads the way in transparency, as the first OE supplier to publish Life Cycle Assessments (LCA) for remanufactured parts. Results show up to 64% lower CO2 emissions and 88% fewer raw materials used compared with new products—proof that remanufacturing is a win-win for drivers, distributors, and the planet.<h2> Building an Ecosystem of High-Value Services</h2> At EQUIP AUTO 2025, Valeo unveiled the new version of Tech Assist, its free digital platform already used by over 1.5 million professionals.

<h2>250 Part Numbers Covering Close to 200,000 vehicles</h2>
Valeo offers a comprehensive range of freewheel pulleys to complement its alternator portfolio, providing a complete service package for customers.
Designed to meet the demands of modern automotive systems, Valeo’s wide range of high-quality freewheel pulleys are compatible across numerous applications. Manufactured with premium materials, Valeo's pulleys undergo rigorous tests to ensure the highest quality and long-lasting performance.
Valeo’s offer covers all current technologies—from Overrunning Alternator Pulleys (OAP) to Overrunning Alternator Decouplers (OAD)—including the latest innovations on the market. 
With more than 250 part numbers covering approximately 200,000 vehicles, Valeo's freewheel pulleys are designed to fit a wide range of models, making integration and replacement easy.
<h2>What Freewheel Pulleys Do</h2>
Freewheel pulleys are essential components of the alternator and play a critical role in ensuring the longevity and efficiency of a vehicle’s belt drive, including the belt and the tensioner.
 
The primary function of the freewheel pulley is to decouple the alternator from the crankshaft, thereby reducing stress on the belt drive system and enabling smoother engine operation.
By allowing the alternator rotor to spin freely when the engine slows down or stops, the freewheel pulley improves efficiency of the belt system and avoids belt flutter.
 
Its three primary benefits can be described as:
<ul><li>Reduced vibrations and noise</li>
	<li>Increased lifespan of the alternator, belt, and tensioner</li>
	<li>Enhanced overall engine operation</li>
</ul> 
<h2>Two Types of Freewheel Pulleys</h2>
Valeo’s Overrunning Alternator Pulley (OAP) and Overrunning Alternator Decoupler (OAD) are both examples of essential components of the complete alternator system.
 
These two freewheel pulleys, however, differ in their specifications and characteristics:
<ul><li>OAP (Overrunning Alternator Pulley): Spins freely in one direction and immediately locks in the opposite direction.</li>
	<li>OAD (Overrunning Alternator Decoupler): Rotates freely in one direction and offers a “spring-like” resistance in the other direction.</li>
</ul> 
Both consist of a pulley with an outer diameter suitable for a poly-V belt (drive), a one-way clutch unit with bearing supports, an inner ring, two seals, and a plastic end cover.
 
<h2>Smoother Driving Experience</h2>
For a smooth and efficient driving experience, explore Valeo’s complete range of freewheel pulleys, engineered for optimal fit and long-lasting durability.

Valeo’s O.E.-quality freewheel pulleys enhance alternator efficiency, reduce vibrations, and support smoother engine performance across modern vehicles.

<h2>Technology suited to a wide range of uses and brands</h2>
The Valeo Cyclee™ system is ideally suited for urban, trekking, and cargo bikes, including those tasked with transporting heavy loads or tackling hilly terrains. It can easily carry up to 315 kg (including the bike and rider), even on slopes exceeding 14% or when reversing. In urban environments, it provides a comfortable ride, even in traffic and at stoplights. Gravel cyclists will appreciate the maintenance-free system, while mountain bikers will experience new sensations and a newfound freedom in their riding. Many bicycle brands already trust the Valeo Cyclee™ system, such as Ultima, Ateliers HeritageBike, Radior, FUELL, Galian Cycles, OucaBikes, and Cavalerie.
<h2>A second life to electric bike batteries and motors</h2>
The European fleet of light urban mobility vehicles is expected to triple by 2031, reaching a total of 100 million units. This growth will include a significant number of professional fleets that experience intensive use and have higher breakdown rates. In line with a circular economy approach and leveraging 30 years of experience in automotive parts remanufacturing (such as clutches, starters, etc.), Valeo Service launched its first electric bike motor remanufacturing service in 2024 in partnership with Smovengo. Over 8,000 electric Vélib bikes in Paris are benefiting from this initiative. Also, each month, over 500 batteries are repaired at the Circular Electronics Laboratory in Nevers, boasting a material recovery rate of more than 90%.

The use of 48V systems is rapidly becoming the standard across various industries, particularly for hybrid and electric vehicles. 
 
<h2>Valeo Launches 48V DC-DC Converters </h2>
In response to this growing need, Valeo – a global leader in automotive technologies – has announced the launch of 48V DC-DC converters on the independent aftermarket.
A product for mild-hybrid 48V and low power electric vehicles, Valeo’s 48V DC-DC converters are engineered to deliver both performance and energy efficiency. 
 
<h2>What is a 48V DC-DC converter? </h2>
The 48V DC-DC converter is an electronic device that converts voltage between both 48V and 12V electrical networks, while remaining in Direct Current (DC).
This process—of efficiently converting energy between different voltage systems—is essential for the operation of modern vehicle electrical systems.
A 48V DC-DC converter is considered as bi-directional when it converts 48V to 12V (buck function) and 12V to 48V (boost function).
The 48V DC-DC converter used for PSA applications is bi-directional.
 
