    WHAT IS VALEO AQUABLADE™?

     

    Learn What Makes Valeo AquaBlade™ Unique among Wiper Blades

    Valeo’s patented and award-winning AquaBlade™ windscreen wipers are recognised as a major innovation in automotive technology. Compared to conventional wiper blades, they considerably improve safety, comfort, and performance.

     

    The Need for Integrated Cleaning

    Windshield wipers have been around for a long time, so what need is there for innovation? Valeo developed AquaBlade™ in response to key trends driving a need for more effective windscreen wipers.

    These include changes in consumer preferences and body styles, which increase the windscreen surface and make traditional wiper blades less effective.

    In addition, new technology requires the entire windscreen surface to be clean to function properly. These evolving needs informed the design of AquaBlade™.

     

    Valeo AquaBlade™ Characteristics

    Valeo AquaBlade™ has special characteristics that improve its performance over traditional wiper blades and conventional wiper-integrated spray blades. So what is unique about the design of Valeo AquaBlade™ wiper blades?

    Valeo AquaBlade™ uses a flat blade with small, laser-cut holes that allow the washer fluid to be distributed along the entire length of the blade. It enlarges the wiping pattern and corrects the uneven washer fluid distribution problem. In comparison, other wipers rely on spray nozzles either located under the hood or installed on the wiper arm. 

     

    Valeo AquaBlade™ windscreen wipers have many benefits:

    • No more cleaning fluid jet obstructions
    • Better visibility and comfort for the driver
    • Larger cleaning area that reaches the upper windscreen where cameras and other systems are located
    • Better night visibility (reduces glare and blur)
    • Cleaning quality is preserved at all vehicle and wind speeds
    • Faster driver reaction time & shorter braking distance*
