"The Bollinger B2 Chassis Cab's unique features – including the 5,000-pound payload and large energy source to power tools – make it perfect for businesses, small and large," says CEO Robert Bollinger. "Commercial fleets will be able to reduce their overall cost of operation while buying a truck designed, engineered, and built in the USA. The B2CC is an ideal option for municipalities, parks services, emergency response vehicles, airports, construction, landscaping, electricians, plumbers, security, non-tactical military, and more."

The B2 currently has a price tag of $125,000 suggested retail price. The 614 horsepower truck also features a 7,500-pound towing capacity in addition to its 5,000-pound payload. It features an estimated 200 mile range.
