Valeo Freewheel Pulleys: Keep Things Smooth

<h2>30 Part Numbers Covering Close to 31 Million vehicles</h2>
Valeo offers a comprehensive range of freewheel pulleys to complement its alternator portfolio, providing a complete service package for customers.
Designed to meet the demands of modern automotive systems, Valeo’s wide range of high-quality freewheel pulleys are compatible across numerous applications. Manufactured with premium materials, Valeo's pulleys undergo rigorous tests to ensure the highest quality and long-lasting performance.
Valeo’s offer covers all current technologies—from Overrunning Alternator Pulleys (OAP) to Overrunning Alternator Decouplers (OAD)—including the latest innovations on the market. 
With more than 30 part numbers covering approximately 31Million vehicles, Valeo's freewheel pulleys are designed to fit a wide range of models, making integration and replacement easy.
<h2>What Freewheel Pulleys Do</h2>
Freewheel pulleys are essential components of the alternator and play a critical role in ensuring the longevity and efficiency of a vehicle’s belt drive, including the belt and the tensioner.
 
The primary function of the freewheel pulley is to decouple the alternator from the crankshaft, thereby reducing stress on the belt drive system and enabling smoother engine operation.
By allowing the alternator rotor to spin freely when the engine slows down or stops, the freewheel pulley improves efficiency of the belt system and avoids belt flutter.
 
Its three primary benefits can be described as:
Reduced vibrations and noise
Increased lifespan of the alternator, belt, and tensioner
Enhanced overall engine operation
 
<h2>Two Types of Freewheel Pulleys</h2>
Valeo’s Overrunning Alternator Pulley (OAP) and Overrunning Alternator Decoupler (OAD) are both examples of essential components of the complete alternator system.
 
These two freewheel pulleys, however, differ in their specifications and characteristics:
OAP (Overrunning Alternator Pulley): Spins freely in one direction and immediately locks in the opposite direction.
OAD (Overrunning Alternator Decoupler): Rotates freely in one direction and offers a “spring-like” resistance in the other direction.
 
Both consist of a pulley with an outer diameter suitable for a poly-V belt (drive), a one-way clutch unit with bearing supports, an inner ring, two seals, and a plastic end cover.
 
<h2>Smoother Driving Experience</h2>
For a smooth and efficient driving experience, explore Valeo’s complete range of freewheel pulleys, engineered for optimal fit and long-lasting durability.

New Valeo Products and Award at Rematec 2025

<h1>Winner of Public Choice Award</h1>
From April 8 to 10, 2025, Valeo took part in Rematec, the world's largest automotive remanufacturing exhibition, held at RAI Amsterdam, Netherlands.
In addition to launching new parts, Valeo won the Public Choice Award for Best Reman, after emerging as the clear winner with a total of 2,057 votes.
The public’s choice award was fully supported by the 2025 Rematec jury, who recognized Valeo as both “a major automotive parts manufacturer and a key player in the aftermarket.” 
 
<h2>Partnering with Industry Leaders on New Products</h2>
Valeo is now extending its offer to include the remanufacturing of high voltage and electronic parts. 
During the week, Valeo presented what is one of the largest ranges of remanufactured products on the market. This included launching three new high-tech reman parts:
In collaboration with Stellantis, Valeo is launching in the first semester of 2025 a remanufactured LED headlamp—the first of its kind from Valeo—along with a display screen developed at Valeo’s Circular Electronics Lab in Nevers, France.
Partnering with The Remakers, Valeo will launch in the second half of 2025 a brand new remanufactured inverter for the Renault Zoe.
Remanufacturing innovations such as these align with a new era of increased electronics in modern vehicles. 
In 2024, Valeo also launched on the independent aftermarket a reman pneumatic concentric actuator for commercial vehicles, and in 2025, Valeo will be launching the DQ250 Double Wet Clutch (DWC) covering millions of vehicles.
 
<h2>Valeo Reman, Good to Better Preserve Resources</h2>
Reman is one of Valeo's key circular initiatives for the aftermarket, and is part of the 'I Care for the Planet' program—Valeo’s commitment to progressively reducing the environmental impact of the automotive aftermarket.
By reusing materials, Valeo’s remanufacturing limits new resource extraction and industrial waste. 
At Valeo, remanufactured products include up to 80% of reused materials. With 55 million tonnes of electronic waste generated every year, discarding electronic and electrical parts because of a single faulty component is both wasteful and environmentally unsustainable. 
In the words of Christophe Le Ligné, Valeo Group R&amp;D VP and Light CTO:
“At Valeo, we are deeply committed to remanufacturing. Our ambition is to double the number of remanufactured products to 2 million by 2030, and, at the same time, we are expanding our range to offer more electric and electronic products. This major milestone will be achieved through our ability at building strong partnerships within our ecosystem, to deliver remanufactured high-tech products.”
 
