BYD Launches Hybrid Pickup Truck in Mexico Amid US Tariff Hikes

The Chinese automaker introduces the Shark, its first-ever pickup, as it expands its presence in North America.

BYD's Shark is a plug-in hybrid targeting competitors like the Ford Ranger and Toyota Hilux.
The Shark is initially available only in Mexico, with plans for further global distribution.
BYD's entry into the pickup market comes as the US increases tariffs on Chinese EVs to over 100%.
The automaker is considering building a plant in Mexico to strengthen its foothold in the region.
The Shark features a 1.5-liter turbo engine, two electric motors, and an electric-only range of 62 miles.
