Farizon has unveiled its V7E medium electric van at the Commercial Vehicle Show, with prices starting from £28,000 excluding VAT, as it expands its UK line-up in the urban logistics sector.
The V7E is built on a dedicated electric platform using drive by wire architecture and a skateboard chassis, designed to maximise load space and efficiency. It offers up to 6.95 cubic metres of cargo capacity and payloads of up to 1,338kg.
The van is available with either a 50kWh or 67kWh battery, delivering up to 204 miles of range on the WLTP combined cycle. City range rises to 295 miles for the larger battery option.
Fast charging from 20 to 80% can be completed in 18 minutes using DC charging, while AC charging at 11kW enables a full charge in under five hours.
The model is offered in a simplified line-up with a single body size and specification, alongside a choice of battery sizes.
The V7E uses a drive by wire chassis system that replaces mechanical steering and braking connections with electronic controls, designed to improve response times and handling precision. The platform also supports weight reductions of up to 20%, contributing to efficiency gains.

The van has a turning circle of six metres, allowing it to complete a U turn within two lanes, and is equipped with front and rear disc brakes with brake by wire technology.
Inside, the V7E features a 12.3 inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, alongside a digital instrument cluster and a range of driver assistance systems as standard.
The vehicle is backed by a five year or 120,000 mile warranty in the UK. Aftersales support includes nationwide servicing through the AA’s network of mobile technicians for the first four years.
Farizon, part of Geely, is entering the UK market through a partnership with Jameel Motors, which is building a dealer network focused on commercial vehicle operators.
The V7E joins the Farizon SV van as the brand looks to establish a presence in the UK electric van market and attract fleet and business customers.
