| Date | Stage | Investors | Raised | Valuation | Deal Summary |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nov 2026 | Series D | Tiger Global; Ridgeline; Capricorn Investment Group; FedEx | $240M | - | Harbinger Motors raised USD 240 million in a Series D round announced in November 2026, co-led by Tiger Global, the Technology Impact Fund of Capricorn Investment Group and Ridgeline. Existing backers including FedEx took part, alongside crossover and public-market investors such as Fidelity Management & Research Company, Squarepoint Capital and Xantium, and returning investors Maniv and Greycroft. THOR Industries, PanaceaVC, ArcTern Ventures and BuildGroup were also named among the participants, and Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley acted as placement agents. The company said the proceeds will expand it beyond medium-duty trucks into energy storage, power generation, autonomy software and defense, and support the ramp-up of medium-duty manufacturing capacity. The round brings total capital raised since the company's 2021 founding to more than USD 650 million. The valuation was not disclosed. Harbinger, based in Garden Grove, California, designs all-electric and hybrid medium-duty vehicle platforms together with battery, drivetrain, auxiliary power and autonomous driving technology. It is led by co-founder and chief executive John Harris, and FedEx placed an order for 2,000 of its electric trucks in September 2026. |

| Jan 2026 | Undisclosed stage | güil Mobility Ventures | - | - | güil Mobility Ventures' official current investment and portfolio pages list Harbinger as a direct holding, and archived manager evidence places the company in the 2026 portfolio set. Harbinger manufactures integrated electric and plug-in hybrid platforms for medium-duty commercial vehicles. Its products include stripped chassis, cab chassis and work-truck configurations designed for delivery, recreational and specialized fleet applications. The company develops major components in-house and operates manufacturing in Garden Grove, California. For güil, the holding connects electric commercial-vehicle engineering with Grupo Kaufmann's fleet, sales and service footprint in Latin America. The named-investor lists in Harbinger's 2025 round releases do not identify güil, and their aggregate proceeds are therefore not copied into this event. The 2026 year reflects the first supported manager disclosure rather than an asserted securities close. Harbinger remains on güil's current site, and no firm-side disposal is documented. |
| Nov 2025 | Series C | Capricorn Investment Group (lead); FedEx (lead); Thor Industries (lead) | $160M | - | Harbinger, a Garden Grove, California-based manufacturer of American-made medium-duty electric and hybrid vehicles, raised $160 million in a Series C funding round on November 13, 2025, co-led by FedEx, Capricorn Investment Group's Technology Impact Fund, and THOR Industries. The round brings the company's total funding to $358 million, with participation from previous investors including Ridgeline, Tiger Global, Leitmotif (backed by Volkswagen), Maniv Mobility, Schematic Ventures, Overture Climate, Ironspring Ventures, ArcTern Ventures, Litquidity Ventures, and The Coca-Cola System Sustainability Fund managed by Greycroft. The funding aims to scale production of Harbinger's clean-sheet platform designed for optimized fleet performance, featuring passenger vehicle-like handling, up to 13,400 lb-ft of torque, and a 42-foot turning diameter. FedEx, the world's largest express transportation company, not only co-led the investment but also placed an initial order for 53 Class 5 and Class 6 electric vehicle chassis, with delivery by the end of 2025 to support its network transformation and goal of electrifying its entire pickup and delivery fleet by 2040. THOR Industries, the largest RV manufacturer with brands like Airstream and Jayco, deepened its commitment following the debut of the Entegra Coach Embark, a range-extended electric Class A motorhome on Harbinger's platform, which won awards including Fast Company’s 2025 World Changing Ideas, TIME’s Best Invention of 2025, and RV Business’s 2026 RV of the Year. This follows Harbinger's $73 million Series A in 2024 co-led by TechNexus and THOR. Harbinger's vehicles target medium-duty applications in logistics, delivery, and RV sectors, with prior orders totaling over $500 million reported in January from customers like Bimbo Bakeries USA and THOR Industries. The company emphasizes competitive pricing equivalent to combustion vehicles, rigorous on-road testing, state-of-the-art safety, and lower total cost of ownership to drive mass adoption of electric trucks. FedEx's involvement underscores demand for Harbinger's technology in advancing sustainability and operational efficiency in fleet operations. |
| Jan 2025 | Series B | Capricorn Investment Group (lead); Leitmotif (lead) | $100M | $520M | Harbinger Motors, a California-based manufacturer of American-made medium-duty electric and hybrid vehicle stripped chassis, targets electrification of the medium-duty trucking sector to reduce carbon emissions and fleet operating costs. The company's clean-sheet platform supports versatile use cases including delivery, RV chassis, and cab chassis, with features like ADAS technologies. In January 2025, Harbinger raised approximately $100 million in its Series B funding round, with detailed tranches including $79.04MM in Series B Senior and $14.09MM in Series B-1 Senior at a post-money valuation of $520.31 million, priced at $1.68 and $1.35 per share respectively. The round involved investors such as Capricorn Investment Group, Leitmotif, and others like Arctern Ventures, Greycroft, and Ridgeline. The Series B proceeds supported production ramp-up, which commenced in April 2025, expansion of sales, parts, and service operations for nationwide deployment, entry into the Canadian market in October 2025, investment in supplier tooling to lower costs, marketing, and new product development including hybrid RV chassis. Harbinger demonstrated strong traction with an order book of 4,690 vehicles valued at approximately $500 million from customers like FedEx and THOR Industries, reflecting investor confidence amid economic challenges and demand for electrified medium-duty vehicles. Following the Series B, Harbinger progressed to a $160 million Series C round closed November 13, 2025, co-led by FedEx, Capricorn’s Technology Impact Fund, and THOR Industries, including a FedEx order for 53 electric vehicles and participation from Leitmotif and prior investors, bringing total funding to $358 million. This evolution underscores Harbinger's maturation in the medium-duty EV ecosystem, with onshore manufacturing enabling volume ramp-up despite supply chain volatility, positioning it against competitors in logistics and mobility transitions. |

