Effective June 18, 2024, Mullen Subsidiary, Bollinger Motors, Receives EPA Certification for Class 4 EV Commercial Trucks

EPA certification is a critical milestone to sell vehicles to customers

Bollinger’s B4, Class 4 EV chassis cab to begin rolling off production line in second half of 2024

BREA, Calif., June 24, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via IBN – Mullen Automotive Inc. (NASDAQ: MULN), an electric vehicle (“EV”) manufacturer, today announces its subsidiary, Bollinger Motors, has received its Certificate of Conformity from the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) for its Class 4 B4 Chassis Cab. The Certificate of Conformity attainment is another important milestone for Bollinger Motors as it moves closer to delivering initial vehicles to customers.   

Bollinger Motors plans to launch the Bollinger B4 Chassis Cab in the second half of 2024. The Certificate of Conformity certifies that the Bollinger B4 conforms to EPA emissions requirements. While the Bollinger B4 is an all-electric, zero-emissions vehicle, the certification is still an important requirement for any manufacturer to begin selling vehicles in the United States. A copy of Bollinger’s Class 4 EPA certification can be found here

“This is a huge step for us in becoming the leader in all-electric, commercial trucks,” said Robert Bollinger, founder and CEO of Bollinger Motors. “We are proud that the Bollinger B4 is engineered and assembled right here in Michigan with 70% American-made content.”

The Bollinger B4 Chassis Cab is an all-new, battery-electric, zero-emissions Class 4 commercial truck designed from the ground up with extensive fleet and upfitter input. Bollinger’s unique chassis design protects the 800-volt battery and components to offer unparalleled safety, flexibility and performance in the commercial market. Bollinger Motors recently qualified for federal clean vehicle purchasing incentives under the Inflation Reduction Act, which provides $40,000 in refundable tax credits per truck.

Today's announcement follows a series of Bollinger Motors’ milestones in recent months, including: an 80-vehicle sale to Momentum Groups; a 50-vehicle sale to EnviroCharge; the addition of Nacarato Truck Centers, Nuss Truck & Equipment, and LaFontaine Auto Group as dealers and service centers; Our Next Energy in Novi, Michigan, to supply battery packs; Roush Industries in Livonia, Michigan, to manage vehicle assembly operations; Syncron as its warranty administration partner; and Amerit Fleet Solutions as its mobile service provider.
