Chinese authorities have launched a joint investigation into brake failures in Huawei-backed Maextro electric vehicles to address quality concerns.
China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) announced on Thursday that it has formed an investigation team, in conjunction with the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) and the State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR), to verify reports of a brake pedal failure during testing of the Huawei-backed luxury electric vehicle brand, Maextro. This follows a video posted on October 8 by Dongchedi, an automotive information platform owned by ByteDance, showing the brake pedal bracket of a Maextro V800 multi-purpose vehicle breaking during a 100 km/h emergency braking test, which garnered widespread attention. Analysts believe this move indicates Chinese authorities are determined to address quality and reliability issues amid a downturn in the domestic electric vehicle market. Maextro responded on Thursday, stating it would fully cooperate with the investigation.
