AutoExec Summary
BYD has filed to trademark the Shark name in Australia for its first ute, as well as the King and King L names for plug-in hybrid sedans. The ute is expected to be revealed at the Beijing motor show in April, with an electric version to follow. The King name could be used for a plug-in hybrid sedan similar to the Destroyer 05. Unspecified changes have been made to the ute as a result of local testing. BYD has also filed to protect the Seagull nameplate, but the electric hatch has yet to be confirmed for a local launch.
