- Geely-backed Farizon becomes the first new-energy commercial vehicle brand to reach the milestone
- The company is expanding overseas as Chinese electric trucks enter global logistics markets
Farizon (远程新能源商用车), Geely Group’s new-energy commercial vehicle arm, rolled off its 600,000th vehicle on August 10, marking a milestone as the company seeks to expand beyond China and challenge global truck makers in electric logistics.
The milestone vehicle, a European version of the Xinghan H flagship heavy-duty truck, was completed on August 10.
Known as Hometruck abroad, Farizon said it is the first new-energy commercial vehicle brand globally to reach 600,000 units.
The company has ranked No. 1 in China’s new-energy commercial vehicle market for four consecutive years since entering the sector a decade ago.
Taking Chinese electric trucks overseas
The significance of the 600,000th vehicle lies less in the number itself than in what it represents: China’s electric commercial vehicle makers moving into some of the world’s most demanding markets.
The Xinghan H European version was developed specifically for EU regulations and logistics needs. It features a 600-kWh battery, a driving range of up to 500 kilometers, dual-gun fast charging and a B10 design life of 1.5 million kilometers.
The model’s delivery marks Farizon’s entry into Europe’s long-haul trucking market, one of the most competitive segments in the global commercial vehicle industry.
Building a global service network
Farizon’s overseas expansion has accelerated. In the first half of 2026, the company ranked first in China’s new-energy commercial vehicle exports, with shipments rising 123% year-on-year.
The company ranked No. 1 in export sales in 28 countries and regions, including the UK, Australia and the United Arab Emirates.
In Australia, Farizon’s electric vans became the top-selling pure-electric van model in the first half of the year, with a 25% segment share.
In Brazil, the company held a 28% share of the pure-electric light commercial vehicle market, while its vans ranked first in Hong Kong with a 27% market share.
Behind the overseas growth is an expanding after-sales infrastructure. In April, Farizon opened its first overseas spare-parts warehouse in Gaggenau, Germany, allowing routine parts delivery across Europe within one to six working days.
In July, the company launched a global spare-parts distribution center in Ningbo, China, linking domestic logistics capabilities with its European warehouse.
The dual-warehouse system reflects a broader shift from exporting vehicles to building localized service networks — including parts supply, maintenance and customer support — overseas.
Chasing a global leadership goal
Farizon’s expansion is part of Geely’s broader push into electrified commercial transportation.
Under its “30111” strategy announced in late 2025, the company aims to sell 1 million commercial vehicles annually by 2030 and become both China’s largest and the world’s leading new-energy commercial vehicle company.
As global logistics operators accelerate fleet electrification, Farizon is betting that battery-powered trucks and localized service networks can become a new competitive advantage for Chinese manufacturers.
