China plays a pivotal role in Valeo's lighting innovations. In 2024, Valeo's China team developed a dynamic smart LED ambient lighting system for Geely's premium new energy vehicle brand ZEEKR, earning a spot in the "Top 100 Players of China's New Automotive Supply Chain" rankings of the Gasgoo Awards 2024.

This system features 170 independently controlled LEDs for customizable color and brightness, seamlessly integrated with vehicle communication systems. Its refined optical lens design and 8mm light source spacing ensure smooth and dynamic visual effects for diverse cabin lighting scenarios.  

Valeo established its first factory in Changshu in 2016, which has since become the company's key production base for wiper systems and new energy power systems in China. Valeo New Energy Lighting (Changshu) Co., Ltd., founded on February 4, 2024, expands the group's footprint with an 8,000-square-meter intelligent production facility, set to double in size to 16,000 square meters in 2026.  

The new facility will produce a wide range of products, including ambient lighting systems, human-machine interaction lighting, high-mounted brake lights, rear position lamps, emblem lights, and grille lighting, further enhancing Valeo's innovation and manufacturing presence in China.
