On the road
Tow farther. Tow with less strain.
Motor propulsion, regenerative braking, and active stability control are designed to reduce the strain of towing—sharing the load on grades, recovering energy while slowing, and supporting a more composed tow.

The consequence
Towing takes a toll.
EV range
Unloaded300 mi
Towing120 mi
With LUMOS200 mi
Gas fuel economy
Unloaded20 mpg
Towing10 mpg
With LUMOS14 mpg
In this modeled scenario, LUMOS recovers roughly half of the range or fuel-economy loss from towing.
Illustrative targets, not validated performance results. Actual results will vary by tow vehicle, trailer load, route, speed, weather, and driving conditions. Hardware and road validation are next.
Designed for gas, hybrid, and electric tow vehicles
Trailer-mounted sensors are designed to handle the core job, helping LUMOS ONE work with gas, hybrid, and electric tow vehicles rated for the trailer. Compatible vehicle data can add even more context.
At camp
Designed for the road. Made for the destination.
A comfortable residential space at the destination, with a panoramic lounge, full-length galley, and a thoughtfully arranged floor plan.
Exterior view
Concept imagery includes the complete side profile, three-quarter view, interiors, and floor plan; production design may evolve.
Technology
Sense. Decide. Assist.
Sense
Understand the trailer
Trailer-mounted sensors are designed to read motion and monitor system health.
Decide
Choose what to do
The controller is designed to decide when to assist, recover energy, or stay out of the way.
Assist
Respond when needed
Motor propulsion is designed to assist on grades, regenerative braking recovers energy during deceleration, and active stability control is designed to support a composed tow.
Defined safe state
Confirmed faults are designed to move the system to a defined safe state.

Development & Validation
Validated across 180 simulated towing scenarios.
The control strategy was evaluated across 180 software-in-the-loop simulation cases spanning 8–20% grade scenarios. These are simulated results—not physical road-test data.

Test scope
180 cases spanning 8–20% grade scenarios compared the modeled control strategy with a reactive-assist baseline under matched simulated conditions.
Result
In that modeled comparison, the control strategy recovered 1.7× more range per usable battery kWh.
Limits
These results do not represent HIL, vehicle, durability, regulatory, or production validation. Final performance will vary with vehicle, load, terrain, speed, weather, and calibration.
Software foundation
The control architecture follows AUTOSAR Classic Platform principles for structured, vehicle-grade software.
