Bollinger Motors taps Amerit Fleet Solutions for mobile service and maintenance
Bollinger Motors, an electric commercial vehicle manufacturer, recently entered into an agreement with Amerit Fleet Solutions, a provider of customized fleet maintenance and repair programs. Amerit will provide Bollinger's commercial fleet customers with mobile maintenance and service.
Under the terms of the agreement, the two companies will jointly provide EV service and warranty support for the Bollinger B4 in key states allowed by law as well as future vehicles developed by Bollinger Motors.
The Bollinger B4 chassis cab is an all-new, all-electric Class 4 commercial truck designed with fleet and upfitter input. Bollinger’s chassis design protects the 158 kWh battery pack and other components to provide both capability and safety in the commercial market. The company anticipates deliveries of the Bollinger B4 to begin in the second half of 2024.
“With Amerit, Bollinger can now offer the best nationwide coverage for electrified fleets,” said Robert Bollinger, founder and CEO of Bollinger Motors. “Our customers can have total confidence in our trucks, knowing we have a complete sales, service, and warranty network across America.”
Amerit will provide strategic, nationwide service locations aligned with Bollinger’s launch plan. As part of Bollinger's training curriculum for the B4 chassis cab and other future vehicles, Amerit service technicians will complete an extensive safety training program.
