This is exactly what I wanted to have in an electric vehicle. Awesome job! I hope you guys continue to make vintage looking vehicles without screens, bells, and whistles.
Heck yeah. ;)
You guys are for sure on to something here! I love the truck you've built and would hope to one day own one!
So excited for you all at Bollinger. You have created something really special. Rooting for you all the way!
I am looking forward to some cracking performance videos! Thumbs up for the aesthetics!
Us too!
A truck is a Tool, not a fashion statement. It's like a good power saw that does its job safely and comfortably with such ease that it gives you confidence.
All the trucks on the market today are made for Rhinestone Cowboys. They are far too fragile to do real work without damage or go truly off-road.
I've been waiting for this truck (or rather the B2) since 1997. I can't wait to get one.
It's just brilliant.
Thanks for sharing, very inspiring to see vision and common sense come together with passion. Looking forward to see the b1 in EUROPE.
Thanks Nick!
Three THUMBS up to the Bollinger Team. I'm psyched!
Thanks!
Cars and cities don't mix well, you got that!
You guys have my full support 110% have been nuts about this from the beginning!
I Love it .....adventure all weekend.... And Drive to work on Monday 😀 looking forward to Friday and the next adventure 👍
#SofaKingDope! I can't wait to see them on the road but nor importantly off the road! Congratulations. Such a great overall design and aesthetic throughout!
I started my own business and I want to own one of those when it goes out.
Yes!!
Wish you the best guys! Amazing truck
I wish you all the best and hope you'll pull it off. I would love to have the truck sitting in my driveway, and would purchase it over a gas engine any day. Cheers.
Thanks so much. Comments like yours keep us going!
Me parece un vehiculo práctico, robusto y cuidadosamente diseñado.
Sigue el estilo clásico de un TT sin perder el tiempo en diseños similares a otras marcas.
Me encantaría poder adquirir uno para España, pero desconozco el precio de salida.
Muy buen trabajo!!!!
Un esfuerzo de equipo ha dado un resultado excelente!!
¡¡Muchas gracias!!
Definitivamente estamos planeando exportar nuestro camión, pero aún no tenemos un calendario firme.
Esperamos anunciar los precios minoristas pronto y esperamos comenzar la producción a finales de 2019. ¡Todavía hay mucho trabajo por hacer!
Looks a lot like the 1976 South African built Chev Nomad.
CANNOT WAIT TILL THIS CAR COMES OUT!!! I’ll be in college by then😂
I'm afraid I could be in a rest home! Get these built, at a reasonable price, soon! 👍
bollinger did you guys announce a manufacturer yet? Cummins would be sweet. i know they have been working really hard on electric powertrains the last couple years. after all, what would be more reliable than a Cummins electric motor?
We haven't chosen a plant yet. Still a few details to shake out. We’ll have pricing dialed in by mid 2019, production starting in 2020!
Aluminum rims are awful for off roading
HMMWV owner here. I loved this presentation. Loving the pragmatism and pure function-based design. I want one. rough price estimate?
Thank you!! Still a few details to shake out. We’ll have pricing dialed in by mid 2019, production starting late 2019, trucks rolling out 2020!

I really love this vehicle! I would love to purchase one as soon as I am economically able. One thing that really bothers me (not a deal breaker) is that the "frunk" hatch/where the grill would be on a combustion vehicle, looks out of place. I think that if I bought a bollinger I would modify that part to make it look more like a grill.
well done guys....
I love my 03 Jeep Rubicon, but this is the future, in general, and for off-roading. Jeep needs to get on board or they will lose to innovators like Bollinger.
Nice work, gents!
Do the doors come off? If so, I’ll look no further!!!!!!
I absolutely love this vehicle. Love the Portals!
I've owned 2 Landrover 90s and one Landrover 110, 4 classic range rovers and a G wagon so this is right up my street.
I'm a solid axle type but I like independent suspensions with long travel.
The problem with really long travel independent suspension is that when the suspension compresses the ground clearance under the center of the vehicle vanishes, whereas with solid axles the lowest points under the diffs remain relatively constant.
Any chance of a long travel solid portal axle version?
Thanks for the love! Since we're starting of with double the ground clearance than Jeeps and most SUVs and trucks on the road, we still have more ground clearance with compression than those vehicles started out with. And with our dual motor set up to avoid a transfer case, which would erase a lot of ground clearance, we can't do a solid axle. There are half axles coming right off the gearbox.
Boa tarde congrats 2021 Robert Bollinger amigos Cj winesar, Luc pham, Ross Compton, Dan aliberti, Ken willer, Ben krom, Chris Robinson, karl hacken, John Hutchison bonito carro Bollinger B1 reveal- the ALL - electric off - road beast vai amém BOM 👌💪
"when can we have these" lol yup
Still a few details to shake out. We’ll have pricing dialed in by mid 2019, production starting in 2020, and trucks rolling out soon after that!
Y’all ever gonna build this thing?
Enjoy nature
Please make more than a few thousand. This could replace the Ford and Dodge trucks you see everywhere.
Make it something the working man can afford is key. That is your target market after all. Hopefully someone sees the market potential and helps you manufacture a lot of them.
Our goal is to get to a decent number so we can get the benefits of scale. The first year will probably not be the case, but we'll start somewhere and then grow hopefully. Thanks for the encouragement.
i dont like ev cars, but dam guys you stole my heart with the b2
Use quick connections on all electric conponets.
When are there's expected to go on sale.
Still a few details to shake out. We’ll have pricing dialed in by mid 2019, production starting in 2020, and trucks rolling out soon after that!
3:55 dog, whom does he belong to? what's his name please? you guys make the great vehicle!
Thank you!! It's Paco, the shop dog!
take my money
Is there a reason why you guys have not taken Tesla up on their offer of using their technology for your vehicle instead of trying to reinvent the wheel so to speak?
Necesito uno desesperadamente
So, that's the easy / fun bit done, now comes the hard, tedious and usually financially ruinous part where you try to get to production with it. Usually where you find all those 'amazing' engineering ideas are, well, not perhaps that fantastic for production............ Even at low volumes this is going be an expensive truck to build..........
Please please please please put a fifth wheel hitch in the the truck 🙏
Yeah but.......the world doesn’t need anymore $90,000 + electric vehicles ! What’s this gonna cost ?
Happy birthday trabalho homem Bollinger motors filho do homem, fala aos filho do teu povo, e dize - lhes quando eu fizer vir a espada sobre a terra, e o povo da terra tomar um homem dos seus termos, e o constituir por seu atalaia
Was super interested until I realized it's in that outlandish price range where only the exorbitantly wealthy could afford.
LMFAO Electric
This was your best presentation so far. Educational and inspirational. Your product will turn the off-road business upside down. Best of luck to you!
True offgrid ...charge your truck with solar power. Forget fighting for gas in a crisis and just go and get to safety. Awesome.
You're inspirational!
As a student of engineering and future interested on 4x4 vehicles (loving off road activities) I'm so interested on your project! Will follow it closely, maybe in some years I'm getting one.
Cheers from Spain, guys. I'm subscribed, by the way ;)
This is frikkin awsome. I grew up on a farm with the old landrovers. This looks like the true modern day successor. Simple and easy enough to pop rivet your own cup holder in!
It's gonna be more than a few thousands...
I was going to say the same
As a Tesla owner, I have to say I love this truck. I love the absolute practicality of its design. I love the enhancements they provide due to the EV nature of it, such as that passthrough. What a terrific idea! I also love the dash - how it's basically begging for additional customer provided controls, knobs & switches. I just hope that it comes out at a reasonably affordable price.
This! This is the way that the things should be done. Congrats to the Bollinger team and the hard work that it was put in.
Thanks Mario.
Awesome! Very inspiring!
Benefits of an electric truck without the complexity and cost of auto pilot, supercomputer, fancy panoramic glass, fancy doors that swing upwards. wish tesla would do this so they can produce an car not just for the rich.
Bollinger B1s will probably cost the same as Teslas though.
Getting to a scale of production that’s as big - and hence as cheap - as the mass market car is hard and requires a lot of knowhow and production capacity. Tesla’s been able to get the Model 3 down to where it is because of the lessons and assets they’ve acquired from building the Roadster ($$$$), and then the Model S & X ($$$). The Model 3 ($$) starts at $35K before any tax incentives.
Tesla’s just making cars that are meant to compete with other typical luxury cars.
M House I like what you did there very clever.
Yes, we hope to get to a point of capacity where we can start to enjoy the benefits of scale, but that will be some time away. At first our trucks will have to be more expensive. But we're working hard to get the truck done right!
I just wish the mainstream manufacturers (Honda, Toyota) would produce some good, basic electric cars without all of the autonomous BS.
Great video, keep up the good work. Having built my own Jeep and being a mechanical design engineer, this video was most interesting. I hope you get the support you need and look forward to one day buying one. Very cool guys, good luck.
Guys u guys are amazing. Takind suv's of actual next generation level. Heads off to u guys
Thanks Tayil!!!
for some reason I remembered the beginnings of Harley Davidson
...and the design, its perfect !
Holy cats! This is perfect! When will they be affordable for the unwashed masses?
I'm looking forward to owning one in the near future. Great ideas put together in this truck, represents what I always wanted.
Congrats from Portugal nice video beutefoul 4×4 great idea
loved it but too expensive!
The Henry Fords of the 21st century ! Best of Aussie luck to you all on the team.
these guys get it! I hope one day I can park one of your projects next to my series/defender land rovers
Now that's an electric vehicle I'd buy bc I could use it on the farm or drive to town
Nice!!
Team of Rock Stars !!!
Love it!
Now with 200 mile MINIMUM range? This is good news.
This is everything I want I think it's perfect I love it.
Thank you!!
My first car was an 84 Ford Bronco II. This brings back lots of memories. I want one!!
I hope Land Rover is watching you Bollinger Motors is a future. I think Mauris Wilks would approve simple strong and go anywhere 🌍💚😊👏👍 Join us #ChangeWednesday #ConscienceLand #nonprofitleadership #buzzofftoxic
Im only 17, but I will buy a b1 someday. The simplicity of your vehicles is amazing. Other companies try to make their cars to futuristic. The square body is never going out of style it is awesome. Well done
Already reserved mine!
