Bollinger Motors, an electric commercial vehicle (“EV”) manufacturer, has achieved a significant milestone in its quest to bring all-electric commercial trucks to market. The company announced that it has received its Certificate of Conformity from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for its Class 4 B4 Chassis Cab. This certification represents a crucial step forward for Bollinger Motors, as it signifies compliance with EPA emissions requirements and paves the way for the company to begin delivering vehicles to customers. Bollinger Motors plans to launch the Bollinger B4 Chassis Cab in the second half of 2024. The Certificate of Conformity confirms that the Bollinger B4 meets EPA emissions standards, which is a critical requirement for any manufacturer seeking to sell vehicles in the United States. While the Bollinger B4 is an all-electric, zero-emissions vehicle, this certification remains an essential step in the process. “This is a huge step for us in becoming the leader in all-electric commercial trucks,” said Robert Bollinger, founder and CEO of Bollinger Motors. “We are proud that the Bollinger B4 is engineered and assembled right here in the U.S. with 70% American-made content.” The Bollinger B4 Chassis Cab is a completely new, battery-electric, zero-emissions Class 4 commercial truck, designed from the ground up with extensive input from fleet operators and upfitters. Bollinger’s unique chassis design incorporates a robust 800V battery system and strategically placed components to ensure exceptional safety, flexibility, and performance in the demanding commercial market. Bollinger Motors recently secured eligibility for federal clean-vehicle purchasing incentives under the Inflation Reduction Act, which offers up to $40,000 in refundable tax credits per truck. This latest announcement follows a series of significant milestones achieved by Bollinger Motors in recent months, including: an 80-vehicle sale to Momentum Groups, a 50-vehicle sale to EnviroCharge, the addition of Nacarato Truck Centers, & Equipment, and LaFontaine Auto Group as dealers and service centers; a partnership with Our Next Energy in Novi, Mich. for battery pack supply; a collaboration with Roush Industries in Livonia, Mich. to manage vehicle assembly operations; a strategic alliance with Syncron as its warranty administration partner; and a partnership with Amerit Fleet Solutions for mobile service provision.
