Farizon V7E electric van to debut at CV Show with claims of a "class-leading" payload
Farizon has confirmed that it will show the Farizon V7E at the upcoming Commercial Vehicle Show in Birmingham later this month.
Van Reviewer previously reported that Farizon will bring the V7E to the UK this year, and it will expand its line-up with the debut of a new medium-sized electric van in just a few weeks.

The new V7E will sit below the larger Farizon SV in Farizon’s all-electric van line-up.
It's the Chinese brand’s first entry into the competitive medium van segment, which has seen a flood of electric van competitors join in recent years- most notably Kia with the Kia PV5 Cargo, which straddles the small and medium electric van segment.

Like the PV5, the V7E has been designed from the ground up as an electric vehicle, and it is expected to prioritise efficiency and practicality for the fleet sector.
Like its larger sibling the Farizon SV, Farizon claims the model will deliver class-leading cargo capacity, payload and driving range, although full technical specifications are yet to be confirmed.

The V7E has been developed with city use in mind, combining compact manoeuvrability with the load space expected of a medium van. Farizon says its dedicated EV platform will offer the agility needed for tight urban streets, while still maximising usable cargo volume.
Distinctive styling will include LED ‘tomahawk’ headlights, giving the V7E a recognisable light signature on the road, while its focus on accessibility and usability is expected to support multi-drop operations.
Prospective Farizon V7E buyers will be offered a choice of two battery options, with Farizon suggesting the V7E will outperform similarly specified rivals for range.
Like the larger SV, the new model is also set to feature a strong emphasis on onboard technology, including safety, connectivity and driver convenience systems.

It will, however, have to go up against formidable competition in the medium van segment, including the Ford E-Transit Custom.
Full details of the new Farizon V7E, including pricing, specifications and UK availability, will be announced at the CV Show, which takes place at the National Exhibition Centre from 21 April.
You can see the Farizon V7E at the show, on stand 5D110, alongside its Farizon's existing electric van line-up.
