Shire Link Expands EV Offering
Shire Link is a family-run business that has been providing commercial and private vehicle hire services for over 45 years. Having tested similar-sized electric vans, including the Ford E-Transit and Maxus eDeliver 7, the company selected the Farizon V7E for its class-leading range, payload and value. The latest addition to the hire fleet will be available to rent immediately, and is forecasted to cover between 15,000 and 20,000 miles a year.
This is our first fully electric van, and we see it as the starting point for expanding our EV offering. Over time, we aim to introduce more fully electric vehicles to gradually replace our existing diesel fleet. We’re really looking forward to seeing our own customers experience the benefits of driving an electric van. I don’t doubt the word will quickly spread.
...says Matt Magee, Managing Director at Shire Link.
Built for Business
The V7E has been built for business, so it’s great to know that the first model to hit the streets is going to be put hard to work carrying out a wide range of duties. This is the first step in what I’m sure will be a successful rollout of vans across the country.
...commented Calum James, General Manager at Farizon Auto UK.

Launched at the Commercial Vehicle Show in April, the city-focused V7E delivers a class-leading cargo space of 6.95 m3, a payload of up to 1,338 kg, and an ultra-low loading height of just 500 mm.
