Universal platform from Bollinger for electric vehicles for various purposes (7 photos + video)


Last fall, Bollinger Motorspresented the prototypes of the Bollinger B1 crossover and the Bollinger B2 pickup truck, working using an electric motor. Both electric vehicles will be based on the patented E-Chassis base (Class 3). The developers announced that this universal platform is capable of becoming the basis for cars for various purposes.


Bollinger engineers in the near future will be ableuse the E-Chassis base not only for the production of the already announced crossover and pickup, but also for the production of specialized electric vehicles designed to work in the delivery service, for transportation of garbage, in the ambulance and fire service, as well as for transporting passengers.

The basic version of the E-Chassis platform providesoption to supply two engines, one for each axis. This arrangement provides four-wheel drive. Power plants are powered by a 120 kWh battery equipped with an active cooling system (thermal-management system).


It is possible to complete the platformone engine, on any of the axles, with the appropriate drive and battery capacity of 180 kWh. Also, upon request, a platform with the wheelbase length necessary for the client will be delivered. The complete set of the platform module will include all the necessary equipment: independent hydropneumatic suspension, hydraulic control system, brakes with ABS, stabilization system and TRC (Traction Control). As part of the platform’s power module, a 5-15 kW charger is supplied.
Mass production of the E-Chassis platform,electric cars Bollinger B1 and Bollinger B2, will begin as early as 2021. By acquiring the E-Chassis base, independent developers will be able to create their own electric vehicles in various directions.


Announced in September 2019, electricthe B1 crossover and the B2 pickup will receive a power plant with a capacity of 600 horsepower, capable of developing a torque of 900 Nm. Cars are able to accelerate to a speed of 100 km / h in 4.5 seconds, with a maximum speed of 160 km / h. When the vehicle is equipped with a standard 120 kWh battery, the radius of an autonomous trip will be 320 km (EPA). The buyer will be able to order a more affordable battery with a capacity of 60 kWh or more capacious at 180 kWh.
