More than 100 fleet professionals test Farizon SV at UTAC Millbrook, praising its design, drivability, and electric innovation
London, 17 June 2025 – The Farizon SV, a large electric van designed from the ground up for commercial use, has made a striking impression on over 100 fleet industry decision-makers during a hands-on demonstration at UTAC Millbrook’s demanding test routes.
Taking part in the Company Car in Action showcase, Farizon Auto invited high-profile fleet operators to experience its fully electric SV in both L1 H1 and L2 H2 configurations. Attendees also witnessed the real-world functionality of the range-topping L3 H3 model, converted into a working barista coffee bar and powered exclusively by the SV’s advanced vehicle-to-load (V2L) technology.
Among the many fleet professionals who came away impressed was Nick Falconer, Delivery Manager – Transport Services at Avon and Somerset Police. “My first impressions of driving the Farizon SV are great,” he said. “It’s got a nice spacious cabin, great visibility, is comfortable and has a clean design inside. A lot of drivers just want to move from a conventional vehicle to something a bit different, and the Farizon enables this.”
Muiris O’Connell, Chief Financial Officer at Sovereign Partners, echoed the sentiment: “I’m interested in electrifying my fleet and the SV was much better than I expected – I came away pleasantly surprised.”
Martyn Escritt, General Manager at Essex Motor Factors, added: “The SV drove like a good family SUV, and it looks to have plenty of pallet space.”
Real-World Innovation on Display
Farizon’s L1 H1 van took pride of place in the event’s ‘Vans in Action’ zone, while the coffee-serving L3 H3 variant drew continual interest thanks to its real-time demonstration of Farizon’s integrated 240V / 3.3kW V2L functionality. The on-board power system effortlessly supported a commercial-grade espresso machine, grinder, and full-size fridge—highlighting the SV’s potential for mobile businesses and service fleets.
This hands-on capability underscores Farizon’s broader strategy: to deliver not only electric mobility, but smart, adaptable commercial tools for modern operations.
Supporting the Market With Confidence
Speaking during a fleet panel at the event, Kate McLaren, Head of Marketing and Sales Operations at Jameel Motors Farizon Auto UK, reinforced Farizon’s serious intent. She confirmed plans to open the brand’s flagship sales and aftersales dealership in London later this year, designed to anchor a growing UK dealer network.
“Being a start-up, we’re able to think about the whole vehicle in its first-, second- and third-use,” McLaren explained. “We’re building out our dealer network, and partnering with fleets, leasing companies and training providers to ensure we deeply understand electrification in the commercial vehicle space.”
Backed by partnerships with The AA for roadside support and DHL for logistics, Farizon is investing in robust infrastructure to instil trust among both fleet and retail customers.
