News on MULN: Bollinger Motors Collaborations, CARB HVIP Approval, and University Orders
In the rapidly evolving landscape of electric vehicles (EVs), Bollinger Innovations and Mullen Automotive are making significant strides in the commercial market. The latest developments in partnerships, incentives, and university orders related to Bollinger Motors' Class 4 electric trucks and Mullen Automotive's electric vehicles are generating a buzz.
Partnerships and Orders
Bollinger Motors has been delivering its Class 4 electric trucks, such as the B4 Chassis Cab, to various entities. For instance, EnviroCharge, a mobile charging unit converter, has received its first 2025 Bollinger B4 Class 4 electric truck, with more deliveries planned. Global Expert Shipping in Glendale, California, has also purchased a Class 1 EV cargo van (Urban Delivery) for maintenance and transport needs, with additional fleet orders expected. The Lower East Side Ecology Center in New York City has integrated a Bollinger B4 Class 4 truck into its fleet.
Bollinger Innovations has also established a dealer network with over 50 locations across the U.S., ensuring extensive sales and service support.
Incentives
To promote affordability for fleet customers, Bollinger Innovations offers a $7,500 price adjustment on the Mullen ONE (Class 1 EV cargo van) and Mullen THREE (Class 3 EV cab chassis truck) commercial EVs. Commercial customers can further benefit from the federal Inflation Reduction Act incentive of $7,500 if delivery occurs before September 30, 2025.
The Urban Delivery Class 1 van qualifies for up to $7,500 through the ComEd EV Rebate Program in Illinois, which can stack with the federal tax credit for up to $15,000 total savings per vehicle. New York's Truck Voucher Incentive Program (NYTVIP) offers credits ranging from $85,000 to $144,000 for Class 4 trucks, creating exceptional affordability for commercial EV buyers in the state when combined with the federal tax credit.
University/Commercial Education Orders
While specific university orders have not been disclosed, prominent environmental and commercial entities like The Lower East Side Ecology Center have integrated Bollinger B4 trucks into their fleets, demonstrating institutional interest in commercial EV adoption.
Branding Updates
Following Mullen Automotive’s rebranding to Bollinger Innovations in July 2025, the Mullen ONE and Mullen THREE models will be rebranded as Bollinger Motors vehicles starting with the 2026 model year.
Future Product Plans
Bollinger Innovations plans to expand its commercial lineup with a Class 5 electric truck targeted for the 2027 model year.
In summary, Bollinger Innovations is actively expanding its commercial EV product lineup through partnerships with organizations like EnviroCharge and Global Expert Shipping, supporting fleet electrification with significant price reductions and stacking state and federal incentives. The rebranding of Mullen vehicles under Bollinger unifies the commercial electric vehicle offering further. Key incentives include federal tax credits, state rebates (notably Illinois and New York), and dealer support networks facilitating broad commercial adoption.
In the realm of fleet management within the industry, Bollinger Innovations is leveraging technology and partnerships to promote its Class 4 electric trucks, such as the B4 Chassis Cab, to various entities, including EnviroCharge and Global Expert Shipping. Simultaneously, the company is focusing on finance, offering affordability to fleet customers through incentives like the federal Inflation Reduction Act and state programs like New York's Truck Voucher Incentive Program.
As the energy landscape evolves, Bollinger Innovations continues to expand its commercial lineup, including plans for a Class 5 electric truck in the future. This strategic approach combines industry, finance, energy, technology, and education to create a strong foundation for commercial electric vehicle adoption, as demonstrated by partnerships, incentives, and university orders.
