BYD manufacturer position

BYD sells battery-electric passenger vehicles new in New Zealand through authorised distributors. Misfuel standards focus on fluid reservoirs; PHEV variants retain a petrol tank.

Fuel system notes

  • Atto 3, Dolphin, and Seal are battery-electric without a fuel tank.
  • BYD Shark PHEV combines petrol tank and high-voltage system — follow HV lockout.
  • Contaminated workshop fluids must be disposed per HSWA 2015 and regional council rules.

Does NZIFDA cover BYD electric buses?