I love everything about this, (esp getting away from 'connectivity' and tacky 'futuristic' designs). Start saving now, I guess.
Please come to Australia.
We are engineering the B1 for Australian regulations and will make a RHD version down the road.
good luck!
Robert Bolinger interesting man 🌏😁👍💚🤔👌#buzzofftoxic #Tiedamew #StopBuringStuff
Super. Bravo
Now I know why it looks like a Defender
Can't wait! Hey are you open to onsite visits from the public? I'm not that far away and would love to take a road trip and see this first hand.
Christopher Watson Same here!!!!
Heck I’d make the trip from Idaho!
Usually we are, but the truck will be gone for most of the year for testing so we're holding off on visits for now.
There was a tremendous amount of detail that went into creating this first prototype and it shows. Quality wise, this thing looks like it blows regular production cars out of the water, thick aluminum and rivets everywhere. But, will this truck be able to be produced on a mass scale that is cost effective without decreasing the quality of the truck?
We hear you and we're doing our best. Still a few details to shake out. We’ll have pricing dialed in by mid 2019, production starting late 2019, trucks rolling out 2020.
It will and it is! Still a few details to shake out. We’ll have pricing dialed in by mid 2019, production starting in 2020, and trucks rolling out soon after that!
I LOVE this. I need a basic truck like this. When will we get a price range?
We'll be making an announcement soon
First time ever I had searched for career opportunities at any company is Bollinger...... inspirational and educational
😍😍😍😍
I'm driving an old G wagon from 1997 and I love it but I hate the new G-class. It's no longer an offroad-machine, it's just a caferacer. I always hoped, that Mercedes will build a very basic electric G wagon for those like me who love to play, who love to "take the shortcut" or just enjoy the mud and dirt... Mercedes didn't. Land Rover also didn't build it. Jeep? Mmmmhhh... not really. BUT you guys, you did it! You build the car I'm dreaming of and I was searching for. It will not replace my G wagon one day but I'm pretty sure a Bollinger B1 will join my "car family". Not only as a car, as another 4-wheel-pet ;-)!
I love it
Love it!
Bollinger B1.. carro lindo.. elétrico.. clean !!!! parabéns ao grupo de engenharia da Bollinger.. fantástico !!! isso poderia vender muito aqui no Brasil.. Que Deus abençoe todos vocês por ajudar a tornar nosso planeta muito melhor e sem poluição !!!
RogerFS/Eng Automation&Control
Awesome video thanks for sharing
Can I be the one to really test it? :D I live in a remote mountain area which is accessible only with 4x4. I would gladly use it for my daily activities. This car seems to be everything I wanted in design and performances :)
Thanks so much Mr. Brain. Haha. We are well into testing and jamming on getting B1's made by late 2019!
I live in Romania's mountains. This vehicle would be like UFO for the locals :))
"Mr. Brain" :))) that's funny
We would love that reputation!!
Why not present the video in color?
That's what everyone else does... ;)
$125k?
No.
Nice video, guys!
sweeeeeeeet
I was just thinking of a car my boss has (a 1996 NZ built 4x4 (only 18 made)) and another NZ built vehicle (the Trekka), both look similar in shape and design to your vehicle but smaller than the B1, my boss' vehicle used running gear and interior parts scrounged from a mid-late 80's subaru leone 1800cc 4wd, the trekka used skoda running gear, loved by farmers since they were simple to work on, take a look and see what you think, kind regards, kieron
Is this going to have AC? This looks like an amazing truck but AC is a deal breaker for me here in south Texas.
Edit: Saw the answer to my AC question on somebody else's comment, this is going to be an amazing truck. If its under 100k, I will be a buyer of the B2 for sure. Go Bollinger!
Looks like a very interesting machine for sure! Purely from a design perspective though, I think the vehicle would look aesthetically a lot better if it was slightly narrower. I wonder how it will look on smaller European roads.
I want one. It is what I think a 4WD vehicle should be. Basic no-nonsense and something that is not flashy. If it gets scratched up who cares,it does't have a three tome glittery paint job, no leather seats etc inside. Great machine.
congrat Bollinger electric truck...but is it safe to drive it at high altitude with lightning striking in a storm.specially lightning or near high voltage grid
Sarawak ..Malaysia
I love it! I really do, however, they are a little cost prohibitive to the clientele that this claims to reach. Aside from that, the basic, down-to-earth approach is a definite breath of fresh air in this techno-cluttered market.
This is an excellent project. Some of us just like to drive....without all the techno bull crap. It would also be nice to do basic repairs on my Electric SUV. My be Jeep or Rover will someday get a clue about electric SUVs. Till then Bolinger will be the only option out there for those that can afford it.
So much room for hydrogen-tanks and fuelcell wasted. We will order some vehicles to show, how the range can be extended massively
It's kept simple with nothing fancy and it's nice,it looks like the love child of a 1st gen bronco and a land rover and it's pretty bitchin'
Hopefully the insurance won't be too expensive for the average consumer. I will be purchasing one of these.
