The world of electric trucks just got a lot more interesting with the introduction of Bollinger Motors’ all-in-one pickup and SUV.
Bollinger, which pushed to design an all-new off-road electric vehicle from the ground up, allows owners to transform the B1 from an SUV to a half-cab truck thanks to reconfigurable body panels (see video below).
New York-based Bollinger is marketing the B1 as a back-to-basics utilitarian sports utility truck, or SUT. The motivation to create the all-wheel-drive truck came from CEO and designer Robert Bollinger who while working on his farm three years ago during a tough winter became disappointed with his pickup.
“Three winters ago was when we had that really bad one up here. Pipes were freezing and all that kind of stuff. That’s when our Chevy with the plow on it and the huge, round bale on the back for traction got stuck three times,” Bollinger explains in a video that his company posted on its website.
