Mullen Automotive Announces Addition of Detroit EV Technology Team
August 03 2022 - 8:30AM
via InvestorWire – Mullen Automotive, Inc. (NASDAQ: MULN) (“Mullen”
or the “Company”), an emerging electric vehicle (“EV”)
manufacturer, announces the opening of a new EV Technology team,
focusing on developing EV technologies for Mullen’s portfolio of
commercial vans.
Located in Pontiac, Michigan, and centrally located to all
automotive resources the Motor City Area has to offer, the EV
Technology team will be home to a new division of engineers and
technology developers focused on Mullen’s Class 1 – 5 commercial
vehicle development. This “Detroit Tech Center” and its EV
Technology team will play a critical role in Mullen’s goal of
developing highly efficient EV technology that utilizes less energy
consumption while offering greater vehicle ranges and power. Mullen
has already brought on close to 20 new hires and expects to have
upwards of 50 employees by the end of this year.
The Detroit Tech Center will be the fifth location opened by
Mullen and follows the recently announced Irvine Automotive Center,
located in Irvine, California. Other Mullen facilities
include the Advanced Manufacturing and Engineering Center based
outside Tunica, Mississippi, and Mullen’s High Voltage facility
Iocated in Monrovia, California. Mullen’s Corporate
Headquarters is based in Brea, California.
“Detroit is a natural spot for us for all the right and obvious
reasons. A majority of our current partners are based in Detroit,
so opening this center made perfect sense for our ongoing and
future commercial van development,” said David Michery, CEO and
chairman of Mullen Automotive. “It is great timing for us as many
of the other EV companies are reducing their teams and we are
growing at a rapid rate.”
Mullen’s EV development portfolio includes the Mullen FIVE EV
Crossover, the Mullen ONE EV Fleet Vans, and the DragonFLY Sports
Car. Mullen recently announced the “Strikingly Different” U.S. Test
Drive Tour for the Mullen FIVE EV Crossover, covering 19 cities
across the U.S. The tour will begin this fall in Southern
California and work its way throughout the U.S. Further details can
be found here, or place your Mullen FIVE reservation here.