<h2>Valeo Reman, as Good as New</h2>
Every manufactured part undergoes the same processes as new ones:
<ul><li>Each collected part is cleaned and disassembled</li>
	<li>Components are individually controlled and then repaired or replaced if needed</li>
	<li>The product is reassembled and tested to stringent automotive standards</li>
</ul> 
<h2>Expanding and Promoting Circular Economy in the Aftermarket</h2>
Valeo’s 40+ years’ experience in remanufacturing electrical and mechanical products includes starters and alternators, compressors, brake calipers, DMF, heavy duty clutches and more recently front camera for passenger cars and even eMotors and Batteries for Ebikes.
Valeo offers online tutorials via its Valeo Tech Academy, including three new interactive modules for workshops. 
Its 2025 Reman Partner Program also ranks some European distributors Bronze to Gold, rewarding them with exclusive bonuses, services, and VIP access to events.

&lt;h1&gt;Winner of Public Choice Award&lt;/h1&gt;

&lt;p&gt;From April 8 to 10, 2025, Valeo took part in Rematec, the world&#039;s largest automotive remanufacturing exhibition, held at RAI Amsterdam, Netherlands.&lt;/p&gt;

Spring is here, and it's the perfect time to give your car a thorough check-up before hitting the road.

Whether you're planning a weekend getaway or just preparing for the warmer months, Valeo has you covered.
Follow this spring cleaning guide to ensure your car is safe, clean, and ready for any adventure.
<h2> </h2>
<h2>1. Check Your Wiper Blades for Clear Visibility</h2>
Over time, wiper blades can wear out, leading to reduced visibility during rain. If the rubber is cracked or worn, they won’t clear your windshield properly, increasing the risk of impaired vision.
Fortunately, wipers are quick and easy to change. Visit your local garage or do it yourself. Don’t forget to check your screenwash levels and refill them if needed.
Valeo Tip: For optimal performance, choose Valeo First wipers, designed for durability and perfect fit.
 
<h2>2. Test Your Lights for Safe Driving</h2>
Lights are essential for visibility and safety on the road. Before setting off, check all your lights, including:
<ul><li>Brake lights</li>
	<li>Headlights (low and high beams)</li>
	<li>Fog lights</li>
	<li>Reverse lights</li>
	<li>Indicators</li>
</ul>Ensure that all bulbs are working correctly, and replace any that are dim or faulty. Properly functioning lights make you more visible to other drivers and help you see clearly at night.
 
<h2>3. Inspect Your Brakes for Safety</h2>
Your brakes are one of the most crucial safety features of your car. Make sure they are in top condition by having a trusted mechanic check the brake pads and discs for wear. Additionally, check your brake fluid levels:
<ul><li>A low fluid level may indicate a leak or worn brake pads.</li>
	<li>The fluid should be a light golden brown color.</li>
	<li>Brake fluid should be changed every two years.</li>
	<li>Properly maintained brakes ensure you can stop safely and control your vehicle’s speed, giving you peace of mind on the road.</li>
</ul><h2> </h2>
<h2>4. Check Essential Fluids for Smooth Driving</h2>
To keep your car running smoothly, make sure the following fluids are at the right levels:
<ul><li>Engine Oil: Ensures proper lubrication and prevents engine wear.</li>
	<li>Coolant: Prevents your engine from overheating.</li>
	<li>Check these fluids 2-3 times a year or before any long journey to avoid breakdowns and ensure optimal performance.</li>
</ul><h2> </h2>
<h2>5. Inspect Your Tyres for Safety and Fuel Efficiency</h2>
Properly maintained tyres improve handling, reduce fuel consumption, and enhance safety. Before heading out on a road trip:
<ul><li>Check tyre pressure according to the manufacturer’s recommendations (usually found on the driver’s door frame).</li>
	<li>Inspect tyre tread for wear and replace tyres if they are worn out.</li>
	<li>Ensure your tyres are less than 5 years old, as rubber degrades over time.</li>
	<li>Tyre Pressure Tip: Remember that your car's load and road type can affect tyre pressure. Adjust accordingly for a safe and comfortable ride.</li>
</ul> 
<h2>6. Clean Your Car’s Interior for a Fresh Start</h2>
Spring cleaning isn’t just for your home! A clean car interior enhances comfort and hygiene. Disinfect frequently touched surfaces such as:
<ul><li>Steering wheel</li>
	<li>Gear stick</li>
	<li>Touch screens</li>
	<li>Buttons and switches</li>
</ul>A well-maintained car not only keeps you safe but also ensures a more enjoyable driving experience. Spring clean your car with Valeo’s trusted products and hit the road with confidence. 
 
