Lion Electric to lay off 300 more employees as bus company scales back production

The electric bus company says some 300 employees will be let go in the coming days in a 30 per cent cut to its workforce. It expects most of the layoffs to be temporary.

Lion Electric previously laid off about 220 employees in a pair of announcements in February and April. The Montreal-based company says the layoffs are part of a plan to better align its costs with current demand. The plan also involves ramping down production of electric trucks, creating a new product line to sell its battery packs to third parties and potentially leasing out a big chunk of its plant in Joliet, Ill.

The announcement comes as the company reported net losses that ballooned 63 per cent to US$19.3 million in the second quarter and a 48 per cent drop in revenue to US$30.3 million compared with the year before. In the three months ended June 30, Lion Electric says it delivered 101 vehicles – a drop of nearly 50 per cent year-over-year – and a diluted loss of nine cents per share versus a loss of five cents per share a year earlier, beating analysts expectations.Study and track financial data on any traded entity: click to open the full quote page.
