As China's new energy vehicles enter a period of rapid growth, technological innovation and application in brake systems have surged, many of which are at the forefront of global industry development. This has generated numerous unique, personalized demands and contributed to the industry's vibrant development. Watson Rally, founded in 2022, focuses on the development of dry-line electro-mechanical brake technology (EMB). Led by a team with over 20 years of experience in brake systems, the company has international-standard independent R&D, manufacturing, and supply chain management capabilities. It is rapidly growing with a strong momentum in the EMB industry.


Watson Rally has completed the design and prototype delivery of its full range of Electro-Mechanical Brake products in merely 18 months after the company startup. The company has initiated collaborations with several leading OEM clients in the automotive industry and continuously met the customers’ demands on prototype samples delivery and design updating. By March 2024, the company had successfully completed winter calibration testing for multiple Electro-Mechanical Brake models. Meanwhile, its Electronic Parking Brake production line in Pinghu, Zhejiang, was completed and entered mass production, with an annual capacity exceeding one million units.


Watson Rally has also shown impressive performance in the capital markets.
