Valeo’s award-winning AquaBlade™ windshield wipers are recognized as a major innovation in automotive technology. Compared to conventional wiper blades, they considerably improve safety, comfort, and performance. In this 17-minute free webinar, you will learn everything you need to know about AquaBlade™.

Windshield wipers are not a new technology, so what need is there for innovation? Valeo developed AquaBlade™ in response to key trends driving a need for more effective wipers. These include changes in consumer preferences and body styles, which increase the windshield surface and make traditional wipers less effective, and new technology which requires the entire windshield surface to be clean to function properly. These evolving needs formed the design of Valeo AquaBlade™.

Valeo AquaBlade™ has special characteristics that improve its performance over traditional wiper blades and conventional wiper-integrated spray blades. So what is unique about the design of Valeo AquaBlade™ wipers? Watch this webinar for a comparison between standard wiper blades and Valeo AquaBlade™, as well as between AquaBlade™ front and rear wipers and heated vs unheated versions.

You will learn about the different structural components that make the blade structure of Valeo AquaBlade™ unique, like the laser-cut design, which enlarges the wiping pattern and corrects the uneven washer fluid distribution problem. You’ll also discover how the heated version lowers the freezing effect and improves comfort for drivers in cold climates.

When driving at motorway speeds, a few seconds of reduced visibility is a serious safety hazard. In addition, higher-speed driving reduces the spread of the wiping pattern. Looking at specific figures, you’ll discover how AquaBlade™ reduces visual disturbance at high speeds and the other performance advantages that make it more convenient than other blades. You’ll also see the AquaBlade™significant safety improvements for night driving.
