Mullen Automotive, Inc. (NASDAQ: MULN) (“Mullen” or the “Company”), an emerging electric vehicle (“EV”) manufacturer, announces today Bollinger Motors (“Bollinger”) has received vehicle orders for 40 B4, Class 4 EV trucks. Total orders are valued at approximately $6 million.
The Company anticipates the Bollinger B4 chassis cab to begin production in mid-2024 and is expected to be eligible nationwide for a federal purchasing incentive of 30% of the cost of the vehicle, up to a total of $40,000, through the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.
“The B4 has been very well received to date and it’s great to see our first 40 vehicle orders coming in well in advance of production start,” said Robert Bollinger, CEO of Bollinger Motors.
“I am proud of the Bollinger B4, which will be American-made in the great state of Michigan,” said David Michery, CEO and chairman of Mullen Automotive.
The Bollinger B4 chassis cab is an all-new, all-electric Class 4 commercial truck. These purpose-built electric trucks have been designed to be custom-configured by fleets to fit their exact duty cycle needs, making the transition to electric as seamless as possible with minimal downtime. Every aspect of these trucks has been streamlined to be as versatile as possible. Clean, unobstructed frame rails for easy mounting and upfit adaptation, with all drivetrain components safely packaged inside the rails. Its cab forward design provides improved visibility and frees up space behind the driver for more cargo.
