Emerald Transportation Solutions is working with the Papé Group, a Mullen Automotive dealer, to develop an advanced reefer upfit for the Mullen Three, a Class 3 all-electric truck. The refrigerated Class 3 EV box truck opens new expanding categories for home delivery, frozen food, grocery, and beverage transportation.
“Transportation of perishable goods is a great segment for our commercial EVs and working with Emerald and Papé to bring this innovative reefer upfit of the Mullen Three to market,” said David Michery, CEO and chairman of Mullen Automotive. “This collaboration aligns with our commitment to providing sustainable and efficient transportation solutions for businesses of all sizes industries.”
Emerald is a commercial vehicle upfitter with more than 55 years of combined experience and a successful track record of working with many frozen food, beverage, and home delivery companies. It can outfit service trucks and vans for efficient and safe operation and sells and installs a variety of refrigeration equipment to customize commercial vehicles.
Additionally, Emerald specializes in collaborating with clients to design and fabricate custom and unique upfits or vehicle conversions tailored to specific needs and budgets.
Clean Top-of-Rail for Easy Upfitting
The Mullen Three Class 3 electric truck comes with a versatile chassis that provides a clean top-of-rail for easy upfitting with bodies up to 14 feet long and over 5,300 pounds of payload, making it a good platform for the reefer upfit.
State & Federal Incentives for Mullen Vehicles
Mullen’s commercial EV lineup includes the Mullen One, a Class 1 EV cargo van, and Mullen Three, a Class 3 EV cab chassis truck, purpose-built to meet the demands of urban last-mile delivery.
Both vehicles are available for sale and in full compliance with US Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards, and are EPA and CARB certified.
The Mullen Three was recently qualified for a $15,000 incentive through the State of Massachusetts MOR-EV program and a $45,000 cash rebate voucher through the California Hybrid and Zero-Emission Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Program (HVIP).
The Mullen One is also eligible for the MOR-EV program with a $3,500 rebate in Massachusetts. When combined with the $7,500 Federal Tax Incentive, both vehicles offer substantial savings for commercial fleet customers.
