2026 Sichuan Ganzi Mountain Culture & Tourism Festival Takes Place in Daofu County

Wed, 29 Jul 2026 07:42:00 +0700

DAOFU, CHINA - Media OutReach Newswire - 28 July 2026 - On July 24, the 2026 Sichuan Ganzi Mountain Culture & Tourism Festival opened at Yuke Grassland in Daofu County, Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province, China.

Featuring a diverse range of activities, including nomadic culture performances, intangible cultural heritage (ICH) exhibitions, and folk customs experiences, this year's festival showcases the region's unique nomadic culture with modern cultural tourism development. The event has attracted numerous visitors eager to experience the charm of grassland culture.

The opening ceremony transformed Yuke Grassland into a natural stage. Local herders drove cattle across the vast grasslands, carrying black yak-hair tents traditionally used by Kham pastoralists and holding urdah-traditional stone-throwing ropes used by Tibetan herders for livestock management. The scenes vividly recreated the millennia-old nomadic lifestyle of Kham communities, who have long followed seasonal migration routes in search of water and pasture.

Behind them came a grand procession of heavy cavalry and the legendary Gesar riders. Riders in traditional attire galloped across the grassland, valiant and heroic in bearing. A vibrant parade of ethnic costumes then took the stage, showcasing pulu-a traditional Tibetan handwoven wool textile-alongside modern tailoring designs, highlighting the blending of ancient culture and modern fashion.

"As the scenes of nomadic migration gradually unfolded before my eyes, a long-lost yearning for a simpler pastoral life suddenly welled up within me," said Mr. Zhang, a visitor who traveled from Beijing especially for the event. "My whole family loves the grassland lifestyle in Daofu. It is something you cannot experience in the city."

The Sichuan Ganzi Mountain Culture & Tourism Festival has been successfully held for seven editions to date. Running through July 26, this year's festival features eight major events, including the opening ceremony, the Ganzi 1,000-person ICH livestream showcase, and the fashion-inspired Guozhuang gala. Moreover, a range of grassland market activities-including ICH workshops, local produce exhibitions, local food tasting, and music-themed leisure gatherings-are being held in parallel, offering visitors an immersive cultural experience.

Daofu County, where this event took place, is situated in northwestern Sichuan Province, with an average summer temperature of around 24?C. The county boasts a remarkable blend of natural landscapes-including Yala Snow Mountain, Stone Forest Park, Yuke Grassland, alpine meadows, and Tianlong Lake-and cultural heritage, such as Kham traditions and the Highland Silk Road. From July 2021 to June 2026, Daofu County received a cumulative total of 10.4123 million tourists, generating nearly 11.454 billion yuan in tourism revenue.

McVitie's owner sets 2030 target to double sales of products with a better nutritional balance

Wed, 29 Jul 2026 07:39:00 +0700

LONDON, July 28, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The company behind McVitie's, GODIVA and ?lker has pledged to double the volume of products it sells with lower levels of sugar, salt and saturated fat, and higher levels of nutrients such as fibre and protein, by 2030.

Snacking giant, pladis, said it would achieve the target by improving existing recipes without compromising taste, launching new products and expanding successful ranges into more markets.

The move comes as consumers increasingly seek snacks that fit their lifestyle and wellbeing goals without sacrificing taste and enjoyment. pladis believes the move will provide greater choice across its portfolio in response to those changing expectations.

Dr Jennifer Moss, Chief R&D Officer at pladis, said:

"People don't buy biscuits and chocolate because they're looking for a lecture on nutrition - they buy them because they enjoy them. Great taste will always come first.

"What is changing is that consumers increasingly want more choice. They want products that fit their lifestyles and wellbeing goals, but they still expect the same great taste.

"We believe the brands that succeed in the future will be the ones that can deliver both. That's why we're committed to giving consumers more options while continuing to provide the enjoyment that has always been at the heart of our brands."

To support the target, pladis has developed a new global nutrition framework that will guide how products are developed, reformulated and marketed across its portfolio.

