Commercial window contractor Solar Windows has taken delivery of 20 electric vans for company fitters to transport windows, doors, and equipment to locations across the country.

The new Farizon SV large vans, supplied by Waterton Motor Group, are replacing the company’s existing fleet of diesel-powered vehicles, with plans to replace the remaining 25 within a year. Solar Windows will base the vans across its three sites in Caerphilly, Devon and Nottingham.
 
With bespoke racking being fitted to the largest L3H3 vans, and on-site charging already installed at the three locations, the Farizon SVs will be put straight to work. With a range of up to 247 miles (WLTP Combined), the SV will exceed Solar Windows’ daily usage requirements.  

Carl Lewis, Managing Director and Company Owner at Solar Windows, said: “Being sustainable is an extremely important part of our business. I wanted to grow our green credentials when bidding for tenders, and electric vans are a crucial way to do this.
 
“The Farizon SV meets all of our requirements. While payload is important for our operation, the look and feel of the products are great. I was really impressed when I first looked around the vans at the InstallerSHOW, and following the loan of a demonstrator and a highly competitive deal, I knew I had found the right vans for our fleet.”
 
Calum James, General Manager of Farizon Auto UK, added: “With an impressive electric powertrain, high levels of space and capability, and very generous kit levels as standard, it’s great to see businesses like Solar Windows choose the Farizon SV for their operations. From its inception, the SV was designed and built for business, so it’s great to see them being used as intended.”
