Michigan-based EV start up Bollinger, which has garnered interest worldwide in recent years with its plans to launch a range of rugged, hardcore electric 4x4s, is postponing passenger car development to focus on commercial vehicles.
The firm showed its straight-edged B1 SUV and B2 pick-up truck at the 2019 Los Angeles motor show in near-production-ready form, even going so far as to announce pricing details and confirm plans to ship them to the UK and Europe.

The two Bollingers are put on ice because they look like blocks of ice.
A very strange decision to pull the B1/2 after taking so many orders,I was surprised that the company hadn't got it's production facilities sorted out over two years after the announcement of the cars at the Los Angeles motor show.It's difficult to see how focusing on the HGV market segment will change this situation as the established truck manufacturers certainly have their own designs in the pipeline and the facilities to produce the vehicles with the service back up to keep the truck's rolling.
It'll be interesting to see how Bollinger pans out.
Makes me wonder if they're a fully legitimate outfit, or a money magnet that's not actually going to achieve anything. Why would they abandon something that's this developed, in preference of starting a new project? I know there are statements/claims in the article, but how truthful is it all?
