Q&A

Things are very busy for heavy-duty electric vehicle (EV) startup Bollinger Motors. The company, founded in June 2015, recently moved into a significantly larger facility in Oak Park, Michigan and is steadily hiring engineers. Bollinger Motors continues in its plans to begin local production of several Class-3 (GVWR 10,001-14,000 lb) vehicles, including its B1 SUV, its B2 pickup truck, plus a chassis-cab, a platform iteration and a newly-unveiled Deliver-E van. SAE Senior Editor Paul Seredynski corralled CEO and founder Robert Bollinger for an update on progress.
