Valeo grows camshaft, crankshaft, engine sensor offering, focusing on hybrids

Focusing on hybrid vehicles. Valeo has nearly doubled the size of its camshaft and crankshaft ranges in the last 18 months. The company also boosted its exhaust gas temperature (EGT) sensor and mass airflow meter (MAF) sensor offering, as part of an overall strategy to increase support for independent garages working on hybrids. Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) figures for October 2024 showed that HEV and PHEV sales together made up 22.8 per cent of new cars sold in the UK during the month. Collectively this was higher than the 20.7 per cent battery electric vehicle (BEV) total for the month.
