Mullen Automotive, a Southern California-based automotive company, has made a notable advancement in the commercial electric vehicle (EV) sector by securing a purchase order for two Class 3 EV trucks from Westland Floral. This order highlights the increasing adoption of electric vehicles in commercial operations and the demand for eco-friendly transportation options. The Mullen THREE trucks, customized by Phenix Truck Bodies and delivered through Pritchard Commercial, are designed for urban last-mile delivery, featuring a 38-foot turning diameter and over 5,800 pounds of payload capacity.
The purchase is bolstered by California HVIP incentives, offering up to $45,000 in cash vouchers, alongside potential federal incentives of $7,500 per vehicle, making the transition to electric fleets more affordable for businesses. Mullen Automotive's vehicles, including the Mullen ONE and Mullen THREE, have received CARB and EPA certifications, ensuring they meet high environmental and safety standards. This certification is crucial for businesses aiming to reduce their carbon footprint and comply with strict regulations.
With a growing dealer network across the U.S. and manufacturing facilities in Mississippi and Indiana, Mullen Automotive is expanding its footprint in the commercial EV market. The Tunica facility's Foreign Trade Zone status further enhances the company's competitive edge by offering duty deferments and eliminations on exported vehicles. The sale to Westland Floral not only represents a milestone for Mullen Automotive but also signals the broader shift towards sustainable commercial transportation, with potential benefits for urban air quality and noise pollution reduction.
