JERUSALEM, April 7 (Xinhua) -- Chinese automaker Geely officially launched its Farizon electric commercial vehicle brand in Israel on Monday at a festive event in Ariel Sharon Park near Tel Aviv.

The company will initially offer the Farizon SuperVan (SV) model in Israel through Geely's official importer, Geo Mobility.

This large space commercial model offers a range of up to 398 km and a maximum speed of 135 km/h, equipped with a battery ranging from 83 to 106 kWh, depending on the model version.
