help Lumeneo FAQ
What was Lumeneo, and when was it founded?
Lumeneo was a French electric-vehicle maker founded in 2006 by Daniel and Thierry Moulène. Its best-known projects were the narrow Smera and the four-seat Neoma, aimed at compact urban travel. [Lumeneo SMERA](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lumeneo_SMERA)
What made the Lumeneo Smera unusual?
The Smera was a two-seat electric car with tandem seating and a very narrow body, roughly 2.5 meters long. Its tilting design was reported to allow up to 25 degrees in corners, placing it between a small car and a scooter in concept. [Lumeneo SMERA](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lumeneo_SMERA)
Was the Lumeneo Neoma a production car?
Yes, Neoma production began in 2013 and French deliveries started in May of that year. It was a four-seat electric city car, unlike the two-seat Smera, but Lumeneo later filed for bankruptcy in November 2013. [Lumeneo Neoma](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lumeneo_Neoma)
Why did Lumeneo disappear from the electric-vehicle market?
The company struggled to turn its unusual low-volume vehicles into a lasting business, and the Neoma reportedly sold only around ten units before the 2013 bankruptcy filing. Lumeneo is therefore a historical French EV manufacturer, not a current production brand with a modern dealer network. [Lumeneo Neoma](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lumeneo_Neoma)
