Now the company, which says it is “ramping up B1 production in earnest,” has released a short video that follows the 20-month process of designing and building the prototype. Company founder Robert Bollinger has been a car guy since childhood. When he finally got the chance to design his own vehicle, making it electric was a no-brainer. The Bollinger B1 has an all-aluminum chassis and body, a dual-motor electric powertrain and a 120 kWh battery pack that provides a 200-mile range. The 5,000-pound truck has a payload capacity of 5,000 pounds, and an adjustable suspension that can vary ground clearance from 10 to 20 inches. It’s obviously built with the job site in mind – with a 12-foot long cargo space between the front and rear lift gates, it can haul 72 sheets of ½-inch drywall, and can serve as a remote power source for electric tools. Bollinger’s design philosophy is to eliminate everything that isn’t essential to functionality – even the new video is rendered in black-and-white. “The B1 really came out of a sudden brainstorm to combine into one truck all the things I needed for use on my farm,” says Robert Bollinger. “Unfortunately, the light-duty truck hasn’t really evolved much in the last century; I found myself really wanting one all-purpose vehicle that could perform daily farm duties, remote construction projects, exploring off-road, and more. The underlying concept behind the B1 was to make the truck incredibly capable and strong.” [© chargedevs.com] + https://tiresandparts.net/news/parts/frank-williams-makes-new-platform-for-electric-cars/ Frank Williams Makes New Platform for Electric Cars March 19, 2018 Frank Williams Advanced Engineering, a sister concern of the renowned F1 team, has developed a new electric vehicle platform called the FW-EVX.
