The new automotive frontier: SDV, AI, autonomous driving. Tomorrow's vehicle is no longer defined solely by its mechanical components, but by its embedded intelligence. The massive integration of artificial intelligence and the rise of SDVs (Software-Defined Vehicles) are redefining safety, efficiency, and the driving experience. In an intensely competitive global market, Valeo harnesses its cutting-edge technological expertise to stay ahead of changing mobility needs and reinforce its position as the key technology partner for automakers worldwide. Valeo embeds AI into the very heart of its operations - from R&D to manufacturing. This agile, large-scale industrial transformation enables the Group to shorten development cycles, optimize costs, and deliver next-generation technologies at the speed demanded by the market. Tomorrow's mobility: connected, safer, sustainable. At Paris Motor Show 2026, Valeo will present its innovations designed to turn technological breakthroughs into tangible benefits for drivers and passengers. From an integrated 800V electric vehicle platform and bidirectional charging to intelligent lighting and windshield cleaning technologies, from AI-powered driving automation and software-defined vehicle experiences to next-generation field-of-vision displays, Valeo will showcase how technology makes mobility safer, smarter, and more intuitive. For a more sustainable automotive ecosystem, Valeo will also present its solution for repairability, remanufacturing, and circular economy.

The missing piece of its future. September 15, 2026 RioPlex spend a lot of time talking about the future of its region. Have RioPlex stopped to consider that it may already be taking shape around RioPlex? 100 years ago, a man named Uriah Lott was a railroad promoter trying to connect South Texas at a scale many dismissed as unrealistic and unworthy of investment. Lott saw something different: connecting the region's distant communities would make each of them more valuable as part of a larger system. RioPlex now know that when the railroad reached Brownsville in 1904, it connected land, agriculture, commerce and emerging towns in ways no single project could have accomplished alone. Today, the pieces look different, and their scale is becoming difficult to ignore: At the Port of Brownsville, Rio Grande LNG represents a $36 billion capital investment, while Saronic has selected the port for a planned $3.2 billion next-generation shipyard. The Anzalduas International Bridge is undergoing an expansion of more than $80 million to support commercial cargo, while a $62 million project would expand the Donna International Bridge into another commercial crossing. Mission has broken ground on a $50 million aluminum recycling and manufacturing facility, and Valeo is investing $225 million in a high-tech automotive plant in McAllen expected to create up to 500 jobs. These are usually presented as separate local stories, one belonging to Brownsville, another to Mission, McAllen or Donna. Sometimes, RioPlex stare at the pieces for so long that RioPlex lose sight of the picture they are forming all along. Economies do not grow through isolated projects. They grow as systems. Ports support industry, bridges connect supply chains, manufacturing creates demand for transportation, and growing communities create markets for investment. Each new connection increases the value of what is already here. This is what is happening across its region: The RioPlex. Regional transformations appear obvious only after the picture is complete. The advantage belongs to those who can see it while it is still taking shape. Uriah Lott understood it 100 years ago: a region's future is built by connecting what others still see as separate.
