For workshops and motor factors, the Valeo range represents an OE-quality, profitable sales opportunity with strong brand recognition and proven reliability.
A leading supplier of wipers to both the Independent aftermarket and the O.E. Spares market, Valeo produces a comprehensive range of front and rear wiper blades. Collaborating closely with vehicle manufacturers on cutting-edge wiping technologies, the brand offers a choice of brands for both passenger car and LCV wipers.
A popular wiping innovation from Valeo is HydroConnect – a 100 per cent flat blade dedicated to the aftermarket. Manufactured to O.E. quality standards, Valeo has leveraged its strong O.E. expertise to deliver a top quality wiper blade.
HydroConnect features two categories:
“Multi-connection”: covering front and rear O.E. flat blades
“Upgrade”: covering hook arms
The benefits of HydroConnect include:
- Innovative, with its new rear multi-connection system.
- Smart, offering easy fitting with its Plug & Drive multi-connection.
- Technological, featuring an excellent wiping performance for perfect visibility.
- Evolutive, ready to cover the upcoming applications with no additional part numbers.
- Efficient, using the O.E. long lasting rubber and asymmetrical spoiler technology.
Serfac also stocks the Silencio “exact fit” blade and the Valeo AquaBlade – the latest innovation in windscreen wiping technology.
Valeo AquaBlade has special characteristics that improve its performance over traditional wiper blades and conventional wiper-integrated spray blades. The technology uses a flat blade with small, laser-cut holes that allow the washer fluid to be distributed along the entire length of the blade. It enlarges the wiping pattern and corrects the uneven washer fluid distribution. In comparison, other wipers relay on spray nozzles either located under the bonnet or installed on the wiper arm.
Benefits of Valeo AquaBlade:
- No more cleaning fluid jet obstructions
- Better driver comfort and visibility
- Larger cleaning area that reaches the upper windscreen where cameras and other systems are located
- Better night viability (reduces glare and blur)
- Cleaning quality is preserved at all vehicle and wind speeds
- Faster driver reaction time and shorter braking distance
Tested for wiping quality, durability, corrosion resistance and the ability to withstand extreme weather conditions, Valeo can supply a high performing wiper solution for just about any application.
