Remsons Automotive Ltd (UK), the United Kingdom subsidiary of Remsons Industries Limited, has been nominated by a global commercial vehicle OEM for a 10-year pedal box programme, with start of production scheduled for Q4 of 2028. The nomination carries an estimated lifetime value of approximately ₹160 crore over the programme term, making it another large nomination in the Group.
The nomination is a significant milestone for the entire Remsons Group, materially expanding the company's commercial vehicle order book and deepening its position as a Tier-1 system supplier to global truck and bus manufacturers. The pedal box programme moves Remsons further up the value chain from individual components to integrated, safety-critical sub-assemblies, and reinforces the strategic role of the UK subsidiary as the Group's gateway to European OEM business.

A critical structural, safety-critical assembly that integrates the brake and (where applicable) clutch pedals into a single mounted unit fitted to the vehicle's bulkhead, the pedal-box assebly contract at Remsons follows an extended technical evaluation and competitive sourcing process. The automotive supplier was assessed on engineering capability, manufacturing readiness, quality systems, programme management and total landed cost over the ten-year programme life.

“This nomination is a landmark moment for the Remsons Group. Securing a ten-year pedal box programme of this scale with a global commercial vehicle OEM validates the engineering depth, manufacturing capability and quality systems that we have built across our Indian and UK operations. It is a defining win for the entire Group and provides clear, multi-year revenue visibility into the next decade,” said Davinder Bains, MD, Remsons Automotive Ltd.

With SOP scheduled for Q4 2028, programme tooling, validation and capacity planning will be progressed across the Group's UK and India operations over the next several quarters. The programme is expected to ramp to full series volumes thereafter and contribute to revenue across the contracted ten-year horizon.
