Commercial leasing company Volt Mobility boasts clients that include UPS, DHL, and FedEx. And now, they\u2019ll be able to boast about having one of the largest electric vehicle fleets in the world \u2013\u00a0because they just ordered 3,000 electric trucks from Mullen.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Volt Mobility placed a $210 million order for 3,000 class 1<\/a> and class 3 electric cargo vans<\/a> to be delivered over the next sixteen months. From there, Volt will lease the vehicles to its corporate customer base throughout the Gulf Cooperation Council (\u201cGCC\u201d) region, which includes Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE).<\/p>\n

\u201cVolt is reshaping the way people and businesses move across the UAE and GCC,\u201d said David Michery, CEO and chairman of Mullen Automotive<\/a>. \u201cThis landmark agreement provides Mullen with exposure to leading global transportation companies and the opportunity for utilizing Mullen EVs across the UAE and other areas of the Middle East.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mullen says Volt Mobility\u2019s vehicles will be assembled at the company\u2019s Tunica, Mississippi-based Commercial Vehicle Facility, an ex-GM plant which is capable of producing 20,000 class 1 and 6,000 class 3 vehicles annually with two production shifts.<\/p>\n

Mullen will receive an initial $3 million deposit within 60 days<\/a>, with additional payments coming due as the vehicles are delivered to Volt.<\/p>\n

Against all odds, Mullen is still alive. And, seemingly, more alive than ever \u2013\u00a0constantly defying the naysayers who expect its next press release to send it the way of the Tasmanian tiger, the dodo, and the first, second, and fourth incarnations of Fisker<\/a>. Similarly, you wouldn\u2019t expect a middle eastern logistics fleet to choose electric over diesel \u2026 I wouldn\u2019t, anyway. As such, I should probably let one of the subjects of this article close it out.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt Volt, we don\u2019t just follow trends; we set them,\u201d said Sophia Nau, managing director and CFO for Volt Mobility. \u201cOur mission is clear: lead the transformation to sustainable, efficient and cutting-edge transportation.\u201d<\/p>\n
