Lion Electric<\/a>\u00a0will deliver 10 battery-electric trucks to Amazon \u2013 and the first two will be delivered this year. Amazon plans to use Lion\u2019s trucks in its middle-mile trucking operations, which transports items within the company\u2019s network.<\/p>\n

The addition of these battery-electric trucks to Amazon\u2019s fleet will help the company deliver on its goal of decarbonizing its transportation operations in support of The Climate Pledge<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“This vehicle delivery for Amazon represents a very significant milestone for Lion. Amazon is a leader in adopting decarbonizing technologies that can improve sustainability among their trucking fleet. Our all-electric trucks will be a valuable addition to Amazon\u2019s trucking operations as they work to deliver on their sustainability goals,” said\u00a0Marc Bedard, CEO and founder of Lion.<\/p>\n

As part of the delivery, Lion will provide a one-time training to Amazon and the drivers who will operate the trucks upon delivery of the vehicles. They will also establish a maintenance program for the trucks, as part of Lion\u2019s expanding network of Experience Centers.<\/p>\n

The trucks will be manufactured at Lion\u2019s Canadian facility, which has a current capacity to produce 2,500 electric trucks per year. Lion is also planning to open a larger manufacturing facility in the U.S. in the foreseeable future to accommodate the significant growing demand for its electric vehicles in the U.S.<\/p>\n

Lion\u2019s current<\/a> all-electric truck offering consists of Class 5 to Class 8 trucks available under various configurations, including straight truck, tractor, reefer, bucket, and refuse trucks.<\/p>\n

Lion\u2019s trucks are purpose-built for electric propulsion, provide for modularity in energy capacity, are agnostic on charging technology, are vehicle-to-grid enabled, and have a range of up to 250 miles.<\/p>\n

The company’s commercial urban truck collection leverages the company\u2019s 10-plus years of experience developing all-electric vehicles and battery systems, including the 6 million miles driven on its platforms since 2016. Lion\u2019s trucks are available for purchase today.<\/p>\n
