The Bollinger B4 is designed from the ground up with extensive fleet and upfitter input.

The company anticipates deliveries of the Bollinger B4 to begin in the second half of 2024.
Warranty availability is another important next step in bringing the Bollinger B4 to market. The company has reached several milestones in recent months, including: receiving the Certificate of Conformity from the Environmental Protection Agency; a 70 vehicle sale to Doering Fleet Management; a five vehicle sale to Spencer Manufacturing, which will upfit the vehicles into emergency rescue trucks; an 80 vehicle sale to Momentum Group; a 50 vehicle sale to EnviroCharge; the addition of Nacarato Truck Centers, Nuss Truck & Equipment, and LaFontaine Auto Group as dealers and service centers; Our Next Energy in Novi, Michigan, to supply battery packs; Roush Industries in Livonia, Michigan, to manage vehicle assembly operations; Syncron as its warranty administration partner; and Amerit Fleet Solutions as its mobile service provider.
In addition to Bollinger Motors’ growth, it recently named former General Motors’ executive James Taylor as CEO. He takes over for company founder Robert Bollinger, who is a founding shareholder and will remain on the company’s Board of Directors. This leadership change positions Bollinger Motors for continued success as the company prepares for production.
