Farizon F3E electric cab chassis launched in Australia

Farizon, Geely's commercial vehicle brand, has launched its fourth model in Australia: the F3E cab chassis. 

From what we can see, the F3E's cab and cabin are shared with the V7E van that went on sale locally in April. The F3E is available in three body configurations: a bare cab chassis, a ute with a factory tray, or a van with a cargo box. 

The interior is kitted out with a 7.0-inch instrumentation screen, and there's a 12.3-inch touchscreen that supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Farizon says there are 15 storage areas scattered around the cabin, including a 45L compartment underneath the passenger's seat.

All versions have a 72.8kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery pack from CATL with a claimed WLTP range of 314km. It supports DC fast-charging up 100kW, and the maximum AC charging rate is 11kW.

According to the local distributor Jameel Motors, the maximum payload capacity is 1705kg, and the F3E has a 3700mm wheelbase.

We don't have full local specifications, but Chinese market models are powered by an electric motor making 110kW and 245Nm.

The Chinese website says the cargo box is 3820mm long, 1800mm tall, and 1900mm wide on the inside, and has a load lip that's 855mm high.

The F3E starts at $48,990 for the cab chassis, $50,990 with the ute tray, and $53,490 with a cargo box. All prices are before on-road costs.

There's a five-year/200,000km vehicle warranty, while the an eight-year/200,000km warranty covers the battery. The F3E also comes with five years of roadside assistance.
