⚡️ NEW - Lumina has unveiled their new, fully electric bulldozer, called the Moonlander.
• 8-10 hours of runtime
• Weight: 32 tons
• 0-80% charge in 50 mins
• Up to 300kW charging speed
• Manned teleoperational autonomously
• Regenerative braking
• 36" steel tracks
• 360 degree cameras
• 750 hp
• OTA software updates
• 15ft blade, double the volume of conventional blades
• Can push 7 to 9 cubic meters of material all-day
• Runs completely silently. The only thing you hear is the steel tracks moving and the material the dozer moves.
Founder Ahmed Shubber says he wants to compete with the Caterpillars of the construction industry by building the "Tesla of bulldozers." He's taking the "Tesla approach" by building everything from the hardware and software stack in-house, including what Lumina hopes will be the Moonlander's autonomous capabilities.
Lumina is currently raising $20 million to $40 million for its Series A round. The company's business model won't be focused on selling equipment. Instead, it will be the company that performs the excavation on project sites. The start date goal is January 2026.
