Mullen Automotive, Inc. announced the hiring of John Schwegman as its chief commercial officer (“CCO”) for Mullen's line of commercial vehicles.   Prior to joining Mullen, Schwegman spent 35 years of his career at General Motors (“GM”), where he held various executive-level roles in which he led global teams across four continents. At GM, he oversaw the growth of commercial product lines, repositioned core brands, developed Chevrolet's core electric vehicle prioritization, relaunched GM's previously retired medium-duty commercial fleet business and more. Schwegman's primary focus will be on growth strategy for Mullen's lineup of commercial EVs, covering Class 1 through Class 6 of light- and medium-duty trucks.

Mullen's current commercial vehicle lineup includes Class 1 and 2 EV cargo vans. Mullen recently made a majority acquisition of Bollinger Motors, whose portfolio includes Class 3 through Class 6 commercial vehicles. Schwegman will oversee new enterprise and fleet sales opportunities across all Mullen-Bollinger commercial vehicle categories.
