We look forward to working with them to build the Bollinger Motors presence in several markets.”
B4 Qualifies for Government Incentives
The 2025 Bollinger B4 Chassis Cab is qualified for federal clean vehicle tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act of $40,000 per vehicle. Additional state incentives can push total savings to in excess of $100,000, Bolinger pointed out.
