Farizon to launch electric van in new year

Farizon – part of the Geely Group which also includes Volvo, Polestar and Lotus – says the van will be built on a modular electric platform which offers benefits in cargo space, range, handling and safety.

It also introduces the first drive-by-wire platform in the global van market, which Farizon says reduces stopping distances by 10%, increases range by 5% and steering response by 300%.

From launch, three vehicle lengths (L1, L2 and L3) and three heights (H1, H2 and H3) will be available in the UK, offering capacity and payload ranges of 6.9cu m to 13cu m and 1.1 tonnes to 1.3 tonnes respectively.
