Valeo brings true OE hybrid wiper technology to the aftermarket

Valeo Service UK is helping the aftermarket capitalise on the fast-growing hybrid wiper segment by offering a direct, exact-match replacement that meets original equipment (OE) standards through its premium SILENCIO™ line.

Hybrid wiper blades combine the mechanical sturdiness of a traditional metal frame with the sleek aerodynamics of a flat blade. This unique construction features an integrated aerodynamic shell that applies constant pressure to the windscreen. The result is a streak-free wipe, even at high speeds, and significantly reduced wind noise for a quieter, more comfortable drive.

“We are seeing a rapid increase in vehicles equipped with hybrid blades,” said Andy Swann, Managing Director at Valeo Service UK. “It’s a fast-growing segment, and we want to ensure our partners are ready to meet that demand with the highest quality solution.

“SILENCIO™ blades give motor factors and garages the confidence to fit a blade that matches the vehicle’s original specifications exactly, ensuring superior performance and avoiding customer comebacks.”

While hybrid blades are increasingly found on today’s vehicles, finding true OE replacements in the aftermarket has historically been a challenge. Valeo is one of the very few OE suppliers to offer this specific technology to the aftermarket, eliminating the to compromise by fitting conventional blades or generic flat blade retrofits.

Engineered for all-weather reliability, the design prevents the clogging and lifting often associated with extreme weather, handling heavy rain, ice, and snow with ease.

The Valeo SILENCIO™ hybrid wiper blade ranges are available now, offering wide coverage of hybrid OE applications.
