Mullen Automotive is electrifying the last mile, delivering another 38 Class 3 electric vehicles to Randy Marion Automotive Group. This marks a significant step forward in Mullen’s production ramp-up and its strategic partnership with Randy Marion, one of the largest commercial fleet dealers in the U.S.
Scaling Up for Fleet Adoption:
These latest deliveries are part of Randy Marion’s mammoth 1,000-vehicle purchase order, valued at $63 million. While 150 units are earmarked for 2023, the bulk of the order is scheduled for delivery in 2024. This surge in demand underscores the growing appetite for electric commercial vehicles, and Mullen is gearing up to meet it.
Tunica Facility Revving Up:
Mullen’s Tunica, Mississippi, facility is rapidly transforming into a hub for electric vehicle production. With a single-shift capacity of 3,000 Class 3 vehicles annually, it’s poised to become a key driver of Mullen’s growth. This dedication to scaling up production reflects the company’s confidence in the market and its commitment to delivering on its promises.
Mullen THREE: A Winning Formula:
Randy Marion’s Brad Sigmon, Fleet Vice President, lauds the Mullen THREE’s capabilities, highlighting its spacious 1,000 cubic feet cargo capacity and class-leading maneuverability. These features, coupled with the overall electric powertrain, cater perfectly to the demands of last-mile delivery, making the Mullen THREE a compelling choice for fleets looking to go green.
Strategic Partnership Propels Growth:
The collaboration between Mullen and Randy Marion is mutually beneficial. Mullen gains access to Randy Marion’s extensive network and expertise in fleet sales, while Randy Marion gets to offer its customers a cutting-edge electric vehicle solution. This win-win partnership is poised to accelerate the adoption of Mullen’s EVs in the commercial market.
David Michery, CEO and Chairman of Mullen Automotive, expresses his satisfaction with the progress: “I am pleased to see additional Class 3s are on their way to Randy Marion. Class 3 production has ramped up significantly and I am confident we will achieve our 2023 production volumes.”
