Mullen to bring Chinese electric car — the Qiantu K50 — to N.Y.

(April 4, 2019) NEW YORK — Mullen Technologies is pleased to announce the North American debut of the Qiantu (meaning “Future” in Chinese) K50 electric car at the New York Auto Show later this month. This past December, Mullen Technologies and Qiantu announced a cooperation agreement, which allows Mullen to sell the vehicle in North America.

The K50 EV is Qiantu’s flagship model and combines a 402 HP motor mounted on an all-aluminum frame with an aerodynamic carbon fiber design that combines lighter weight and a stronger downforce for optimal performance and handling.

Mullen says this car is not just about the power. Flowing lines and sharp contours give the Qiantu K50 a distinctive style and ethereal beauty. The sculpted carbon-fiber body adds a futuristic element and is available in 6 colors.

“The New York Auto Show is the perfect place to introduce this amazing car to North America,” says Mullen Founder & CEO David Michery. “I wanted to bring it to consumers in the United States, where there’s always room for a car that combines power, beauty, and performance with zero CO2 emissions.”

Additional K50s are arriving at Mullen R&D center, where diagnostic and battery testing as well as homologation process will begin. The K50 will be manufactured in North America with deliveries of first orders set for 2020.
