Oak Park, Michigan-based Bollinger Motors has announced the finalization of a new sales agreement with Doering Fleet Management that consists of 70 units of the pure battery-electric B4 Chassis Cab.
“Our agreement with Doering Fleet Management is another important step forward for Bollinger Motors,” said Jim Connelly, chief revenue officer of Bollinger Motors. “Doering is one of the top names in the fleet management world and we are honored to have the Bollinger B4 become an environmentally friendly fleet option for their customers across the country.”
Doering has three decades of experience in the fleet business, specializing in matching customers with the right vehicle for their business needs. This is the first time the company will be offering a medium-duty, all-electric truck.

“The Bollinger B4 is an innovative, world-class electric truck with outstanding performance and capability, and Bollinger Motors shares our commitment to outstanding customer service,” said Adam Berger, president of Doering Fleet Management. “For our customers seeking a medium duty electric truck the Bollinger B4 will be a great option to meet their needs. We look forward to bringing the B4 into our suite of offerings.”
Bollinger recently announced additional B4 sales agreements, such as a 50-unit order for EnviroCharge, and another five with Spencer Manufacturing where they'll serve as emergency response vehicles. Authorized dealers include LaFontaine Motors, Nacarato Truck Centers, and Nuss Truck & Equipment.
Syncron was announced as Bollinger's official warranty provider earlier this year.
In June, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) confirmed that the B4 had received its Certificate of Conformity, meaning it meets all of the government agency's emissions requirements.
The B4 boasts a unique chassis design built from the ground-up that protects the 800V battery and other vital components.
B4 owner-operators can use an AC Level 2 or a DC fast-charger to get a full battery in nine or two hours, respectively. Drivers can reach 195 miles on a single charge. Thanks to a total of 323 horsepower and 675 lb-ft of torque, the B4 offers instant and quiet acceleration. It's officially been rated with a maximum payload of 7,325 lbs. and has a GVWR rating of 15,500 lbs.
