“As an organization that provides financing solutions focused on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, we firmly believe that electric transportation not only positively impacts our environment but can ultimately improve our quality of life. That makes our partnership with Lion perfectly attuned,” stated François Nantel, President of Mitsubishi HC Capital Canada.

The Lion Electric Company designs and manufactures zero-emission vehicles.

Lion Electric (LEV) is up by 2.96 per cent, trading at $3.13 per share as of 11:35 am EST.
