When "We Deliver" (We Deliver) becomes the theme of the 2026 Hannover International Transport Exhibition, Geely Farizon's answer is: Deliver Trust, Deliver Quality, Deliver Promise.

On September 14, the 2027 International Van of the Year Award (IVOTY), known in the industry as the "Oscar" for VANs, was unveiled in Hannover. As the Chinese force highly anticipated at this exhibition, the Geely Farizon New Energy Commercial Vehicle Group showcased three star products: the Xinghan H, Super VAN, and Xingxiang V7E, and held the "Geely Farizon Afternoon Tea" themed event to present plaques to partners in the European supply chain, finance, service, and modification fields.

After multi-stage, multi-dimensional professional evaluations by the judging panel, the Geely Farizon Xingxiang V7E successfully qualified for the 2027 IVOTY Final Round. Following the Super VAN qualifying for the 2026 IVOTY, Geely Farizon became the first and only Chinese brand to qualify for the IVOTY final selection for two consecutive years. This breakthrough is not just the honor of a single product, but marks the beginning of Chinese New Energy Commercial Vehicle Brands moving from "sporadic intrusion" to "systematic qualification" on the world's most rigorous VAN competition stage.

Delivering Trust: Qualifying for IVOTY for Two Consecutive Years, Chinese VANs Stand on the Global Standard Summit

IVOTY is regarded as the "Oscar" for VANs because its evaluation is not a single performance comparison, but a multi-dimensional professional assessment covering vehicle design, loading efficiency, electrification performance, intelligent configuration, safety standards, and operational economics. Qualifying for the final selection means the product must withstand systematic testing in real European usage scenarios and regulatory systems.

The Super VAN previously won the 2026 IVOTY International Van of the Year Runner-up, becoming the first Chinese model to reach the final selection since the award was established; it also won the What Van? Awards 2026 Zero-Emission Van Award, passed the Euro NCAP 5-Star Rating with a score of 85, creating the highest score in the history of the Chinese light commercial vehicle category, with AEB, Lane Assist, and Driver Monitoring receiving multiple full marks. Now, the Xingxiang V7E has again qualified for the 2027 IVOTY Final Round and advanced to the top three, making Farizon the first and only Chinese brand to qualify for the IVOTY final selection for two consecutive years.

Farizon's qualification for the IVOTY final selection for two consecutive years indicates that it does not rely on the accidental boom of a single car, but on R&D, Manufacturing, Validation, Compliance, Service, and other full-system capabilities, beginning to establish stable trust in the European high-standard market. This trust is the core of "We Deliver Trust".

Delivering Quality: Three Models Cover Mainstream European Scenarios, GXA Architecture Backs Core Strength

Products are the first language of brand globalization. The three models Farizon exhibited correspond to European multi-functional commercial scenarios, urban distribution, and long-haul logistics, forming a complete matrix from light commercial vehicles to heavy-duty trucks.

The Xingxiang V7E is designed for large-volume, last-mile logistics. As a 3rd generation global VAN product built on the GXA Digital Intelligence Architecture, it is equipped with a 6.95 cubic meter ultra-large loading space, a WLTP combined cycle range of 328 kilometers, and an excellent load capacity of 1,373 kg. At the same time, the flexibility of the body dimensions and turning radius can easily pass through height restriction facilities, underground garages, and historic districts, precisely matching the real-world scenario needs of European urban logistics. The entire line is equipped with 14+ ADAS Intelligent Driving Assistance, 360° Panoramic Imaging, etc., making safety and intelligence standard for city distribution operations.

The Super VAN demonstrates versatile van application capabilities. Its maximum interior space can reach 13 cubic meters, easily accommodating 5 standard European pallets, meeting European logistics loading specifications; the innovative concealed B-pillar design balances convenience and safety. Relying on the Euro NCAP 5-Star Rating, IVOTY Runner-up, What Van? 2026 Zero-Emission Van Award, and GREENFLEET 2026 Light Commercial Vehicle Manufacturer Award, the Super VAN has become an important business card for Chinese VAN products in the European market.

The Xinghan H is a new energy heavy-duty truck built by Farizon for the European long-haul transport market and is the technical foundation of Farizon New Energy Commercial Vehicles. The European version of the Xinghan H is equipped with a 600kWh capacity battery, with a combined cycle range of over 500 km, supporting dual-gun fast charging; the vehicle B10 design life reaches 1.5 million km, adaptable to high-intensity, long-cycle operation scenarios of long-haul logistics. The model was developed to meet local EU regulations and end-user needs, complying with EU access requirements in three dimensions: range, operational economics, and safety standards.

