Valeo, a leader in mobility technologies, and MOBILIANS, France’s major automotive trade and repair association, have signed a strategic agreement aimed at driving the future of the automotive aftermarket. The collaboration seeks to equip industry players with the tools to meet rising demands for sustainability, electrification, and digital services.
The two organizations will jointly focus on two key shifts reshaping the aftermarket. First is the circular economy transition: they plan to roll out a repairability index, a quality label for remanufactured parts, and protocols to assess the environmental footprint of reused components. They’ll also promote electric retrofitting for traditional vehicles. Second is navigating the technological overhaul underway in repairs: Valeo and MOBILIANS will support deployment of EV charging infrastructure, ensure access to essential vehicle data, and help upskill technicians through programs like Valeo’s Tech Academy.
Xavier Horent, Executive Director of MOBILIANS, describes the move as a way to empower auto repair professionals to adapt to evolving mobility trends, while Valeo’s CEO Christophe Périllat sees the partnership as a way to unite the industry around concrete, tech-driven, environmentally responsible solutions.
