Bollinger Motors Chooses Our Next Energy as Battery Supplier for Electric Commercial Trucks

Bollinger Motors, which recently became a majority owned company of Mullen Automotive, Inc., has announced Our Next Energy (ONE) will be supplying modular, battery packs to power its all-electric commercial platforms and chassis cabs. Michigan-based ONE is an energy storage company focused on battery technologies designed to accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles and expand the possibilities of next-level storage solutions. 

Bollinger Motors will first launch its Class 4 Chassis Cab which is designed to hold 1 or 2 battery packs, depending on the customer’s desired range needs.

Class 5 Platforms for walk-in van upfits will follow.

The battery packs are expected to be available for Bollinger’s anticipated start of production in late 2023. 

Bollinger's all-electric Class 4 through Class 6 chassis cabs are designed to meet commercial customers’ needs in a segment that often requires large payloads, sufficient range, durability, and longevity. 

Robert Bollinger, founder and CEO of Bollinger Motors, says: “ONE battery packs are ideal for our commercial trucks, giving our customers the range they need,”. The fact they’ll be built in the US and in Michigan is a huge advantage for us going forward.”

“We are pleased to provide Bollinger commercial vehicles with industry-leading range, using our Aries LFP battery platform,” adds Mujeeb Ijaz, founder and CEO of ONE. “The Aries LFP chemistry contains no nickel and cobalt, offering superior durability and daily charging up to 100% without compromise."

"Halting development of our batteries in-house and teaming up with ONE is a win-win in both technological advancement and production logistics," comments Bryan Chambers, COO of Bollinger Motors. "We've not only advanced the quality of our product, but moved our fleet delivery dates closer."

Founded in 2015 by Robert Bollinger, Bollinger Motors is a U.S.-based company, headquartered in Oak Park, Michigan. Bollinger Motors will manufacture all-electric platforms and chassis cabs for commercial vehicles in Classes 4-6.
