Omg!! Love the sound. Same one as the MR-73 trains of the Montréal metro!
My district use it
LION, made in Quebec
As far as I know there are no Lion bus running in montreal, but if it was that must be hella confusing to hear the door closing chime of the metro from a bus rolling slowly there lol
LionC when going below 15 mph: *Makes a Ice Cream truck tone*
Kids: OH MY GOD ITS A ICE CREAM TRUCK COMING
LionC: No, ur going to school.
That's a fun twist on our low-speed warning signal!
Fun fact for those that might not know: this is the Montreal Metro departure chime.
So, in a sense, that sound is already used to transporting people! ;)
@@TheLIONElectric I hear it every morning and I thought I was loosing my mind since I live close enough to a Metro station that to my groggy morning brain wasn't much of a stretch to assume that a train is outside my window
@@Xachremos Idea: It could play different sounds like a tune of sorts
I love this Bus!!!! I want to ride one, I love the "DOO DOO DOO!!!!" Sound when it goes below 15 mph
My district have them
Idea: Schools can opt for the bus to play a tune
Plus, The Megaphone could be used for the driver to make announcements through, or scream through it as a warning sound of sorts
I remember as a kid riding on those ancient International school busses from the late 90s early 2000s. Super loud diesel engine, always had to yell to my friends on there, and the rumble was a whole different scene! Despite being in IL, we had no AC, and no seatbelts. It was kind of fun to sit in the back and get tossed around over the bumps, that is for sure. I will miss the old busses, and the general loud diesel rumble of them, but I guess EV busses are the way of the future. My University currently has diesel shuttles (regular busses) to and from downtown Chicago (second campus) and it really can be hard to talk to my classmates when the bus is in high gear rolling down Lake Shore Drive.
We still operate year 2000 international or peterbuilt
They still have rumble is the bus it’s Annoying
Great design! New product that feel mature.
This is the future of school transportation. Love it.
wont compete with IC or Thomas
Wouldn’t you think schools will be spending more in electric bills and of course on charter buses when schools take field trips or students to after school athletic events cause depending on distance doubt the bus will make it there and back before having to recharge especially with the possibly of them having to do thier own bus routes either right before or after the field trip or athletic events.
@@gradientgamer5480 totally agree. Bluebird, IC, Thomas are all top game.
@@dman1908 hydrogen and Compressed natural gas (C.N.G) buses are good alternative fuel options for longer range and refuel times!
Hello, I am an electric school bus. I can't go very far or very fast. If you drive me, people will think you are...
Quality video & school bus product. Love to see more products similar to explanation video like this one.
Great work Lion ⚡️🦁 I’m proud to be an investor!
If I had a school transportation contract, these buses would definitely be in my fleet, nice job and NGA!!!!
Where do you think electricity comes from? Every see a electrical plant? Ever seen the pollution pouring out of the stakes? The harder the electric plant works the more pollution it produces. These buses are a joke and will take decades to put in every city in every state. Democrats are delusional.
Great English speaking video. As sales guys you need to highlight the number one benefit which is no diesel exhaust which is known to reduce IQ, and increase asthma. Parents want the best for their kids and Lion provides this feature and benefit. Sell a lot of these units as our kids deserve it.
Thank you so much I’m a school bus driver for district 24 in Illinois for the last 12 years I’ve been driving electric leaf since 2014👍😎🚌🔋🔌
Clawboss brought me here, thanks for the cool features on this bus
sameeee
Same
I love the ''Je me souviens'' licence plate.
J’ai oublié
Love what you are doing. Just bought 10,000 shares of NGA awaiting for the merger...
Didn’t expect you here
why not
How much did you make?
@@AmusementForce you still own those 10,000 shares?
Also how many miles can you get out of charge with the largest battery pack
That's on their website.
Loving this company, I believe you guys will explode in the US market in years to come.
Nice video. EVs can be charged when there is low use of the grid, such as at night. These busses are being deployed for V2G Vehicle to Grid to power buildings when parked. West Palm Beach FL and Florida Power and Light are researching using V2G for backing up during power outages.
Question, bus drivers usually go home during peek times of 530 or 630. Who will plug up the busses when those peek times end?
@@Lennox1492 The time at which charging starts can be automated easily.
@@elijahwatson8119 oh so you’re going to have a charge station one for each bus? If they all had to be charged for the next day then you have to pay someone to move them around because you know there isn’t going to be one station for each bus!
@@Lennox1492 at least in the case of level 2 chargers, they really aren't all that expensive. Getting the electrical capacity to the bus lot and running all the wiring would be the expensive part, however.
Have you thought about having solar panels on the roof as a back up. Another way to charge the batteries, and even a generator encase of a power outage? Just a thought.
