Old Man with a Hat
Ran across the BYD Shark
Not for sale in the US and yet BYD has a bus factory in Lancaster, Ca.

That is the first drive evaluation I've seen by TFLTruck. It's of a Mexican-market truck, which means it is not certified for USA sales. Safety issues, usually, but I suspect those have already been planned and designed for, IF they are not already in place.
Kind of a rebuttal to the many who claim anything Chinese is "junk", but we don't know what they'll be in 5 yrs of normal use in the USA.
Quite an amazing vehicle at a mid-$50K price point. Take the "BYD" emblems off of it and park it in a large parking lot, say Home Depot and see if it draws a crowd!
Stay tuned for more developments!

I don’t remember seeing many large American trucks in Europe.

Thanks for the video link. Not a bad looking truck. Very interesting powertrain. "like a diesel locomotive". "A plug in hybrid" makes sense here.
