Bollinger Motors, in partnership with Roush Industries, is gearing up to begin production of the Bollinger B4 Chassis Cab, a Class 4 electric vehicle (EV) truck. The company has announced that saleable units of the B4 Chassis Cab will be rolling off the production line starting on September 16, 2024, with deliveries and revenue recognition expected to commence in October 2024. This marks a significant milestone for Bollinger Motors as it transitions from a start-up to a full-fledged production company.
The Bollinger B4 Chassis Cab is a purpose-built commercial truck designed with extensive input from fleet operators and upfitters. Unlike other electric vehicles that repurpose internal combustion engine chassis and mount batteries externally, the B4 features a unique EV chassis design that encloses and protects the 158-kWh battery pack and components. This design not only enhances the truck’s capability but also ensures safety in the commercial market.
The production of the B4 Chassis Cab is being carried out in collaboration with Roush Industries, a renowned contract manufacturing services provider based in Livonia, Michigan. Leveraging Roush’s expertise in production and e-mobility, honed over 50 years of innovative engineering, testing, and manufacturing services, Bollinger Motors is poised to deliver high-quality electric trucks to the market.
Bryan Chambers, President of Bollinger Motors, expressed his excitement about the upcoming production of the B4 Chassis Cab, emphasizing the collaborative effort of the entire team involved in making this project a reality. Jim Connelly, Chief Revenue Officer of Bollinger Motors, highlighted the strong market momentum and interest from customers across the country, underscoring the transformative impact the B4 will have on businesses looking to electrify their fleets.
In addition to the production announcement, Bollinger Motors has achieved several other milestones, including securing a full warranty coverage for the B4 Chassis Cab, receiving the Certificate of Conformity from the Environmental Protection Agency, and finalizing sales agreements with prominent fleet management companies. The company has also partnered with key suppliers and service providers to ensure a seamless production and delivery process for the B4.
Furthermore, Bollinger Motors has qualified for federal clean vehicle tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act, providing customers with additional incentives to adopt electric vehicles. With a growing network of dealers and service centers, as well as a strong lineup of partners, Bollinger Motors is well-positioned to make a significant impact in the commercial EV market.
As Bollinger Motors prepares to launch the B4 Chassis Cab and embark on a new chapter in its journey, the company remains committed to delivering innovative, sustainable, and reliable electric vehicles that meet the evolving needs of businesses and consumers.
