Eco-Friendly Starter-Alternator

Valeo Systèmes Électriques, a member of the Valeo group, used dSPACE tools according to the standardized V-cycle to develop a reversible, belt-driven starter-alternator. This innovative concept brings together the features of an alternator and a starter in one product to reduce fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions. During the development process, Valeo first descended the V-cycle using automatic code generation with TargetLink, then ascended the V-cycle using dSPACE tools combined with Valeo facilities and methodologies.
