A ‘SUPERVAN’ is set to be unveiled and it’s expected to rival Ford and Vauxhall with the price tag.
Chinese brand Geely is gearing up to release a pure-electric van that can go for 250 miles on a single charge.
The van is available in three different sizes with options on batteries[/caption]
The Farizon SV has been “designed specifically to meet the needs of European fleets”.
It will offer a payload capacity of 1,800kg and will come with a choice of three battery sizes, weights and heights.
The vans are expected to go on sale in the UK in early 2025 and will be marketed by Geely’s official distributor Jameel Motors.
The price of the Farizon SV is yet to be revealed but Auto Express has estimated the starting price will be around £30,000.
Ford E-Transit and Vauxhall Vivaro Electric vans both range from £50,000 in price.
Farizon says the SV has undergone “a rigorous one-million-mile testing and development programme” and claims it will meet every European standard, “including in durability, safety and sustainability”.
Breaking the mould, the SV has dual-redundancy drive-by-wire for braking and steering.
This important safety feature means that if either fail, there will be a back-up in place.
Three sizes will be offered to UK buyers, the smallest being 4,990mm long and 1,980 high.
The mid-size will be 5,490mm long and 2,180 tall and the largest will be 5,995mm long and 2,500mm tall.
All three sizes will be 1,9800mm wide.
The Farizon SV will be rolled out in the UK early next year[/caption]