Start your spring cleaning now!

&lt;p&gt;Whether you&#039;re planning a weekend getaway or just preparing for the warmer months, Valeo has you covered.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Follow this spring cleaning guide to ensure your car is safe, clean, and ready for any adventure.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt; &lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;1. Check Your Wiper Blades for Clear Visibility&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Over time, wiper blades can wear out, leading to reduced visibility during rain. If the rubber is cracked or worn, they won’t clear your windshield properly, increasing the risk of impaired vision.&lt;/p&gt;

Leading the Way in Electrification | Valeo Service

Leading the Way in Electrification

<h2>Showcasing Cutting-Edge Electrification and Innovation</h2>
Made up of three parts—a plenary conference in Budapest, onsite workshops and the visit of Valeo’s Veszprém Factory, a multi-products site that specializes in the production of high-voltage technologies and systems for well-known automotive car makers. 
 
The EV Tech Days showcased Valeo’s approach to High Voltage Powertrain Electrification and its associated Thermal Management,48V Hybrid Technology, and EV Training with Valeo's Tech Academy.
 
<h2>The Future is Getting Brighter</h2>
By 2030, 93% of all new cars will include a form of electrification and one-third of the European car parc will consist of electrified vehicles (either fully electric or hybrid).
 
This is good news. Electrification is emerging as the most viable, affordable, and energy-efficient solution to reducing the carbon footprint of the automotive industry, which currently stands at about 18% of global CO2 emissions.
 
<h2>Levels of Electrification</h2>
When discussing “electrification,” many immediately think of fully electric vehicles, but it encompasses much, much more.
 
The current and future car parcs include multiple levels of electrification: low-voltage systems like 48V mild hybrids (combining small electric motors with internal combustion engines for improved fuel efficiency), high-voltage systems like 400V and 800V for both full and plug-in hybrids, and fully electric vehicles.
 
Valeo’s strength lies in its ability to support all of these levels of electrification.
 
<h2>A Pioneer in Electrification</h2>
As a pioneer in electrification for over 20 years, Valeo has continually introduced innovative solutions for electrified vehicles. A brief history shows that:
 
In 2004, Valeo created the iStARS system, a belt starter/alternator that optimizes Stop-Start functionality.
In 2012, Valeo launched its 48V Belt Starter Generator (iBSG), providing mild-hybrid solutions.
In 2016, Valeo oversaw the creation of the Valeo Siemens eAutomotive JV.
And now, in 2024, Valeo is set to produce the next generation of “rare-earth-free” electric motors with Renault.
 
As of today, one-third of the world’s vehicles are equipped with Valeo electrics, from alternators right through to high-voltage systems.
 
<h2>Leveling Up Mechanics’ Skills</h2>
To meet the evolving needs of the industry, Valeo launched the Valeo Tech Academy, an innovative training program that offers both digital and in-person learning.
 
With one in two mechanics unable to maintain or repair electric vehicles, Valeo is committed to leveling up and supporting the aftermarket beyond just supplying spare parts.
 
Ultimately, Valeo’s goal is very simple—to help build the sustainable mobility of tomorrow. And over the course of the EV Tech Days, Valeo was able to demonstrate and share its simple vision for the future.

&lt;h2&gt;Showcasing Cutting-Edge Electrification and Innovation&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Made up of three parts—a plenary conference in Budapest, onsite workshops and the visit of Valeo’s Veszprém Factory, a multi-products site that specializes in the production of high-voltage technologies and systems for well-known automotive car makers. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The &lt;strong&gt;EV Tech Days&lt;/strong&gt; showcased Valeo’s approach to High Voltage Powertrain Electrification and its associated Thermal Management,48V Hybrid Technology, and EV Training with Valeo&#039;s Tech Academy.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

VALEO’S NEW E-PERFORMANCE BRAKE PADS RANGE

An Electrifying Marketplace
With 222 references and 92% coverage (Hybrid, EV, and PHEV), Valeo’s new brake pads range will account for over 15 million European vehicles.
 
