=====================

澳大利亚是对全球各个汽车品牌，都不设任何限制，只要满足各种安全标准和各种排放标准即可，因此可以算是，当前，全球汽车公司，最公平的市场。

澳大利亚总人口为2682万，比亚迪鲨鱼的首月订单超过4000台。

如果，按比例放大到美国的3.3-3.5亿人，相当于发布后的首月订单超过50000台。

Shark 6的售价为57900澳元（不含上路成本），低于竞争对手如福特Ranger XLT双涡轮增压双驾驶室和丰田HiLux SR5。Shark 6由一台1.5升涡轮增压四缸汽油发动机、两个电动机和一个29.58千瓦时的磷酸铁锂电池组驱动，总输出为321千瓦和650牛米，电动驾驶范围为100公里（NEDC），混合动力模式下燃油经济性为每100公里2.0升。尽管Shark 6的动力和扭矩超过大多数竞争对手，但其牵引能力为2500公斤，低于大多数Ranger型号的3500公斤。

(当前，中国制造的汽车，含传统燃油车和新能源车，在澳大利亚市占率超过17%；剔除其中的美国品牌和日本品牌，至少还有，大约13%是中国品牌的市占率，近两年的年均同比增长率都超过30%，势头未减。)

BYD''''s Australian distributor says it has now recorded close to 4000 orders for the new Shark 6 plug-in hybrid (PHEV) ute.

EVDirect says prospective customers – as well as those who have already ordered Shark 6s – can register their interest to test-drive the ute at "select" BYD Experience Centres.

While there are already vehicles on the ground being used for events, EVDirect says the first ''''fleet'''' of Shark 6s will arrive in December.

More examples will dock in January 2025, with customer deliveries beginning later that month.

Orders opened on October 29, 2024, and within minutes the BYD Australia website went down.

A total of 800 orders were placed in that short space of time, and though the site was down for more than three hours the company still logged a total of 1400 orders within the first 12 hours.

The company had previously confirmed it would bring in 2000 examples of the ute, and late last month confirmed it was investigating whether it could bring an additional 1000 examples in this first batch.

We''''ve contacted the company to confirm whether there have been any changes to supply numbers.

It''''s coming to Australia in just one version, priced at $57,900 before on-road costs, undercutting the likes of the Ford Ranger XLT Bi-Turbo dual-cab ($63,640 before on-roads), and the Toyota HiLux SR5 with V-Active Technology ($63,260 before on-roads).

Powering the Shark 6 is a turbocharged 1.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine, plus two electric motors (one on each axle), and a 29.58kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery pack.

The powertrain produces total outputs of 321kW and 650Nm, sent to all four wheels.

BYD claims an electric-only driving range of 100km (NEDC), with fuel economy as low as 2.0L/100km when running as a hybrid with the battery charged.

While it has more power and torque than almost all of its dual-cab rivals, and is quicker to 100km/h than even the Ford Ranger Raptor, the Shark 6 has a braked towing capacity of just 2500kg – down on the 3500kg figure of most Ranger models, including the upcoming PHEV.
