This deal, valued at $3.2 million, strengthens Mullen’s partnership with Papé, who now becomes the company’s seventh commercial EV dealer. With more than 30 service locations, Papé will support Mullen’s growing market reach for commercial EVs. The partnership promises to boost sales and expand access to Mullen’s full range of electric vehicles.

Papé’s order will see the delivery of several vehicle models, including the Class 3 stake body and Morgan box truck with a side door, among others. Additionally, the order includes parts supplies for quick warranty services and repair work, ensuring minimal downtime for customers.

The collaboration between Mullen and Papé aligns well with the growing demand for zero-emission vehicles and helps both companies adapt to changing regulations and environmental standards. Papé, known for its extensive service network and customer commitment, will now offer Mullen’s vehicles as part of its broad inventory of transportation solutions.

Mullen’s CEO David Michery emphasized the importance of this partnership, stating, “Papé’s expertise and reach will play a crucial role in establishing new Mullen customers across the U.S.”

Mullen Automotive continues to strengthen its presence in the U.S. market with vehicles like the Mullen ONE and Mullen THREE. Both are fully certified under U.S. safety and emissions standards and are now available for purchase. In addition, these vehicles qualify for state and federal incentives, making them cost-effective options for commercial fleet operators.

The Mullen THREE, for instance, is eligible for a $45,000 cash rebate under California’s Hybrid and Zero-Emission Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Program (HVIP) and a $15,000 incentive under the Massachusetts MOR-EV program. Similar incentives apply to the Mullen ONE, offering fleet customers significant savings.

Through this growing dealer network, including seven commercial EV dealers like Papé, Mullen is positioning itself as a leader in the commercial EV space across key U.S. markets, including the West Coast, Midwest, and Northeast.
