At this year's ACT Expo, Lion showcased its Lion6 Class 6 truck upfit for a variety of applications including stake bed and refrigeration.
“Reaching 10 million miles on the road is a major achievement for Lion and we’re excited to be able to celebrate this here at ACT Expo, where industry stakeholders can see our vehicles firsthand. Our significant real-world experience means that Lion is able to design and deliver the highest quality zero-emission medium and heavy-duty vehicles on the market, purpose-built from the ground up to be electric,” said Marc Bedard, CEO – Founder, Lion Electric.
Lion displayed three vehicles at ACT Expo, including:
