Lunaz takes old Jaguar, Bentley, Aston Martins, and Range Rovers and converts them into EVs.
adapting it to fit these old chassis. Instead, Lunaz builds on their own experience in electrification with their own motors and batteries to create a completely new, modular powertrain for use on these old cars. Beyond that, Lunaz does more than just electrify these classic British cars and trucks. We spoke via email with James Warren, directorLunaz began its formation in Silverstone, Northamptonshire, England, in 2018 with the intent of restoring and electrifying old British metal.
That bespoke craftsmanship also goes beyond the skin of these vehicles and involves Jon Hilton as Lunaz managing director and technical lead. If Hilton's name sounds familiar to you, that's because he was a part of the Arrows and Renault Formula 1 teams, with the latter he was integral to winning the F1 World Championship in 2005 and 2006 with Fernando Alonso.

That's because much of what's used for converting these Astons and Jags to electric are also used to convert 28-ton garbage trucks ."Our modular powertrain is built in-house here at Lunaz," said Warren,"and is designed to be adaptable for multiple applications and power outputs.

The reason they can boast this is their use of Tier 1, OEM level battery cells from a"leading UK giga-factory." While Warren wouldn't tell us who that supplier is, he did say,"Our cells are sourced from the leading UK giga-factory. These are tested over hundreds of millions of miles across passenger car OEM applications." Take that for what you will as there are several manufacturers in the UK with giga-factories that fit that description..
