# Bollinger B2

> The Bollinger B2 is a boxy, all-electric pickup truck built for off-road purists who believe torque is a virtue and curves are a conspiracy. With 614 horsepower, a 120 kWh battery, and an aesthetic that would make a Land Rover Defender blush, it was the anti-Cybertruck before the Cybertruck existed.
