BYD (HKG: 1211, OTCMKTS: BYDDY) will make the world debut of its first pickup truck model, the BYD Shark, in Mexico in a week's time, and will be the first time in the last few years that it has allowed a new model to debut first in an overseas market.
比亚迪（HKG：1211，OTCMKTS：BYDY）将在一周后在墨西哥全球首次亮相其首款皮卡车型比亚迪鲨鱼，这将是过去几年来它首次允许新车型在海外市场首次亮相。
The BYD Shark will make its debut in Mexico on May 14, ushering in the global era of new energy pickup trucks, the company said today on Weibo.
比亚迪鲨鱼今天在微博上表示，比亚迪鲨鱼将于5月14日在墨西哥首次亮相，开启新能源皮卡的全球时代。
"BYD Shark, Hybrid Power, Wild Spirit," reads a poster by BYD on Weibo.
比亚迪在微博上发布的海报上写道：“比亚迪鲨鱼、混合动力、狂野精神”。
Having the BYD Shark debut in Mexico means the model will be aimed primarily at overseas markets, not its home market.
比亚迪鲨鱼在墨西哥首次亮相意味着该车型将主要针对海外市场，而不是其国内市场。
In China, pickup trucks are categorized as light vans and are subject to a lot of restrictions compared to regular passenger car models, including sedans, SUVs and MPVs.
在中国，皮卡被归类为轻型货车，与包括轿车、SUV和MPV在内的普通乘用车车型相比，受到许多限制。
This could be one of the reasons why BYD is only considering a pickup truck after launching dozens of passenger cars.
这可能是比亚迪在推出数十辆乘用车后才考虑皮卡车的原因之一。
The BYD Shark is positioned as a mid-to-large size model, exceeding the size of the Toyota Hilux, according to information previously obtained by CnEVPost.
根据CNEVPost先前获得的信息，比亚迪鲨鱼被定位为中大型车型，其尺寸超过了丰田Hilux的尺寸。
The model will be built on BYD's DMO platform, where O stands for off-road and DM stands for dual mode, according to information announced by BYD last month.
根据比亚迪上个月公布的信息，该车型将建立在比亚迪的DMO平台上，其中O代表越野，DM代表双模式。
The NEV maker revealed the DMO platform when it unveiled the Fang Cheng Bao sub-brand on August 16, 2023 for the off-road market.
这家新能源汽车制造商在2023年8月16日为越野市场推出方程宝子品牌时透露了DMO平台。
Among local automakers, Geely officially announced the Radar brand on July 12, 2022 along with its first model, the RD6 electric pickup truck. The model went on sale in China in October 2022, with first deliveries in late November 2022.
在本地汽车制造商中，吉利于2022年7月12日正式发布了雷达品牌以及其首款车型——RD6电动皮卡。该车型于2022年10月在中国上市，并于2022年11月下旬首次交付。
Radar has not done a lot of marketing for the RD6 in China and seems to be focusing its efforts on international markets, having launched the RD6 in Laos last November.
雷达去年11月在老挝推出了RD6，在中国推出了RD6，因此似乎将精力集中在国际市场上。
