The Farizon SV shows its range in extreme tests in China and Europe

Although many brands come from China, in reality only a few industrial groups set the commercial pace in Europe. Farizon is one of these brands, but it actually belongs to the Geely Group, like other brands sold in Europe. One of the models being tested under extreme conditions has been the Farizon SV, which has been subjected to these demanding tests, both in its country of origin and on our continent.

One of them was a five-day multi-terrain test in the United Kingdom, while the other was a high-altitude endurance test on the Qinghai–Gansu route in China. The first is called the GREENFLEET Explorer EV Rally, one of the most demanding range validation tests in the sector.

Over five days, all participating vehicles covered an average of 1,678 kilometres. The route runs through urban, rural, motorway and secondary road areas with variable weather conditions, including persistent rain and moderate temperatures.

Two of the versions used in the test exceeded the official range figures certified under the WLTP cycle. The L1H1 variant reached 92.5% of these figures in real-world loading and professional use situations. All of this points to energy efficiency that meets, and even exceeds, what is expected in real working conditions.

A demanding test in China

At the same time, in China another endurance test was carried out on the Qinghai–Gansu plateau. This route is 462 kilometres long, from Lanzhou to Zhagana. It runs through a combination of motorways and national roads and presents an altitude variation of 1,500 metres, with a maximum altitude of 4,500 metres above sea level.

The vehicle travelled loaded, with three occupants and 368 kg of cargo, with the air conditioning set to 26ºC throughout the journey. The Farizon SV achieved a range compliance rate of 82.5%, with outstanding reliability and stability under extreme conditions.

To meet these objectives, the Farizon SV relies on three key technological pillars:

• Advanced propulsion system. The CATL battery offers a capacity of up to 106 kWh and next-generation CPT-S technology.
• Ultra-lightweight architecture, which reduces the structural weight of the vehicle by 13%, improving energy efficiency.
• Intelligent energy management, optimised for different usage scenarios and climate conditions.

Having passed these two tests, the Farizon SV has proven to be a strong alternative in the electric commercial vehicle market in our country. It currently has seven official sales points: Madrid, Málaga, Tarragona, Zaragoza, Pamplona, Gandía and Seville.
