Munich, September 5, 2025 – Valeo, a global leader in Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), and Momenta, a leading autonomous driving company, have signed a strategic cooperation agreement. The two companies will establish a comprehensive and long-term partnership in China and international markets to jointly develop advanced mid-to-high-level combined driving assistance systems, as well as autonomous driving products, systems, and solutions.
Today, one in three newly launched vehicles worldwide is equipped with Valeo's ADAS technology. Valeo offers a wide range of hardware and software entry-level L2 ADAS, L2+ and L3 up to L4 autonomous driving, including the industry’s most comprehensive sensor portfolio (cameras, ultrasonic sensors, radars, and LiDAR), central/domain/zone controllers, and AI-enabled software architecture. To date, every L3 conditional automated vehicle on the market is equipped with Valeo’s SCALA™ LiDAR technology.
Momenta is a global leader in autonomous driving technology and the first in the industry to achieve mass-production deployment of its reinforcement learning–based model: the Momenta R6 Flywheel Big Model. It is among the world’s most advanced assisted driving algorithms and the first reinforcement learning model in China to achieve true mass-production deployment. Through continuous trial-and-error learning, the system rapidly evolves its capabilities, achieving safety and reliability that can surpass human drivers.
More than 160 vehicle programs from leading global automakers are already committed to Momenta, with over 40 production models delivered and on the road. With over 400,000 production vehicles on the road equipped with Momenta’s intelligent driving systems, the company is rapidly scaling mass-production assisted driving.
Through this collaboration, Valeo and Momenta will combine their strengths in computing platforms, sensor technology, and software to co-develop cutting-edge system-level solutions that redefine intelligent mobility. Together, they will provide customers with full lifecycle support, from jointly exploring the advanced driving market and developing new products to system integration and continuous software upgrades. The partners will also explore broader cooperation models to help automakers accelerate the transition from development to real-world deployment. In this context, Valeo has been awarded by four OEM customers in China. Valeo with Momenta are currently engaged in discussions with multiple OEMs to explore future collaborative opportunities.
Marc Vrecko, CEO of Valeo’s Comfort & Driving Assistance Systems Business Group, said: “China is the global frontrunner in ADAS and continues to grow rapidly. Momenta, as one of the leading autonomous driving innovators from China, brings deep expertise and proven strengths. We are delighted to establish a long-term partnership with Momenta. By combining our decades of R&D and product leadership in ADAS with Momenta’s advanced AI technology, we believe this cooperation will accelerate our shared vision of safer, smarter, more sustainable, and more accessible mobility.”
Xudong Cao, CEO of Momenta, said: “We are honored to partner with Valeo, a global technology leader. At Momenta, our mission is to harness breakthrough AI technologies to create better lives and accelerate the scaled deployment of autonomous driving. This partnership combines Valeo’s hardware and system expertise with Momenta’s software strengths, enhancing performance and user experience, and driving forward the global adoption of intelligent driving technologies.”
