The rumble of engines has a new, decidedly quieter, competitor in the Philippine pickup truck scene. BYD Cars Philippines, under ACMobility, has unleashed the Shark 6 DMO, a groundbreaking electrified pickup that promises to redefine the segment. Forget the familiar growl; this is the sound of innovation.
With the Shark 6 DMO, BYD isn’t just launching a vehicle; they’re launching a statement. This is a pickup designed for the modern Filipino driver, one who demands both rugged capability and cutting-edge technology. Available in Advanced and Premium variants, the Shark 6 DMO boasts a unique blend of power, efficiency, and versatility, all wrapped in a striking design.
“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,” declared Bob Palanca, Managing Director of BYD Cars Philippines, at the launch.
And indeed, the Shark 6 DMO’s Dual Mode Off-road (DMO) technology is a game-changer. This revolutionary system allows the truck to seamlessly switch between electric and fuel power modes, adapting to any driving condition reaching a whopping 1,114KM range in a test supervised by the AAP.
Range anxiety still? It’s hybrid, you can still gas up. But if you need to, fear not as ACMobility’s Power-on-Wheels can charge your EV, wherever you are.
Imagine: a 29.6kWh BYD Blade battery paired with a 1.5T onboard generator, driving dual electric motors to produce a combined 435 PS and 650 Nm of torque. This isn’t just impressive; it’s a powerhouse, positioning the Shark 6 DMO among the most powerful pickups in its class. Aiffy Liu, Country Head of BYD Philippines, emphasized the company’s commitment to “driving the future of mobility,” hinting at an exciting year of innovative products to come.
But the Shark 6 DMO isn’t just about raw power. It’s about intelligent design. The Cell-to-Chassis framework, which integrates the Blade Battery into the vehicle’s ladder frame, enhances rigidity and safety. Its bold, muscular stance, highlighted by a commanding front grille and sleek LED lighting, commands attention. The 230 mm ground clearance and 700 mm wading depth mean this truck is ready for anything, from muddy trails to flooded city streets.
Inside, the Shark 6 DMO offers a blend of premium materials and minimalist design. Leather seats with orange accents, a 12.8-inch rotating touchscreen, and an 8-speaker sound system create a comfortable and connected driving experience. The focus on passenger comfort is evident, with reclined rear seats and ample legroom.
Safety is paramount, with a comprehensive suite of features including a 360-degree camera, adaptive cruise control, and blind spot detection. The Premium variant takes it a step further with a heads-up display, adding a touch of futuristic convenience.
With accessible pricing (starting at Php 2,098,000) and compelling launch offers, BYD is making the Shark 6 DMO a compelling proposition. The company is also offering generous warranties, giving buyers peace of mind.
