Speaking about Lunaz, the Silverstone-based electric car upcycling firm electrifies a wide range of classic cars including Rolls-Royce, Range Rover, Jaguar etc. The company is now planning to electrify the old trucks and other specialised commercial vehicles as well. This strategy is aimed at giving the old vehicles a new lease of life through the transition to the green powertrain technology.

Lunaz represents a significantly growing trend in the world of electric vehicles. Several companies and small startups around the world are adopting this strategy of ripping out the old fossil fuel engines out of a vehicle and installing electric motors and battery packs to transform the vehicles into zero-emission ones. This has become a significant angle of the global battery economy.

The UK-based company started its operations back in 2018. Currently, it can handle around 120 vehicles a year. The company is aiming to upgrade its upcycling capability to 4,000 vehicles a year by 2028.
