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. I caught up with Lion Electric for an electrically driven drive around the Long Beach Convention Center. 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.

"We haven't finished the recommended practice yet, but we're trending towards some percentage of LEDs being out before it's not legal anymore, which therefore [means] it's not safe anymore," he said, standing inside the Peterson Mfg. Co. show trailer at this year's TMC show held in New Orleans. "Keeping trailer lights lit is vital to uptime because you're not going to get a violation, you're not going to get an infraction, you're not going to be put out of service by CVSA.
