Autostrada

What Autostrada does

Autostrada, legally Autostrada Accessories Pty Ltd, is a privately held Australian automotive accessory manufacturer based in Brisbane (11 Gould Rd, Herston QLD 4006), operating since approximately 1993. The company designs and manufactures electronic automotive control products, with its core offering being model-specific E-Cruise Control kits engineered for vehicles using Drive By Wire and CANBUS systems. Its product range extends to Universal Electric Cable Throttle cruise control kits for cable-operated throttle vehicles, Engine Control modules (including speed limiters), the Telink digital switching/communications management system, diesel fuel filters, and a range of OEM and aftermarket cruise control switch options. All products are designed and manufactured to order at the Brisbane facility, using components sourced from local and international suppliers.

The company serves two customer segments: individual retail vehicle owners installing cruise control on cars, utes, 4WDs, commercial vehicles and trucks, and trade/automotive businesses including dealerships and small automotive-trade businesses purchasing kits for fitment. Its go-to-market is direct-to-consumer with no intermediaries: orders are placed via a website contact form or by phone, products are built to order, and shipping is via express freight, including to remote locations. Retail pricing is publicly disclosed (model-specific kits from $635.00 RRP; universal electric cable throttle kits from $840.00 RRP), while trade/wholesale pricing is available on request, with account terms offered to consistently high-volume trade customers.

The revenue model is one-time hardware sales of made-to-order products, with payment processed when the order is ready for dispatch. Autostrada emphasizes model-specific engineering for exact fit and reliability, in-house design and manufacturing by experienced engineers, over 30 years of industry experience, and warranty coverage up to 40,000 km or 2 years. No revenue figures, funding, subsidiaries, or parent company are disclosed; the company appears founder-owned and bootstrapped.
