Mullen Automotive (NASDAQ:MULN) stock is climbing 25% in early trading after the electric vehicle (EV) maker announced yesterday that it would distribute an urban delivery EV in Europe.

The automaker “secured exclusive sales, distribution and branding rights for the I-GO.” The I-GO is a “last-mile” delivery EV that has been approved for sale in a number of European countries. According to Mullen CEO David Michery, a huge demand exists for this type of vehicle on the continent.

Mullen intends to start selling the I-GO in Germany in December. It has also obtained licenses to market the I-GO in Spain, France, the U.K. and Ireland.

Designed to be used in cities, the EV will have a base cost of $11,999. This does not include value-added tax (VAT) and local transportation.

“The I-GO bridges the gap between the growing demand for quick deliveries and space constraints found throughout the dense cities of Europe,” Mullen stated.
