10 Jul New Super Hybrid power BYD SHARK pickup
(Oilandgaspress) 10/07/26, – BYD presents the SHARK, its first pickup and a model that brings the benefits of plug-in Super Hybrid DMO technology to a fast-expanding market across Europe. BYD’s proven Super Hybrid powertrain brings performance far in advance of what can be achieved by traditional diesel pickups, along with class-leading efficiency and the ability to travel up to 90km on electric power alone.
The SHARK is designed for customers seeking a more efficient type of pickup that can complete many journeys on electricity alone, while retaining the ability to keep up with the demands of work and active lifestyles, including longer-distance travel. With seating for five in its double-cab layout, the SHARK offers a comfortable cabin, complete with typically useful BYD technologies. And it brings Vehicle-to-Load, allowing a range of devices to be powered – for work and play – from any of two onboard power sockets.
Super Hybrid DMO features two electric motors – one on the front axle with 231PS and 310Nm of torque, and another at the rear producing 204PS/340Nm. The combined maximum system output is 436PS and 650Nm of torque, enough for a sports car-rivalling 0-100km/h acceleration time of just 5.7 seconds.
The SHARK can blend this potent performance with real-world efficiency because its DMO powertrain is designed, like DM-i, to offer an EV-first driving experience. So the 1.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine (mounted longitudinally) spends most of its time running as a generator of electricity for either the motors directly, or the Blade Battery that sits at the heart of the powertrain. On its own, it produces 150PS and 240Nm of torque.
The SHARK features a ladder-frame chassis, delivering better durability and wheel articulation – and its construction has been specifically designed to house the key components of the DMO powertrain. The Blade Battery is integrated into the platform using CTC (Cell-to-Chassis) technology, ensuring that it is properly protected in rougher conditions. CTC also significantly enhances the overall vehicle safety, since more than 50% of the construction is in high-strength steel, and the combined strength of the SHARK’s structure is 34,048Nm/deg.
At 32.2kWh, the SHARK’s Blade Battery has comfortably the largest capacity in the pickup segment – almost treble that of the only other plug-in hybrid on the European market. It ensures both outstanding pure-electric range of 55.9 miles – another new class benchmark – and excellent real-world efficiency and range. On a full charge and a full tank, the SHARK can travel 419 miles and its WLTP Weighted Fuel Consumption is just 80.7mpg. Even with the battery at its lowest level, it still returns 29.4mpg.
Recharging the battery fully from 15% SOC takes just over three hours when hooked up to a three-phase 11kW AC charger – and for faster refills, standard 55kW DC charging can take the battery from 30% to 80% in just 21 minutes.
