Test Driving EV for future vehicles

Last month we had the opportunity to test out a brand-new EV vehicle – the Farizon SV.

In the hope of moving to an eco-friendlier fleet of vehicles in the future to reach our sustainability goals, we tested out the vehicle to see whether it stood up in performance and ease for the business.

Dave Timney, our Warehouse Manager, said the following:

'Caswells Group recently completed a one-week trial of a Farizon electric vehicle supplied by Farizon North East Ltd, and the results exceeded our expectations. Testing an EV in our real-world daily operations completely removed any hesitation we had about making the switch on some of the fleet to electric transport.

The standout feature for our team was the innovative self-weigh payload technology. This built-in system gives us real-time accuracy, ensuring the vehicle is never overloaded, keeping our drivers compliant, and protecting our fleet from unnecessary wear. During the seven-day trial, the vehicle handled our typical local delivery routes with ease, combining a smooth, quiet ride with immediate reductions in our fuel costs.

If you want to protect your business compliance and experience top-tier EV efficiency, we recommend trying a Farizon vehicle for yourself.’

There was also great feedback from our drivers who sad the van was great at picking up speed, even with large loads in the back, and the ease of use within the vehicle (once they got used to everything) was great for the delivery trips they do.
