Diesel Electric wins innovation award at Automechanika Jhb
Diesel Electric’s entry in the Innovation awards at Automechanika Jhb 2019 - the Valeo AquaBlade, received the 3rdplace innovation award out of 2000 entries. Diesel electric are once again proud to receive an award for their innovative products, said Fred Bengsch on accepting the award on behalf of Diesel Electric.
The Valeo AquaBlade™ is an unique system, developed only by Valeo and available through Diesel Electric. The design consists of having the washer fluid distributed all along the blade, replacing the standard hood nozzles. Valeo AquaBlade™ is an innovative wiper blade, with integrated holes all along the blade. Wiper movement & washer pump activation are electronically controlled. A logical fluid release, via integrated software. There is also the option of a heated blade version.
The Valeo AquaBlade™ innovation bringsmore safety, since there is no more vision disturbance when wiping the windshield. An independent study made by Fraunhofer IOSB Institute demonstrated that the breaking distance can be reduced by up to 4 meters (versus a standard cleaning system) when travelling at 50km/h (urban environment). 4 meters is equivalent to the length of a zebra crossing. It providesperfect cleaning of the windshield, at any speed., in addition to efficient front windshield camera cleaning. With the heated option there is efficient cleaning, even at cold temperatures, with no rubber hinge freezing & snow collecting on the rubberdue to the quick de-frost of blade structure, less noise & less vibration at cold temperature.
The AquaBlade™ is so precise that it halves the amount of fluid used and then allowing a smaller washer fluid tank. 82% of drivers polled by Fraunhofer IOSB Institute think that Valeo AquaBlade™ is the safest system. 70% of drivers beleive Valeo AquaBlade™ could prevent accidents. Valeo AquaBlade™ is already available on several car models and is about to become the new standard.
