EV manufacturer Bollinger Motors is partnering with Amerit Fleet Solutions, a leading provider of customized fleet maintenance and repair programs nationwide, to provide Amerit mobile service and maintenance to Bollinger’s commercial fleet customers.
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 unique chassis design protects the 158 kwh battery pack and components to offer capability and safety in the commercial market. The company anticipates deliveries of the Bollinger B4 to begin in the second half of 2024.
Amerit has agreed to provide maintenance, repair, and warranty services to customer locations outside of the designated service area of a Bollinger authorized dealer. Amerit’s Mobile Service Centers are a complement to Bollinger’s service strategy, providing convenient and essential services on location, minimizing downtime, and maximizing fleet efficiency.
“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, and technicians will complete an extensive safety training program as part of Bollinger’s training curriculum for the B4 Chassis Cab and other future vehicles.
“Bollinger is an innovative EV company serving the commercial fleet market, and we look forward to supporting their customers by offering service programs across the US,” said Amerit’s CEO Dan Williams. “With over 2,500 trained and certified technicians across the country, our customized approach to service programs, and our expertise in providing EV maintenance solutions, we believe that Amerit is ideally suited to rapidly scale services to Bollinger’s B4 customers and vehicle programs in the future.”
The partnership follows a series of Bollinger Motors announcements in recent months, including partnerships with Our Next Energy in Novi, Michigan to supply the company with batteries and related components and Roush Industries in Livonia, Michigan to manage vehicle assembly operations.
Bollinger Motors recently qualified for federal clean vehicle tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act of $40,000 per vehicle for the B4 chassis cab, and the company recently grew their national authorized dealer network by adding Nacarato Truck Centers and Nuss Truck & Equipment to LaFontaine Auto Group.
