Automaker confirms receipt of CAERI questionnaire on brake pedal assembly materials; industry insiders say it may drive revision of industry standards.

Changan Automobile received a survey questionnaire from CATARC on the 9th regarding the materials used in brake pedal assemblies, with a focus on the application of non-metallic materials in pedal assemblies, according to sources from Changan Automobile. Public information shows that CATARC is a central state-owned enterprise directly under the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council, and is entrusted by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology to carry out work such as research on automotive standards and regulations, advancement of intelligent manufacturing, and promotion of new energy vehicle technologies. Industry insiders believe that this survey may have been prompted by the "Zunjie V800 brake pedal bracket fracture" incident, and could drive the revision of relevant standards, with the questionnaire serving as preparatory work. "It will most likely drive the revision of industry standards, such as the 'Performance Requirements and Bench Test Methods for Automobile Pedal Devices.'"
