The 2025 Bollinger B4 Chassis Cab is an all-new, all-electric Class 4 commercial truck designed from the ground up with extensive fleet and upfitter input. Bollinger's unique chassis design protects the 158-kilowatt-hour battery pack and components to offer unparalleled capability and safety in the commercial market.

"We applaud the states in the Northeast who are working hard to create more sustainable transportation options," said Jim Connelly, chief revenue officer for Bollinger Motors. "The commercial fleet market is primed for electrification, and the incentives available in the Northeast will accelerate the adoption of this important technology."

In addition to state incentives, the Bollinger B4 Chassis Cab has qualified for federal clean vehicle tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act ("IRA") of $40,000 per vehicle. The state incentives coupled with the IRA can offer Bollinger Motors Northeast customers between $70,000 and $140,000 in incentives.

"The financial incentives combined with the versatility of the class-4 B4 to perform a variety of duty cycles creates incredible value for our customers," Connelly said. "The B4 is a world-class, highly engineered vehicle that is capable and durable. It is well suited for urban driving. It will be an important part of many commercial fleets moving forward."

Bollinger Motors has passed numerous milestones in the past several months, including:

  • Its production launch on Sept. 16;
  • Regulatory achievements including FMVSS compliance, receiving the Certificate of Conformity from the Environmental Protection Agency, and CARB certification;
