Recently, the brake - testing incident involving the Zunjie V800 has ignited extensive discussions across the automotive industry concerning the structure, materials, and safety redundancy of brake pedals. On October 8, a testing video released by Dongchedi revealed that during a 100km/h - to - 0 emergency braking test, the brake pedal brackets of three Zunjie V800 vehicles broke. The pedal force at the moment of fracture was 1612N, a value that adheres to national standards. Zunjie responded by stating that the test was carried out under non - standard extreme conditions. They also made a commitment to offer free brake component upgrades for vehicles that have already been delivered. On October 9, the China Automotive Technology & Research Center (CATARC) promptly issued a questionnaire to automakers. The questionnaire focused on the materials used in brake pedal assemblies, with a particular emphasis on the application of non - metallic materials. This action is widely regarded as a preparatory step for potential regulatory revisions. Following this, executives from automakers like VOYAH, GAC Honda, and Yangwang displayed their own brake components. They disclosed material and strength parameters in an effort to enhance product safety and reassure consumers.
