Valeo expands its electrification segment with facility inauguration in Pune

By Staff Report September 6, 2024 5:55 pm

The facility infrastructure spreads over a 7,000 sq. mt. area and focuses on augmenting Valeo’s capabilities in Electrification in India.

Valeo, the partner for mobility technology, announced the expansion of its industrial footprint in India with the inauguration of a new state-of-the-art production facility in Pune for power electronics products. 

Yann Keraudren, Valeo Power Asia Regional Operations Vice President inaugurated the new office in the presence of Jayakumar G, Group President & Managing Director, Valeo India, and Nitin Chaudhary, Site General Manager, Valeo Pune Plant.

Jayakumar G, Group President & Managing Director, Valeo India, said, “The inauguration marks a significant milestone in Valeo’s journey in India. This new facility in Pune is a key element of our strategic plan for deeper localization and long-term competitiveness in electrification products. It will meet the growing demand from our customers for the On-Board Power Supply 3-in-1 combination unit, comprising an On Board Charger, DC-DC converter, and power distribution unit. As the EV market in India expands, we are prepared to deliver technology solutions adaptable to the Indian market and cost-competitive.”

Valeo Pune aims to enhance workforce diversity and sustainability. Over the past five years, the site has actively driven this initiative, and today, it employs over 40 individuals with disabilities.

In line with Valeo’s sustainability goals, the company has installed a 900 kW rooftop solar panel in the existing plant and is expanding its capacity with an additional 700 kW at this new facility.

Additionally, to reduce emissions, the site has replaced its employee transportation buses with new BS VI-compliant vehicles, introduced two electric vehicles for guest commutes, and implemented various other energy efficiency improvements within the plant to lower the carbon footprint.

On Board Power Supply 3-in-1

The new site will start producing the On Board Power Supply 3-in-1 combo unit, a combination of three standalone power electronics products:

●      On-Board Charger (OBC) is the system built into the car to recharge the high voltage battery from the AC grid with different power ranges: 7, 11 and 22kW;

●      DCDC converter is used to convert power from the high voltage (HV) network to the 12V Low Voltage (LV) network to charge the LV battery and power the electric devices;

●      Power Distribution Unit (PDU) delivers power to all critical electric loads within an electric vehicle including traction and auxiliary loads. The PDU includes relays, fuses and bus bars usually.

This compact and cost-effective solution offers a modular design approach. These 3 products help to save and share components between the battery, OBC and DCDC units in terms of cooling panel, HV cables, signal connector and housing.
