However, unlike some of its counterparts, BYD’s pickup truck might not exclusively feature an all-electric powertrain. Instead, the company hinted at incorporating its off-road-focused “DMO technology” along with a plug-in hybrid mode, offering versatility to potential buyers.
In addition to its foray into the pickup truck market, BYD is eyeing expansion into new territories, including Pakistan. Partnering with local entities, BYD aims to establish advanced electric vehicle manufacturing facilities here in Pakistan, aligning with the country’s objectives to reduce carbon emissions and adopt more eco-friendly transportation solutions for the general public.
