Utilize New Energy Tech to Enhance the Versatility and Reliability of Pickup Trucks
The DMO Super Hybrid Off-road Platform, a core technology of BYD SHARK, stands as a revolutionary innovation, seamlessly combining rugged off-road capability and safety features with the comfort of an SUV, all while maintaining impressive energy efficiency. This technology innovatively integrates a non-load-bearing frame designed for hybrids, the world’s first longitudinal EHS drive assembly, Cell to Chassis (CTC) technology, rear-wheel drive assembly designed for pickup trucks, and double-wishbone independent suspension at the front and rear end, perfectly balancing performance and comfort.
In terms of power, BYD SHARK, with its dedicated rear-drive powertrain, EHS electric hybrid system, and a 1.5T high-power engine, reaches a peak power of over 430 horsepower, equivalent to a 4.0L V8 engine. Its acceleration from 0 to 100 kilometers is in only 5.7 seconds, far surpassing other models in its pickup category.
Moreover, harnessing the prowess of intelligent electric AWD, BYD SHARK can precisely adjust the torque distribution between its front and rear wheels in milliseconds, aligning with the optimal adhesion coefficient across diverse road surfaces. The robust power combined with precise electronic control marks a paradigm shift from conventional fuel-based AWD systems, delivering a heightened level of reliability and ease to pickup users seeking off-road adventure.
Also, the DMO technology aids pickups in transcending the conundrum of elevated energy consumption and environmental pollution. Compared to other fuel-powered pickups in its class, the BYD SHARK achieves a 40% reduction in fuel consumption, even when operating at low battery levels, reshaping the perception of pickups as high-energy consumption vehicles.
Additionally, as a plug-in hybrid model, BYD SHARK, boasting dual fuel and electric power modes, attains remarkable endurance. Garnering a comprehensive cruising range of 840 km under the NEDC conditions, alongside a pure EV endurance of 100 km, it effortlessly accommodates urban commuting and interstate travel.
Beyond its exceptional performance and driving experience, BYD SHARK prioritizes supreme safety. Integrating the ultra-high safety Blade Battery and a high-strength steel frame through CTC technology, it ensures robust protection. The Blade Battery functions both as an energy unit and a structural component, fortifying both battery and vehicle safety with multi-layered defense. Moreover, a 22% increase in body torsional rigidity significantly enhances handling and stability, bolstering reliability on challenging off-road terrain.
BYD SHARK boasts a front and rear double-wishbone independent suspension system, balancing driving agility and passenger comfort to provide an unmatched driving and riding experience. Built upon the DM super hybrid technology architecture, the motor-driven mode encompasses over 80% of the comprehensive working conditions, allowing a serene and smooth journey.
Furthermore, BYD SHARK offers enhanced expandability and more extensive modification opportunities for every user’s individual needs. With the VTOL (vehicle-to-load) function, the vehicle transitions into a "mobile power station", catering to a myriad of outdoor power demands and scenarios, thus amplifying convenience and enjoyment for pickup enthusiasts.
Leverage Smart Tech to Improve the Sophistication and Convenience of Pickup Trucks
Led by intelligent technology, BYD SHARK's intelligent cockpit can integrate with a vast and diverse ecosystem. Empowered with voice control capabilities, users can effortlessly manage driving modes, adjust air conditioning settings, control music playback, and execute other intelligent operations through simple voice commands, greatly enhancing driving convenience and comfort.
With BYD Cloud Service, users can remotely manage their vehicles via mobile devices, easily enabling personalized settings such as pre-activating the air conditioning and adjusting seat ventilation and heating. Moreover, BYD SHARK introduces NFC digital key technology, allowing users to access the vehicle without a physical key, using only a smartphone or other intelligent devices, thereby enhancing the intelligent new energy vehicle experience.
The application of the head-up display feature guarantees that drivers have constant access to crucial driving information, thus notably enhancing driving safety. Furthermore, the vehicle incorporates a 540-degree ultra-wide-angle panoramic view camera, enabling the driver to observe the surroundings and underside of the vehicle, simplifying path selection during off-roading.
