Valeo and AWS accelerate SDV development in a strategic collaboration to streamline the development process for engineers and deliver powerful digital solutions for the automotive industry.
Valeo and AWS accelerate Software-Defined Vehicle development with a strategic collaboration to deliver powerful cloud-based solutions. Together they will support quick and efficient development, testing, and validation of distributed vehicle software stacks across vehicle domains like Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), infotainment systems, and Autonomous Mobility (AM).
As a leader in automotive software and electronics design for over 30 years, Valeo is on a mission to support the industry’s transition to SDVs. Valeo’s experience and expertise in automotive software development, middleware, software-oriented architecture, and HPC for centralized computing architectures will be instrumental in the success of this collaboration.
Valeo announced they have joined Amazon’s global partner network (APN). The APN has over 140,000 partners from more than 200 countries around the world. Through APN, partners can leverage AWS technologies, programs, expertise, and tools to build new solutions and services. AWS and their partners work together to provide innovative solutions, solve technical challenges and deliver greater customer value.
Unveiling Innovative Solutions at CES 2025
At CES 2025, Valeo unveiled the first three innovative solutions set to be delivered through this collaboration. Powered by AWS, these solutions address critical aspects of the automotive engineering chain while simplifying and streamlining the SDV development process.
Solution 1: Valeo Virtualized Hardware Lab
Valeo introduced its latest virtual electronic control units (vECUs) and sensor models (VESM). Valeo Virtualized Hardware Lab provides a scalable, cloud-based environment for testing autonomous mobility, in-vehicle infotainment, and powertrain functions without the need for physical hardware. Expected availability: Q1 on AWS Marketplace.
This solution promises to:
- Reduce user development costs in SDV development
- Accelerate the release of new software features
- Scale testing efforts efficiently based on individual project requirements
Solution 2: Valeo Cloud Hardware Lab
Valeo Cloud Hardware Lab is the first hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) as-a-service-solution unveiled by Valeo. This end-to-end cloud based platform is designed to support the development and validation of Autonomous Mobility workflows. This innovative tool furthers Valeo and AWS’s mission to accelerate SDV development.
Key benefits include:
- Remote access to large-scale HIL hardware via an AWS-hosted workspace
- Streamlined collaboration between global teams
- Up to 70% more efficient resource allocation
- Up to 30% boost in engineering productivity
Solution 3: Assist XR
Valeo’s Assist XR leverages AWS data and AI services to enhance driving experiences by streamlining emergency support (eCall), roadside assistance (bCall) and vehicle service maintenance (sCall). Real-time vehicle and environmental data analysis power these capabilities, aiming to deliver quicker and more efficient assistance services than ever before.
What’s next for Valeo?
Valeo’s mission to drive innovation in software-defined mobility is set to accelerate with their AWS collaboration. Together, they will set new standards for automotive development and streamline the process for developers, engineers and businesses across the globe. These first solutions promise significant benefits for the automotive industry going forward.
“Valeo is focused on empowering its customers as they navigate the industry’s transformation toward software-driven mobility,” said Marc Vrecko, CEO of Valeo Brain division. “By working with AWS, we are creating new services that will dramatically improve efficiency and reduce the cost of software development cycles for our customers, making it easier for them to lead in this area and set new standards for automotive innovation.“
“The use of cloud and AI technologies is helping to accelerate innovation and invention occurring throughout the automotive industry,” said Ozgur Tohumcu, General Manager of Automotive and Manufacturing at AWS. “Through this collaboration, AWS will support Valeo as they continue developing even faster and more efficient SDV solutions for their customers.“
