The innovative design and advanced technologies of the Farizon SV electric van have demonstrated remarkable performance, achieving exceptional efficiency during a nationwide real-world rally in the United Kingdom. The results highlight the vehicle’s capability under practical, everyday conditions.
According to a report by Jadeh Makhsoos Information Base, from September 1st to 5th, three Farizon SVs participated in this year’s GREENFLEET Explorer EV Rally. Driven by journalists, prospective customers, and fleet managers, each van covered an average of 1,043 miles on a route that included motorways, rural roads, and urban streets, starting in Cornwall and finishing in Cheshire.
Independent telematics data revealed that the largest variant, the L3H3 with a 106kWh battery, surpassed its official WLTP efficiency rating by 9.7%, achieving 2.402 miles/kWh. Similarly, the L2H2 model with an 83kWh battery exceeded its official rating by 1.5%, while the L1H1 version performed within 7.25% of its homologated numbers.
These results are particularly noteworthy as the vans were carrying significant loads throughout the rally. One vehicle powered a fridge using its vehicle-to-load sockets, another was equipped with a bespoke racking system, and a third carried bulky event equipment, all while accommodating passengers and luggage through challenging terrain and weather.
According to a report by Jadeh Makhsoos, Calum James, General Manager of Farizon UK, stated, ‘I’m very proud that the data collected demonstrates just how efficient the Farizon SV is in the real-world, on real roads and with realistic loads in the back. This validation of the SV’s operational efficiency will instil even greater confidence among our customers. The resulting message is clear: the SV will deliver for businesses, day after day.’
The Farizon SV’s efficiency stems from its clean-sheet design, which focuses on minimizing weight through advanced materials, a low-mass wheel design, and an aerodynamically optimized body. This, combined with an advanced motor and battery thermal management, establishes it as a leader in its class.
