The court-ordered liquidation of failed electric truck maker Bollinger Motors begins next month, with Maynards Industries set to sell the company’s complete EV manufacturing operation along with 20 of its Class 4 Bollinger B4 electric trucks. The online webcast auction is scheduled for Wednesday, May 13 at 10:00 a.m. ET and covers assets at sites in Oak Park, Michigan and Tunica, Mississippi.
Highlights
- Twenty 2025 Bollinger B4 Class 4 all-electric trucks will be sold alongside one new 2025 electric delivery truck
- Auction includes battery testing and validation systems, EV charging infrastructure, and vehicle lifts
- Inspection of Oak Park assets runs May 11–12; Tunica assets available by appointment
- Sale follows November 2025 shutdown of Bollinger Motors and December receivership order from an Ohio judge
What Is Being Sold
The auction covers a full electric vehicle manufacturing footprint across two states. The lots include battery testing and validation systems, EV charging and testing infrastructure, vehicle lifts, alignment and balancing equipment, toolroom machinery, and plant support assets. Most of the equipment is dated 2021 to 2025.
The vehicle inventory headlines the sale. Twenty 2025 Bollinger B4 Class 4 all-electric chassis cab trucks are on offer, along with a new 2025 electric delivery truck and additional vehicles, inventory, and shop equipment. The B4 carries a 158-kWh battery pack, a rated range of 185 miles, and a payload capacity of 7,394 pounds. Bollinger had set the model’s MSRP at $158,758 when it launched production in September 2024.
Why the Assets Are Being Liquidated
The auction is the endpoint of a rapid collapse at Bollinger Motors and its parent. Bollinger Motors ceased operations in late November 2025 after missing payroll, according to reporting in the Detroit Free Press. On December 19, 2025, Lucas County Common Pleas Court Judge Joseph McNamara ordered the company back into receivership in a lawsuit filed by supplier Dana Inc., which claimed it was owed $6.2 million. Gene Kohut was reappointed receiver, having served in the same role earlier in 2025.
It was Bollinger’s second trip into court receivership. The company had been placed into U.S. District Court receivership in March 2025 after founder Robert Bollinger sued over unpaid loans, and it emerged in June 2025 after parent Mullen Automotive paid him $11 million and lifted its ownership stake to 95 percent. Mullen rebranded as Bollinger Innovations in July 2025 and was delisted from Nasdaq in October 2025 after falling below the $1-per-share threshold.
Auction Logistics
Inspection of the Oak Park, Michigan assets will be held May 11–12 from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. ET. Assets located in Tunica, Mississippi are available for inspection by appointment. Catalog access and bidder registration are available through the Maynards Industries auction page.
In the auction announcement, Robert Levy, President of Maynards Industries, said the sale offers buyers a way to bypass new-equipment lead times: “This is a unique opportunity to acquire exceptionally high-quality and lightly used EV manufacturing equipment and electric trucks without the long lead times associated with new production. These assets offer immediate value to manufacturers, integrators, and fleet operators looking to expand their capabilities in the vehicle and fleet manufacturing, customization and maintenance sectors.”
