<p>Available in France, Germany, Poland, Spain and the UK since the autumn 2024, Valeo Tech Academy is now launching in Italy to support workshops in a rapidly evolving automotive industry.  Valeo Tech Academy is a differentiating training program combining digital learning with face to face sessions and built on innovative educational methods.</p>

<div><h2>Italy Leads Europe’s Electrified Vehicle Boom</h2><p>The electrified vehicle market is experiencing unprecedented growth in Italy, creating new opportunities and challenges for the automotive aftermarket. Driven by the introduction of new government incentives, battery electric vehicle (BEV) year-to-date registrations have more than doubled compared with the same period last year, reaching an impressive growth rate of 100.8% (source: New AutoMotive and E-Mobility Europe, May 2026).<br>As the number of electrified vehicles on Italian roads continues to rise, workshops must adapt to new technologies and develop the skills required to service and repair these increasingly complex vehicles.&nbsp;<br>The transition to electrified mobility and the advent of ADAS are reshaping the Italian aftermarket landscape and highlighting the growing importance of specialized training and technical expertise.<br>Furthermore, according to a survey carried out by Valeo, currently, one in two mechanics do not maintain or repair electric vehicles, and 62% do not engage in ADAS maintenance. Yet, since July 2024, all new cars sold in Italy have been required to include mandatory ADAS safety systems as standard, making driver-assistance technologies an increasingly common part of everyday workshop operations.&nbsp;<br>Valeo is committed to supporting the aftermarket beyond just supplying spare parts, helping repair professionals build the technical expertise needed to service the vehicles of today and tomorrow.<br>&nbsp;</p><h2>An Innovative Training Program</h2><p>Valeo Tech Academy provides training covering all automotive systems and brands, not just Valeo products, to ensure a comprehensive learning experience across the entire automotive landscape.<br>Marlène Carrias-Iked, Vice-President Strategic Marketing, Digital and Innovation for Valeo Service: « As a leader in electrification and ADAS, Valeo is proud to leverage its expertise to support the growing needs of workshops with the development of electrification and autonomous driving. Thanks to Valeo Tech Academy, we are able to offer tailor-made solutions to prepare mechanics to diagnose and repair electric vehicles and vehicles equipped with driving assistance systems (ADAS). We have already launched Valeo Tech Academy in France, Germany, Poland, Spain and the UK and, today, we are ready to offer this service to the Italian market »</p><h2><br>State-of-the-Art Digital Experience</h2><p>Valeo Tech Academy is an extensive digital program with 45 hours dedicated to maintenance and repair solutions on current technologies as they make the majority of workshop entries today. It is also a standout new technologies program including 50 hours of online pure electric and hybrid vehicles training from security basics to advanced diagnostics and troubleshooting, and 25 hours of ADAS &nbsp;digital training.<br>All sessions can be followed under the form of short capsules (5 to 30 minutes), allowing mechanics to learn at their own pace and at any time of the day. The program also includes prior and post-assessments to ensure measurable skill improvements.<br>The offer is competitively priced and offers the choice to purchase individual modules or subscribe to flexible monthly or yearly plans.</p><h2><br>Face to Face Sessions Using Simulators</h2><p>Valeo’s new EV and Hybrid face-to-face training sessions lean heavily on practical learning with three training levels:<br>&nbsp;</p><ul><li>L1: Essentials of Electric and Hybrid Vehicle Maintenance</li><li>L2: Components and Measurements of Electric and Hybrid Vehicles</li><li>L3: Advanced diagnostics for hybrid and electric vehicles</li></ul><p><br><strong>Learning on Educational Simulators</strong></p><p><br>At the heart of Valeo’s practical method lies its exclusive low-voltage educational simulator, which enables technicians to practice and experiment without risk.</p><p>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.</p><p><br><strong>150 Failure Scenarios</strong></p><p><br>The simulator includes 150 failure scenarios to allow trainees to test, diagnose, correct, and apply what they have learned. These failure scenarios include:<br>&nbsp;</p><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><p>&nbsp;</p><p>While theoretical learning provides a strong foundation, the real added value comes from simulator-based practice. Training sessions are enriched with photos and videos of real parts, helping participants connect the learning content with the components they handle every day. This hands-on approach has earned Valeo Tech Academy face-to-face sessions a satisfaction score of &nbsp;<strong>9.5/10</strong>.