Insights

The delivery of 25 B4 trucks generating $4.1 million in sales represents a modest but important milestone for Mullen's subsidiary Bollinger Motors. With an average price of $164,000 per vehicle, the B4 positions itself in the premium commercial EV segment. The establishment of a nationwide dealer network and key partnerships with industry players like Roush Industries and Our Next Energy demonstrates a structured approach to market penetration. However, with Mullen's current market cap of just $15 million, these initial sales, while positive, will need to scale significantly to justify the investment in production infrastructure and impact the company's overall financial position. The successful regulatory compliance and warranty structure provide a foundation for potential fleet sales, but sustained growth will be crucial.

The commercial EV truck segment presents a significant opportunity, particularly in the Class 4 category where the B4 operates. The initial sales momentum, averaging about 8 vehicles per month, suggests market acceptance but also highlights the gradual nature of commercial EV adoption. The strategic establishment of partnerships with major truck dealers like TEC Equipment and Nacarato Truck Centers provides important market access. The B4's specifications, including a 7,300 pound payload and 185-mile range, are competitive for urban and regional delivery applications. The comprehensive service network through Amerit Fleet Solutions addresses a critical concern for fleet operators, potentially accelerating adoption rates in 2025.

25 B4s delivered and paid for since start of production

BREA, Calif., Dec. 12, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via IBN -- Mullen Automotive, Inc. (NASDAQ: MULN) (“Mullen” or the “Company”), an electric vehicle (“EV”) manufacturer, announces today that its subsidiary, Bollinger Motors (“Bollinger”), has delivered its first 25 B4 trucks, with a retail sales value of approximately $4.1 million during the nearly three months since the company’s September start of production. The company credited the strong sales start to the vehicle’s design and functionality, combined with its strong nationwide dealer network.

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-kWh battery pack and components to offer unparalleled capability and safety in the commercial market.

Bollinger Motors began serial production of the B4 on Sept. 16 via its manufacturing partnership with Roush Industries at their facility in Livonia, Michigan.

“It is gratifying to see the Bollinger B4 rolling off the line, onto dealer lots and into customer fleets,” said Jim Connelly, chief revenue officer for Bollinger Motors. “This vehicle has been designed and engineered to provide fleet owners with an economical, sustainable transportation option capable of providing a wide variety of vehicle use cases. Initial customer reaction has been positive, and we have built strong momentum as we head into 2025, with a growing number of significant orders in-process.”

Connelly credited the Bollinger Motors’ nationwide dealer sales and service network for helping the company get out of the gate quickly. During 2024, Bollinger Motors has announced agreements with some of the industry’s top commercial vehicle dealers, including Anderson Motors, TEC Equipment, Nacarato Truck Centers, Bergey’s Truck Centers, Broadway Ford Truck Center, and Affinity Truck Center.
