/PRNewswire/ -- Bollinger Motors, Inc., an electric
commercial vehicle ("EV") manufacturer, today announced it has
reached an agreement to sell five all-electric Class 4 Bollinger B4
commercial trucks to Spencer Manufacturing, which will upfit the
vehicles into emergency rescue trucks.
Spencer Manufacturing is a specialty upfitter of rescue vehicles
and fire trucks, including ladder, pumper, tanker, and
grass/wildland trucks. The company has a national sales footprint
working primarily with municipal fire departments. Spencer
Manufacturing will take possession of the vehicles after Bollinger

"We are excited to work with Spencer Manufacturing to use the
Bollinger B4 to keep communities safe," said Jim Connelly, chief revenue officer for
Bollinger Motors. "Durability, reliability and outstanding
performance are critical for public safety vehicles, and we are
proud that Spencer Manufacturing is putting its trust in the
Bollinger B4."
Spencer Manufacturing uses its unique, patented Solid-Poly
process to deliver emergency services vehicles that are corrosion
free and high-impact and damage resistant. The vehicles come with a
lifetime warranty on the substructure, body, and tank while
featuring maximized water and storage capabilities.
"We are impressed by the overall engineering of the Bollinger B4
and confident it will make an excellent emergency services
vehicle," said Grant Spencer,
president of Spencer Manufacturing. "Our agreement with Bollinger
Motors is another example of how we can provide unique and
innovative emergency vehicle solutions to our customers."
