BREA, Calif., July 31, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — via IBN – Mullen Automotive, Inc. (NASDAQ: MULN) (“Mullen” or the “Company”), an electric vehicle (“EV”) manufacturer, announces today its participation as an Anchor Organization and panelist at the 2024 Southeastern United States – Canadian Provinces (“SEUS-CP”) Business Forum, taking place August 4-6 in Biloxi, Mississippi. Mullen is a confirmed Anchor Organization at this event alongside Airbus, Ingalls Shipbuilding, Mississippi Polymer Institute at The University of Southern Mississippi, Mississippi Power, Port of Pascagoula, Skydweller Aero, and The Coca-Cola Company.
The SEUS-CP alliance was established in 2007 to formally advance a common interest in enhancing economic ties between the two regions and is a strategic trade and investment-focused partnership between six southeastern states and six provinces. The SEUS-CP alliance meets annually to present clear B2B opportunities for enhanced commercial exchanges, two-way trade and investment, and knowledge sharing between and among member states and provinces.
This year’s business forum focuses on Advanced Manufacturing (Aerospace and Electric Vehicle Technologies and Components) and the Blue Economy (Shipbuilding, UAVs, Smart Ports Energy, Innovative Materials, Innovative Technologies & Data Analytics, Fisheries & Aquaculture).
“The Southeast U.S. – Canadian Provinces Business Forum is an invaluable platform that brings together businesses like Mullen Automotive and Canadian industry leaders across diverse sectors,” said Mississippi Development Authority Executive Director Bill Cork. “While this year’s forum will highlight advanced manufacturing and the blue economy, numerous opportunities for growth and strategic partnerships for all Mississippi exporters will be abundant throughout the event. We are grateful to Mullen Automotive for serving as an anchor organization and panelist at SEUS-CP 2024 and appreciate the company’s partnership as we strive to bring new economic opportunities to both regions.”
“Mullen has a deep commitment to the Southeast U.S. region with our commercial EV manufacturing located in Tunica, Mississippi, and our participation as an Anchor Organization in this year’s SEUS-CP forum underscores our focus on Mississippi,” said David Michery, CEO and chairman of Mullen Automotive. “We look forward to showcasing our innovative lineup of commercial EVs and connecting with industry leaders, potential customers, and strategic partners.”
Mullen’s commercial electric vehicle manufacturing and assembly facility located in Tunica, Mississippi, spans 120,000 square feet across a 100-acre campus. Recently designated as a Foreign Trade Zone by the U.S. Department of Commerce in May 2024, the Tunica facility serves as Mullen’s innovation hub for commercial electric vehicle production and validation.
Mullen’s commercial EV lineup includes the Mullen ONE, Class 1 EV cargo van, and the Mullen THREE, Class 3 EV cab chassis truck, 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, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the California Air Resources Board (“CARB”) certifications denoting strict adherence to clean air emissions standards.
