Watson Rally Named to KPMG China Leading Auto Tech 50

On September 17, 2025, the KPMG Auto Industry Summit and the 8th KPMG China Leading Auto Tech 50 were released in Hongqiao, Shanghai.

Watson Rally was recognized on the Leading Enterprise List for its innovation and growth potential in Electro-Mechanical Brake (EMB) technology.

The list is compiled through multiple rounds of evaluation and company visits by KPMG partners, investors, and industry experts. It highlights the most dynamic and promising innovators across four areas: complete vehicles and components, autonomous driving, smart cockpit and connectivity, and mobility and transport. Selection criteria include technology innovation, business model, market recognition, and organizational vitality.

Founded in 2022, Shanghai Watson Rally Automotive Technology is among China’s earliest high-tech companies focused on EMB R&D and mass production. The core team has over 20 years of experience in braking systems and has overseen the delivery of tens of millions of brake products worldwide. This background gives Watson Rally strong capabilities in product design, quality control, and manufacturing. The company is now accelerating project nominations and system adaptation with leading OEMs, aiming to enhance customer response and service while driving commercialization.

Against the backdrop of global supply chain restructuring and China’s transition from a “volume market” to a “technology hub,” EMB adoption is gaining policy support. OEMs and suppliers are stepping up investments as the industry enters a rapid growth phase. EMB replaces hydraulic transmission with direct motor drive. It offers faster response, higher precision, and lower energy use. It improves vehicle safety and stability and integrates seamlessly with autonomous driving. EMB is becoming a key enabling technology for smart and new energy vehicles.

Watson Rally will continue to advance EMB innovation and industrialization, with the goal of becoming a worldwide trustworthy chassis system supplier. Inclusion in the KPMG China Leading Auto Tech 50 Leading Enterprise List marks an important milestone and a strong boost for future growth.

The latest report, KPMG 2025 China Leading Auto Tech 50, will be released soon.
