Mullen Automotive, Inc., an emerging electric vehicle manufacturer, announces the New York Power Authority (NYPA), the largest state public power organization in the US, has purchased Mullen’s Campus Delivery Cargo Vans after a successful completion of an EV pilot program at NYPA’s 16-turbine hydroelectric facility in northern New York.
The 60-day pilot program began in July 2023 and concluded in September 2023. As a result, NYPA will purchase the initial pilot vehicles for fleet operations at its St. Lawrence-Franklin D. Roosevelt Power Project, NYPA’s first active power plant that opened in 1958. The Power Authority is assessing additional NYPA locations for Mullen’s full lineup of commercial EVs, including the Class 1 EV Cargo Vans and Class 3 EV Cab Chassis Trucks.
The Mullen CAMPUS is a highly efficient electric van designed for low-speed, closed campus use. The CAMPUS has all the same DNA as the Mullen ONE, but was purpose-built to be an ideal delivery solution for micro-environments.
NYPA is at the forefront of producing and bringing clean, reliable energy to the state of New York. NYPA’s strategic vision is to create a thriving, resilient New York State that’s powered by clean energy. NYPA is leading the transition to a carbon-free, economically vibrant New York through customer partnerships, innovative energy solutions, and the responsible supply of clean, affordable, and reliable electricity.
“It’s great to see our EVs enter the Northeast market with the New York Power Authority, our nation’s largest public utility, using our delivery utility model for campus transportation. Our EV cargo van is a perfect fit for large, closed workplace campus scenarios,” says David Michery, chief executive officer and chairman of Mullen Automotive.
