Valeo Service UK has expanded its premium Silencio range to bring genuine OE‑standard hybrid wiper blades directly to the aftermarket, targeting one of the fastest‑growing segments in vehicle maintenance. As more modern vehicles adopt hybrid blade designs, demand for high‑quality replacements has surged, yet sourcing true OE‑equivalent options has remained a challenge for garages and motor factors.
Hybrid wiper technology blends the durability of traditional metal‑frame wipers with the sleek, aerodynamic performance of flat blades. A fully integrated aerodynamic shell delivers consistent pressure across the windscreen, ensuring smooth, streak‑free visibility even at higher speeds. The design also reduces wind noise, offering drivers a quieter and more comfortable experience behind the wheel.
According to Andy Swann, managing director at Valeo Service UK, the market shift is accelerating quickly. He emphasises that the Silencio range allows workshops to fit exact‑match replacements with confidence, eliminating the need for compromises such as conventional blades or generic flat‑blade retrofits.
Built for all‑weather reliability, Valeo’s hybrid blades resist clogging and lifting in challenging conditions including rain, ice, and snow. The newly expanded Silencio hybrid range is available now, offering broad coverage for vehicles equipped with OE hybrid systems.
