The Bollinger Motors B2 is a pickup version of the B1.

The B1’s back to basics utilitarian styling made a splash when it debuted and was most recently scheduled to go on sale last year at a starting price around $125,000. Bollinger planned to have it built by a contract manufacturer, rather than in-house.
Bollinger’s commercial truck platform is being developed to accommodate a variety of vehicle types.

The company has taken about 1,000 reservations with $1,000 deposits for the B1 and the B2 pickup that’s based on it, which will now be refunded as it shifts its focus toward using the platform it is developing for commercial trucks.
