Mullen commemorates start of Class 3 vehicle production with commercial EV launch event in Tunica

In California, EV manufacturer Mullen Automotive announces that it held its first Tunica open house event, highlighting its first Class 3 EV trucks rolling off the assembly line.

The firm noted that the event was conducted to provide attendee’s the opportunity to visit Mullen’s Tunica facility, in Mississippi. In addition to a facility tour, the event featured a company presentation and test drives for Class 1 and Class 3 commercial vehicles. Attendees included local county and state leadership, media, investors and customers.

Mullen said it will be gradually ramping up its Class 3 production rate through the remaining of this calendar year. Once full acceleration has been achieved, production capacity at the Tunica facility is currently planned at 3,000 Class 3 vehicles annually per shift. As electric vehicle adoption rates increase, Mullen said it plans to add a second shift for Class 3 production, which will increase capacity to 6,000 total vehicles per year.
