BYD partners with Truckman for new SHARK pick-up official accessories

• BYD partners with British-based accessories specialist, Truckman, for approved accessories range on new SHARK pick-up
• Among the accessories for UK SHARKs are a selection of load bed hardtops, tonneau covers and cross bars
• Accessories are available to order directly from today at BYD retailers

21 October 2026   BYD is partnering with pick-up accessories specialist Truckman to provide UK customers of its all-new SHARK a wide range of rugged, practical accessories.

With over 40 years’ experience in supplying accessories for pick-ups, Truckman is renowned in the industry for delivering outstanding durability and an OEM-quality fit, finish and performance. Given the popularity of the accessory market across the wider pick-up segment in the UK, the introduction of Truckman’s wide range of fitments will enable SHARK buyers to customise their vehicles to their exact requirements for business use, leisure, or both.

Among the accessories is the Grand Hardtop. Colour coded to match the vehicle, this comes with pop-out windows, rear window heating and remote central locking, adding extra weatherproof carrying capacity for the 1200-litre load bed, yet maintains a sleek appearance thanks to its curving window line. The Grand Hardtop is priced at £2,716.22^*.

For a more rugged alternative to the Grand Hardtop, customers can turn to the M-Series; thanks to its durable powder-coated finish, it’s tough enough to live up to even more demanding applications. Gull-wing side windows make it easy to load and unload from both the sides and the rear of the vehicle, and the modular design with multiple mounting options enables the M-Series to carry a range of accessories. The M-Series is priced at £2,412.00^*.

SHARK owners will also be offered a choice of two tonneau covers. One features a manually retractable cover (£1,245.60^*) while the other benefits from an electrically retractable cover which can be opened and closed remotely via a smartphone app (£1,756.80^*). Both feature an IP56 weather resistance rating and a T-slot system to fit optional cargo bars, including the Heavy Duty Black Cross Bars (£344.40^*). These bars can withstand a dynamic load of 200kg and a static load of 360kg thanks to their robust aluminium construction.

Access to items in the load bed can be made easier with the DragMat. Priced from £244.15^*, this easily slides in and out of the bed thanks to ergonomic handles, and can handle over 100kg of tools, camping equipment or appliances. The DragMat brings an added benefit of extra protection against scuffs and scratches for the load bed.

The SHARK offers class-leading performance in the pick-up class. Its DMO (O stands for Off-road) plug-in hybrid powertrain offers the responsiveness and refinement of an electric car, with extra flexibility coming courtesy of its 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine, returning up to 80.7mpg and a range of up to 419 miles on a full tank of petrol and a full battery charge. With 436PS, it’s capable of accelerating from 0-62mph in 5.7 seconds, yet its maximum torque of 652Nm offers strong performance for towing, too.

The accessories are available to order directly from BYD retailers, while Truckman will offer nationwide fitting and support, and customers also benefit from the added peace of mind of a three-year warranty.
