GLS Canada, a package delivery service company, is making strides towards a more sustainable future by replacing their current diesel trucks with four electric trucks. The Lion6 electric trucks were locally designed, developed, and built by Lion Electric in Canada. Two of these trucks will be used by GLS drivers in Quebec, while the other two will be used in Western Canada by Rosenau Transport, which GLS acquired in 2021.
“We are extremely proud to add Lion6 trucks to our fleet, which have been designed, developed, and built by Lion Electric in Canada. It brings us joy to support a local business and promote the local economy all while reducing our carbon footprint,” said Rick Barnes, the President of GLS Canada.

In addition to promoting sustainability, GLS Canada’s initiative also sets an example for other businesses.
