DETROIT, March 5,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Bollinger Motors, Inc., an
electric commercial vehicle ("EV") manufacturer, has named the next
two dealership groups spanning seven states and 11 locations, as
they rollout their commercial electric truck line, beginning with
the Bollinger B4 Chassis Cab in the second half of 2024.
The dealership groups are:
- Nacarato Truck Centers – 10 locations in Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Maryland, Tennessee, and Virginia
- Nuss Truck & Equipment – one location in Minneapolis, Minn.
The Bollinger B4 Chassis Cab is an all-new, all-electric class 4
commercial truck designed from the ground up with extensive fleet
and upfitter input. Bollinger's unique chassis design protects the
158 kwh battery pack and components to offer unparalleled
capability and safety in the commercial market. The company
anticipates deliveries of the Bollinger B4 to begin in the second
half of 2024.
"We are building our national dealer network very strategically
to ensure that they share Bollinger's commitment to quality and
customer service," said Robert
Bollinger, founder and CEO of Bollinger Motors. "These two
dealership groups represent some of the busiest trucking hubs in
the country and we welcome these new locations to the Bollinger
family as we work to electrify fleets across the country."
Today's announcement follows a series of Bollinger Motors
announcements in recent months, including partnerships with Our
Next Energy in Novi, Mich. to
supply the company with batteries and related components and Roush
Industries in Livonia, Mich.
to manage vehicle assembly operations. The company recently
qualified for federal clean vehicle tax credits under the Inflation
Reduction Act of $40,000 per vehicle
for the B4 chassis cab. Earlier this month, Michigan's LaFontaine Automotive
Group was named as the first commercial dealer.