As electric vehicles become increasingly popular, the number of vehicles on the road continues to grow. According to Frost &amp; Sullivan’s report “European PHEV/BEV Aftermarket Growth Opportunities”, by 2030, 84% of vehicles made in Europe will be electrified and heading towards either 48V or fully electric.
 
High Grade Materials
While combustion engines are noisy and a bumpy ride, drivers of electric vehicles are able to get the exact driving experience everyone longs for—silent and comfortable. They also get peace of mind. Valeo’s E-performance brake pads use soft friction materials – composed of carbons and ceramics – which absorb noise and vibrations made during braking.
 
Because of these soft materials, 20-25% less brake dust is produced each time the brake is applied, and the brake pads last longer, helping to avoid vibrations in the steering wheel.
 
Added to that, Valeo’s EV brake pads incorporate NRS®  technology between the friction material and the back plate. This reduces the risk of delamination and increases durability.
 
Better for the Environment, Better for You…
EV is better for the environment, and governments are starting to take notice. From diesel bans in European cities to thermal engine bans across entire countries, the automotive industry is changing.
 
As a leader in electrification, Valeo aims to deliver the best possible offer to customers with electrified vehicles, while supporting those drivers who are making the transition to electric. Brake pads are a significant part of that change.
 
“The strong order intake recorded proves that Valeo has the right positioning and technologies in a rapidly changing sector. This means that our customers trust us to support them in this transformation.” – Christophe Périllat, Valeo CEO
 
More to Come in 2024!
As extensive as Valeo’s new brake pads range is, there is no stopping there. An extension of 30 more references will be launched in Q3 of 2024, covering even more vehicles.
 
When it comes to EV, Valeo has what you need…!

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;An Electrifying Marketplace&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

INVENT, VALEO’S 2024 AFTERMARKET INNOVATIONS ROADSHOW | Valeo Service

INVENT, VALEO’S 2024 AFTERMARKET INNOVATIONS ROADSHOW

<h2>A New Year’s Resolution</h2>
In the EU, where heavy duty commercial vehicles account for almost 80% of land freight transport – equal to almost 25% of the transport sector’s CO2 emissions – it’s more important than ever to find ways to cut waste and emissions.
From 1st of January, 2024, Valeo is implementing its core deposit scheme for Reman CV Clutch Kits in Europe. This comes as part of Valeo’s wider goal of accelerating the circular economy and thereby consuming as few new raw materials as possible.
<blockquote>
As Christophe Perillat, Valeo’s CEO, has said, “Decarbonization mobility must go hand in hand with greater circularity and resources preservation.”
</blockquote>
Fully optimizing the consumption of resources is an automotive aim in which Valeo is not alone. The whole road freight industry, from manufacturers to haulers, is committed to a more sustainable transport system.
Remanufacturing is one of the central pillars of Valeo’s 4R strategy, along with Recycle, Repair, and Robust design. It is also an integral part of Valeo’s multifaceted approach to sustainability: I Care 4 the Planet.
The core deposit scheme falls into both sustainability approaches and has simplicity at its core. The aim is to recover as many CV clutch kit cores from the market as possible in order to fuel Valeo’s remanufacturing production lines.
In a nutshell, the core deposit is a simple circular exchange system:
<img alt="Valeo CV Clutch Cores Scheme in 2024" class="ck-responsive-img align-center" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="1691c2a1-5803-455a-854e-1403df8a74a4" loading="lazy" src="https://staging.assets.web4u.valeoservice.systems/d8/prod/s3fs-public/inline-images/body1-CV-Clutch-Cores-Scheme_2.png" width="317" height="289" /> 
Valeo’s CV core deposit system has been made to be simply understood, with only 3 core bands (T, U, V) and 2 different costs (100€ or 200€), as in the table below:
<img alt="Valeo CV Clutch Cores Scheme in 2024" class="ck-responsive-img" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="c653b5c7-aa51-49a7-b1f6-2a4865061774" loading="lazy" src="https://staging.assets.web4u.valeoservice.systems/d8/prod/s3fs-public/inline-images/body2-CV-Clutch-Cores-Scheme_2.png" width="965" height="462" />
<h2>Reverse Logistics System</h2>
Using a reverse logistics system that is quick and seamless, Valeo makes things easy for distributors, with a quick four week turnaround from collection pick-up to sorting report.
All that workshops need to do once the repair is completed is recover the cores, place them in the Valeo box, and then send them back to the distributor. The distributor stores them in a safe and dry place while Valeo ensures the reverse logistics from the collection of the cores to the deposit refund for all accepted cores.
<h2> 
Putting Down a Deposit on Our Future</h2>
To get the ball rolling along the distribution chain, Valeo is implementing an extensive support plan, augmented by a massive promotional programme during the first semester of 2024.
<h2> 
As Good As New</h2>
It truly can’t be overstated – reman CV clutches are AS GOOD AS NEW and have the same functional characteristics as new clutches. This is the reason they are offered with the very same 2-year warranty and unlimited mileage anywhere in Europe.
The very PROCESS of reman drives sustainability and the circular economy by decarbonising the CV Aftermarket while preserving resources. And come 2024, Valeo’s CV core deposit scheme will do just that!
Using a cleaner industrial process with less CO2 emissions, Valeo’s scheme perfectly fits with fleet sustainability initiatives. Moreover, compared with others available on the market, Valeo’s reman CV clutches are better priced than new clutches and benefit from a better life cycle cost too.
Add O.E. specs and original working conditions into the mix, and Valeo will be offering the market a product that is simply too good to pass up!
Come 2024, Valeo’s CV core deposit scheme plans to do just that!

