Pritchard EV and MRSS at American Towman Showcase in Las Vegas.

MRSS is a leading upfitter for the Roadside Service Industry and a strategic supplier to towing and emergency roadside service companies, including AAA, throughout the U.S.

BREA, Calif., May 02, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — via IBN — Mullen Automotive, Inc. (NASDAQ: MULN) (“Mullen” or the “Company”), an electric vehicle (“EV”) manufacturer, and its recently announced dealer partner, Pritchard EV (“Pritchard”), have joined with Mobile Road Service Solutions (“MRSS”) to debut the Mullen ONE, Class 1 EV cargo van roadside assistance vehicle upfit which is currently on display at the American Towman Showcase in Las Vegas, Nevada.

MRSS is a leading upfitter for the Roadside Service Industry and is a strategic supplier to towing and emergency roadside service companies throughout the U.S. including companies like AAA. The company has roots in the road service business reaching back nearly a decade, when one of the largest towing and emergency roadside service contractors in California began producing its own light service battery vans to more cost-effectively, safely and efficiently provide mobile battery and light road service for auto club members.

Pritchard EV, a national leader in the adoption of electric vehicles with commercial fleets, worked with MRSS to identify the Mullen ONE EV cargo van as their first joint offering for the roadside service market.

The Mullen ONE EV Cargo Van is the only Class 1 Cargo van available today. The Mullen ONE boasts 157 cubic feet of cargo space, 1,600 lbs. of payload and 110 miles of range.

“Previously MRSS’s flagship product was a Class One commercial van specifically designed for light duty service. Folks loved its maneuverability and economy; it was a top seller for us, particularly with our customer, AAA,” said David Biehl, National Sales Director of Mobile Road Service Solutions, LLC. “We work very closely with AAA and were excited to hear that Pritchard was adding Mullen to their product line, particularly when our customer is moving strongly into the EV arena. The Mullen allows us to continue to offer a smaller commercial van to those of our customers who preferred that size. We’re excited to show our first demo at the American Towman Show in Las Vegas.”

“Mobile roadside assistance is a great segment for our commercial EVs and partnering with Prichard and MRSS is a great opportunity within the space,” said David Michery, CEO and chairman of Mullen Automotive. “Today, both companies hit the ground running in Las Vegas with our Class 1 EV cargo van which is on display and receiving great feedback at the tradeshow. We look forward to success with both Pritchard and MRSS.”  

Pritchard EV is committed to providing fleets with access to sustainable mobility solutions and developing new modes of distribution that meet fleets where they are. With a network of partners as well as in-house resources, Pritchard EV is uniquely positioned to help fleets address major pain points like logistics, financing and vehicle registration.

Mullen’s commercial EV lineup includes the Mullen ONE, Class 1 EV cargo van and Mullen THREE, Class 3 EV cab chassis truck. The all-electric Mullen ONE Class 1 EV cargo van and Mullen THREE Class 3 low cab forward EV truck are both 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.

Mullen has begun training initiatives with the Pritchard team on ordering, upfitting and servicing Mullen’s commercial EVs. For quotes and purchasing questions, email [email protected]. View Pritchard’s inventory of Mullen commercial vehicles at www.pritchardev.com.
