BYD Shark plug-in hybrid pickup development

Overview

The BYD Shark plug-in hybrid pickup has transitioned from its initial market availability to receiving international safety evaluations. Following its preparation for launch in the Chinese domestic market under the Fang Cheng Bao brand, the vehicle has achieved a five-star safety rating from Euro NCAP.

The Euro NCAP assessment reported high scores for safety assistance systems (87%), child protection (86%), and adult occupant protection (82%). However, testers noted a penalty because one side curtain airbag failed to deploy correctly during an impact test, an issue BYD is reportedly working to modify in future units.
