RE:Just listened to the Lion electric 'sI think it's lix of different things.
First off we have to remember that the sort of buses Lion's focuses on are a bit different (school buses mainly) which have different supply needs compared to the transit vehicles that new flyer focuses on. Which makes a difference in terms of the sorts of parts Lion's needs to get their hands on. New Flyer's buses depend on a particular type of critical microprocessor control module which is only produced in one area. New Flyer made the mistake that is commonly made when it comes to parts ... design around only one type of part from one supplier to make your buses and then when that supplier has problems (like say for example supply chain disputions from a trade conflict) your company ends up with the short end of things.
