[Financial Channel/Comprehensive Report] China's Huawei and JAC Motors jointly created the luxury electric vehicle brand "Zunjie", which attracted attention from the outside world. However, ByteDance's automotive content platform "Knowing Car Emperor" recently used the SUV model "Zunjie V800" for testing At that time, there was an outrageous phenomenon that the brake pedal brackets of three Zunjie V800 vehicles were broken, which triggered discussions on the Chinese Internet. However, the latest news pointed out that the Zunjie V800 test video of the car expert has disappeared on multiple Chinese video platforms and cannot be viewed normally.
A video released on the 8th by Dongchedi stated that the brake pedal brackets of three Zunjie V800 vehicles broke during emergency braking tests, which caused concern.

In response to this, Zunjie Automobile responded on the same day that the vehicle braking system has been developed and verified in accordance with requirements that are higher than national and industry standards, and no related fracture failures have occurred during actual use by users. It also announced that it will optimize the component design and provide free upgrade options for users who have delivered it.
Regarding the nature of the test, Zunjie described it as a non-standard extreme test working condition. The emperor who understands cars said that the 100-kilometer braking test is a basic item for actual car testing and denied that there was a violent test.
But on the 9th, the Zunjie V800 test video of the car expert had disappeared from multiple Chinese video platforms and could not be viewed normally. Relevant videos in the app that understand Chedi are also unavailable to watch.
This has also raised questions about the safety of China's "crash cars". As China's new energy vehicle market faces severe competition, some Chinese new energy vehicle brands have "crash cars" in vehicle testing, significantly shortening the testing process and cycle. Therefore, they are called "crash cars" by Chinese netizens.
Insiders have revealed that in order to rush to the market, some new energy vehicle brands have changed the new architecture that originally took 2 years to be put on the car, and now it has to be put on the car in 10 months; the previous two winter tests and two summer tests for mechanical verification have been compressed into one winter test and one summer test. The vehicle control software that originally took 4 months to verify can now be put on the vehicle in 2 weeks.
Four official departments of China, including the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Public Security, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, and the State Administration for Market Regulation, issued the "Notice on Further Strengthening the Management of Innovative Design and R&D Testing and Verification of Automotive Products (Draft for Comments)" on the 10th, requiring car companies to provide more complete test records when applying for new cars. This move was considered by the outside world to put a brake on the "crash car."
The technical specifications published with the article stipulate that passenger cars should complete a reliability test of no less than 30,000 kilometers, and an environmental adaptability verification period of no less than one year, covering "alpine, high, and extreme cold."
On the 8th, two days before the release of the "Draft for Comments", Chedi released a test video of three Zunjie V800s experiencing breakage of the brake pedal bracket base during continuous emergency braking. Li Yanwei, a member of the expert committee of the China Automobile Dealers Association, said on the 11th that relevant departments are well prepared for the management of "quick cars". The new regulations can prevent significant compression of the research and development cycle.
