Valeo is emphasising the importance of reliable clutch technology as traffic congestion rises across the UK.
Traffic data shows increased stop-start driving in heavy traffic conditions, which can put a strain on vehicle clutches and lead to premature failure.
“Manufacturers are producing vehicles with higher torque and higher horsepower outputs,” said Andy. “This means it’s imperative that the engine and transmission have the capabilities to deal with the additional load.”
Valeo offers two key innovations to address these challenges:
- Self Adjusting Technology (SAT) Clutch: This technology uses a self-adjusting mechanism to compensate for wear and tear, extending clutch life and improving pedal feel.
- High Efficiency Clutch (HEC) Kit: This new kit replaces competitor offerings and provides superior quality, reliability, and durability. Valeo’s HEC facings are recognised for their exceptional performance and longevity.
Valeo’s commitment to clutch technology extends beyond their own products. Due to the high quality of their friction materials, Valeo supplies facings to approximately 30% of competitor clutches, further demonstrating their industry position.
