Gu Jianmin, Valeo China CTO, said the new joint lab would help Valeo's China team strengthen its R&D capability and obtain chances to engage in more global innovation projects.

According to Mr. Gu, Valeo has deployed in China 13 R&D centers with around 4,000 R&D engineers. In 2021, the company expanded the Wuhan-based R&D and software center, which is one of Valeo's biggest R&D hubs worldwide.

The V&A-LAB China will leverage the advantages of both Valeo and HUST to conduct research on automotive air-conditioning NVH, voice quality, new materials, and new technologies for automotive vibration and noise reduction, and talent development for those areas. Moreover, it will also support Valeo in technology R&D, so as to help the group maintain its leadership in the NVH domain.
