The Lion Electric Company announced the successful final certification for its heavy-duty (HD) battery pack, the LionBattery HD, a lithium-ion battery pack specifically designed for the Company's purpose-built heavy-duty trucks. Lion, in collaboration with third-party testing partners, conducted stringent testing to meet the certification requirements. The LionBattery HD pack is now certified to meet the most rigorous criteria and safety regulations in the automotive industry.
