The Lion Electric Company (NYSE: LEV) is a Quebec‐based manufacturer specializing in the design, development and production of all-electric medium- and heavy-duty vehicles. Its product lineup includes purpose-built electric school buses, transit buses, paratransit vehicles, and Class 6–8 delivery trucks. In addition to its vehicle offerings, Lion Electric provides integrated charging solutions designed to enable efficient fleet deployment and minimize total cost of ownership.
Founded in late 2015 by brothers Marc and Daniel Bédard, Lion Electric has grown from a single-model school bus operation into a diversified zero-emission commercial vehicle manufacturer. The company’s first production facility is located in Saint-Jérôme, Québec, and in recent years it has expanded its footprint with a U.S. manufacturing center in Joliet, Illinois. Lion has pursued a targeted expansion strategy to support rising demand for electrified fleets across North America.
Lion Electric serves municipal school districts, public transit agencies, corporate fleets and private operators across Canada and the United States. Its electric school buses are deployed in urban and rural settings alike, while its medium-duty trucks address last-mile delivery challenges in major metropolitan areas. The company also works closely with utility partners and charging infrastructure providers to deliver turnkey solutions, from site planning to charger installation and energy management systems.
Under the leadership of co-founder and Chief Executive Officer Marc Bédard, Lion Electric has maintained a focus on vertical integration and advanced manufacturing techniques. Daniel Bédard, co-founder and Chief Financial Officer, oversees the company’s finance, supply chain and investor relations functions. Together, the leadership team aims to accelerate the transition to zero-emission transportation and to position Lion Electric as a leading provider of electric commercial vehicles in North America and beyond.
