DETROIT, Sept. 21, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via InvestorWire -- Bollinger Motors, which recently became a majority owned company of Mullen Automotive, Inc. (NASDAQ: MULN), announces today it has teamed up with Wabash, a leading truck body and trailer manufacturer, to develop a stronger, lighter, refrigerated truck body on electric chassis.
Wabash has developed a lightweight composite technology, EcoNex™ Technology, for use in truck bodies and trailers that will seamlessly integrate with Bollinger’s Class 4 electric chassis cab.

Breakthrough improvement in thermal efficiency compared to conventional design
Overall cost savings due to weight savings and thermal efficiency
“Wabash’s EcoNex composite technology reduces the amount of electricity needed to maintain cold temperatures,” said Mark Ehrlich, VP new business development at Wabash. “The all-electric truck we’re developing with Bollinger Motors will be highly efficient with more uptime and less charging compared to conventional construction.”
“I’m excited to help ‘green up’ the journey from farm to table,” said Robert Bollinger, Founder & CEO of Bollinger Motors, who was inspired to start the company while he owned a farm in upstate New York. “We’re confident Wabash’s expertise in commercial transportation, combined with Bollinger’s leadership in Class 4 electrification, will deliver a superior product for customers looking to reduce their carbon footprints.”
