New York-based Bollinger Motors claims to have come up with the world's first all-electric all-wheel drive off-road sport utility truck, and what's for sure is that the B1's three-box design promises tons of functionality as well as a quick conversion from full cab to half cab.

Previously, Bollinger said that the B1 is built on a 105 inch wheelbase with a track width of 68 inches, sporting short overhangs and portal axles, which give it an approach angle of 56 degrees, and a departure angle of 53 degrees. And because the batteries put the center of gravity very low within the aluminum chassis, the company also claims an impressive 33 degree breakover angle, with 50/50 weight distribution.

What's more, due to the hidden nature of the all-wheel drive electric drivetrain, the B1 can haul 4X8 boards, while its pass thru door can swallow up to 24 2X4 boards. Which you can then cut up, powering your machines from the car's battery. Ideal, as long as you don't run out of charge. Which you shouldn't, because the specs are the following:

60 or 100 kWh battery pack, giving the truck either 120 or 200 miles of range

0-60 mile-per-hour time of 4.5 seconds

A top speed of 127 mph top

360 horsepower

472 foot-pounds of torque

Charge time of 7 hours (60 kWh) or 12 hours (100 kWh), with CHAdeMO DC Fast Charging available (45 or 75 minutes, respectively)

Adjustable ground clearance (10 - 20 inches)

3900 lbs. "total vehicle weight" and a 10,001 GVWR

6100 lbs. towing capacity and 6100 lbs. of payload capacity

95 cubic feet of total cargo capacity with rear seats removed, of which 14 cu. ft. are at the front.

Plus, a 67.4 MPGe estimate. Sounds good? Excellent, in fact.

Going back to the 8-bit forms, the aluminum and steel chassis is wrapped with some purposely utilitarian riveted body panels, accompanied by basic straight bumpers, aggressive off-road tires, a beefy tailgate and a removable roof featuring a sliding rear window design.

That means the B1 can go from full cab to half cab in no time at all. Granted, the windshield is locked in place, unlike on a Wrangler. On the plus side, the B1 offers silent travel through the wilderness, and is also expected to go just as far as any other stock truck, using its portal axles and electric torque. And just in case you also want some luxury, the B1 covers that part with its leather-wrapped door handles.

This sounds like the future of off-roading, and one can only hope that it'll work in practice too. Just in case it won't, remember that at least you'll be more likely to come to a halt near a suitable camp site. Jokes aside, until we can try it out in action, just have a look at the truck for yourself, and meet the team, coming straight from the Wrangler capital of America, New York.
