Lastly, the Powertrain Systems and Comfort & Driving Assistance Systems Business Groups will present their new technological platforms, positioning with regards to the competition and in the value chain and key commercial achievements.
"In 2017, we clearly announced our innovation strategy and intention to invest heavily in new technological platforms," said Valeo chairman and CEO, Jacques Aschenbroich.
"We maintained these investments despite the downturn in the automotive market and they have now been realised, enabling us to profoundly transform our product portfolio and to reinforce our leadership in vehicle electrification and ADAS, the two automotive market segments that are set to witness the fastest growth over the coming years.
"These technological platforms provide us with a competitive edge by creating high barriers to entry, allowing us to sharply increase our average content per vehicle and deepen our resilience in the face of an uncertain market environment, while at the same time reducing our R&D and capital expenditure as a proportion of sales.
