MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Mullen Technologies Inc. announced it leasing a facility in Memphis to manufacture electric vehicles.
The long-term lease on the 820,000-sq.-ft. facility will bring 800 jobs to the area, according to a report from the Associated Press.
The new project will deliver 100,000 electric vehicles over a five-year period, beginning in 2023.
The 2P6 SUV crossover (formerly MX-05) will be the first in Mullen’s line of fully electric vehicles that will be manufactured at this facility.
Mullen is currently working on midstage design efforts for the 2P6 in Southern California, according to the AP report.
Once completed, Mullen will begin building prototype vehicles in its newly acquired facility in Tunica, Mississippi, for initial engineering development and certification.
Mullen will spend the next 33 months creating the necessary infrastructure and installing the required machinery and equipment for the Memphis facility to support large-scale production, the AP said.
Shelby County Mayor Lee Harris said the area is “open for business.”
Harris said, “We are excited about the substantial announcement that Mullen Technologies is considering Memphis as the location for their electric vehicle manufacturing operation. We would be honored to welcome Mullen Technologies and hundreds of quality jobs to our community.”
According to the AP, Mullen announced the purchase of a facility in Tunica that will provide advanced engineering and manufacturing capabilities.
Both facilities will support manufacturing for the next 10 years.
