CPD announces Farizon partnership and launches first dedicated Good2Go Zero welfare product line
Stockton-on-Tees-based CPD Bodies has today announced a strategic partnership with Farizon Auto, alongside the launch of its first dedicated product developed on the platform: the Good2Go Zero Welfare Van.
The partnership, announced today at the Commercial Vehicle Show at the NEC, 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 on-site Farizon facility, scheduled to open in summer 2026.
This strategic collaboration includes work on the innovative Good2Go Zero Welfare Van, which will be launched at the Commercial Vehicle (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.
Commenting on the strategic partnership, 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.”