With the batteries they've got in there you could probably idle in that bus heated or cooled for weeks.
Also, I'm just curious what dictates that huge tail swing size/configuration?
Can you give onsite charging and quick battery swap technology.Also option to carry pack of spare charged batteries on the vehicle.
Hello, I'm your investor. I'm proud of this video.
Love it! Please make a RV version for the rest of us who are out of school.
Are you willing to pay 400k$+ for it?
Love driving the electric LION.
Would you do a left-side entrance door for a New York buyer?
love it!!!!
And the prices? They seem like a good option for public service in my country. (We have some school buses working on some routes, they are the only ones that have the reliability need to those routes, well, and because costs). Greetings
Those switches are like sideways or just inverted
i remember when carpenter was top of the line, busses had 4 speed manual and a 327 chevy
Can these vehicles come with air brakes?
AWSOME!!!
Awesome bus will be investing in LEV
Will there be a Shorty version of this bus?
Do you have the option of wheelchair accessibility
will be make a 14 passenger activity bus ? And a white bus same style as this bus but with flatnose bus ?
You guys can also make a chasis for class A RV'S, and sell them to Thor and Winnebago.
Congratulations Lions Electric Buses
As an EV enthusiast, I’m curious why there’s an option for the diesel heater in colder climates? Especially since Lion is marketing this as a zero emissions bus? Does it have to do with possible range impact? I’m from one of the hotter states where we don’t get snow in the winter, so I’m genuinely curious?
Great question!
Diesel heating is indeed a need in colder climate conditions as electrical heating directly taking energy from the batteries would greatly diminish the range.
However, to put things into perspective, from our early data collection of the vehicles' performance, the diesel heater on our vehicles takes around 850 L of diesel per year, while an internal combustion engine school bus takes about 12,000 L of diesel per year - quite a significant difference.
Furthermore, the energy-dense diesel used for our heaters is converted at about 90% into heat, while the diesel used for propulsion of ICE school buses is only used at about 33% of its energetic capabilities towards mobility of the vehicle. The next 33% (roughly) is lost through heat dispersion, and the other 33% (roughly) is lost directly through the exhaust via chemistry.
But again, to answer your question, it's about saving range! ⚡
@@TheLIONElectric 👍 Thanks for the reply and those numbers are impressive :)
These buses should have an option to play various sounds and tunes
Do you have a wheelchair version?
2:57 the noise is the Montreal metro door chime?? Neat
Moi aussi je me disais la même chose
@@Tony-Di-Mateo mois je entendu ca dans mon autobus ecolaire
Can school board that is in state state of Florida purchase your buses🚌
I want to buy a heavy duty 45 foot bus.
I’m a private civilian. I’m not a school system. How can I? Do I go to an auction?
We think that emergency door should be on the right (passenger) side. Think about emergency situations- most likely one pulls to the right with more traffic passing on the left side while the right side is a curb side or a shoulder. Also back up cameras needed and parctronics. Otherwise send a few to Kansas city! :)
Also these vehicles are high voltage so if you see orange wiring harnesses they indicate high voltage
If one of these buses could be spare, I would drive it, but I would drive a 100% Blue bird vision with the new grille.
Donc il n'y aura plus de fabrication au Québec ?
Bonjour Daniel,
Merci de votre question.
Produit actuellement tous ses véhicules dans sont usine de St-Jérôme, et elle restera en utilisation même une fois que l'usine aux États-Unis sera opérationnelle.
De plus, nous avons un centre d'innovation et de production de batteries qui verra le jour au Québec presqu'en même temps que celle de véhicules aux État-Unis mentionnée ci-haut.
Lion est fièrement québécois et le restera, tout comme une bonne portion de sa production commerciale.
Merci encore de votre question, passez une excellente fin de journée,
L'équipe Lion Électrique
How many miles does it go on a single charge?
It's on their website.
my question is how can the driver see such a small dash even someone like me with good eyesight wouldn't even be able to tell my speed with such a small dash and gage clusters and also assuming the touchscreen tablet off to the side doesn't display your speed that it displays your usage charge and performance
Nice one. The video does not depict the driver's view. I'm sure they thought of that.
I love this schoolbus in america U.S.A omg
What is the range of travel. I do 200 miles a day.
In a school bus?
i see you have a light monitor inside your lion electric school bus buy you did't take about that light monitor maybe if you can do another video about that light monitor just asking my friend
I want to convert a bud to a home when I’m out of school, but I was always worried about paying for diesel at 10mpg on the bus and diesel being so expensive. Hopefully these buses will be easy to get a hold of in 7-10 years
No cup holder?
Even When was younger When I Entered The bus I used The Seat Belt
Why not install a generator under the hood so the battery can charge itself?
