Lumina Vehicles
All-electric, autonomy-ready bulldozers for American construction.
The product
Lumina builds heavy construction equipment that is fully electric and remote- or autonomously-operated. Its flagship Moonlander ML6 is a 32-ton, 750-hp dozer with 8–10 hours of runtime and 50-minute fast charge.
The thesis
American heavy equipment has been a Caterpillar / Komatsu duopoly with diesel-only powertrains. Lumina is the first credible challenger building electric autonomy from the ground up — a wedge into a $200B global market and a core piece of decarbonized domestic construction.
How it runs
Develops a staged family of high-output battery-electric heavy-equipment platforms and a portable jobsite charging system. Moonlander is the first dozer platform, followed on the published roadmap by the Bladerunner excavation and lifting platform and the Roadrunner loading, hauling, grading, and compacting platform.
How it earns
Plans to earn revenue by operating its electric and autonomous heavy equipment at customer worksites and selling earthmoving as a service rather than selling the machines outright; commercial pricing remains undisclosed.
Why it wins
A small number of modular vehicle platforms support multiple large-scale attachments, while the portable Powerpack is intended to provide fleet charging at remote jobsites without dependable grid access.
