About Lion Bus
LION (previously Lion Electric Company/La Compagnie Électrique Lion) is a Canadian electric vehicle manufacturer headquartered in Saint-Jérôme, Quebec. Founded in 2011 as Lion Bus (Autobus Lion), the company is primarily known for its production of yellow school buses, of which it was the first to mass produce as a fully electric vehicle. The company was renamed LION in the summer of 2025, following its emergence from creditor protection and bankruptcy and its purchase by a group of investors. During the early 2020s, the company also developed multiple product lines, including electrified transit buses and commercial truck chassis and semitractors. Since its founding, the company has assembled vehicles at its facility in Saint-Jérôme, Quebec; the company also produced buses in Joliet, Illinois from 2023 to 2024.
