Bollinger Motors, creators of about the only electric vehicle of which we approve, has released a build video introducing the creative minds behind the all-electric off-roader.

In the film, each Bollinger Motors team member describes their contributions making the prototype truck. They also outline the process of creating a proof-of-concept prototype from CAD diagrams to actual CNC-produced parts. Many companies keep this kind of detail behind closed doors, so it’s neat to get this level of insight into the Bollinger’s development.

“The B1 really came out of a sudden brainstorm to combine into one truck all the things I needed for use on my farm,” comments Bollinger Motors Founder Robert Bollinger. “Unfortunately, the light-duty truck hasn’t really evolved much in the last century; I found myself really wanting one all-purpose vehicle that could perform daily farm duties, remote construction projects, exploring off-road, and more. The underlying concept behind the B1 was make the truck incredibly capable and strong.”

This author will dispute Mr. Bollinger’s assertion that the light-duty truck hasn’t evolved much in the last century and will point to the differences between a 1919 Chevy truck making 24 horsepower and the 2019 Silverado High Country as evidence. The Bollinger B1 is, however, packed with innovation as a 100% all-electric off-roader featuring a 200-mile range that can also be used as a remote power source.

The Bollinger B1 features an all-aluminum chassis and body with a dual-motor electric powertrain mated to a 120-kWh battery pack providing a minimum 200-mile range. The 5000-pound truck is listed as having an impressive payload capacity of 5000 pounds.

All-wheel drive, 50/50 weight distribution, and 15inches of ground clearance. A unique feature of the Bollinger is its innovative carrying capacity, able to handle upwards of 72 sheets of ½-inch drywall or 24 2×4 pieces of lumber thanks to a super-cool 12-foot space between closed front and rear lift gates.

Don’t adjust your sets – the video is rendered in black and white for art reasons. Additionally, it’s supposed to represent the fact that the B1 is a minimalist design, distilled down to only the essential off-roading ingredients. It was a 20-month-long process from conceiving a new vehicle to creating a prototype and eventually revealing that truck for the first time to the public.
