Mullen Automotive, Inc. (NASDAQ: MULN) (“Mullen” or the “Company”), an electric vehicle (“EV”) manufacturer, announces that Emerald Transportation Solutions (“Emerald”), a premier commercial refrigeration (“reefer”) vehicle upfitter, is working with the Papé Group (“Papé”) to develop an advanced reefer upfit for the Mullen THREE, a Class 3 all-electric truck. The refrigerated Class 3 EV box truck opens new rapidly expanding categories for home delivery, frozen food, grocery and beverage transportation.

Emerald is a leading commercial vehicle upfitter with more than 55 years of combined experience and a successful track record of working with many frozen food, beverage, and home delivery companies. Emerald can outfit service trucks and vans to ensure efficient and safe operation and sells and installs a variety of refrigeration equipment to customize commercial vehicles. Additionally, Emerald specializes in collaborating with clients to design and fabricate custom and unique upfits or vehicle conversions tailored to specific needs and budgets.

The Mullen THREE Class 3 electric truck comes with a versatile chassis that provides a clean top-of-rail for easy upfitting with bodies up to 14 feet long and over 5,300 lbs of payload, making it an ideal platform for the reefer upfit.

“Transportation of perishable goods is a great segment for our commercial EVs and we’re working with Emerald and Papé to bring this innovative reefer upfit of the Mullen THREE to market,” said David Michery, CEO and chairman of Mullen Automotive. “This collaboration aligns with our commitment to providing sustainable and efficient transportation solutions for businesses of all sizes and industries.”

Mullen’s commercial EV lineup includes the Mullen ONE, Class 1 EV cargo van, and Mullen THREE, Class 3 EV cab chassis truck, purpose-built to meet the demands of urban last-mile delivery. Both vehicles are available for sale and in full compliance with U.S. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards, EPA and CARB certifications.

The Mullen THREE was recently qualified for a $15,000 incentive through the State of Massachusetts MOR-EV program and a $45,000 cash rebate voucher through the California Hybrid and Zero-Emission Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Program (HVIP). The Mullen ONE is also eligible for the MOR-EV program with a $3,500 rebate in Massachusetts. When combined with the $7,500 Federal Tax Incentive, both vehicles offer substantial savings for commercial fleet customers.
