CPD Bodies has announced a strategic partnership with Farizon Auto, alongside the launch of its first dedicated product developed on the platform: the Good2Go Zero Welfare Van.

Revealed today (21 April 2026) at the CV Show 2026, the new partnership sees CPD appointed as a Farizon retail dealer in the North East of England. Under the agreement, CPD will become a preferred leasing partner for the brand and a strategic partner to Farizon and its channel partners on converted panel van solutions.

As part of this collaboration, CPD will provide vehicle sales, aftersales support and technical expertise, alongside a dedicated onsite Farizon facility, scheduled to open in summer 2026.

This strategic collaboration includes work on the Good2Go Zero Welfare Van, which launches at the CV Show as a world-first for the Farizon brand. Developed for utilities, construction, infrastructure and public sector fleets, the Good2Go Zero welfare van has been engineered to address the very specific problem of how to deliver compliant, on-site welfare without the operational and environmental constraints of diesel.

Built on the Farizon SV L3H3 platform, the vehicle combines full battery-electric drive with a purpose-designed welfare conversion powered directly from the onboard traction battery, supported by integrated solar.

Cathal Doocey, chairman and owner of CPD Bodies, said: “We are delighted to announce this partnership at the CV Show today with Farizon, which forms a key part of our ongoing strategic roadmap to deliver turnkey solutions for fleets that are efficient and effective and support the decarbonisation journey.”

Calum James, general manager of Farizon Auto UK, added: “As What Van?’s ‘Converter of the Year’ for 2026, CPD boasts many years’ experience in producing premium conversions, making them an ideal partner for Farizon. Their expertise, combined with a dedicated retail and aftersales team, will play an important role in expanding Farizon’s presence and supporting customers across the region.”
