Bollinger Motors, which recently became a majority owned company of Mullen Automotive Inc., is teaming up with Wabash, a leading truck body and trailer manufacturer, to develop a refrigerated electric truck designed for last-mile deliveries.
Wabash has developed a lightweight composite technology, EcoNex Technology, for use in truck bodies and trailers that will seamlessly integrate with Bollinger’s Class 4 electric chassis cab.
The new truck will offer ncreased total payload capacity due to lower overall weight, and overall cost savings due to thermal efficiency.
on September 7th, 2022, Bollinger Motors become a majority owned EV truck company of Mullen Automotive, Inc. This is Mullen’s first EV acquisition and propels the Company into the medium-duty truck classes 3-6, along with the B1 and B2 sport utility trucks.
Robert Bollinger, Founder & CEO of Bollinger Motors, says: “I’m excited to help ‘green up’ the journey from farm to table. We’re confident Wabash’s expertise in commercial transportation, combined with Bollinger’s leadership in Class 4 electrification, will deliver a superior product for customers looking to reduce their carbon footprints.”
“Wabash’s EcoNex composite technology reduces the amount of electricity needed to maintain cold temperatures,” adds Mark Ehrlich, VP new business development at Wabash. “The all-electric truck we’re developing with Bollinger Motors will be highly efficient with more uptime and less charging compared to conventional construction.”
Founded in 2015 by Robert Bollinger, Bollinger Motors is a U.S.-based company, headquartered in Oak Park, Michigan. Bollinger Motors will manufacture all-electric platforms and chassis cabs for commercial vehicles in Classes 4-6.
