Troy’s Valeo Debuts Electric Vehicle Advances at Chinese Auto Show
Valeo, a French automotive supplier with its North American headquarters in Troy, exhibited its newest electric vehicle technology at the Shanghai International Auto Show in China.
On the Valeo stand in Shanghai were the company’s new reversible charger and its low-voltage all-electric urban vehicle prototype.
The reversible charger enables vehicles to become links in the power grid. Developed in collaboration with the China’s Xcharge, this system makes it possible to send excess electricity back to the grid. The company says the innovation marks a major step forward for technologies designed to store electricity, especially power generated by low-emission systems such as solar panels and wind turbines.
