Pedal emulator for a vehicle

A pedal emulator Pedal emulator for a vehicle, the pedal emulator comprising:

• a base part for mounting the pedal emulator to a structure of the vehicle,
• a pedal lever pivotable around a rotary axis of the base part,
• a force generation unit for exerting a counterforce on the pedal lever via at least one coupling element for mechanically coupling the force generation unit with the pedal lever,
• where the counterforce acts counter to an actuating force exerted on the pedal lever and
• where the force generation unit and the coupling element are designed and arranged in such a way that a progression of the counterforce along a pedal travel of the pedal lever takes the form of a non-linear progression in a pedal travel-counterforce diagram,
• wherein the force generation unit and the coupling element for generating the non-linear progression of the counterforce along the pedal travel feature a plurality of solely mechanical mechanisms.
