All-electric SUV unveiled by Bollinger
Bollinger Motors has revealed the all-electric B1 sport utility truck. Created from a clean sheet using a lightweight aluminum architecture, the Bollinger B1 is innovating the truck category by building the world's first fully working prototype of an all-electric sport utility truck.
The B1 is painted in a special “Gunhouse” Grey, which is a nod to the road where the development work was completed, with black accents and a black satin wheel finish to complete the exterior appearance. The vehicle incorporates a rugged, heavyduty truck design with a classic, three-box look that will resonate with contemporary and traditional off-road vehicle enthusiasts.
At an overall length of 150 (in), a width of 76.5 (in) and a height 73.5 (in) the B1 has an impressive stance and a perfect 50/50 weight balance front to back and side to side.
The dual-motor powertrain provides full-time allwheel drive, with best in class horsepower, torque and ground clearance distinguishing it from every other truck currently on the market.
The base ride height provides for 15.5 inches of ground clearance but will be adjustable using a self-leveling, four-wheel independent, hydro-pneumatic suspension within the 10 inches of wheel travel.
While the Bollinger B1 sports serious off-roading credentials, the vehicle also has impressive performance statistics generating 360 hp and a massive 472 lb/ft of torque.
And with the instant torque provided courtesy of the electric drivetrain, the B1 has a noteworthy 0-60 time of just 4.5 seconds and a top speed of 127 miles per hour.
The B1 weighs in at just 3,900 lb giving it a 10.8 power to weight ratio. With a payload capacity of 6,100 lb, the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) checks in at just over 10,001 lb.
The B1 employs a dual-motor powertrain configuration using front- and rear- mounted synchronous electric motors driving all four wheels, delivering up to 270 kW (360 hp) power. The production B1 will offer two lithium ion battery pack options - 60 kWh or 100 kWh, producing either 120 miles or 200 miles in range.
