Chinese company Chery launches electronic braking!

With its electric braking system, Chery transforms the Exeed EX7 into a pioneer of full “by wire” control, from the accelerator to the brake.
The next automotive revolution is already here: complete “by wire,” which replaces traditional mechanical controls with electronic systems, now touches braking. Chery Automobile announces that its future models will be the first production vehicles equipped with purely electronic braking (EMB – Electronic Mechanical Braking). After widespread “drive-by-wire” acceleration and increasingly favored electronic “steer-by-wire” steering, braking thus joins the list of critical controls fully operated by electrical signals.
The development of EMB required three years of R&D, according to Li Xueyong, executive vice president of Chery. Engineers had to ensure a latency of less than one millisecond, ultra-precise control of braking pressure, and total reliability even in extreme conditions. The system eliminates traditional hydraulic lines and activates the calipers directly via electromechanical actuators, reducing weight, increasing responsiveness, and shortening stopping distances.
The end of completely mechanical
Integrated into the Flying Fish 3.0 chassis, EMB provides “smart nerves,” enhancing dynamic stability, consistency of electronic controls, and active safety in all driving situations.
This innovation marks a turning point: full by wire vehicles become possible, paving the way for lighter, modular architectures compatible with autonomous driving. Chery claims the first mass production deployment, highlighting its lead in complete electrification.
