Press Release
BYD Cars Philippines, a subsidiary of ACMobility, has officially launched the highly anticipated BYD Shark 6 DMO. A groundbreaking entry into the Philippine pickup truck market, this addition to BYD’s cutting-edge lineup promises to change the game for Filipino drivers.
Designed to meet the needs of adventure seekers and those who demand rugged capability and modern technology, the BYD Shark 6 DMO delivers an electrified experience that combines power, efficiency, and versatility. Available in two variants—Advanced and Premium—the BYD Shark 6 DMO is a pickup truck unlike any other, offering superior performance, efficiency, and technology.
“With the launch of the BYD Shark 6 DMO, we are not just introducing a groundbreaking vehicle to the Philippine market but also taking a step toward a more transformative and tech-forward future. This model blends electrified performance and rugged design, making it the perfect blend of adventure and resilience,” says Bob Palanca, Managing Director, BYD Cars Philippines.
DMO Technology: Power, efficiency, and seamless performance
At the heart of the BYD Shark 6 DMO is its revolutionary Dual Mode Off-road (DMO) technology, which gives the truck an unparalleled blend of power, driving refinement, and efficiency. This technology allows the Shark 6 DMO to effortlessly switch between electric and fuel power modes to adapt to any driving condition.
Powered by a 29.6kWh BYD Blade battery and a 1.5T onboard generator, dual electric motors help the Shark 6 DMO produce an impressive, combined output of 435 PS and 650 Nm of torque—making it one of the most powerful pickups in its class.
With this groundbreaking technology, the Shark 6 DMO seamlessly optimizes both efficiency and performance, providing an exceptional driving experience for everything from city commutes to rugged terrain. Equipped with all-wheel drive for both variants, the vehicle offers enhanced traction and stability.
“At BYD, we are dedicated to driving the future of mobility in the Philippines. The Shark 6 DMO is just the beginning of an exciting year as we continue to introduce groundbreaking products to the market. With our focus on cutting-edge, eco-friendly technology, we’re confident that these next-generation vehicles will redefine the driving experience and elevate the standards of the Philippine automotive industry,” said Aiffy Liu, Country Head of BYD Philippines.
Built for adventure: Unleashing strength and practical style
A true standout and a pickup like no other, the BYD Shark 6 DMO strikes a perfect balance between spartan strength and modern sophistication.
Built upon the Cell-to-Chassis framework, the Shark 6 DMO uses the proprietary Blade Battery as an integral part of the vehicle’s ladder frame and safety structure. This enhances the Shark 6 DMO’s rigidity and safety.
Its bold, muscular stance is highlighted by a commanding front grille that showcases the BYD mega symbol, LED headlights, and connected daytime running lights. Sleek, clean lines that enhance aesthetics and performance give the Shark 6 a strong and commanding presence. The two-tone 18-inch alloy wheels, standard for both variants, complement its modern styling by providing traction and emphasizing its off-road readiness.
Designed for both rough terrain and cityscapes, the electrified “lifestyle” pickup boasts a remarkable 230 mm ground clearance and a 700 mm wading depth, allowing it to traverse challenging landscapes with ease, from uneven off-road paths to flooded streets. This functionality, combined with robust materials, positions it as a flexible vehicle ready for any journey.
With a payload capacity of 835 kg and a towing capacity of 2,500 kg, the BYD Shark 6 DMO is well-suited for many adventures that require hauling gear and cargo.
For improved stability and ride comfort, the Shark 6 DMO is equipped with front and rear double wishbone suspension, a combination not normally found in pickups. This provides a smoother riding experience whether on straights or corners, on and off the road.
The Shark 6 DMO also offers three drive modes—Eco, Normal, and Sport—and multi-terrain modes like Sand and Mud, to adapt to various driving conditions and preferences.
Inside the BYD Shark 6 DMO, the cabin blends premium materials with a minimalist design, with leather seats accentuated by striking orange highlights affording a smooth ride. Comfort is prioritized with a 6-way power-adjustable driver seat and 4-way lumbar support in the Premium model, allowing for a customized driving position. Seat heating and ventilation for the two front seats are standard in the Premium trim.
Passenger space efficiency and comfort have been enhanced in the BYD Shark 6 DMO. Rear seatbacks in the backseat are reclined by 27 degrees. Along with the cabin’s expansive knee-room, this seating configuration ensures a more relaxing posture for rear passengers over long drives.
At the heart of the modern yet functional interior is a 12.8-inch rotating touchscreen display that seamlessly integrates with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Both variants come equipped with an 8-speaker sound system, providing an immersive audio experience that takes advantage of the cabin’s low Noise, Vehicle, and Harshness figures.
Safety and comfort for every journey
The BYD Shark 6 DMO is equipped with a wide range of standard safety features, including Cruise Control, a 360-degree View Camera, Front and Rear Sensors, Vehicle Dynamic Control, Hill Hold Control, Hill Descent System and a Tire Pressure Monitoring System. The Premium variant elevates safety further with Adaptive Cruise Control, Automatic Emergency Braking, Blind Spot Detection, Lane Departure Warning, and a Heads-Up Display, ensuring peace of mind for every driver.
“The BYD Shark 6 DMO is set to be another game-changer for BYD in the Philippines, pioneering the electrified pickup truck segment with its blend of advanced technology and off-road capabilities. Built to conquer challenging terrain while providing refined everyday comfort, it’s redefining what a pickup truck can do and setting a new standard in the segment,” added Bob Palanca.