<h2>Valeo Stands Alone in the Market </h2>
As of May 2025, two references covering applications for FCA and PSA, are available in the Valeo Service portfolio.
FCA applications include: Fiat Tonale, Jeep Renegade, and Fiat 500X 1.5 FireFly.
PSA applications include: Peugeot 208/2008, Lancia Ypsilon, Opel Corsa, Peugeot 3008/5008/308, Citroen C5 Aircross, and Opel Zafira. 
 
<h2>Made in France </h2>
Valeo’s IAM products are produced on the same production line as OEM &amp; OES, meaning that Valeo’s O.E. expertise serves the IAM.
Made in France, Valeo’s short logistics circuit minimises environmental impact and there is no area restriction on sales.
Valeo also provides video tutorials showing how to replace the 48V DC-DC converters, with fitting instructions, tips and tricks, a technical article, and technical training.

Valeo – a global leader in automotive technologies – has announced the launch of 48V DC-DC converters for the independent aftermarket to meet today’s demands.

<h2>Towards a more Circular Economy </h2>
Remanufacturing is Valeo’s key solution to promote a more circular economy. 
Remanufacturing is an alternative to new manufacturing that helps preserve resources. By reusing materials, it reduces the need for new resource extraction and minimizes industrial waste.
Core return plays a vital part of the remanufacturing supply chain. It involves the collection, sorting, remanufacturing, and redistribution of used parts  giving them a second life. 
 
<h2>Returning Core in Four Simple Steps </h2>
To make the core return process as efficient as possible for distributors, Valeo has developed a streamlined system, designed to be simple, flexible, and user-friendly. 
In four simple steps:
<ol><li>Cores being returned should meet Valeo’s specified conditions by referring to the core acceptance criteria documentation.</li>
	<li>The return form should be filled in and emailed to a Valeo Customer Service representative.</li>
	<li>Pallets should be prepared to be picked up within 3 days by a Valeo designated carrier.</li>
	<li>A sorting report and corresponding credit note will typically be received within 4 weeks of collection.</li>
</ol> 
<h2>Why Choose Valeo for Core Collection? </h2>
Valeo’s process offers clear advantages. It’s FLEXIBLE, with pallet pickups scheduled according to the needs of the customer. It’s FREE, transport costs are fully covered by Valeo (if minimum quantities are met). OPTIMIZED STORAGE is ensured, with returns accepted from just 15 units.
 
What’s more, Valeo has implemented several improvements to enhance efficiency:
<ul><li>Clear return guidelines have been shared with garages and distributors to help them easily identify suitable cores before returning them.</li>
	<li>Regional platforms have been established by Valeo to reduce travel distances, cutting logistics costs and carbon emissions.</li>
	<li>Since January 2024, Valeo has shortened turnaround time, issuing credit notes and sorting reports within 4 weeks instead of 5 weeks.</li>
</ul> 
<h2>Driving a Virtuous Circle</h2>
By continuously improving our core return process, Valeo ensures that remanufacturing remains an accessible, cost-effective solution for our customers and the automotive industry as a whole.
From simplified returns and local logistics to fast processing and flexible service, every aspect is designed with customers in mind to make their experience as smooth as possible. 
Remanufacturing is one of Valeo's key circular economy initiatives for the aftermarket, and is part of the 'I Care for the Planet' program—Valeo’s commitment to progressively reducing the environmental impact of the automotive aftermarket.

By reusing materials, Valeo’s remanufacturing limits new resource extraction and industrial waste. 
At Valeo, remanufactured products include up to 80% of reused materials. With 55 million tonnes of electronic waste generated every year, discarding electronic and electrical parts because of a single faulty component is both wasteful and environmentally unsustainable. 
In the words of Christophe Le Ligné, Valeo Group R&amp;D VP and Light CTO:
“At Valeo, we are deeply committed to remanufacturing. Our ambition is to double the number of remanufactured products to 2 million by 2030, and, at the same time, we are expanding our range to offer more electric and electronic products. This major milestone will be achieved through our ability at building strong partnerships within our ecosystem, to deliver remanufactured high-tech products.”
 
<h2>Valeo Reman, as Good as New</h2>
Every manufactured part undergoes the same processes as new ones:
<ul><li>Each collected part is cleaned and disassembled</li>
	<li>Components are individually controlled and then repaired or replaced if needed</li>
	<li>The product is reassembled and tested to stringent automotive standards</li>
</ul> 
<h2>Expanding and Promoting Circular Economy in the Aftermarket</h2>
Valeo’s 40+ years’ experience in remanufacturing electrical and mechanical products includes starters and alternators, compressors, brake calipers, DMF, heavy duty clutches and more recently front camera for passenger cars and even eMotors and Batteries for Ebikes.
Valeo offers online tutorials via its Valeo Tech Academy, including three new interactive modules for workshops. 
Its 2025 Reman Partner Program also ranks some European distributors Bronze to Gold, rewarding them with exclusive bonuses, services, and VIP access to events.

Valeo launches three new high-tech and high-voltage electronic products in Reman and wins the Public Choice Award for Best Reman at Rematec 2025 in the Netherlands.
