Mullen Automotive is selling a Mullen Three, a Class 3 EV box truck upfit, to Princeton University’s facilities operations unit. Princeton has selected the Mullen Three to support its campus operations and contribute to its overall sustainability goals, including reaching zero emissions for on-campus university service vehicles.

Princeton University’s facilities operations include more than 350 fleet vehicles—owned and leased cars, vans, trucks, golf carts, and construction vehicles—to transport people and things on and around campus.

In Fall 2023, the university launched a new fleet of 17 electric buses and charging facilities as part of a campus-wide plan to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by its 300th anniversary in 2046.

Princeton University's facilities operations unit, with its commitment to environmental stewardship, has chosen the Mullen Three for its zero-emission operation and overall vehicle versatility.

This vehicle order is fulfilled by Mullen’s nationally known EV dealer partner, Pritchard EV.

“We are proud to work with Princeton in their journey towards a net-zero carbon emissions campus,” said David Michery, CEO and chairman of Mullen Automotive. “This purchase marks a significant milestone for Mullen as we continue to expand our presence in the higher education sector.”
