Lunaz to expand UK electric vehicle upcycling plant
Lunaz - a UK firm specialising in the electric conversion of diesel-powered Industrial vehicles - announces a major expansion of its Silverstone upcycling facility
Lunaz Applied Technologies - which specialises in the remanufacture and electrification of industrial vehicles - has announced a major expansion of its Silverstone Upcycling Campus, a facility established to convert diesel-powered industrial vehicles to full electric power.
The expansion will see the facility grow by 140,000 square foot and enable Lunaz to create 1,100 UEVs annually satisfying a surging demand for upcycled electric vehicles (UEV) that will be key to helping fleet operators meet their net zero ambitions. The investment will also create 300 new jobs.
As well as helping fleet operators reach their net zero goals - LAT has invested in technology to reduce its own environmental footprint. The new upcycling campus will be highly thermally efficient and use heating powered by sustainably-generated electricity, all tools used by production experts will be battery-operated and vehicle ramps will be fitted with a kinetic energy recovery system to minimise power usage.
