How we tow a BYD Shark 6

Flatbed only, with a heavy-duty truck: it is a very heavy dual-motor AWD plug-in hybrid that must never be towed with wheels on the ground.

  • It's a hybrid: the drive motor is connected to the wheels, so towing on its wheels risks damaging the hybrid transaxle.
  • Its drive goes to all four wheels in common variants, so towing with any wheels on the road can damage the transfer case or couplings.
  • Its gearbox is automatic, CVT or dual-clutch, which isn't lubricated properly when towed with the driven wheels turning.
