US EditionLion Electric will not respect warranties on school buses sold in United States
QUEBEC, CANADA, JUL 31 – Lion Electric is focusing on Quebec operations during restructuring, voiding U.S. warranties for about 1,000 buses, prompting legal threats from some American clients.
- According to a court-appointed monitor, Lion Electric, Quebec vehicle-maker, voided warranties on U.S. school buses earlier this month.
- Amid a restructuring process, Lion Electric sought creditor protection in December and was acquired by Quebec investors in May to focus on Quebec-assembled school buses.
- In response to the warranty voiding, Richard Decman, superintendent of a rural Illinois district, said his district’s 25 Lion buses lack maintenance options, and Andrew Dolloff is weighing legal action or disposal.
- Lion says it intends to relaunch U.S. service in key markets such as California, while Los Angeles Unified School District will enlist vendors with qualified technicians and engineering staff with Lion-specific experience to maintain its 28 buses.
- According to a July 15 letter, most Lion Group assets, liabilities and rights were transferred to a corporation set for bankruptcy winding-up, and the monitor says the company is likely to be liquidated and sold roughly 100 buses to Prince Edward Island.
