MONTREAL — Quebec vehicle-maker Lion Electric will no longer honour warranties on school buses and trucks sold in the United States, leaving clients south of the border in the lurch.
After seeking protection from its creditors in December, the struggling manufacturer was acquired by a group of Quebec investors in May with a plan to focus exclusively on electric school buses assembled and sold in the province. The company has retained its manufacturing plant in St-Jérôme, Que.
Earlier this month, the court-appointed monitor overseeing Lion’s restructuring sent a letter to U.S. clients informing them that their warranties and purchase orders have been voided.
