BREA, Calif., Jan. 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via IBN -- (NASDAQ: ) (“Mullen” or the “Company”), an electric vehicle (“EV”) manufacturer, today announces the additional sale of five Mullen ONE, Class 1 EV cargo vans to two leading California Universities in Los Angeles and the San Francisco Bay Area. The vehicle order will be fulfilled by Mullen’s nationally known EV dealer partners, the Papé Group and Randy Marion Automotive Group.

Mullen’s advanced commercial EVs, coupled with their focus on efficiency, cost savings and performance, align perfectly with the goals of forward-thinking institutions committed to reducing their carbon emissions.

“The recent influx of orders from prestigious universities across the U.S. is a testament to the value Mullen Commercial EVs bring to fleets looking to electrify,” said David Michery, CEO and chairman of Mullen Automotive. “Moreover, to have repeat orders coming in so quickly after initial deliveries speaks to the value and performance of our product line.”

Mullen’s commercial EV lineup includes the Mullen ONE, Class 1 EV cargo van, and the Mullen THREE, Class 3 EV cab chassis truck, purpose-built to meet the demands of urban last-mile applications. Both vehicles are available for sale and in full compliance with U.S. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the California Air Resources Board (“CARB”) certifications denoting strict adherence to clean air emissions standards.
