Bollinger Innovations (NASDAQ: BINI) has expanded its commercial electric vehicle dealer network through new partnerships with Ziegler Truck Group LLC and Range Truck Group LLC. The expansion extends Bollinger Motors' sales and service coverage to Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, and Washington, marking a significant step in the company's national distribution strategy for commercial electric vehicles.
The new dealerships will offer the Bollinger B4 all-electric Class 4 chassis cab alongside the Mullen ONE Class 1 cargo van and Mullen THREE Class 3 chassis cab truck. These vehicles will be rebranded as Bollinger Motors products in future model years, consolidating the company's commercial EV offerings under a unified brand identity. Company executives emphasized that these partnerships are crucial for advancing sustainable fleet transportation solutions in key regional markets.
Bollinger Innovations operates a U.S.-based vehicle manufacturing facility in Tunica, Mississippi, where it produces next-generation commercial electric vehicles. The company's current commercial dealer network now comprises seven dealers, including Papé Kenworth, Pritchard EV, National Auto Fleet Group, Ziegler Truck Group, Range Truck Group, and Randy Marion Auto Group. This network provides comprehensive sales and service coverage across West Coast, Midwest, Pacific Northwest, New England, and Mid-Atlantic markets.
The expansion follows Bollinger Motors' recent production launch of the B4 Class 4 electric truck on September 16, 2024. The Michigan-based EV truck company has developed what it describes as a world-class dealer network with over 50 locations across the United States for sales and service support.
