Electric mobility –
thinking ahead with the latest technology
Electric vehicles are making traffic in our cities cleaner and quieter. Using innovative technologies and the latest developments – ranging from electric motors, inverters and chargers through to fully integrated electric powertrain units – Valeo Siemens eAutomotive is contributing toward a low-emission future.
The Franco-German joint venture, established in December 2016, is fully exploiting the advantages emerging from the fusion of the high-voltage technology divisions of Valeo S.A., a global supplier to the automobile and commercial vehicle industry, and Siemens AG, a global technology powerhouse focusing on the areas of electrification, automation and digitalization.
On the basis of the complementary product ranges and the expansion of the portfolios, the joint enterprise is exploiting significant synergy effects in production and purchasing, thereby establishing a foundation for sustained growth and profitability. In this way, the joint venture is combining the best of two corporate worlds.
This excellent symbiosis has made it possible for Valeo Siemens eAutomotive to establish itself within a very short time as a leading supplier in the growth market of electric mobility. The company is currently involved in several development projects, whose projected sales total 10 billion euros.
Experts in high-voltage technologies
As an innovative company in a key growth market, Valeo Siemens eAutomotive is developing high-voltage technologies for vehicles with hybrid, plug-in hybrid and fully electric powertrains.
The product portfolio includes electric motors, eAxle motor systems, onboard chargers, inverters and DC/DC converters. The young enterprise is benefiting from expert knowledge in the field of power electronics such as inverters or onboard chargers, as well as the “automotive DNA” of the leading automotive supplier Valeo S.A., and from the technological strength of Siemens AG with its vast experience, particularly in automation and electric powertrain technology.
Thanks to this close collaboration, numerous automobile manufacturers around the world are putting their trust in Valeo Siemens eAutomotive and its expertise in high-voltage technologies for electric vehicles.
Global orientation
Valeo Siemens eAutomotive is well established in both the European home market and the Chinese growth market.
More than 3.500 people are working at 11 development and production facilities in Germany, France, China, Norway, Hungary and Poland. By 2022, more than 500 new jobs should have been created worldwide in addition to the existing 3.500.
In order to satisfy the demands of customers worldwide, Valeo Siemens eAutomotive is pursuing a global growth strategy.
In addition to the headquarters in Erlangen, the joint venture operates several development locations in Germany (Erlangen, Bad Neustadt), France (Cergy), China (Shanghai, Shenzhen) and Norway (Drammen) as well as production facilities in Germany (Erlangen, Bad Neustadt a.d. Saale), China (Shenzhen, Changzhou, Changshu, Tianjin), Hungary (Veszprem) and Poland (Czechowice).
