Bollinger Motors, which recently became a majority owned company of Mullen Automotive, Inc., announced Our Next Energy will supply modular, linkable Aries battery packs to power its all-electric commercial platforms and chassis cabs.
“ONE battery packs are ideal for our commercial trucks, giving our customers the range they need,” says Robert Bollinger, founder and CEO of Bollinger Motors. “The fact they’ll be built in the US and in Michigan is a huge advantage for us going forward.”
Bollinger designs its all-electric Class 4 through Class 6 chassis cabs to meet commercial customers’ needs. Customers in this segment often require vehicles that provide large payloads as well as sufficient range, durability, and longevity.
“We are pleased to provide Bollinger commercial vehicles with industry-leading range using our Aries LFP battery platform,” says 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,” says Bryan Chambers, Bollinger Motors COO. “We’ve not only advanced the quality of our product, but moved our fleet delivery dates closer.”
First, Bollinger Motors will launch its Class 4 Chassis Cab, designed to hold one or two battery packs. Then, Class 5 Platforms for walk-in van upfits will follow. Further, the companies expect the availability of the packs by Bollinger’s anticipated start of production in late 2023.