| Sep 2023 | Series A | Ridgeline (lead); Thor Industries (lead); Maniv Mobility; Ironspring Ventures; Acequia Capital (AceCap); Riverstone; Greycroft; Umami Capital; Tiger Global; Squarepoint Capital; Overture VC; Jackson Moses | $60M | - | Harbinger is a Garden Grove, California-based manufacturer of American-made medium-duty electric and hybrid vehicle stripped chassis, targeting commercial fleets like delivery and pickup with features such as passenger-like handling, up to 13,400 lb-ft torque, and a 42-foot turning diameter for urban navigation. Founded in 2022 by former Canoo and QuantumScape employees, the company focuses on onshore manufacturing for high U.S. content amid supply chain volatility. In September 2023, Harbinger raised a $60 million Series A round led by Ridgeline and THOR Industries to fund prototype development and early partnerships, matching the query's investors including Greycroft, Ironspring Ventures, Maniv Mobility, Overture VC, Tiger Global, and others. This established foundational traction in the medium-duty EV segment. Subsequent rounds built on this: a $73 million Series A in 2024 co-led by TechNexus and THOR (possibly overlapping or extension), a $100 million Series B in January 2025 co-led by Capricorn’s Technology Impact Fund and Leitmotif (Volkswagen-backed) for production ramp-up and Canadian entry, and a $160 million Series C in November 2025 co-led by FedEx, Capricorn, and THOR, bringing total funding to $358 million. The Series C included a FedEx order for 53 Class 5/6 vehicles and participation from prior investors like Ridgeline (FedEx-backed), Tiger Global, Maniv Mobility, Ironspring, Greycroft, and others. Harbinger launched series production in April 2025, sold over 200 chassis in 2025, and expanded to Canada in October 2025.

Harbinger positions against internal combustion models on cost and performance in the maturing medium-duty EV market. |
