Papé Truck is purchasing 43 Class 3 battery-electric trucks and seven Class 1 battery-electric cargo vans from Mullen Automotive. The total purchase for the 50 units is valued at $3.2 million and vehicle deliveries begin immediately.

Papé is Mullen’s seventh commercial EV dealer and includes 30 commercial sales and service locations across the Western U.S.

“Papé is a well-respected commercial dealer with locations in key West Coast markets,” said David Michery, CEO and chairman of Mullen Automotive. “Papé’s expertise and reach will play a crucial role in establishing new Mullen customers across the U.S.”

EV Vehicles Ordered by Papé Truck

Vehicles to be delivered include Class 3 stake body, Morgan box truck with side door, Knapheide Phenix service body and Knapheide aluminum stake body. 

The Papé order also includes Class 1 and Class 3 parts supply to stock on hand for fast warranty service and repair work.

Papé is a full-service Kenworth truck dealer offering an extensive parts inventory and service departments and has more than 30 locations across the Western U.S. To continue this partnership with customers now facing adapting to evolving regulations, Kenworth provides zero-emissions trucks for a wide range of applications.

Mullen’s Commitment to EV Access

Mullen said the partnership aligns with its commitment to provide wide spread access to its electric vehicles and Papé’s dedication to offering a variety of transportation solutions to meet all of its customers’ needs. 

Mullen’s Commercial EV Lineup

Mullen’s commercial EV lineup includes the Mullen One, Class 1 EV cargo van, and Mullen Three, Class 3 EV cab chassis truck, which is purpose-built to meet the demands of urban last-mile delivery. Both vehicles are available for sale and in full compliance with U.S. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards, EPA, and CARB certifications.

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.
