On October 9, 2026, the China Automotive Technology and Research Center (CATARC) promptly issued a survey questionnaire concerning brake pedal assembly materials to leading automakers, with a particular emphasis on the utilization of non-metallic materials in pedal assemblies. This action is perceived by the industry as a preparatory step for potential regulatory amendments. At present, mandatory national standards stipulate that the pedal force must not exceed 500N when the vehicle attains peak braking efficiency. Recommended standards suggest metrics for pedal durability, yet they fail to define a specific threshold for preventing breakage under extreme pedal forces. When journalists sought confirmation on this matter from CATARC and several prominent automakers, as of the press release dated October 10, no official response had been forthcoming.
