Lion Electric Class 6 truck ride along

Lion Electric Class 6 truck ride along

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.

For more details including vehicle specs and range, in addition to more about Lion Electric’s entry into the trucking market, watch the video above.
