The eLion Zero-Emission Electric School Bus by La Compagnie Electrique Lion
Geschreven op 16-7-2017 - Erik van Erne. Geplaatst in Vervoer en OV
The eLion is more than just an electric school bus. In addition to its many economic benefits, the eLion stands out as the only zero-emission solution.
The eLion instills important values in younger generations by educating them on the importance of protecting the environment by using clean and renewable energy.
The eLion has a TM4 Electric Powertrain. Thanks to an electric motor delivering up to 250 kW, 2,200 Nm (about 335 HP, 2,200 lb./ft.), the eLion has as much or even more power than standard diesel engines in the school transportation industry. A touchscreen displays battery charge status in real time and allows a complete diagnosis of all eLion components. The eLion is the result of a collaboration between four compagnies from Quebec: TM4 on supplying the motor, CNTA on developing the electric drivetrain, B3CG on providing the battery packs and Bus Lion.
Lion offers several range options to optimize return on investment and school bus route planning: 75-mile (120-km) range and 100-mile (150-km) range.

Lion Electric receives conditional PO for 1,000 electric school buses, the largest fleet in North America
The Lion Electric Co. ($LEV) designs and manufactures zero-emission versions of Class 5 to Class 8 commercial trucks, as well as all-electric buses. Since being founded in 2011, the company has continually grown its fleet of heavy-duty all-electric offerings, as well as its customer base.
Previously, Lion Electric has provided electric heavy-duty vehicles to companies like Amazon, and has worked with commercial fleets at Con Edison and Green Mountain Power to help transition their vehicles toward zero-emission options.
It’s also important to note Lion Electric’s early and growing success with electric buses, having delivered hundreds in the past five years.
Earlier this year, we reported an order for Lion’s electric buses from California’s largest school district, but only ten Lion Cs to begi
