One of the best parts of ACT Expo is being able to get some time with new names in the trucking industry–a chance to see and ride in the latest electric trucks.

The Lion 6 Class 6 truck is just one of Lion Electric’s Class 5 through 8 lineup that are manufactured in Lion’s Canadian facility, which has a current capacity to produce 2,500 electric trucks per year.
