BYD will also be hosting a tech tour at the Ironman race, with the Shark 6 DMO front and center. The pickup will be dressed in Ironman-themed decals, which should look fitting given its rugged design. With the display, athletes and fans can get a closer look at what BYD has to offer, especially in cleaner mobility.
