Bollinger B2 Would Have Featured An All-wheel Drive System Made Possible By Two Electric Motors
The all-electric Bollinger B2 looks primitive but had it reached production, it could have put traditional pickup trucks on notice as a result of its impressive capacities and incredible versatility. The B2 pickup was essentially a stretched version of the upstart brand's B1 SUV with a cargo bed out back. Unfortunately, in January 2022 Bollinger announced it had been canceling both the B1 and B2 models to focus on an electric delivery van instead. Bollinger said the B2's dual electric motors could have combined for 614 horsepower and 688 lb-ft of torque, which would help it tow as much as 7500 pounds and carry a payload all the way to 5001 pounds. Its battery supported fast-charging capability and was estimated to supply a driving selection of 200 miles. The B2 also boasted foldable and removable body panels that imitate the Jeep Wrangler and the Jeep Gladiator and unlocked unrivaled flexibility.
Bollinger B2 might have featured an all-wheel drive system made possible by two electric motors, one mounted in front and the other mounted at the rear. Together they generated 614 horsepower and 668 lb-ft of torque; Bollinger claimed they would have propelled the B2 from zero to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds and enabled an estimated top speed of 100 mph. Bollinger also said the pickup truck might have a two-speed transfer case with high and low ranges for added off-road capability. Likewise, the B2 was said to own variable ground clearance that ranges from 10 to 20 inches. The electric pickup also had an estimated maximum tow capacity of 7500 pounds and a maximum payload of 5001 pounds.
2024 Bollinger B2 had said its pickup truck would feature a 120-kWh power supply which was expected to supply an EPA-rated driving selection of 200 miles. The organization claimed the battery could possibly be replenished in 10 hours utilizing a 220-volt outlet, but it had been also compatible with DC fast charging which would have reduced that time and energy to 75 minutes. Although Bollinger estimated that the B2 pickup will earn 70 MPGe, the EPA hadn't announced actual fuel-economy figures.
Versatility triumphed over comfort in the B2 pickup truck. Among the trucks' most defining features was a hollowed-out interior that allowed a product as much as 16 feet long to feed its center. The cabin also had a fold-away rear wall—yes, much like the "Midgate" on the first Chevy Avalanche—that opened it down and extended the 5-foot-9-inch cargo bed by significantly more than two feet. Much like the aforementioned Jeep products, the B2 had removable body panels that included the doors, windows, roof panels, and windshield.
The set of infotainment and connectivity features was short and unremarkable. Along side standard Bluetooth, the B2 was slated to supply six 110-volt outlets and an unspecified audio system. Since the B2 pickup would have been a Class 3 work truck, it bypassed certain government regulations that required airbags and crash testing.
