Zunjie, the premium electric-vehicle brand backed by Huawei and JAC, has released third-party test results showing its V800 flagship's brake pedal withstands loads far beyond the national standard. According to Gasgoo, the results were published on October 13 in response to recent online criticism about the pedal's strength.
The tests, carried out on October 11 by a state-accredited independent laboratory, found that the V800's brake pedal complies with QC/T 788-2018, China's standard for automotive pedal performance and bench-test methods. Under an intensified longitudinal load of 3,000N, the pedal showed no cracks or damage, the lab reported.
Standard and intensified tests
QC/T 788-2018 requires a brake pedal to withstand a 1,500N longitudinal force without permanent deformation exceeding 5mm, and without cracks or damage. In the standard test, four pedal samples recorded permanent deformation of 2.04mm, 4.07mm, 2.05mm and 2.28mm - all within the limit.
The lab also subjected 14 pedal assemblies to intensified loads ranging from 2,000N to 3,000N, with two samples taking the full 3,000N. After visual inspection, none showed cracks or damage.
Zunjie said the results address the recent controversy over the V800's brake pedal, which had drawn scrutiny from consumers and media. The brand has not disclosed further details about the nature of the original complaints.
Context
The V800 is Zunjie's first model, a large luxury BEV (battery-electric) sedan launched in 2025. The brand is part of Huawei's expanding automotive ecosystem, which also includes the Aito and Luxeed lines. The test results are a bid to reassure buyers about build quality as Zunjie competes in China's crowded premium EV market.
Gasgoo, an automotive industry news outlet, first reported the development. The test data has not been independently verified by Geisou.
