PARIS, March 3, 2010 - Valeo announces that it has become a core member of the GENIVI
Alliance, an association of automakers, suppliers and other industrial
companies committed to the development and broad adoption of an open source
In-Vehicle Infotainment (IVI) reference platform for the automotive industry.

IVI is a constantly evolving field that encompasses automotive
infotainment products and services such as music, news, multimedia,
navigation, telephone and the Internet. Connections can be made via sources
outside of the vehicle, including mobile phones and MP3 players using
Bluetooth, WIFI or other means.

Valeo, as a major supplier of driver interface solutions, aims
to provide correspondent hardware and software platforms enabling advanced
connectivity and driver interface technologies. Valeo has been anticipating
this architectural evolution for several years in the development of its
product offer which includes integrated control panel modules combining
climate control and various other functions, tactile surfaces and large touch
screens with haptics feedback.

The GENIVI Alliance is driving the development and adoption of
advanced IVI systems, which will increase the demand for new connectivity
solutions. By joining the Alliance, Valeo will help accelerate the pace at
which these new solutions can be made available to automakers.

Valeo is an independent industrial Group fully focused on the
design, production and sale of components, integrated systems and modules for
cars and trucks. Valeo ranks among the world's top automotive suppliers. The
Group has 120 plants, 21 Research centers, 40 Development centers, 10
