Valeo Launches Rare-Earth-Free Electric Drone Motors in Haute-Loire
The automotive equipment supplier is extending its "beyond auto" strategy by transposing its electrification technologies toward a new industrial outlet. The project, presented at its Haute-Loire site, is backed by financial support from the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Region.
Valeo announced on September 24, 2026, during a visit to its Sainte-Florine site, the launch of production of electric drone motors qualified as sovereign, intended for civil or defense applications.
The group indicates it has developed this range from technological building blocks derived from the automotive sector, enabling operation without heavy rare earths. According to the company, this characteristic aims to secure the supply chain.

Manufacturing will be carried out at the Sainte-Florine site, which has the necessary expertise for drone component production (assembly, plastic injection, electronic board manufacturing). The establishment of the new production line benefits from financial support from the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Region.
The project was presented by Christophe Périllat, Chief Executive Officer of Valeo, and Laurent Wauquiez, Member of Parliament for Haute-Loire and special advisor to the Region. Following the announcement of a first contract in July 2026, production will begin in early 2027.
