Effective June 18, 2024, Mullen Subsidiary, Bollinger Motors, Receives EPA Certification for Class 4 EV Commercial Trucks
24 June 2024 - 11:00PM
via IBN – Mullen Automotive Inc. (NASDAQ: MULN), an electric
vehicle (“EV”) manufacturer, today announces its subsidiary,
Bollinger Motors, has received its Certificate of Conformity from
the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) for its Class 4 B4
Chassis Cab. The Certificate of Conformity attainment is another
important milestone for Bollinger Motors as it moves closer to
delivering initial vehicles to customers.
Bollinger Motors plans to launch the Bollinger B4 Chassis Cab in
the second half of 2024. The Certificate of Conformity certifies
that the Bollinger B4 conforms to EPA emissions requirements. While
the Bollinger B4 is an all-electric, zero-emissions vehicle, the
certification is still an important requirement for any
manufacturer to begin selling vehicles in the United States. A copy
of Bollinger’s Class 4 EPA certification can be found
here.
“This is a huge step for us in becoming the leader in
all-electric, commercial trucks,” said Robert Bollinger, founder
and CEO of Bollinger Motors. “We are proud that the Bollinger B4 is
engineered and assembled right here in Michigan with 70%
American-made content.”
The Bollinger B4 Chassis Cab is an all-new, battery-electric,
zero-emissions Class 4 commercial truck designed from the ground up
with extensive fleet and upfitter input. Bollinger’s unique chassis
design protects the 800-volt battery and components to offer
unparalleled safety, flexibility and performance in the commercial
market. Bollinger Motors recently qualified for federal clean
vehicle purchasing incentives under the Inflation Reduction Act,
which provides $40,000 in refundable tax credits per truck.
Today's announcement follows a series of Bollinger Motors’
milestones in recent months, including: an 80-vehicle sale to
Momentum Groups; 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.
