Valeo Sets New 2015 Financial Targets as Part of its Strategic Plan

PARIS, March 9, 2011 - At an Investor Day event held today in Paris, Valeo is presenting its
new medium-term guidance.

As announced when its 2010 results were released last February
24, Valeo is ahead of the 2013 targets set in March 2010, which included:

    - Around EUR10 billion in sales;
    - An operating margin rate* of 6-7%;
    - A more than 30% return on capital employed**.

Valeo intends to pursue and step up the strategy presented in
March 2010 and is setting new targets for 2015.

Based on the record EUR12.5 billion in order intake last year,
Valeo is confident in its ability to outperform automobile production by an
average 3% a year over the 2011-2015 period, thanks to:

    - Innovation and new products, particularly to reduce CO2
      emissions;
    - Expansion in Asia and emerging markets.

Consequently, and barring any exogenous economic events
impacting its industry, Valeo now expects to achieve in 2015, through organic
growth, sales of around EUR14 billion, an operating margin rate* of more than
7% and a return on capital employed** exceeding 30%[1]. These results assume
growth in global automotive output of around 5% a year over the 2011-2015
period, of which around 4.4% per year in Europe and Africa, 4.7% in North
America, 5.3% in South America and 5.8% in Asia.[2]

Lastly, Valeo wants to play an active role in any potential
industry consolidation, while maintaining a disciplined financial strategy
aligned with its commitment to restoring its investment grade rating.

Officer, and Robert Charvier, Chief Financial Officer, as well as the 2010
