TPS customers get clear opportunity with new Valeo Wiper Blade range

TPS has introduced the Valeo Silencio Wiper Blade range to its customer offer.  

The new Valeo Silencio Wiper Blades are the latest and most up to date product range from the world’s number one car wiper systems Original Equipment (OE) manufacturer.

Working for over seven years with TPS as a supplier and with Valeo Wiper Blades used across Volkswagen Group production, the partnership between the two companies is a perfect fit – just as the Silencio Wiper Blades are on a range of vehicle models.

The Valeo Silencio range is designed for customers wanting the exact same blade as the original wiper blade, whether it is a conventional, hybrid, or flat wiper blade.

The Silencio Wiper Blade range covers different blade designs, including: 100% metal wiper arm construction and high-quality rubber blades. There are also customised solutions - additional spoiler, curved shape or spray nozzle – and the range covers all OE specifications available on the market.

For those looking for a mix of flat and conventional blade technology, the Silencio Hybrid offers OE design and a unique external spoiler that increases pressure on the windscreen. It also consists of a 10-length range compatible with 9 million cars in Europe and again covers all OE market specifications.  

The latest and most innovative wiper blade in the Silencio™ range is the AquaBlade. It’s equipped with a best-in-class cleaning performance, where the washer fluid is distributed along the wiper blade’s entire length and the wiping surface is perfectly cleaned.

The AquaBlade is one of the safest wiper blades available, a view endorsed by research conducted recently from the renowned Fraunhoffer Institute, Europe’s largest application-oriented research organisation.

In a survey conducted with motorists, 82% of drivers said they consider AquaBlade as the safest wiping system, while 70% think it could help prevent accidents. This driver reassurance comes from several AquaBlade safety features, including no visual disturbance for the driver when cleaning the windshield and saving 4m of braking distance when travelling at 50km an hour.

Adam Hockley, Volkswagen Group Parts Product Manager, said: “The Silencio Range, is a premium wiper blades option. Working with the dedicated Valeo product team, we have selected 50 of the top selling blades to make available to our TPS customer.

“As an instantly recognisable and renowned industry brand, Valeo wiper blades offer ease of fitment, ultra-efficient wiping for perfect visibility and up to 97% UK car parc coverage. They are a high-quality product that provide enduring performance and rather than some wiper blades on the market which wear quickly and fall apart, these are built to last.

“For the first time, we will be selling sets rather than individual blades and we have boosted our stock capacity to ensure they are readily available to garages and their customers.

“In the future we will also be looking to expand the range by releasing further wiper blade options, based on customer feedback and demand for new products.”

The Valeo Silencio Wiper Blade range is now available to order through all TPS centres, nationwide.