From 1st of January, 2024, Valeo is implementing its core deposit scheme for Reman CV Clutch Kits in Europe.

<h2>A BRIGHTER FUTURE</h2>
It is no secret that the automotive world is undergoing a major electric revolution – and Valeo sits at the very heart of it.
To reduce its carbon footprint, the European parc is being electrified through multiple initiatives – and by 2030, more than 30% of vehicles on the road are set to be electrified.
Many opportunities will appear in the aftermarket. New spare parts will be equipped in Hybrid and Electric vehicles, and a challenge such as accessing parts is going to be a top priority for actors working in the IAM.
The two domains that will be most impacted by electrification are Powertrain and Thermal Management. Valeo has already made huge advancements in both areas.
<ol><li>With the aim of providing more sustainable mobility solutions for the drivers of tomorrow, Automotive Powertrains are being completely overhauled. Valeo’s recent acquisition of Siemens eAutomotive has strengthened its position as the world leader in electrification. Valeo boasts a full range of low and high voltage electric powertrain solutions.</li>
	<li>In brand new vehicles, Thermal Management Systems control the temperature of both the cabin and the battery. 
	Once again, Valeo is an OE leader thanks to innovative thermal solutions invented for ICE, Hybrid, and Electric vehicles. Correctly functioning thermal management systems of electric and hybrid vehicles are essential in ensuring High Voltage Components function safely. This happens by cooling or heating High Voltage components, but also by ensuring that High Voltage batteries maintain an optimal temperature range – and with it, have a longer lifetime.</li>
</ol>By offering the aftermarket these new technologies for electrified vehicles, Valeo is helping steer the ongoing electric revolution. This strategy began in 2020, with the launch of the iBSG (Integrated Belt-driven Starter Generator) for Mild Hybrid Technologies, which was the very first one on the market.
This was soon followed in 2022 by the introduction of the DWC DMFs – technology that was recognized as hugely innovative in helping reduce the noise, vibration, and harshness associated with the start-stop mechanism of hybrid vehicles.
The most recent aftermarket innovation in electrification involves the launch of electric compressors — which are one of the key products in thermal management systems. 
By the end of 2023, Valeo will be launching new High Voltage components, including powertrain products such as inverters, OBCs (On Board Chargers), and eDrives. Thermal Management components that ensure the correct functioning of the battery (with chillers and battery blowers) will also be launched.
In addition to new product launches, Valeo offers a technical support program that includes fitting instructions, live training sessions, webinars, interactive presentations, and videos from the Valeo Tech@ssist free Online Technical web platform. This is available in more than eight languages.
Valeo is committed to the active development of its portfolio for Hybrid and Electric vehicles, including traditional and new product technologies. Valeo has already developed 4,500 maintenance parts.
The ambition is to reach 6,000 parts by the end of 2023.
