BYD launches Shark 6 PHEV at a price of Rs19.95mn

BYD Pakistan launched on Friday its Shark 6 Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) – the country’s first PHEV in the pickup truck segment – at a price of Rs19.95 million.

BYD officials and auto sector experts believe the launch of Shark 6 PHEV will help fill the market gap, while attracting customers through its comfort, features, and luxury in comparison with other pickup trucks.

Talking to media earlier this week, PakWheels co-founder Suneel Munj said because of poor road infrastructure and for want of a proper charging network, PHEV was being launched so that commuters could use both plug-in hybrid and engine.
