Tier 1 supplier Valeo has announced the production milestone of rolling out 20 millionth front camera system containing Mobileye technology. This comes only 12 months after reaching the 10th million front camera production milestone in November 2022. The company says up to 40,000 front cameras a day are manufactured in 3 production sites in Europe and China serving 12 OEMs.
Valeo’s front camera system using the Mobileye EyeQ contributes to the safety of road users by supporting key features such as autonomous emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and traffic sign recognition. A front camera system is the key enabler in reaching safety requirements defined by authorities around the world, and it expects that by 2030 about 90 percent of all new cars will be equipped with advanced driver assistance technology.
Marc Vrecko, President, Valeo’s Comfort and Driving Assistance Systems Business Group said: “Front cameras are one of the key technologies for enhanced safety and will soon be set up on all vehicles. We are very proud to have reached this new milestone in the ramp up of our production and in our partnership with Mobileye.”
Nimrod Nehushtan, Senior VP of Strategy and Business Development at Mobileye added, “Since our founding we have focused on improving vehicle safety for drivers globally. Our ongoing success with Valeo demonstrates how far we’ve come together and the opportunities that lie ahead to bring even more advanced technologies to millions of vehicles over the next few years. We look forward to working with Valeo with the next-generation Mobileye EyeQ6 system-on-chip going into full production next year.”
