Valeo to Equip a Major Indian Manufacturer with its Adas VSS360 System
Valeo has been selected by one of the leading Indian automotive manufacturers to deploy its Valeo Smart Safety 360 (VSS360) system, an advanced driving assistance solution for commercial vehicles. The system will be produced locally in Sanand, Gujarat.
An ADAS System Designed for the Indian Market
The VSS360 is an integrated driving assistance solution in a '1-box' architecture, combining three radars and a smart front camera. Specifically developed to meet the mobility challenges in India, the system includes essential features such as automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, driver drowsiness and inattention alert, and start-up assistance protecting pedestrians and cyclists.
The system also integrates advanced functions such as blind spot alert, forward collision alert, and a vigilance monitoring software that actively analyzes the driver's attention. It supports remote software updates (Over-the-Air) and operates on both 12V and 24V architectures, allowing its deployment across the entire range of commercial vehicles, from light commercial vehicles to heavy trucks.
Local Production and Cost Optimization
The manufacturing of the VSS360 will be carried out by Valeo in Sanand, Gujarat, marking a step in the localization of ADAS technology production in India. The system's architecture reduces electronic complexity by eliminating the need for multiple individual ECUs (Electronic Control Units), offering cost production optimization for manufacturers.
Marc Vrecko, General Manager of Valeo Brain, stated that this contract 'demonstrates that our ADAS technology is capable of delivering top performance in the most demanding environments, while concretely improving road safety.' Jayakumar G, President of the Group and General Manager of Valeo India, added that this contract 'marks a decisive step in extending our ADAS offering to the commercial vehicle segment in India'.
Alignment with the Elevate 2028 Strategy
India is a cornerstone of Valeo's Elevate 2028 strategy. The group is committed to deploying high-tech, scalable, and competitive safety solutions, tailored to the specifics of Indian roads. The evolution of local regulations plays a driving role, accelerating the adoption of these systems for safer mobility.
