Real-World Range Testing of Farizon SV: A Benchmark in Electric Vehicles

As commercial vehicles powered by new energy sources become more mainstream, merely providing specifications is no longer sufficient to satisfy discerning users. Only thorough real-world testing under extreme conditions can reliably verify true range performance. Recently, the Farizon SV electric vehicle underwent two rigorous tests: a five-day endurance trial on various road types in the UK and an altitude loop test in the Qinghai-Gansu region of China.

UK Endurance Trial: Overcoming Challenging Conditions

In early September, the Farizon SV took part in one of the world's most demanding electric vehicle range testing expeditions, the GREENFLEET Explorer EV Rally. The event, which spanned from September 1 to 5, saw a fleet of SV vehicles embark on a journey starting in Newquay, Cornwall. The route stretched across the picturesque yet challenging terrains of Devon, Somerset, Dorset, and Hampshire, including urban and rural roads, national highways, and the coastal roadways of England.

During the rally, each vehicle covered an impressive average distance of 1,043 miles (approximately 1,678 kilometers). The combination of various road conditions, inclement weather, and real-world loading demonstrated that two of the tested variants exceeded their officially certified WLTP energy efficiency ratings. The third variant, L1H1, achieved 92.5% compliance with its expectations. The premium L3H3 model, powered by a 106 kWh battery, attained a remarkable energy efficiency of 2.402 miles/kWh, surpassing its WLTP rating by 9.7%. Even while transporting heavy equipment and powering refrigeration units, the Farizon SV consistently excelled in diverse road conditions.

Calum James, CEO of Farizon Auto at Jameel Motors UK, emphasized that these real-world results compellingly illustrate the Farizon SV’s efficiency and reliability in actual commercial use cases.

High-Altitude Endurance Test: Qinghai-Gansu Region

Simultaneously, another Farizon SV model embarked on demanding altitude tests in the Qinghai-Gansu area of China. The 287-mile (462 km) route from Lanzhou to Zhangye integrated 100 km of highway driving and over 300 km of national roads characterized by considerable elevation changes and extreme weather conditions. Conducted at altitudes exceeding 4,500 meters, this test showcased the vehicle's performance in low-temperature environments.

During this test, the SV was fully loaded, accommodating three passengers and 368 kg of luggage while maintaining a comfortable cabin temperature of 26 °C. Throughout the journey, the vehicle demonstrated remarkable stability in its range performance. Despite traversing numerous stretches with harsh road conditions, the Farizon SV achieved an impressive range compliance of 82.5%, affirming its reliability in achieving long-distance travel expectations.

Comparing Performance Data

Experimental Conditions in China: Alpine climate (minimum 6 °C), altitude (total ascent of 1,500 m, peak height of 4,500 m), internal air circulation maintained throughout the route, and energy recovery in the L1 variant.

Conclusion

From the treacherous winding roads of the UK to the extreme high-altitude conditions on the Qinghai-Gansu plateau, the Farizon SV model has proven its capability in real-world scenarios across two continents, confirming its range performance meets the challenging demands presented by different geographical regions. Built on three core technologies, the Farizon SV establishes exceptional range performance that is hard to surpass. The 106 kWh CATL battery, paired with innovative next-generation CTP-S cell packaging technology, lays the foundation for this impressive range. Additionally, the SV’s ultra-lightweight architecture reduces structural weight by 13%, enhancing form efficiency and agility.

Overall, the rigorous real-world testing validates the Farizon SV as a beacon of innovation in the electric commercial vehicle sector, offering a highly effective, dependable solution for the electrification of transportation worldwide—ready to tackle any commercial journey, irrespective of the operational environment.
