As China assumes a more prominent role in the global automotive industry, it is also becoming increasingly central to Valeo's Elevate 2028 strategy. During a recent conversation at Valeo's China headquarters in Shanghai, Gasgoo spoke with Valeo CEO Christophe Périllat about how the group is adapting its investment priorities, customer strategy and global capabilities to the rapid evolution of China's automotive market.

He also shares his views on AI's potential to reshape Valeo's internal operations and advance fully autonomous driving, the role Valeo can play in supporting Chinese automakers' global expansion, and how its automotive technologies could create new growth opportunities in areas including two-wheelers, data centers and battery energy storage systems.
