CALIFORNIA, 12 June 2023: Mullen Automotive Inc, an emerging electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer, announced today that it has partnered with Phenix Truck Bodies & Van Equipment to develop a light-weight truck body for its Class 3 EV.
Phenix is one of California’s largest providers of work trucks, equipment and specialty truck bodies, and has a long history of working with commercial fleet customers.
Mullen THREE
The Mullen THREE is a Class 3 EV that features a tight turning diameter of 38 feet and excellent visibility for superior maneuverability on narrow city streets. Its versatile chassis provides a clean top-of-rail for easy upfitting with bodies up to 14 feet in length and over 5,800 pounds of payload.
Phenix will develop a unique, light-weight body configuration designed to satisfy the needs of Class 3 service body truck fleets. The goal of the partnership is to offer an EV alternative to ICE vehicles for commercial fleets. Upon upfit completion, the Class 3 vehicle will be made available to Phenix commercial fleet customers for evaluation and pilot programs.
The Mullen THREE is expected to be available in August and September 2023. Pre-production units of the Mullen THREE are available nationally for customer demos and test drives. Fleets, municipalities and small businesses can request a demo of Mullen’s commercial vehicles here.
