Mullen Automotive recently announced that Princeton University in Princeton, N.J., recently purchased a Mullen THREE, Class 3 electric vehicle (EV) box truck upfit for its facilities operations unit, according to a news release. The unit includes about 350 vehicles—including cars, vans, golf carts, and construction vehicles—for various transportation needs around campus. The university launched a fleet of 17 electric buses and charging facilities in fall 2023 in an effort to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2046, the university’s 300th anniversary.

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

The Mullen THREE Class 3 low cab forward EV truck is all electric and features a 125-mile range with a large payload. The chassis’s rail design supports upfits and customization for specific vocational needs. The truck recently qualified for a $15,000 incentive through the State of Massachusetts’ MOR-EV program and a $45,000 cash rebate voucher through the California Hybrid and Zero-Emission Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Program, the news release reports.
