via IBN -- Mullen Automotive, Inc. (NASDAQ: MULN) (“Mullen” or the
“Company”), an electric vehicle (“EV”) manufacturer, announces a
new key hire in support of its European commercial electric
vehicles sales operations, in a move to solidify its position to
capture a growing share of the European EV market for commercial
applications.
To spearhead its European expansion, Mullen has appointed Alain
Van Munster as its new VP Europe Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”).
Alain brings a wealth of experience to the role, having spent over
25 years in the automotive and fleet industries across Europe, Asia
and South America, including positions with Copart and Manheim.
“Europe presents a tremendous opportunity for our commercial
vehicles and positions us for significant growth,” said David
Michery, CEO and chairman of Mullen Automotive. “Alain’s proven
track record in the automotive industry and understanding of
European markets will be instrumental in driving our
expansion.”
Mullen recently announced a new commercial EV fleet order for 40
all-electric Mullen-GO urban delivery vehicles with
Switzerland-based Antidoto SA, a commercial upfitter whose key
focus is on-demand food delivery companies. Mullen also recently
announced a new European distributor, GAMA, to offer Mullen’s full
commercial EV lineup in the Balkans Region, which includes Bosnia
Herzegovina, Serbia, Montenegro, Croatia, Slovenia, Macedonia,
Albania, Greece and Bulgaria. GAMA’s initial vehicle order includes
53 commercial EVs, consisting of urban delivery vehicles and
commercial vans and trucks. These milestones signify the growing
demand for Mullen's EVs in Europe and pave the way for further
fleet sales across the continent.
