DragonSea Deploys 37 Farizon Electric Vans to Expand UK Removals Fleet

Chinese logistics specialist DragonSea took delivery of 37 Farizon SV electric vans to handle door-to-door residential moves across the United Kingdom.

The two-year lease deal equips the operator with battery-powered commercial vehicles tailored for cargo arriving from China. Broker Driveway Vehicle Solutions structured the transaction, with Pentagon Farizon Derby supplying the vehicles directly.

Payload specs and route range

Each SV L1H1 van runs on a 93 kWh battery pack delivering an operating range of up to 234 miles (377 kilometres) under WLTP testing. Cargo capacity reaches 6.95 cubic metres alongside a maximum payload rating of 1,265 kilograms and a 550-millimetre loading height.

Those specifications allowed DragonSea to switch heavy household freight to electric traction without sacrificing daily operating radius on domestic transfer routes. Farizon Auto UK head of sales Zoe Tonks noted the model combines cargo volume with driver assist functions suited for dense urban removals.

Chinese commercial EVs target European fleets

Chinese commercial vehicle manufacturers are pushing rapidly into western European fleet networks, using competitive battery capacities and pricing to displace legacy diesel models. For cross-border logistics providers managing Asian trade flows, deploying Chinese-built electric vans in overseas destination markets creates fleet consistency across both ends of the supply chain.

Farizon expanded its British lineup earlier this year by introducing the V7E medium electric van in Birmingham, alongside refreshed Core trim packages for the SV platform. Fleet operators will watch real-world battery degradation and second-hand residual values as these two-year lease terms approach renewal in 2028.
