What you need to know about Lunaz

Lunaz takes used diesel and petrol vehicles across the globe, remanufactures and reengineers them with modern technology, and converts them to green battery-powered vehicles.

Lunaz was founded in 2018 to further the legacies of the most beautiful cars in the world by re-engineering them for an electric future.

This move responds to the global requirement to transition all cars to clean-air powertrains as the UK Government plans to ban new cars powered solely by petrol or diesel engines.
