The Farizon SV, the incoming electric van from Geely-owned Farizon Auto, has scored a Platinum safety award from Euro NCAP.

The result places the Farizon SV among the safest vans ever tested by Euro NCAP

The eLCV newcomer scored 85 points in the upgraded Euro NCAP rating standards, placing it among the safest vans ever tested by the vehicle safety performance programme.

Moreover, the Farizon SV, due to start UK sales mid-2025, also becomes the top-ranked Chinese electric commercial vehicle in the Euro NCAP ratings, which were extended in 2021 to include commercial vans,

The Farizon SV comes with the latest safety technologies, which has helped the vehicle perform well in Euro NCAP’s tests and showcases the brand’s consistency on its user-based brand philosophy.

In the AEB active braking function test, one of the key ADAS safety domains, the Farizon SV achieved a single score rate of 95% for conditions such as stationary, low-speed driving and other related driving conditions.

Perfect scores were achieved for both Lane Support Systems (LSS) and Occupant Status Monitoring (OSM) categories.

The Farizon SV is being introduced to the UK by Jameel Motors (see our exclusive interview here) after it joined forces with Farizon Auto, the commercial vehicle division of Geely Holding Group, to distribute new energy commercial vehicles in the UK.

Andy Carroll, country manager, Jameel Motors Farizon Auto, said: “The Farizon SV was designed and engineered to meet or exceed European standards in every regard, including safety, and this result is testament to the rigorous testing and development process undertaken by the Farizon team.

“Van users and fleets of today and tomorrow can choose the Farizon SV with utmost confidence. Not only is it setting new benchmarks in safety, but several world-first advanced technologies, including its born-electric and drive-by-wire platform, means it offers more cargo space, greater range and a more convenient and comfortable driver experience.”

From its launch in the first half of 2025, three vehicle lengths and three heights will be offered in the UK, along with two battery sizes: 67kWh and 83kWh. A 106kWh battery option will follow.

Full UK specification and pricing will be announced in due course, along with a date for the start of sales.
