Hidrive now offers a purpose-built BYD Shark 6 service body range engineered specifically for the vehicle’s unique plug-in hybrid platform. Available in full canopy, part canopy and tool canopy configurations, the range has been designed to integrate with the Shark 6’s onboard power systems while providing the storage, organisation and durability required for fleet and trade applications.
With fleet operators increasingly exploring alternative powertrains, the BYD Shark 6 introduces a different approach to mobile work vehicles by combining plug-in hybrid technology with integrated vehicle-to-load (V2L) capability. Hidrive’s new BYD Shark 6 service body range has been developed to help businesses make the most of those capabilities in real-world field operations.
The BYD Shark 6 is not a conventional fleet ute. With approximately 30kWh of onboard battery capacity and up to 6.6kW of V2L output, the vehicle can supply 240V AC power directly to tools and equipment, reducing reliance on generators and auxiliary battery systems. Rather than adapting an existing service body design, Hidrive has engineered a BYD Shark 6 service body solution specifically around the vehicle’s power architecture and operational requirements.
A complete mobile workshop powered by the vehicle
The Hidrive BYD Shark 6 service body integrates with both the 240V AC and 12V DC power available through the vehicle’s onboard systems. For fleet operators, this can mean fewer standalone power systems to maintain, more usable storage space and greater capacity for carrying tools and equipment.
Each BYD Shark 6 service body configuration maintains access to V2L power outlets, charging ports and refuelling points, allowing crews to use the vehicle’s onboard power capabilities without compromising functionality. Combined with lightweight aluminium construction, organised storage and practical workspaces, the result is a mobile workshop designed to get more from the vehicle itself.
Three BYD Shark 6 service body configurations
Hidrive offers three purpose-built BYD Shark 6 service body options, each constructed from lightweight aluminium.
Full Canopy
Maximum enclosed storage, organisation and equipment protection for crews carrying a large volume of tools, parts and materials.
Part Canopy
Secure storage combined with open tray space for operations requiring flexibility between equipment storage and load carrying.
Tool Canopy
Secure toolbox storage paired with a practical tray area, well suited to trades, field maintenance, asset inspection and service applications.
All configurations are engineered to preserve access to the Shark 6’s charging, refuelling and power systems while delivering the durability and functionality expected of a purpose-built fleet fitout.
Designed around the Shark 6 platform
Available in dual-cab pickup and Dynamic Cab Chassis configurations, the BYD Shark 6 provides a platform suited to purpose-built trade and fleet applications.
Hidrive’s lightweight aluminium construction helps maximise available payload capacity while reducing unnecessary weight, ensuring more of the vehicle’s carrying capacity can be allocated to tools, equipment and operational requirements.
Unlike generic aftermarket solutions, the Hidrive BYD Shark 6 service body has been engineered specifically around the vehicle’s unique platform and onboard power architecture.
Built for fleet deployment
As organisations continue evaluating plug-in hybrid vehicles for field operations, consistency in fitment, support and service becomes increasingly important.
Hidrive’s company-owned national installation and after-sales network enables organisations to deploy consistent BYD Shark 6 service body specifications across multiple locations, supported by a single provider. Since 1993, Hidrive has manufactured and installed more than 27,000 service bodies nationally and maintains ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 certification.

Frequently Asked Questions
What service body options are available for the BYD Shark 6?
Hidrive offers purpose-built service body and canopy configurations engineered specifically for the BYD Shark 6 platform. Solutions can be configured to suit a range of operational and fleet requirements.
How does the Hidrive BYD Shark 6 service body integrate with the vehicle's power system?
The service body is designed to work with both the 240V AC and 12V DC power available through the Shark 6’s onboard systems. The fitout maintains access to vehicle power outlets, charging ports and refuelling points, allowing crews to power equipment directly from the vehicle.
What is the payload capacity of a BYD Shark 6 with a service body fitted?
Payload varies depending on vehicle variant and service body configuration. Hidrive uses lightweight aluminium construction to maximise the remaining capacity available for tools, equipment and personnel.
Can a BYD Shark 6 replace a generator on site?
The Shark 6’s V2L system provides up to 6.6kW of power and can operate many common power tools, testing equipment and lighting systems directly from the vehicle. Whether it completely replaces a generator depends on the specific power requirements of the equipment being used.
What is V2L and why is it important?
Vehicle-to-load (V2L) technology allows the BYD Shark 6 to supply power directly from the vehicle to external equipment. This enables fleets and tradespeople to run tools, lighting and other devices without requiring separate generators or auxiliary power systems.
Can the Hidrive BYD Shark 6 service body be deployed across a national fleet?
Yes. Hidrive’s company-owned installation and after-sales network supports fleet deployments across Australia, helping organisations maintain consistent specifications, fitment quality and support.
Is the Hidrive service body specifically engineered for the BYD Shark 6?
Yes. The Hidrive BYD Shark 6 service body has been designed specifically for the platform, maintaining access to charging, refuelling and onboard power systems while supporting practical fleet and trade applications.
