Shanghai (Gasgoo)- Recently, BYD introduced its new energy pickup, the BYD SHARK, in Panama, marking the company's first PHEV (plug-in hybrid electric vehicle) model launched in the country, according to a post on BYD's WeChat account.

Equipped with a super hybrid off-road platform for pickups, the BYD SHARK combines both oil and electric power modes to achieve impressive range capabilities. Under NEDC conditions, the vehicle boasts a combined range of 840 km, with a battery-powered range of 100 km, making it suitable for both urban commuting and long-distance travel.

The design of the new pickup draws inspiration from the agility and power of sharks, breaking away from the traditional heavy aesthetics of pickup trucks and merging cutting-edge technology with rugged strength, said BYD.

Eduardo López de Victoria, Regional General Manager of BYD Central America and the Caribbean, commented, "The pickup market in Panama has shown significant growth in recent years, as these vehicles cater to both business and personal needs across various scenarios. In this context, the launch of the BYD SHARK aligns with market demand, offering a user-friendly design, the DMO platform, and smart configurations to provide a new travel experience.”

Currently, BYD operates two dealer stores in Panama and has plans to continue expanding its sales channels to offer local consumers more convenient, efficient purchasing, usage, and after-sales service experiences, supporting the region's transition to greener transportation.

[Solid-State Battery: Nine Departments' 15th Five-Year Plan Incorporates Automotive Solid-State Batteries into Specialised Standards System, Accelerating Supply of Cutting-Edge Technology Standards] On 9 September 2026, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) and eight other departments issued the 15th Five-Year Plan for the Development of the Intelligent Connected New Energy Vehicle Industry (MIIT Joint Regulation Letter [2026] No. 305). In the task of "continuously improving the standards system," the Plan specifies the ongoing establishment and refinement of specialised standards systems for automotive chips, automotive software, automotive artificial intelligence, automotive solid-state batteries, and low-carbon development of automobiles. In the task of "accelerating the supply of cutting-edge cross-disciplinary standards," it further proposes accelerating the formulation of frontier technology standards for automotive artificial intelligence, cockpit-driving integration, solid-state batteries, distributed electric drive, fully active suspension, integrated driving units, and chassis fusion control. The Plan does not establish a separate special clause for the industrialisation of solid-state batteries; the relevant arrangements primarily focus on standards taking the lead, providing regulatory support for subsequent technological breakthroughs and large-scale application.
