Loop Global will provide EV Charging infrastructure and fleet operations software. The Mullen electric vans will be serviced through Loop Global’s electric vehicle fleet as-a-service (EVFaaS) programme.

Using the Loop cloud-based Charger Management System, the EVs can be charged between shifts.

“We have committed to switching to electric vehicles wherever possible to reduce our carbon emissions, however charging infrastructure can be a barrier so it’s great to be working with both Mullen and Loop to pilot a solution at LAX.
