Abstract: A pedal assembly 6 for a motor vehicle is disclosed in which, in a preferred embodiment, a pedal lever in the form of a brake pedal is constructed as two separate pieces, a primary lever 7 and a secondary lever 8 pivotally connected by a pivot rod 9 to a deformable part 4 of the body structure of the motor vehicle. The primary lever 7 is constructed as a ‘U’ section and envelops the secondary lever 8. Both of the levers 7, 8 are attached together by a pivot 13, positioned below a brake booster pushrod 12 and are clamped together by a latching means or catcher 10.
