flag Quebec halts 1,200 electric school buses after fires, raising concerns about its electrification goals.

flag Quebec is facing disruptions to school bus routes after pulling 1,200 Lion electric buses from service following a fire in Montreal, sparking scrutiny of the province’s electric school bus plan. flag Critics argue the government’s decision to grant Lion a near-monopoly—driven by a requirement that buses be assembled in Canada—has led to reliability issues, delayed repairs, and reduced financial support, prompting some operators to cancel orders and switch back to diesel. flag With multiple Lion buses involved in fires over the past year and ongoing inspection delays, concerns are growing that the current approach may hinder the province’s goal to electrify 65% of its school bus fleet by 2030.
