Harbinger, a Los Angeles electric-truck startup, has raised a $240 million Series D, according to TechCrunch, which reported the round on November 5, 2026 and says Bloomberg News first reported it. The round came almost a year after a $160 million Series C that included an initial truck order from FedEx. TechCrunch does not state a valuation.

Investors

  • Co-leads: Tiger Global, Capricorn’s “technology impact fund,” and Ridgeline, a defense-focused firm.
  • Repeat investors: FedEx, which led the previous round, Maniv, Greycroft and Leitmotif, a venture firm backed by Volkswagen.
  • New investor: Fidelity Management, which tends to invest in pre-IPO startups, per TechCrunch. Harbinger is reportedly weighing going public.
  • Bloomberg says Harbinger has raised more than $650 million in total, per TechCrunch.

The company and its expansion

Harbinger was founded in 2022 by former employees of the defunct EV startup Canoo and battery company QuantumScape. It started with a single electric-truck chassis and has expanded to battery storage and defense applications, TechCrunch says. It has acquired autonomy startup Phantom AI and is developing hybrid emergency vehicles. It has revealed a “driverless hybrid electric platform” for the military; the article names no defense customers or contracts and reports no revenue or production figures.

FedEx

FedEx placed its first large order with Harbinger, for 2,000 electric trucks valued at more than $300 million, per the report, and Paul Melander, FedEx’s senior vice president of safety and transportation, joined Harbinger’s board.
