## About

Based in the United Kingdom, Bristol Superlight Limited, dba Superlight, operates as a B2B commercial electric vehicle manufacturer. The company provides lightweight electric trucks, logistics fleet solutions, and vehicle engineering technologies for middle-mile transportation operators.

Based in Bristol, England, and founded in 2016, Bristol Superlight Limited, dba Superlight, develops lightweight commercial electric vehicles for the logistics and transportation industry. The company focuses on designing energy-efficient electric trucks that reduce operating costs and improve fleet sustainability. Superlight was founded by brothers Noamaan Siddiqi and Sheban Siddiqi, who have led the company's vehicle development efforts. As of July 2026, the company is led by its CEO, Noamaan Siddiqi. In June 2026, Superlight raised USD 21 million in Series A funding co-led by Engine Ventures and 2150, with participation from Avila VC to support manufacturing expansion, commercial deployment, and international growth initiatives.

Superlight's core product offering is an innovative, aerospace-inspired electric truck designed to revolutionize cargo transport, particularly in the middle mile logistics segment. The vehicle utilizes a lightweight aluminium monocoque structure, enhancing payload volume by 50% and achieving a 73% reduction in cost per pallet per kilometer. It features a sophisticated digital architecture enabling software-defined control and automated logistics management through its proprietary digital assistant, Autonomous Logistics and Integrated Service (ALIS). This system processes real-time data to facilitate predictive maintenance and optimize vehicle uptime, addressing logistical challenges across various industries.

Superlight generates revenue primarily through the sale of its electric trucks and associated software services, forming a comprehensive solution for businesses seeking efficient logistics operations. Clients purchase vehicles and subscribe to ongoing software services, such as the ALIS platform, for enhanced fleet management. The pricing structure offers cost parity with diesel vehicles at the point of purchase while delivering lower operational costs, ensuring long-term value for customers. The flagship product is central to Superlight's commitment to transforming the economics of middle mile logistics.

The company will use the June 2026 funding to complete the buildout of its UK manufacturing facility, fulfill initial sales in the UK and EU, and provide federalized vehicles for customer testing and US market entry.
