Mullen Automotive recently announced the consolidation of Mullen and Bollinger Motors operations. As a result, the company is updating its name to Bollinger Innovations and expects to update its NASDAQ ticker symbol prior to August 15, 2025.
Since January 2025, the Company has eliminated 155 positions and reduced overall operating expenses by a minimum of $35 million annually.
Consolidation includes moving commercial vehicle operations to Oak Park, Michigan, and merging Mullen and Bollinger sales, marketing and service operations under the unified Bollinger brand. This companywide consolidation eliminates redundancy while continuing focus on Class 1, 3 and 4 Commercial vehicle segments.
“After the consolidation, we are laser focused and confident we will drive our products into the market while being fiscally responsible under one unified brand,” said Jim Connelly, chief revenue officer of Bollinger Motors and now Mullen.
“The consolidation of Mullen and Bollinger brands and operations provides the company with significant savings in marketing, sales, engineering and operational expenses,” said Jonathon New, chief operating officer for Mullen Automotive.
David Michery, chairman and chief executive officer of Mullen Automotive, continue in the same role.
Mullen’s commercial EV lineup includes the Mullen One, Class 1 EV cargo van, and the Mullen Three, Class 3 EV cab chassis truck for urban last-mile delivery. Both vehicles are available for sale and in full compliance with U.S. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the California Air Resources Board (“CARB”) certifications denoting strict adherence to clean air emissions standards.
The Bollinger B4 Chassis Cab is an all-electric Class 4 commercial truck with a 158-kWh battery pack. The truck has an estimated 185-mile range, 46-foot turning radius and a payload of 7,325 pounds.
