”Roush will help us to hit our quality and production targets confidently,” said Bryan Chambers, chief operating officer of Bollinger Motors, in the release. “Roush’s knowledge base and track record in working with both startups and established OEMs was a big part of our decision.”
According to Brad Rzetelny, vice president of Roush Flexible Assembly, Roush’s proven processes are “engineered to bring products to market quickly and efficiently, while meeting OEM-level quality standards.”
“With fully scalable manufacturing, we can grow with Bollinger Motors to meet the growing need from its fleet customers as they convert to electric vehicles,” Rzetelny said in the release.