Built by the company's scientists, the framework draws on internationally recognised nutrition systems, including France's Nutri-Score, Australia's Health Star Rating and the UK's Nutrient Profile Model (HFSS).

The framework is applied across all pladis products and takes a balanced view of nutrition. It assesses both nutrients consumers are encouraged to have more of, such as fibre and protein, and nutrients many are looking to reduce, including salt, sugar and saturated fat.

Today, products identified by the framework as offering a better nutritional balance account for around 10 per cent of pladis' sales volume. The company has set an ambition to double that volume by 2030.

This move comes on the back of long-standing work by pladis to evolve its portfolio. The company has already removed 676 tonnes of sugar from recipes in the UK - the equivalent of around 169 million teaspoons. In the Netherlands, it has revamped its Sultana fruit biscuits by reducing sugar and salt and increasing fibre. Reformulation efforts over the past decade have also seen ?lker remove 549 tonnes of fat from its products alongside reducing sugar and salt.

This pledge forms part of Happy People, Happy Planet, pladis' newly launched global sustainability strategy.

pladis employs around 16,000 people and sells products in more than 110 countries.

For any press queries, please contact the pladis press office on 44 151 230 4899 / press.office@pladisglobal.com

Notes to editors:

All targets based on a 2023 data baseline.

Bitget Supports UNICEF Game Changers Coalition Expansion Into Bangladesh, Indonesia, and Bolivia

Wed, 29 Jul 2026 07:31:00 +0700

VICTORIA, Seychelles, July 28, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The UNICEF Game Changers Coalition (GCC) now expands into Bangladesh, Indonesia, and Bolivia. The program, which delivers future-ready skills including digital education, AI and financial literacy to young people through video game development, is supported by Bitget, the world's largest Universal Exchange (UEX) as part of a three-year partnership launched in 2025.

The expansion brings the initiative's footprint to 11 countries globally, continuing its broader effort to improve access to digital education across emerging markets. GCC has so far been implemented across Armenia, Brazil, Cambodia, India, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, Morocco, South Africa, and the newly added Bangladesh, Indonesia, and Bolivia.

Bitget joined the coalition in 2025 as part of a three-year collaboration with UNICEF to support financial literacy, including blockchain, and digital skills for young people, especially girls, in emerging economies. Through the partnership, Bitget contributes educational resources including blockchain-focused learning content and access to mentors from the Web3 ecosystem to support GCC programming.

The coalition has expanded rapidly over the past year, reaching more than 642,000 young people, parents, and teachers globally, with girls accounting for 52% of participants. More than 20,000 video games have been created by young people through the GCC curriculum.

Bitget's team witnessed the program's real impact during Cambodia's National Game Jam in December 2025, where over 1,000 young participants took part in a 48-hour challenge to create socially impactful video games. Cambodian teams had won four of seven categories in the previous global UNICEF Game Jam, a 40-day initiative through which young creators in emerging economies built original video games with mentorship sessions and a self-paced online course. "In Cambodia, UNICEF gave us a glimpse into the youth's aptitude. From coding garbage segregation to healthy eating, they built a range of real-world creative games," said Simran Alphonso, Head of Public Relations at Bitget. "With strong teaching skills of teachers, we're positive about our upcoming course and future endeavors which will support these leaders of tomorrow," she added.

"One of the reasons this partnership means so much to me is because I've seen firsthand how quickly young people thrive when they're given the right opportunities," said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget. "I still teach part-time at HKUST because it keeps me connected to what the next generation needs. Seeing UNICEF's Game Changers Coalition expand into three new markets means many more young people, especially girls, will have the chance to build those skills early. That's incredibly meaningful to me."

"Expanding the Game Changers Coalition into Bangladesh, Indonesia, and Bolivia is a milestone in our mission to equip young people, especially girls, with 21st century STEAM and financial skills to shape the future. With partners like Bitget, we're not just scaling education; we're fostering inclusivity, building a pipeline of women leaders, and unlocking economic empowerment across emerging markets," said Sandra Visscher, Executive Director of UNICEF Luxembourg.

