At the center of high-tech innovation
Innovation is part of Lightyear's DNA. We are located at the automotive campus in Helmond - part of the Brainport region of the Netherlands: the heart of European innovation. We work together with highly specialized leading partners from the automotive industry to develop, manufacture, assemble and test our products. Lightyear creates its own delivery and service network for its vehicles and works with a variety of commercial partners so you can share or rent your Lightyear vehicle anywhere. Other partners provide valuable legal, personnel, informational and organizational advice that supports the growth of our company.
