Lion Electric wins XXL-order for electric school buses
Canada’s Lion Electric strikes again. This time close to home. The commercial vehicle maker has received an order from Autobus Séguin, a transportation operator headquartered in Quebec. They ordered 60 electric school buses to arrive over five years.
Lion Electric says this is the single largest order to date of electric school buses in North America. They plan to deliver the first ten buses throughout 2021 and supply the remaining 50 buses through 2026, so we reckon about ten buses a year.
Autobus Séguin will integrate the new e-buses of type LionC into its existing fleet. “Ultimately, our ambition is to electrify our entire fleet of more than 310 school buses by 2030,” said Stéphane Boisvert, the Groupe’s President.
