ZheJiang Vie Science & Technology (SZ:002590) Zhong Guo Qi Che Bao Wang·2025-06-12 02:07Core Viewpoint - The upcoming implementation of the new national standard for Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) will transition from a recommended to a mandatory requirement, significantly enhancing the safety features in both passenger and commercial vehicles in China [2][3][5]. Industry Impact - The upgrade of AEB from a recommended to a mandatory standard reflects the industry's progress and a response to consumer safety demands, marking a shift from passive compliance to proactive safety measures [3][4]. - The new standard is expected to drive the market size for AEB-related products from 38 billion yuan in 2024 to 120 billion yuan by 2026, with a compound annual growth rate of 9.36% [3]. - The inclusion of commercial vehicles under the new standard aims to address the high accident rates associated with these vehicles, as AEB's market penetration in commercial vehicles is currently below 5% [4][5]. Technological Advancements - The new standard introduces innovative testing scenarios, including collision warnings and emergency braking for vulnerable road users such as pedestrians and cyclists, which are tailored to China's unique traffic conditions [6][10]. - AEB is positioned as a foundational safety feature in advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), facilitating the development of higher-level autonomous driving technologies [7][10]. - The standard emphasizes the need for high reliability and low false trigger rates in AEB systems, pushing manufacturers to enhance their technology and testing methodologies [5][8]. Market Dynamics - The implementation of the new standard is expected to reshape the supply chain dynamics within the automotive industry, as companies will need to reassess their AEB system designs and sensor configurations to meet the new requirements [9][11]. - Companies are likely to adopt multi-sensor fusion strategies to ensure compliance and improve performance, balancing cost and functionality in their AEB systems [9][10]. - The new standard is anticipated to create opportunities for local suppliers to innovate and meet the specific needs of the Chinese market, enhancing their competitive edge [12].
