History

The automotive company Bollinger Motors was founded as a startup in 2014 in New York City by the American entrepreneur Robert Bollinger, taking its name from his name. The aim was to develop a full-size electric off-road vehicle.[1]

The first result of the work of Bollinger's designers was a prototype of a three-door car called the B1, which was presented in June 2017. The car has a characteristic, austere design distinguished by an angular body covered with matte varnish and the possibility of disassembling the rear part of the roof.[2] The market launch of the model was then scheduled for 2019. By August 2017, the manufacturer managed to collect 6,000 orders for the Bollinger B1.[3]

In March 2018, Bollinger decided to move its headquarters from New York City to Ferndale, Michigan.[4] Two years after the presentation of the B1 prototype, in September, Bollinger presented its first two cars ready for production - the production variant of the B1 model underwent cosmetic changes in the exterior and became longer with an additional rear door and a large 4-door B2 pickup.[5]

In April 2020, Bollinger announced that serial production and sales of both B1 and B2 models presented in the fall of the previous year will start in 2021.[6] In August 2020, the company headquarters moved from Ferndale to Oak Park, Michigan.[7]
