Bollinger Motors has officially emerged from receivership after parent company Mullen Automotive settled a lawsuit filed by Bollinger founder Robert Bollinger.
As part of the settlement, Mullen increased its ownership stake in Bollinger to 95% and appointed its chief executive, David Michery, to also serve as CEO and chairman of Bollinger Motors, according to release today. During receivership, Bollinger Motors maintained sales and service of its all-electric B4 Class 4 commercial trucks, while a court-appointed receiver oversaw financial operations.
Now operating again under Mullen’s control, the company plans to continue expanding its EV offerings, including development of the B5 Class 5 electric truck, according to the release. Bollinger expects to launch the B5 Class 5 electric truck in 2026.
Bollinger’s B4 Chassis Cab, designed with input from fleets and upfitters, features a 158-kWh battery and is available through a national dealership network, according to the release. The company supports over 50 U.S. dealer and service locations.
Founded in 2015, Bollinger became majority-owned by Mullen in 2022, according to the release. Mullen Automotive, based in California, operates EV manufacturing plants in Mississippi and Indiana and has a growing commercial EV dealer network across key U.S. markets.
