Geely Farizon Launches Farizon Xinghan G Battery-Swapping Heavy-Duty Truck

Farizon Xinghan G Battery-Swapping Truck Rolls Off Production Line

On August 29, Zhejiang Geely Farizon New Energy Commercial Vehicle Group Co., Ltd. announced the roll-off ceremony for its Farizon Xinghan G battery-swapping heavy-duty truck at the company’s Jinzhong Base in Shanxi, China. The event also included a signing ceremony involving new energy heavy-duty truck orders. The Shanxi Jinzhong Base is an important vehicle manufacturing facility serving northern China and currently produces several types of new energy vehicles, including battery-swapping, battery-electric, and methanol-electric models. The latest production milestone expands Farizon’s battery-swapping heavy-duty truck activities while supporting the company’s broader new energy commercial vehicle strategy in the regional transportation market.

CATL Battery and Chassis-Swapping Technology Support Regional Transport

The Farizon Xinghan G was jointly developed by Geely Farizon and Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Ltd. (CATL) and customized for operating conditions in Shanxi. The heavy-duty truck uses a CATL 513 kWh bottom-mounted battery and an e-axle developed in-house by Farizon. It also incorporates chassis battery-swapping technology from QIJI Energy Technology Co., Ltd., enabling the vehicle to complete a battery swap in just a few minutes. The configuration is designed to address the operating requirements of regional trunk-line transportation, where reducing vehicle downtime during energy replenishment can support more continuous commercial vehicle operations.

Geely Farizon and CATL Plan Integrated Battery-Swapping Ecosystem

Beyond the vehicle launch, Farizon and CATL plan to cooperate on an integrated industrial ecosystem covering vehicles, batteries, energy replenishment networks, financing, and operational services. The companies intend to promote large-scale deployment of chassis battery-swapping heavy-duty trucks while supporting development of the associated battery-swapping network ecosystem. This approach links vehicle production with energy replenishment and commercial operating services rather than treating battery swapping solely as a vehicle technology. At the same event, Geely Farizon signed orders totaling 5,700 new energy heavy-duty trucks with CATL, Chengfeng Freight, and several other companies, providing a substantial order base for the broader deployment initiative.
