Valeo and IBM are combining to expand embedded software capabilities.


Valeo will provide automotive expertise and IBM will provide process and methodology support in embedded software within a new Valeo division being created. This joint project is designed to achieve high quality, cost optimised and best-in-class reliability and safety for automotive software.


This innovative software division will support Valeo branches to manage increasing electronics and software technology in vehicles. It will also allow Valeo to meet future AUTOSAR standards. This new division will be operational in July 2005 and will employ more than 80 software engineers by the end of this year.


Recent research shows that 90% of automotive innovation is expected to come from electronics by 2010. Electronics can increase automakers ability to differentiate automobiles in an increasingly competitive marketplace. With the constantly rising amount of software code in automobiles, electronics expertise and reliable process development among suppliers have become vital.
