Wiper Systems have a vital safety role to play on all types of vehicles, ensuring good visibility and reducing the danger of accidents. Wipers also represent a huge area of business potential for the independent aftermarket and one that all too often goes unexploited, as workshops fail to offer wiper replacement as part of a standard service.  

Valeo is a leading supplier of car and commercial vehicle wiper systems, to both original vehicle manufacturers and to the independent aftermarket. The company recently highlighted its special expertise in heavy-duty wiper systems at the Commercial Vehicle Show in Birmingham.

The Valeo Heavy Duty range includes wiper motors that are tested under the most severe conditions to guarantee long-lasting performance, regardless of the environment and climatic conditions they have to operate in. The aftermarket range is 100% identical to equivalent O.E. products, meaning matching performance and easy fitting to reduce all-important vehicle down time. The Valeo wiper motor offer consists of 31 part numbers for Truck and 21 part numbers for LCV, with all information detailed on TecDoc.

Along side the wiper motors range, Valeo also offers an updated range of SWF Wiper Blades which includes 18 part numbers covering 98% of the truck park and including specific sets with spray bars. Each SWF wiper blade is manufactured on the same production line and to the same specification as the OE product, providing proven product quality and ensuring there are no issues with fitting or performance. Each blade is designed to wipe quietly and effectively, while also minimising aerodynamic impact. In addition, a wear indicator is present on each blade to alert and encourage the end-user to replace the blade at the recommended 12-month interval.

The same OE quality and superior performance on both motors and blades is available for all types of cars in the Valeo aftermarket range.
