Valeo unveils new CV clutch catalogue
Components supplier Valeo Service UK has launched a new commercial vehicle clutch catalogue, featuring more than 100 new references.
The new references – made up of kits, components and remanufactured units – include 46 new part numbers for Euro 6 OE applications. More than 3,000 vehicle applications are covered by the range extension, says Valeo, bringing the total number of LCVs, trucks and coaches covered by Valeo’s clutch range to more than 13,000 across 70 vehicle makes.
Much of the focus of the new catalogue is on Valeo’s OE Euro 6 applications, which includes clutch applications for: Iveco Eurocargo, Stralis, and Trakker; MAN TGS, TGX; Mercedes-Benz Actros, Antos, Arocs and Atego; Renault Trucks C, D, K, T; Scania G, P, R; and, Volvo Trucks FE and FL.
There is also a section in the catalogue for Japanese applications, with 31 new part numbers now available for Isuzu, Fuso, Hino & Toyota and UD (formerly Nissan Diesel). Valeo’s Japanese commercial vehicle parc coverage currently stands at 50 per cent and is growing rapidly, the company says.
The design of the new Valeo commercial vehicle clutch catalogue has also been overhauled, which the firm says makes it even easier for users to highlight new and remanufactured part numbers.
A comprehensive cross referencing search from OE / IAM components to Valeo kit part numbers is available, alongside an ‘inverted catalogue’ that provides application and linked references data for each reference listed in the catalogue.
There are also more than 60 illustrations showing Valeo clutch technologies for commercial vehicles. The catalogue is available in 15 languages now including Romanian and Serbian.
Valeo highlights the quality of linings used to transmit high torques (up to 3500Nm), and dampers that filtrate engine vibrations, as key benefits of its clutch component portfolio – which is said to provide power and comfort, as well as enhanced durability, due to both on-the-road and bench testing (up to one million cycles).
