Bollinger expanding planned EV lineup with the Deliver-E commercial van

Class-3 EV startup Bollinger Motors has announced an addition to its future lineup of vehicles - a delivery truck. The cleverly named Deliver-E concept is an all-electric, front-wheel-drive (FWD) medium-duty van that will employ many of the same components used in the company's other EVs, but based on an entirely new high-strength-steel (HSS) platform engineered from the ground up for the delivery market. The Deliver-E is targeting classes 2B, 3, 4, and 5 (GVWR 8,501-19,500 lb), with U.S. production slated for 2022.

According to Bollinger, the Deliver-E will be available in multiple lengths/wheelbases, offer independent front and rear suspension and the lowest step-in height in the industry, at just 18 in (46 cm). The new van is expected to provide multiple battery-pack options (70, 105, 140, 175, and 210 kWh), with up to 100-kW DC fast charging via universal charge ports. Bollinger claims that within each class, the Deliver-E will feature a total cost of ownership (TCO) significantly lower than currently available gasoline and diesel options.
