Lion Electric’s Lion5 truck for last mile delivery

At the front, the Lion5’s cab provides considerable roominess, and has been purposefully designed to be stationary with a cutaway configuration option enabling seamless passthrough between the cab and any suitable body upfit. The Lion5 has been engineered to be upfit with any suitable body application.  Body builders have access to 4kW of low voltage and up to 32kW of high voltage when equipped with the optional provisioned ePTO (“electric Power Take-Off”) interface.
