It’s the end of the road for U.S.-based truckmaker Bollinger

According to Electrive, "the Michigan Department of Labour has 59 outstanding claims against Bollinger for unpaid wages". The website quotes The Detroit Free Press as the source of the piece of news. In the last few days, "Bollinger has apparently given up: according to emails from Bollinger’s head of human resources, Helen Watson, which were reviewed by the Detroit Free Press, the company’s last day of business was 21 November".

U.S.-based electric truck manufacturer Bollinger Motors has allegedly ended its activities. The company had been in trouble for quite a long time, due to lack of cash and weak market demand. We saw the latest Bollinger Motors electric truck models at the last edition of ACT Expo, earlier this year in Anaheim.

In the last months, parent company Mullen Automotive has announced the acquisition of a significant amount of shares belonging to Bollinger. At the same time, Mullen Automotive’s CEO, David Michery, took over as Bollinger CEO, as well. Robert Bollinger, the company’s founder, had already left the company.

Bollinger Motors: the current situation

Now, according to Electrive, “the Michigan Department of Labour has 59 outstanding claims against Bollinger for unpaid wages”. The website quotes The Detroit Free Press as the source of the piece of news. In the last few days, “Bollinger has apparently given up: according to emails from Bollinger’s head of human resources, Helen Watson, which were reviewed by the Detroit Free Press, the company’s last day of business was 21 November”, wrote Electrive.

Additionally, the company seems to have “59 claims of unpaid wages open with the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity, which the company has clearly not been able to catch up to”.
