Valeo introduced a fully integrated compact electric powertrain system in India. This advanced powertrain technology from Valeo will aid electrification at an affordable cost for small mobility vehicles – two and three wheelers that are extensively used for first and last mile connectivity in the country.
Valeo is one of the pioneers in 48V EV and Hybrid Powertrain systems, which contribute to significantly reducing CO2 emissions at an affordable price. These 48V systems from Valeo are ideal for two- and three-wheeler electrification in India.

Valeo’s integrated compact electric powertrain systems based on 48V technology are an innovative product for a range of small vehicles. Earlier this year, Valeo introduced this technology in the European market. Valeo is now bringing it to India as an ideal solution to power the electrification needs of two – and three wheelers – that constitute the vast majority of motor vehicles in the country. Valeo’s Special Vehicle Application team in France along with the team in India is already working with key local players to introduce this technology in the market.

Commenting on the product, Jayakumar G, Group President – Valeo India, said, “We understand that the small mobility market needs are different from the passenger car market. Hence, this 48V integrated compact electric powertrain technology is the ideal solution to address the unique electrification needs of vehicles in the first and last mile connectivity in our country.”
