Warren Buffett-Backed BYD's Cybertruck Rival To Make Global Debut Right Next Door To US Next Week
Warren Buffett-backed Chinese EV maker BYD Co (OTC:BYDDY) (OTC:BYDDF), is preparing for the global debut of its first pickup truck, the BYD Shark, in Mexico on May 14.
禾倫·巴菲特支持的中國電動汽車製造商比亞迪公司（場外交易代碼：BYDDY）（場外交易代碼：BYDDF）正在爲5月14日在墨西哥舉行的首款皮卡車比亞迪鯊魚的全球首次亮相做準備。
What Happened: As reported by CnEVPost, the BYD Shark is BYD's first new model to debut overseas in recent years. The company announced the launch on Weibo.
發生了什麼：據CNEVPost報道，比亞迪鯊魚是比亞迪近年來首款在海外首次亮相的新車型。該公司在微博上宣佈了此次發佈。
The decision to launch the BYD Shark in Mexico indicates the company's focus on foreign markets, as pickup trucks in China are classified as light vans and face numerous restrictions compared to regular passenger cars.
在墨西哥推出比亞迪鯊魚的決定表明該公司專注於國外市場，因爲中國的皮卡被歸類爲輕型貨車，與普通乘用車相比面臨許多限制。
With its larger size compared to the Toyota Hilux, the BYD Shark is built on BYD's DMO platform, introduced when the company launched the Fang Cheng Bao sub-brand for the off-road market in August 2023.
與豐田Hilux相比，比亞迪鯊魚的尺寸更大，建立在比亞迪的DMO平台上，該平台是在該公司於2023年8月爲越野市場推出方程寶子品牌時推出的。
BYD's move mirrors the actions of other local automakers like Geely, which launched its first model, the RD6 electric pickup truck, under the Radar brand in July 2022.
比亞迪的舉動反映了其他本地汽車製造商的行動，例如吉利，吉利於2022年7月以Radar品牌推出了其首款車型——RD6電動皮卡車。
Why It Matters: BYD last month revealed the name of its electric pickup truck, a potential challenger to Tesla's Cybertruck, and said it would come equipped with a plug-in hybrid system.
爲何重要：比亞迪上個月公佈了其電動皮卡車的名稱，該卡車是特斯拉Cybertruck的潛在挑戰者，並表示將配備插電式混合動力系統。
BYD's move into the pickup truck market is part of a broader strategy to diversify its product offering. This was evident when BYD unveiled its premium brand's first sedan at the Beijing auto show, directly challenging luxury automakers like Mercedes-Benz.
比亞迪進軍皮卡市場是實現產品供應多元化的更廣泛戰略的一部分。當比亞迪在北京車展上推出其高端品牌的首款轎車時，這一點就顯而易見了，這直接挑戰了梅賽德斯-奔馳等豪華汽車製造商。
A leading U.S. manufacturing lobby group has issued a stark warning, describing the entry of Chinese EV makers into the American market as a potential "extinction-level event" for the U.S. auto sector. Despite tariffs preventing Chinese automakers from entering U.S. roads thus far, the lobby group has raised alarms about Chinese firms' investments in plants in nearby Mexico, which could facilitate easier access to the U.S. market.
美國一家領先的製造業遊說團體發出了嚴厲警告，將中國電動汽車製造商進入美國市場描述爲美國汽車行業潛在的 “滅絕級別事件”。儘管到目前爲止，關稅使中國汽車製造商無法進入美國道路，但該遊說團體已對中國企業在附近墨西哥的工廠進行投資發出警報，這可能會爲更容易進入美國市場提供便利。
