Valeo, a leading automotive technology provider and NTT DATA, a global digital business and IT services leader, are deepening their long-standing collaboration to address the rapidly expanding two-wheeler and small mobility vehicle markets. Both companies are poised to meet the evolving needs of this dynamic sector. Valeo brings its expertise in solutions for all mobility and NTT DATA provides a connected services management platform and offboard connectivity through its global cellular connectivity subsidiary, Transatel.
The three companies’ joint efforts are aimed at redefining the future of two-wheeled mobility through complete, connected, safe and powered solutions. As a result, their combined offering includes advanced infotainment systems, seamlessly integrating hardware with Transatel’s global cellular connectivity to deliver an unrivaled range of connected services through the capability to integrate the ecosystem of service providers on the NTT DATA infrastructure.
The new cluster will be unveiled at the EICMA show held at Fiera Milano from November 7 to 10, 2024 where Valeo, NTT DATA and Transatel will be present together on stand G. 06 in Hall 22-24.
“As NTT DATA, we develop for our clients appropriate connected service platforms, designing a seamless mobile user experience, providing the user with direct access to the mobility services they may need (tolling, parking, fuel purchase etc.) in a simple, intuitive and quick way“, said Stefano Testa, Head of Smart Engineering in NTT DATA Italia.
“We are really excited to partner with NTT DATA and Valeo to facilitate the scalability of this breakthrough solution. With significant expertise in global connected car deployments for major automotive OEMs, we look forward to bringing Transatel’s worldwide 4G/5G networks coverage to the 2-wheeler market.” adds Philippe Vigneau, VP Business Development at Transatel (an NTT company).
Safety remains a top priority for the partners. Through the integration of Advanced Rider Assistance Systems (ARAS), the partnership aims to enhance rider and vehicle safety, particularly in the fast-growing two-wheeler segment. These systems will provide real-time monitoring and alerts to help reduce accidents and improve the overall riding experience.
“Safety is at the heart of everything we do. By combining Valeo’s automotive expertise with NTT DATA’s digital and connectivity capabilities, we are committed to making small mobility vehicles safer and smarter.” added Joachim Mathes, Brain Division Chief Technology Officer at Valeo.
With a global footprint and extensive automotive experience, NTT DATA, Transatel and Valeo are ideally positioned to meet the growing demand for affordable and innovative solutions in emerging markets. The partnership is set to make a significant impact, particularly in regions like India, where the need for cost-effective, connected mobility solutions is increasing rapidly.
Beyond this innovative cluster, Valeo, NTT DATA and Transatel will also be exhibiting their latest innovations including:
- Valeo CycleeTM PixelRide, a stylish Human-Machine Interface (HMI) solution offering a smart dock, a 2” touch display and a remote with a rotative throttle. The new HMI seamlessly transitions from city to mountain, thanks to multiple assembly positions and a removable display. Valeo smart dock Phone-as-a-Key system also automatically locks the eBike when the rider steps 2 meters away.
- Valeo eAccess Gen1 for 2-Wheeler, an air cooled 48V electric motor able to develop up to 9kW continuous and 14kW peak.
- Valeo software solutions for 2-wheelers offering passive and active safety with scalable features including:
- Front collision avoidance
- Blind Spot detection
- Lane detection
- Recording on warning or Video sharing
- Traffic sign recognition
- V2X
- NTT DATA LAT (LED Assistive Technology), a LED System in the cockpit that communicate different information to the rider. It uses a color-coded language that has been specifically designed by NTT DATA to decrease the cognitive load from the driver allowing him to focus on the environment and increase the safety of his riding behavior.
- NTT DATA CONNECTED SERVICES, platform that enables integrated services in the dashboard of the motorbike, making the user experience smarter.
- Transatel’s Global eSIM Connectivity, allowing Internet of Things and Vehicles OEMs to seamlessly connect their fleets to public and private cellular network across 200+ territories using a single multi-network management platform.
