Valeo and Appotronics sign partnership for next-generation front lighting system

Valeo, world leader in automotive lighting systems and software, together with Appotronics, inventor of ALPD® laser display technology have announced a strategic partnership to offer a new generation of automotive front lighting solutions integrating Appotronics’ ALL-in-ONE full-color laser headlight system.

Valeo will bring its expertise in lighting systems design and electronic control units design to integrate Appotronics knowledge in projection systems design based on laser display technologies into new generation front lighting solutions.

Maurizio Martinelli, CEO of Valeo Light Division, stated: “This partnership strengthens Valeo’s global leadership in next-generation lighting, combining safety, adaptability, and an enhanced driving experience. Leveraging our combined expertise in automotive lighting hardware and software, this new partnership reinforces existing technology alliances and reflects a shared ambition to redefine smart automotive lighting.”

Yu Xin, Vice President of Appotronics, said: “The Appotronics-Valeo partnership represents a transformative step in smart automotive lighting, combining our complementary strengths to advance next-generation illumination solutions. Together, we’re accelerating innovations that prioritize safety, intelligent adaptability, and personalized driving experiences for the global market.”

The ALL-in-ONE system integrates several advanced functions in one compact module: Adaptive Driving Beam (ADB), road surface projection, and in-car cinema capabilities. Its smart system automatically optimizes lighting for different driving scenarios—extending illumination range with high beams on highways and preventing glare with glare-free beams in urban areas.
