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.

American tier 1 supplier BorgWarner has secured two significant ‘conquest’ program awards in Asia, strengthening its position in both the combustion and hybrid powertrain segments. The contracts involve a latest-generation wet dual clutch for a Chinese OEM and a specialised variable cam timing (VCT) system for a Japanese OEM.

The awards were disclosed alongside the company’s Q1 2026 financial results, which highlighted a total of 12 new business wins across its global portfolio.

BorgWarner will supply its latest-generation wet dual clutch. The system uses high-performance friction materials and an optimised groove design to reduce drag torque, improving overall transmission efficiency and fuel economy. It features a new integrated wave spring for enhanced robustness and cost-effectiveness. Start of production (SOP) is planned for the second half of 2026.

Secondly, the company won a contract for a Torsional Assist (TA) Variable Cam Timing (VCT) system. This centre-bolt architecture simplifies internal oil passages compared to traditional oil-pressure systems, enabling faster cam phasing and more reliable lock-pin engagement – critical for the high-efficiency requirements of modern hybrid engines. The production is slated to begin in 2028.

Isabelle McKenzie, Vice President of BorgWarner Inc. and President and General Manager, Drivetrain and Morse Systems, said, “These new conquest awards reflect BorgWarner’s continued commitment to advancing efficient and competitive propulsion solutions. They demonstrate the resilience and growth potential of our propulsion business in Asia.”

The ‘conquest’ nature of these wins – securing business previously held by competitors – underscores BorgWarner's aggressive expansion in the Asian market. These announcements follow a string of recent successes in the region, including three eMotor awards in China and South Korea announced in April 2026.

While the company reported a slight organic net sales decline of approximately 1.5 percent to 3.5 percent for the full year 2026 due to volatile market conditions, these long-term contracts in the hybrid and SUV segments are expected to be key drivers for profitable growth through the end of the decade.
