DAVID BECKHAM INVESTS IN LUNAZ DESIGN | ELECTRIC CLASSIC VEHICLES SPECIALISTS

EV Channels Review

This episode of the Everything EV podcast features an insightful discussion with David Lorenz, CEO of Lunaz Design, and Jon Hilton, Managing Director. The company specializes in converting classic vehicles into electric powerhouses, a niche that has recently attracted significant investment, including from David Beckham. Lunaz is expanding its operations beyond classic cars to include Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs) and other industrial vehicles, leveraging their proprietary powertrain technology. The core philosophy of Lunaz is to combat the 'build new' mentality by re-engineering existing vehicles, thereby reducing environmental impact and offering a sustainable alternative to scrapping billions of cars. While electrification is becoming more accessible, the primary challenge lies in the remanufacturing process at scale. The company has a strong track record, having launched the world's first electric Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Range Rover, and Jaguar XK120. The expansion into HGVs is seen as a natural progression, offering a more cost-effective and environmentally superior solution compared to purchasing entirely new electric fleets, with Lunaz's converted vehicles boasting a significantly lower CO2 footprint over their lifetime.
