Farizon has launched the all-new Farizon V7E at the Commercial Vehicle Show. The new medium-sized van delivers class-leading cargo capacity, payload and range, on a city-optimised electric platform that prioritises efficiency and ease-of-use.
The V7E benefits from extremely efficient packaging, with a skateboard chassis and drive-by-wire technology. It offers a class-leading 6.95m3 cargo capacity, class-leading payload of up to 1,338kg, and a class-leading ultra-low 500mm cargo platform for easier loading and unloading.
Making life simple for fleets of all sizes and sole traders, the V7E is launched with a straightforward line-up: a single body size finished in one of three paint finishes; a single comprehensive specification, and with the choice of a 50 kWh or a 67 kWh battery.
With a drag coefficient (Cd) of 0.27, the V7E will travel further than similarly specified rivals: up to 295 miles on the WLTP City cycle and 204 miles WLTP Combined. When needed, a 20-80 per cent top-up will take as little as 18 minutes, helping drivers get back on the road after the shortest of charging stops.
The Farizon V7E has been subjected to a rigorous five-million kilometre development programme and 20,000 hours of full-endurance testing. The van has also been subjected to 80,000 kilometres of extreme high and low temperature testing, as well as stringent durability tests, including more than 3,000 system and rig tests.
Such is Farizon’s confidence in the long-term durability and engineering integrity of the V7E, the van is backed in the UK by a five-year / 120,000 mile manufacturer’s warranty. Alongside a growing network of franchise dealers, nationwide maintenance, service and repair coverage is provided by the AA’s network of mobile vehicle technicians for four years. The van is being launched in the UK by Jameel Motors alongside the larger Farizon SV electric van, with which it shares its advanced, by-wire platform technology. Prices start at £28,000 (excluding delivery charge, VAT, ZEVG, VED and first registration fee).
Established in 2016, Farizon is the commercial vehicle division of Geely, China’s largest private vehicle manufacturer. The brand has earned a leading position in its domestic market through a focus on technology, the user and zero emissions. From a unique zero-emission product portfolio spanning trucks, LCVs and buses, the Farizon V7E will further grow the appeal of the brand’s UK product offering to an even greater reach of buyers.