</p><h2><br>Certifications</h2><p>Valeo Tech Academy is a ‘Certified Training Organization’, with courses and trainers certified by the IMI (Institute of the Motor Industry), which sets the benchmark in the standards for automotive skills globally.</p><h2><br>Join Valeo Tech Academy</h2><p>With up to 60% of workshop time now spent on diagnostics, strengthening technical expertise is a real opportunity to improve efficiency, reduce intervention times, and grow business sustainably. Valeo Tech Academy helps professionals stay ahead of an ever-evolving automotive industry with practical training designed to deliver immediate impact in the workshop.<br>Valeo Tech Academy is the latest addition to Valeo’s growing range of digital services for repair professionals, which already includes <a href="https://www.valeoservice.co.uk/en-uk/techassist">Tech Assist</a>, a 24/7 part finder and online technical library, and <a href="https://www.valeoservice.co.uk/en-uk/specialistclub">Valeo Specialist Club</a>, the brand’s dedicated loyalty program.</p><p>Visit <a href="https://www.valeoservice.co.uk/en-uk/tech-academy">Valeo Tech Academy</a> to explore and enroll in our training programs.</p></div>

<div><div><h2>A New Recognition&nbsp;</h2><p>Partslife is a German organization dedicated to promoting legally compliant waste management, recycling, and environmental services across the automotive aftermarket.<br>The award was presented during the Partslife Congress in Vienna on 23 June 2026.<br>This recognition highlights Valeo’s ongoing commitment to expanding its remanufacturing activities and extending reman solutions to increasingly advanced technologies.<br>Both awarded products are part of Valeo’s <a href="https://www.valeoservice.com/en-com/i-care-planet">I Care for the Planet</a> program, which brings together all initiatives aimed at progressively reducing the environmental impact of its aftermarket activities. Remanufacturing is a key pillar of Valeo’s circular economy strategy.</p><h2><br>Bringing Reman to Automatic Transmissions</h2><p>The award-winning Valeo remanufactured dual wet clutch was specifically developed to address a major challenge in the automatic transmission market. It was initially launched for the DQ250 gearbox, which is installed in around five million vehicles across Europe, including 1.2 million vehicles on German roads alone.<br>Until now, when the original clutch failed, workshops and vehicle owners had no alternative but to purchase a brand-new replacement part costing more than €600, excluding labor. Valeo’s reman solution directly addresses this issue, offering workshops and end users an average cost reduction of 25% compared with a new part.<br>What makes this achievement an even greater technical milestone is that Valeo reverse-engineered a non-Valeo technology, developing a restoration process for a highly complex system it did not originally design</p><h2><br>Combining Performance with a Lower Environmental Impact&nbsp;</h2><p>The remanufactured dual wet clutch delivers the same quality and performance as a new OE part while offering a lower environmental impact. Weighing almost 10 kilograms, the clutch enables Valeo to recover and reuse around 90% of its original mass.<br>By recovering valuable materials such as aluminium, steel, and copper, remanufacturing helps preserve natural resources, reduce waste, and support a more circular economy.</p><h2><br>Supporting the Circular Economy&nbsp;</h2><p>The remanufactured dual wet clutch illustrates how remanufacturing is evolving to meet the needs of modern vehicles. Historically associated with simpler products, remanufacturing is now becoming a viable solution for increasingly advanced technologies.<br>This innovation also reinforces Valeo's commitment to expanding its remanufacturing activities and extending reman solutions to increasingly advanced technologies.&nbsp;</p><h2><br>Promoting the Circular Economy Along the Value Chain</h2><p>Unlike manufacturing new parts from scratch, remanufacturing relies entirely on reverse logistics. To keep this circular offer available for the automatic transmission market, the loop must be closed through the recovery and return of used parts, known as cores.<br>Transmission specialists, traditional wholesalers, and workshops all have a vital role to play. By working together, these aftermarket stakeholders can accelerate the adoption of remanufacturing, reduce environmental impact, and contribute to a more circular automotive aftermarket.</p></div></div>
