Farizon on top form for fleet sector at CCIA
The updated-for-2026 Farizon SV and new V7E vans have impressed the UK’s leading fleet professionals on the tracks of UTAC Millbrook in Bedfordshire, as the brand continues to disrupt the light commercial vehicle sector.
Featuring alongside other OEMs as part of Company Car in Action, Farizon offered fleet buyers the chance to test drive the Farizon V7E and L1H1 and L3H3 variants of the SV over two days.
Having had the chance to experience the V7E for the first time, Rob Anderson at Mitie, said: “The V7E is very capable and feels like a car to drive, with good power delivery. I think van drivers will be very happy. The interior quality is also great and has been designed with the driver in mind, with comfortable seats and key controls falling easily to hand.”
These feelings were echoed by Lauren Berry from Riverside Housing Association, who said: “The Farizon V7E provided a very smooth drive that isolated bumps in the road well, and cargo space was also impressive. Our current fleet is made up of diesel and petrol vehicles, and the V7E compared brilliantly. Other manufacturers certainly have something to worry about.”
Dionne Hanlon from cap-hpi, added: “The V7E has a slight competitive edge for us by being a little smaller and ideal for cities and last-mile delivery duties. I found it highly manoeuvrable, and it handled the city course with ease.”
Further positioning Farizon as a rising star in the sector, Calum James, General Manager at Farizon Auto UK, said: “Since launching Farizon in the UK with the SV large van last year, we’ve continued to see strong interest from companies looking to electrify their fleets. We recently signed our first large fleet agreement with commercial kitchen equipment supplier, MCFT, who placed an order for 20 SV vans. With the recent launch of V7E, we’ve expanded our offering to fleets across the country and are seeing strong interest across the range.”
The Farizon V7E is available from £28,000 plus VAT, while the larger SV starts from £39,000 plus VAT, (both excluding delivery, ZEVG, first registration fee and VED). Both models deliver a compelling blend of class-leading cargo carrying practicality, real-world range and performance, and optimum driver comfort and convenience.
The Farizon SV was also a 2026 International Van of the Year finalist, and has won Trade Van Driver Awards for ‘Best Technical Innovation’ and ‘Best Large Zero Emission Van’.
