Mullen Automotive’s I-GO™, Electric Commercial Urban Delivery Van, Arrives in Europe

Mullen Automotive, Inc. (NASDAQ: MULN), an emerging name in the electric vehicle (EV) sector, has announced that its I-GO™ Commercial Urban Delivery EV has embarked its journey to Europe. The sample vehicles are currently on their way to the Newgate Motor Group in Ireland, anticipating their arrival in early January 2023. The original arrival of these sample vehicles at Newgate was expected to be December 20, 2022. However, delivery had to be postponed due to COVID-related shutdowns in China. This delay represents a slight setback but signifies the company’s resilience in navigating global challenges in its quest to innovate the EV market.

The I-GO™ is Mullen’s recently announced urban commercial delivery vehicle, designed to bridge the gap between the growing demand for quick deliveries and space constraints in dense cities throughout Europe. It is an innovative solution, tailored to meet the needs of the evolving e-commerce landscape. The Mullen I-GO™ comes EU standard homologated, certified, and ready for sale in initial markets of the U.K., Germany, Spain, France, and Ireland. The first set of these revolutionary EVs is headed to the Newgate Motor Group, a leading dealership based in Navan, Ireland. This strategic move underscores Mullen’s commitment to expanding its footprint in key European markets while reinforcing its position in the rapidly growing EV sector.

“Over the last month, we’ve received a significant uptick in interest and inquiries on the I-GO EV,” said Jim Ring, general manager for Newgate Motor Group. “We are definitely excited to receive the initial sample vehicles and look forward to showcasing them for our customers firsthand.”

“The initial I-GO samples have arrived in Europe and are now on their way to Newgate in Ireland,” said David Michery,” CEO and chairman of Mullen Automotive. “We are excited for sales and service to get up and running with Newgate. Once established, we will look further into other opportunities for the European Market. The I-GO is a great alternative vehicle for delivery in dense metro European cities. The small size is perfect for maneuverability on tight euro streets and the zero emissions and lower cost of ownership is a great combination for our potential commercial customers.”

In November 2022, a significant milestone was reached when Mullen Automotive formalized an agreement with Newgate Motor Group. As one of the most recognized dealership groups in Ireland, Newgate was appointed to act as the marketing, sales, distribution, and servicing agent for the Mullen I-GO™ in both Ireland and the United Kingdom. This strategic move not only further strengthens Mullen’s presence in key European markets but also ensures that the I-GO™ will be supported by a leading industry name, reinforcing the credibility of this innovative EV in the market.

Newgate Motor Group, with over four decades of industry experience, has earned a stellar reputation in the automotive sector. Representing several distinguished brands such as Renault/Dacia, Kia, and Mercedes-Benz, Newgate is a respected entity in Ireland’s automotive retail scene. Their influence extends beyond retail, with robust ties in the vehicle distribution business across the United Kingdom and several regions in Europe. Apart from Mullen’s I-GO™, Newgate Motor Group also represents XBUS and Evetta electric vehicles, which are products of the German-based company, Electric Brands. The association with these electric vehicles further emphasizes Newgate Motor Group’s commitment to sustainable mobility.
