BYD launched the Shark, its first pickup truck in the UK and Europe, priced from $63,000 with 56 miles of pure-electric range powered by Super Hybrid DMO plug-in powertrain.
The Shark features dual electric motors delivering 430 hp and 479 lb-ft of torque; BYD's EVP Stella Li noted the PHEV pickup market in Europe is "expanding rapidly."
The vehicle is already available in Mexico, Brazil, Australia, Chile, Peru and other markets, marking BYD's strategic entry into the UK and European pickup segment.
