Bollinger Motors Inc. on Monday said Roush Enterprises Inc. will be the contract manufacturer to assemble its line of all-electric commercial platforms and chassis cabs in Livonia, Michigan.
The agreement secures more EV manufacturing — specifically of larger commercial Class 3 through 6 trucks and vans — for Michigan just as some have expressed concerns the home of the Motor City isn't keeping up with the major investments announced in Southern states for the new generation of the auto industry.
Roush will work for Bollinger under a supplier agreement. The number of jobs the assembly will create or retain wasn't immediately available. The Oak Park-based EV startup also didn't disclose a timeline, though CEO Robert Bollinger told The Detroit News the company will be working on more prototypes this year and design verification next year.
