Oh yes it can!
The BYD on the second day of it’s launch in the UK was walking the walk on some of the toughest trails in Wales.
The engineers from BYD approached ARD Consultancy to provide a testing route, but not only a route they wanted our feedback.
We drove they questioned us constantly not for validation but real world feedback from a company and owner who operates 4x4’s in some of the harshest places on earth!
It was refreshing to be honest.
There are few tweaks to be done but not many, and these guys and girls are in a position to make it happen.

When you drive a Shark be very very careful with the right foot.

It’s super car quick 😳

Fit and finish is as good as any of the competitors. I think it is going to shake up the 4x4 Pickup market.

If you operate in a 50 mile radius or around the farm its a no brainer.

Just need a one tonne plus payload and 3500KG towing and they will be selling as fast as there cars in the UK

They listen adapt and develop!
From design to production in 2 years!

If it’s a real 4x4? Russ will have driven it and have a real world opinion!

Some weather we are experiencing!

Well we returned the two loan vehicles to Ineos yesterday, and there was a surprise the red Grenadier Trialmaster I would love to own , love the colour and a few other things.
But we all liked driving the petrol Quartermaster, nobody thought it was remotely attractive but it was very practical. The petrol engine is sweet, and we managed 23 MPG at one point and 18.7MPG when Lance and Libby was driving it🙈
Libby said put some proper wheels and tyres on it and it would transform the look of the vehicle, and a tray back?
Richard used it for all the Green laning runs.
So from Team Ardventures it was a surprise hit.