And a windmill on the roof...
Then it would be a hybrid bus
Nice video .... what this bus missing is are stop sticks for driver who ignore the sign of a School Bus *mhhh* .... or a flip-out stop-sign *mhhh* .....
You should add under-ride protection
Not a fan of the blue bumpers, but I realize it’s to differentiate between itself and a diesel bus…..🤔
For my distric green bumper means electric
At least it looks WAY better than IC's Take on an Electric Bus.
The grille-less design is kind of off-putting, isn't it?
When I went inside I heared a STM METRO Stop
Fier d’être québécois!
… jusqu’à ce que tu regardes l’état des rues… 🪹🐓
@@beanapprentice1687 parrait que sort pas de la region du grand montreal toi 😂 le Québec c’est grand

🤸♂️
l want this all around america
Yeah mate that would be horrible electric bills will blow sky high! 🤣
@@allanallstar342 hydrogen and Compressed natural gas (C.N.G) buses are good alternative fuel options for longer range and refuel times!
@@allanallstar342have you forgotten that diesel costs money?
This is good going back to yard at night need heavier electric service to charge fifty buses at once this would make nice transit bus with transit seats I would want seats face rear most accent are forwardoving seat back can control energy better then seat belts. Navy aircraft does this for passenger
So at the most 155 mile range and that's probably with out using any of the heat or A/C. Yea might work in a city but not out in the country. I'll keep my diesel bus
You don't get to decide what you keep lol.
That’s fine, nobody’s forcing you to switch vehicles. Those who can switch to electric will do so, given the benefits.
when u have this that’s how u know no one has to stand
It is 100% electric ,but if it is charged from the grid then it highly likely that it is NOT 100% emission free. The emissions are transferred from the bus to the power station. Better than diesel for sure 👍
Even if the grid was entirely oil-powered, it would still be better than a diesel bus because power plants are more efficient than combustion engines inside of a vehicle.
After that All You Had To is To Ask the bus Driver
I get picked up everyday for school with this bus is smooth but I hate the metro music everything is good
It can probably be changed.
Kids will be looking for USB charging ports on this bus and asking what's the wifi password
Im a driver, and i wished they'd get our paid input on how a bus needs to be made, like no cheap rattles from components and panels, windows, and doors, i hate that the front windshield has to be so tall and let in the blinding sun and no the visor does not help, so here i am driving with one hand on wheel and the other holding a clip board to block the brightness so i can fn see,! I cant wear sunglasses because i wear prescription glasses
They make prescription sunglasses, though, and if you get them through a place that offers a deal on a second pair, they can be had for not too much money.
They use diesel powered heaters. Only Thomas Bus is fully electric.
Option...lol
@@dadejazzba402 heat in passenger area is essential in Canada and Northern US states. Lion calls this an option but in fact is a failure on their part. Thomas heaters are all electric, no diesel.
Yes...electric vs diesel options available...yawn so Lion is superior in that...lol
The powertrain is fully electric, regardless of the heater
It has a Radio but Before It Didn’t
Because It Wasn’t Activated
As a Little kid I Thought School Buses Never Ever Had A/C
AC controls at your fingertips... more like at your elbow.
Love all these fake comments trying to tease people to invest.
Seatbelts should be mandatory in all states!! The whole idea that seatbelts may not be necessary for child safety is based on purposely-scuffed studies from decades ago.
Blue with yellow, yikes!
Great idea, let's build a fleet for California schools.
Let's turn those brownouts into good solid blackouts!
Look at Texas, where blackouts happened without so many EV's
Maybe stop voting democrat, and just maybe, you would have an electrical grid up to first world standards LOL
Actually, with these busses, brownouts will be alleviated, not worsened. That’s because the busses can use their giant batteries to feed power back into the grid during power shortages. And in an emergency you can always charge them with a fossil fuel generator.
Blue and yellow do not go together at all
It looks really ugly without the front grill
my question is why can’t you just get a normal school bus body and make it electric
because this thing looks ugly
Yeah lol.
Look at the Model S. Shit actually looks sick.
idk why School busses like this try to make it look retarded
i dont like it, ic all the way
2:57 Ice cream truck lol bus is very ugly,
Man, IC really dropped the ball on this one. They should have just used their existing IC CE body. This is real ugly.
Also, CNG is better than electric.
What are you talking about? This is a completely different company..
@@smorris281 ,
@@smorris281 That's why CNG is in a dozen cars, not like the thousands of EVs that can be charged at home.
It looks unfinished
Why do all electric vehicles look so ugly
Like a Dodge!
Ewwww very ugly bus
Don't look at it; orrrrrr.... Grow up!
That bus looks ugly af
🤢🤮 oh what generic junk. Can we say “Blindspots”
