The implementation of new standards for new energy accessories has made lightweight pedals and energy-saving bumpers a must-have for car manufacturers

The new version of the "Technical Specification for Special Side Pedals for New Energy Vehicles" and "Test Method for Aerodynamic Performance of Electric Vehicles" will be officially implemented in 2026. The new regulations require that the bumper and side pedals of new energy vehicles must be lightweight and optimized for wind resistance. Lightweight alloy pedals reduce weight by 35% compared to traditional stainless steel, and after installation, reduce battery side impact damage by 40%; The integrated bumper with radar sensing has become a standard configuration for new energy manufacturers. New SUVs from independent brands such as BYD, Geely, and Great Wall come standard with luggage racks, side steps, and customized grille in their factory optional packages. The purchasing volume of the main engine factory has increased by 18% year-on-year, forcing accessory factories to upgrade their composite materials and low-carbon injection molding production lines. The policy of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology requires that the utilization rate of lightweight materials for the exterior of new energy vehicles should exceed 35% by the end of 2026, which is beneficial for manufacturing enterprises focusing on the production of lightweight bumpers and pedals.
