The Farizon H9E electric truck made its highly anticipated Australian debut at Everything Electric in Sydney, offering a glimpse into the future of commercial transport. The 100% electric truck, developed by Geely’s commercial vehicle arm, aims to set a new benchmark in the industry with best-in-class range, advanced safety features, and driver-focused comfort.
The H9E’s first public appearance signals the growing shift towards zero-emission commercial vehicles in Australia. With Jameel Motors serving as Farizon’s exclusive distributor, the truck is expected to make a significant impact in the local market.
Impressive Range and Performance
The H9E EV is an eight-tonne short-wheelbase truck, designed for urban and regional logistics. It boasts a 162 kWh LFP (Lithium Iron Phosphate) battery, offering a WLTP-rated range of 352 km—one of the best in its class. This provides sufficient range for daily delivery routes, freight transport, and city-based logistics, making it a practical alternative to traditional diesel-powered trucks.
Farizon has also confirmed that a 4.5-tonne version will be available in the coming months, catering to operators requiring a lighter-duty electric truck.
Safety and Comfort at the Forefront
Safety is a major focus for the H9E, setting it apart from many traditional trucks on the market. The vehicle is equipped with a 360-degree camera system, giving drivers full visibility around the truck—a feature that significantly enhances safety in busy urban environments.
Additionally, the H9E includes forward collision warning, helping to prevent accidents by alerting the driver of potential hazards ahead. These advanced safety technologies are designed to support both fleet operators and independent drivers, reducing accident risk while improving overall efficiency.
Comfort has also been prioritised in the design of the H9E. The cabin features a modern infotainment system, ergonomic seating designed for long-haul comfort, and a premium interior layout that makes it feel more like a passenger vehicle than a heavy truck. These features help reduce driver fatigue, making it an attractive option for companies looking to improve working conditions for their drivers.
The Future of Electric Trucking in Australia
Farizon’s presence at Everything Electric highlights its commitment to bringing practical and high-performance electric commercial vehicles to the Australian market. With logistics companies, last-mile delivery operators, and government fleets all looking for low-emission solutions, the H9E is well-positioned to meet the needs of modern transport businesses.
Jameel Motors, which also represents Farizon in 11 international markets, including the UK and South Africa, will play a key role in supporting the rollout of the H9E across Australia. While official pricing and availability details are yet to be confirmed, the response at Everything Electric suggests strong interest from local buyers.
As Australia moves towards stricter emissions regulations, electric trucks like the Farizon H9E will become an essential part of the freight and transport industry. With class-leading range, advanced safety, and driver comfort, the H9E stands as a strong contender in the country’s growing electric truck market.-
