Chery introduces EMB brake-by-wire technology in Exeed EX7

Chery has officially confirmed the implementation of aircraft-grade brake-by-wire technology, known as EMB, into mass production. According to executive vice president Li Xueyun, the first model to feature this technology will be the premium Exeed EX7 crossover, scheduled for launch in the first quarter of 2026.

The EMB system completely eliminates traditional hydraulics and tubing, replacing them with electric actuators controlled by real-time signals. Development took approximately three years, focusing on ultra-fast response, precise brake force modulation, and reliability meeting aviation safety standards.

In the new EX7, EMB will work alongside the upgraded Flying Fish 3.0 chassis. This combination aims to deliver more stable handling across all road surfaces, shorter stopping distances, and more predictable responses in emergencies. Essentially, the braking system becomes part of the vehicle's integrated "nervous system."

Previously, it was reported that Exeed models ET6 and ET7 would be renamed EX6 and EX7. For the ET7, powertrain specifications were already disclosed: the range-extender version uses a roughly 40 kWh battery with an electric range of up to 203 km, while the full-electric variant features a nearly 98 kWh battery providing up to 726 km of range. This gives an indication of the technical level expected for the upcoming EX7.

Bringing EMB to mass production represents a significant technological leap for Chery and the Exeed brand. If the system proves its claimed reliability and advantages in real-world use, the EX7 could emerge not just as another premium SUV, but as a demonstration of how aerospace solutions are beginning to transform the automotive industry.
