LKT Electrical Purchases first Farizon Vans from Rygor
Oxfordshire-based electrical services and EV charge‑point installation company LKT
Electrical has added two new Farizon vans to its fleet, supplied by Rygor Auto’s
Oxford branch.
Farizon UK expanded its dealer network in Q4 last year, with the addition of two new
franchise sites operated by Rygor Auto in Reading and Oxford. The partnership sees
Rygor sell and service the Farizon SV L1 and L2, as well as provide technical
support, warranty services and parts.
LKT Electrical purchased the Farizon SV L1 and SV L2 83kwh models from Rygor
Auto after approaching the dealer group to explore whether the vehicles would be
the right fit for the business.
Lee Thomas managing director at LKT Electrical, said: “I saw an online
advertisement for the Farizon SV highlighting its recent win as the all‑electric
‘Zero‑Emissions Van of the Year’, and it really caught my attention. One of the
standout features for us was the 3-pin plug outlets in the load area, which allow our
engineers to charge their power tools directly from the van while on customer sites,
eliminating the need to use customer electricity and further enhancing our customer
service level.
“Ben from Rygor got in touch following my enquiry and was incredibly helpful,
overseeing the entire procurement process from start to finish. He kept me fully
updated and was very personable, really understanding how important these
vehicles are to our business. It was also really helpful to be able to have the vehicles
financed on a hire purchase with Agilitas too.
“As a company with electric at its core, it’s important that we lead by example. The
Farizon vans look fantastic, especially liveried and ply‑lined and customers have
already been asking about them, and we recommend Rygor to everyone. We added
a SV L1, which one of our lead engineers uses daily and absolutely loves – comfort
for the team is vital for me. We also added a larger SV L2, which due to its 1,160kg
payload, gives us the flexibility to transport bigger equipment and technology,
including solar panels. These vans are perfect for our company.”
Ben Childs, van sales manager at Rygor Auto Oxford, said: “It has been a pleasure
working with Lee on the provision of these vans. Farizon is a newer addition to
Rygor’s product offering, but it is already generating a great deal of interest, and
rightly so. The vehicles look great and offer an excellent EV solution for businesses.
Our team here at Rygor Auto Oxford can not only supply but also maintain Farizon
vans, which I know LKT Electrical plans to take advantage of. I look forward to
continuing to build our relationship with Lee and the team as they grow their fleet.”
