Mullen Automotive, Inc. has announced Randy Marion Automotive as the first dealer group partner for Mullen’s commercial EV lineup, which is set to launch in the U.S. in 2023. In addition, Randy Marion put in a purchase order for 6,000 Class 1 EV cargo vans from Mullen, valued at approximately $200 million.

Mullen’s commercial EV lineup includes Class 1-3 cargo van and cab chassis offerings and Bollinger Motors Class 4-6 chassis products.

“We are impressed with Mullen Automotive’s EV lineup, their speed to market and, most notably, their focus on an underserved commercial market for EV vehicles,” said Randy Marion, CEO and founder of RMA. “This is especially obvious when you consider what has taken place in the Class 1 light cargo van category. OEMs have all exited from the commercial Class 1 van segment, leaving the door wide open for Mullen’s EV lineup.”
