Mullen’s acquisition of a controlling interest in Bollinger revives production of the B1 pickup and B2 SUV, pictured above.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nBollinger, which recently moved its operations into a larger building in Oak Park, Michigan, just outside Detroit, was launched in 2015 and has developed proprietary vehicle battery packs, drivetrains, and thermal and vehicle control software units. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As part of the acquisition, the company brings Mullen 50,000 reservations previously taken for the B1 and B2 vehicles. With Mullen\u2019s acquisition and capital injection, both B1 and B2 programs will begin after the start of production for class 3-6 commercial truck programs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Earlier this month, Bollinger revealed for the first time the B4, a class 4 electric commercial truck. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
B4 will be first vehicle to market<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The B4 electric chassis cabs will be the first of the company\u2019s commercial lineup to hit the ground in upcoming client test programs. The new Bollinger B4 incorporates years of feedback from dozens of major fleets looking to electrify their vehicles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The result is a cab-forward truck, designed from the ground up to offer maximum cargo volume, accommodate unlimited adaptation and prioritize safety. Bollinger will be testing B4 chassis cab trucks this fall with fleet customers, upfitters, and charging companies to gather constructive feedback. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe are proud to design our commercial EVs from the ground up, here in America, offering greater efficiency, lower total cost of ownership and greater cargo volume. Our dream is to build the world\u2019s best trucks and SUVs,\u201d said Bollinger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis partnership will bring us closer to making those visions a reality, as it allows us to ramp up production on our end and get Mullen\u2019s EV programs to the market faster.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe have been looking at this space carefully and raising the capital in advance, allowing us to take advantage of opportunities that arise,\u201d added Michery. \u201cWe think Bollinger Motors is a perfect example of a smart investment in a known company and brand.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
