China's BYD launches new hybrid truck in Mexico

One of the world’s biggest electric vehicles makers, China’s BYD, launched a new plug-in hybrid truck in Mexico on Tuesday, May 14. It’s called the Shark and it will compete in the auto industry sector traditionally dominated by the United States and Japan. BYD’s announcement came hours after U.S. President Joe Biden announced a 100% tariff on Chinese-made electric vehicles.

Franc Contreras reports from the unveiling ceremony in Mexico City.

Damn Mexico and every other country will have better EVs then the US

[nadiawheeler]

Wonderful news. Cooperation is the only way forward

Chinese cars are all over south america now.

In fact, BYD does not consider the U.S. market at all, there are only 300 million people in the United States, but there are 8 billion people in the world, and Americans can only blame their own government for a double standard, is a country without free trade

hope them gringos won't punish our Mexican brothers for benefiting by trading with China

[wisdombites]

Let US be deprived of good quality EVs. Go China

[AplusAcombatMMASports]

Good pick for Mexico 🇲🇽 because BYD is really good car and cheaper then any electric car right now also future of electric cars

Americans will buy its expensive stuffs from homegrown manufacturers.
USA wages at $40 per hour is much higher than other countries.
Nobody will buy USA exports.
It is too expensive.
In Malaysia, the USA orange is double the cost of Egypt orange.

Indonesia too and the rest of south East Asian countries. We thank China for giving us low cost high quality cars
