Bollinger Motors has created a purpose-built EV chassis that houses and shields the 158-kWh battery pack and components, with capability and safety for the commercial sector.

Unlike other electric vehicles that use outboard-mounted batteries on repurposed internal combustion engine (ICE) chassis, which can leave the batteries vulnerable, the B4 offers a more secure solution, Mullen Automotive ( MULN ) said.

Bollinger Motors is partnering on production with Roush Industries, which provides contract manufacturing services from its facility in Livonia, Michigan. 

“We are confident that we are bringing them a truck that will reward their trust and help transform their business. We cannot wait to get the B4 on the road, electrifying America’s fleets,”  said Jim Connelly, chief revenue officer of Bollinger Motors.

Price Action: MULN shares are trading higher by 8% to $0.2619 at last check Wednesday.
