Read on to learn more!

Valeo has always been at the forefront of wiper design. With a focus on aerodynamics, low noise and blending with each individual vehicle’s design, Valeo collaborates closely with vehicle manufacturers on future wiping technologies.
One of Valeo’s latest creations is the AquabladeTM, winner of a 2018 PACE Award for innovation.
What makes Valeo AquaBladeTMso special?
Traditional wiping systems spray washer fluid from jets beneath the windscreen. This system has a number of shortcomings such as uneven distribution of fluid, performance that is dependent on vehicle speed, and a significantly high level of wasted fluid. Most importantly though, traditional jet sprays obstruct driver visibility.
The Valeo AquaBladeTM wipes away all these flaws.
The fluid is not projected onto the windshield but distributed along the entire length of the wiper blade. The windscreen surface covered by the wiper is uniformly cleaned, regardless of vehicle speed or wind conditions. And, the right amount of fluid is always provided right where it is needed, reducing fluid consumption by half and significantly reducing weight. Most importantly, there is no obstruction of visibility during a clean.
Aquablade has proven to be so effective that a recent study found that they reduce braking distances by 4 metres, with cars travelling 50km/h,** meaning increased road safety for everyone.
As a wiper specialist, Valeo brings to the aftermarket its latest O.E. technology with Valeo Silencio™ AquaBlade™.
Trust Valeo for all your wiper needs!
