Farizon

Farizon Auto is a new energy commercial vehicle brand under Zhejiang Geely Holding Group, established in 2016 and operated by Zhejiang Farizon New Energy Commercial Vehicle Group Co., Ltd., with headquarters in Hangzhou's Binjiang District. Farizon was China's first commercial vehicle brand focused exclusively on the new energy sector. Together with Geely Auto Group and Volvo Car Group, it forms the three core automotive business segments of Geely Holding. Its commercial vehicle roots can be traced back to a dedicated commercial vehicle project team formed in 2014.

The brand's vision is to "create intelligent connectivity and lead green commercialisation," drawing on Geely's global technology ecosystem and foundational R&D resources. Its two core technology routes are methanol‑electric and pure electric powertrains. The product range covers all commercial vehicle segments, including heavy‑duty trucks, light trucks, small and micro trucks, light commercial vehicles, and buses. The brand name "FARIZON" combines "FAR" and "HORIZON," reflecting a focus on green commercialisation—rooted in the present and leading toward the future.

Core Technologies

Dual Technology Routes: Methanol‑Hydrogen Electric and Pure Electric are Farizon's core technology strategy. The brand pursues a dual‑path approach: "pure electric for stable volume, methanol for incremental growth." Methanol‑electric technology is widely deployed across buses, heavy trucks, and intercity logistics. As a liquid new energy, methanol offers economic, environmental, safety, and energy‑security advantages. Farizon has built a full methanol ecosystem—covering green methanol production, refuelling networks, and methanol powertrain development. The newly launched Xingzhi T methanol‑electric model delivers a combined range of over 1,500 km, with a methanol‑hydrogen electric system thermal efficiency of 53%, significantly lowering per‑kilometre operating costs. It has set a full‑load range record of 1,522.9 km.

Electric Powertrain: Through its subsidiary Zhixin Technology, Farizon has fully developed the Xuanwu battery, which integrates PMS, BMS, and other components into an eleven‑in‑one assembly. It is the first to pass the new GB38031‑2025 national standard and offers the industry's longest warranty: 10 years or 800,000 km. Farizon's three‑electric system relies on intelligent cloud control and core integration to deliver high efficiency, lightweight design, low cost, and long warranty coverage. On the 800V high‑voltage platform, Farizon has entered the 2C charging era, with models supporting 2C liquid‑cooled supercharging and advancing toward 4C fast‑charging technology—significantly boosting operational efficiency for urban logistics fleets.

Intelligent Driving and Cockpit are key to defining Farizon's 3.0‑era commercial vehicles. In late 2024, Farizon released the industry's first vehicle‑satellite‑connected full‑scenario intelligent driving solution—Yulong Intelligent Driving—offering six core advantages: vehicle‑satellite connectivity, super computing power, wire‑control AI chassis, scenario customisation, safety redundancy, and business ecosystem. Vehicles equipped with Yulong Intelligent Driving began rolling out in 2025. Farizon commercial vehicles feature an end‑to‑end large‑model intelligent driving algorithm, enabling highway NOA and integrating 18 driver‑assistance functions—including ICC and PEB—reducing accident risk by over 30%. On the cockpit side, AI voice interaction and DMS driver monitoring have been introduced to commercial vehicles.

Intelligent Architecture and Drive‑by‑Wire Chassis: Based on its 3.0 architecture, Farizon has built an exclusive new‑energy commercial vehicle drive‑by‑wire chassis and central computing system, cutting wiring harness length by 40% and boosting interaction efficiency by 50%. The brand has fully deployed three major physical architectures—GXA‑V, GXA‑T, and GXA‑D—across Vans, trucks, and autonomous vehicles. In 2026, Farizon launched the industry's first vehicle‑grade autonomous vehicle, the Shentong T6, marking a key step in the convergence of autonomous driving and commercial vehicle intelligence.

Global Footprint

Farizon's global strategy is shifting from product exports to ecosystem deepening, positioning the brand as a benchmark for Chinese new energy commercial vehicles going global. By the end of 2025, Farizon's overseas footprint had reached 26 countries and regions, spanning key markets including Europe, the Middle East, and Asia‑Pacific. In Europe alone, Farizon covered 26 countries with a network of 61 sales and 69 service outlets. In the first half of 2025, Farizon ranked second in new energy commercial vehicle exports, with a year‑on‑year increase of roughly 373%, and took the top export spot in key markets such as the UK, Spain, Belgium, and Australia.

On the supply chain front, Farizon signed an agreement in London in November 2025 to establish its first overseas parts warehouse in Europe. Located in Germany—at the heart of the continent—the warehouse is scheduled for completion in Q1 2026 and will cover the entire European region, with regular orders delivered within 1–6 working days and parts delivery to general agent warehouses cut by 40–60 days. Farizon has also planned to set up subsidiaries in Germany and France in 2026, moving from trade‑based exports to deeper localisation.

In regional expansion, Farizon reached a strategic partnership with Anlijie Auto to enter the Middle East via the UAE market, marking a strategic breakthrough in the region. In Hong Kong, the first batch of Farizon Super VAN taxis has been delivered, supporting the city's green mobility transition. Farizon has also cleared multiple international certification hurdles, with several models passing EU WVTA and other strict global entry standards.

Future Outlook

Farizon is guided by its "30111" Strategy, laying out a clear roadmap for the 15th Five‑Year Plan period: reach 1 million annual sales by 2030, claim the top spot in China's commercial vehicle market and the global new energy commercial vehicle sector, and become a world‑class new energy commercial vehicle group.

To achieve this, Farizon will tap into Geely's "space‑ground integration" intelligent mobility technology ecosystem and global AI capabilities, building a foundational technology system centred on "Powertrain + AI + Architecture." With a new philosophy of "AI as standard, hardware over‑provisioned, service top‑tier," Farizon aims to set the standards for the 3.0 era of new energy commercial vehicles.

On the product front, Farizon will launch a concentrated lineup in 2026 covering light trucks, heavy trucks, vans, buses, autonomous vehicles, and off‑road applications. On the intelligence front, it plans to achieve L4 autonomous driving for trunk logistics by 2026, and L5 intelligent cockpit autonomous driving industrialization by 2030. On the global front, Farizon will focus on four core regions—North America, Europe, ASEAN, and the Middle East—while continuously strengthening its overseas parts network and localised operations.

Driven by the dual technology routes of "methanol‑hydrogen plus electric" and a steady push toward full‑value‑chain carbon neutrality, Farizon is committed to becoming a leader in the global new energy commercial vehicle transformation and a core exporter of Chinese smart logistics solutions.