Behind the three products is Farizon's committed forward engineering R&D technical foundation. Relying on the "One Geely" strategic synergy, Farizon adheres to fully in-house development, forming two core technical roadmaps: "Methanol Electric + Pure Electric", and created the exclusive GXA Digital Intelligence Architecture for New Energy Commercial Vehicles. Methanol Electric uses methanol as liquid hydrogen to directly replace traditional hydrogen fuel cell systems for power generation and supply, achieving upgrades that are more convenient, more economical, and more sustainable for energy replenishment; Pure Electric relies on ZhiCore Technology, fully in-house development of core three-electric technologies, forming two technical advantages: Intelligent Cloud Control and Core Integration.

Relying on the Geely Holding Group Central Research Institute, Farizon established China's largest New Energy Commercial Vehicle Research Institute, gathering over 2,000 R&D engineers globally. This "Shared Passenger-Commercial Heritage" technical synergy gives Farizon systematic competitiveness in dimensions such as safety, lightweighting, comfort, and intelligence, which is also the confidence behind "We Deliver Quality".

Delivering Promise: From Product Going Global to Ecosystem Going Global, Taking Root in Pioneer Zone

Europe is a highland of the global automotive industry and the pioneer zone of Farizon's overseas strategy. Farizon insists on "prioritizing difficult markets first", proactively choosing Europe, the overseas market with the highest access standards and most severe competition, as the overseas pioneer zone to refine the entire product and service system with high-standard markets, then replicating it to various places globally.

This year, Farizon has entered core European markets such as Germany and France, with the European Headquarters Farizon Mobility Europe B.V. putting into operation, and German and French subsidiaries established in succession. In markets like the UK, Denmark, and Portugal, Farizon New Energy Commercial Vehicle export scale ranks first among Chinese brands. From January to July 2026, Geely Farizon ranked first in Chinese New Energy Commercial Vehicle exports, with a year-over-year significant growth of 152.5%, and topped the industry in 33 countries and regions including the UK, Australia, UAE, and Switzerland.

More importantly, Farizon's globalization is not simply selling cars overseas, but taking value root globally. In April, Farizon's first European spare parts warehouse officially landed in Gaggenau, Germany. Relying on the "Crossroads of Europe" location advantage, it provides one-stop support for European dealers including warehousing, logistics distribution, and after-sales service, covering Europe within 1-6 working days for regular orders, and spare parts OTD to central dealer warehouse shortened by 40-60 days.

In July, the Ningbo Global International Parts Distribution Center was launched, adhering to "Passenger-Commercial Collaboration, Co-building and Shared Ownership", forming a "Domestic Hub + European Local" dual-warehouse linkage global service system with Gaggenau. Currently, Farizon's overseas business covers 70 countries globally, forming over 150 sales outlets and over 200 overseas service outlets. On August 13, the first V8E rolled off the line at the Indonesia KD Factory, and the first overseas KD factory project officially entered a new stage of scaled operations.

From product going global to ecosystem going global, Farizon is gradually applying its mature full lifecycle service system to global markets, truly making global users "able to buy, use well, and repair fast". This is both "We Deliver Promise" and a key leap for Chinese commercial vehicle brands from trade exports to localized operations.

Facing Global Zero-carbon Future: Long-termism Globalization of Chinese Commercial Vehicles

Currently, Chinese commercial vehicle exports have bid farewell to the era of purely low price and volume, forming a pattern of "Volume Expansion in Asia, Africa, Latin America; Quality Improvement in Europe". Data from the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers shows that domestic commercial vehicle exports exceeded 1 million vehicles in 2025, with new energy commercial vehicle exports of 83,000 vehicles, up 86.8% year-on-year; industry consensus believes: in the future overseas markets, the competition is no longer just vehicle parameters, but the comprehensive system capability of localized operations, technology iteration, and service ecosystem.

Standing on the global stage of the Hannover Motor Show, Geely Farizon delivered its answer sheet for Chinese New Energy Commercial Vehicles: Building a global product matrix with the GXA Architecture, solidifying the technical foundation with Shared Passenger-Commercial Heritage, constructing a service ecosystem with localized manufacturing + dual-warehouse spare parts network, and gaining global professional review recognition through IVOTY International Awards.

In the future, Geely Farizon will continue to deepen its European market layout, continue to refine green mobility solutions conforming to local scenarios, and accelerate the advancement from product going global to localized operations of brand, channel, service, and ecosystem synergy. In the wave of land transport zero-carbon transition, with systematic hard power, it will continue to convey the technical confidence of Chinese commercial vehicle brands to the world, leading the global green commercial upward growth.
