Yesterday, the local car company's R&D center released a new type of car pedal, which uses aviation grade magnesium alloy material. Compared with traditional steel pedals, it reduces weight by 30% and increases impact strength by 25%.
The head of the R&D team introduced that the pedal is formed through a special forging process and coated with ceramic on the surface, which can resist high temperature and corrosion. After testing, the pedal performance is stable and does not deform in environments ranging from -30 ℃ to 80 ℃. At present, the technology has applied for a patent and is expected to be installed in a new family sedan next year. It can help reduce energy consumption and improve range, providing a new solution for lightweighting new energy vehicles.
