Bollinger Motors continues to have a reason to celebrate in the final business quarter of 2024. The Michigan-based OEM has confirmed its first customer delivery of five examples of the 2025 B4 Chassis Cab to Nacarato Truck Centers at the latter's LaVergne, Tennessee facility, bringing in revenue of nearly $800,000. 

“This is another special day for Bollinger Motors as we continue our journey to become an electrification leader in the commercial fleet market,” said Jim Connelly, chief revenue officer for Bollinger Motors. “Our nationwide dealership network is one of our core strengths and with partners like Nacarato Truck Centers, our customers’ sales and service needs are in good hands. We are excited to see the B4 going to work on the streets of the Nashville area, and across the country.”

Nacarato Truck Centers confirms plans to sell four of its B4s to commercial fleet customers and will keep one for internal parts deliveries between its 13 locations in throughout the East, Southeast, and Midwest regions. 

“Nacarato Truck Centers is thrilled to be the first dealership in the nation to receive Bollinger B4 all-electric trucks,” said Sawyer Sparks, Bollinger sales and brand manager for Nacarato Trucks. “This is a monumental moment not just for our company, but for the advancement of Tennessee clean fuels, as well.”

The pure battery-electric Bollinger B4 Chassis Cab has an MSRP of $158,758. The OEM qualified for the Inflation Reduction Act's clean vehicle tax credits of $40,000 per vehicle. Additionally, the B4 has qualified for the California Air Resources Board's (CARB) certification and FMVSS compliance, receiving the Certificate of Conformity from the Environmental Protection Agency.
