DETROIT, March 12, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Bollinger Motors has unveiled its patent-pending E-Chassis. The patent-pending E-Chassis is the world's first and only Class 3 electric platform – and it was designed with commercial applications and versatility in mind.

"When we first built our Class 3 B1, we knew there was a commercial aspect to the platform," says CEO Robert Bollinger. "Not only cab-on-chassis, but entirely new truck bodies can fit on our E-Chassis, and help propel the world to all-electric that much faster."