GCC addresses the $15B annual economic loss from girls' digital skills gaps in low/middle-income countries. To learn more, visit: www.unicef.org/innovation/gender-equality/game-changers-coalition.

Psalion Backs Beezie in $4 Million Round to Reinvent How People Buy and Collect

Wed, 29 Jul 2026 07:23:00 +0700

SINGAPORE, July 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Psalion VC Fund III today announced its investment in Beezie, leading a $4 million funding round in the fast-growing innovative commerce platform that combines ownership, anticipation, discovery, and liquidity to turn transactions into experiences.

Beezie is not a marketplace - it is an anticipation engine. Users pull physical assets from a gamified pool, discover what they've won, and decide instantly: keep it, or swap it back for 90% of the fair market value. Every physical collectible receives an on-chain digital twin, making it programmable, tradeable, and composable across verticals.

Since launch, Beezie has facilitated more than $170 million in GMV (Gross Merchandise Value) and surpassed $85 million in revenue year-to-date - growing over 50x in nine months. The platform has attracted 30,000+ active users since January 2026.

The round follows strong community interest - Beezie's late June raise on Echo, targeting $250,000, sold out in 10 minutes and was capped at $1 million within 24 hours.

"Beezie is exactly the kind of company our thesis is built around - a real consumer product, real revenue, and blockchain quietly doing the heavy lifting underneath. This is what web2 meeting web3 actually looks like in practice," said Tim Enneking, Managing Partner of Psalion.

The investment will support Beezie's continued expansion across collectibles, luxury, and entertainment markets, including inventory acquisition and geographic growth, as the platform scales its consumer base globally.

"At its core, Beezie is about making consumers feel something every time they transact. We've built an engine that combines ownership, anticipation, discovery, and liquidity in a way traditional commerce platforms simply can't. We're thrilled to partner with Psalion as we continue scaling that vision across collectibles, luxury, entertainment, and beyond," said Andrea Miele, Founder & CEO of Beezie.

About Beezie

Beezie is building the next generation of consumer commerce for physical assets, by turning transactions into experiences. Starting with trading cards and expanding into luxury, entertainment, and additional categories, Beezie enables consumers to discover, own, trade, and sell physical assets through a single platform. Beezie's vision is to become the consumer infrastructure layer for physical assets, connecting brands, resellers, and consumers through engaging commerce experiences.

About Psalion VC Fund III

Psalion VC Fund III is an early-stage venture fund and part of Psalion, a global digital asset investment manager with decades of experience across traditional finance, asset management, and blockchain markets. The fund is focused on companies building at the intersection of web2 and web3 - including infrastructure, middleware, trade finance, decentralised finance, and consumer applications - and is managed by Conduit Asset Management Pte.

Psalion Closes Its Largest Fund Yet to Back the Next Wave of Blockchain Adoption

Wed, 29 Jul 2026 07:17:00 +0700

SINGAPORE, July 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Psalion today announced the launch of its third and largest venture fund to date - a USD 50 million vehicle aimed at the next wave of blockchain adoption.

The fund is structured as a Singapore-domiciled Variable Capital Company (VCC), managed by Conduit Asset Management Pte. Ltd. (CAM), which is licensed and regulated by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS).

The new fund aims to potentially back founders bringing blockchain into the real economy across infrastructure, middleware, trade finance, real-world assets (RWA), stablecoins, and decentralised finance (DeFi), focusing on pre-seed and seed stage companies, with an eye on consumer applications where web3 rails are quietly reshaping how people own, trade, and interact with assets.

"Crypto was the thesis. The traditional financial system was the antithesis. What we're investing in is the synthesis - where web2 businesses run on web3 rails," said Tim Enneking, Managing Partner of Psalion.

Psalion's previous two funds both launched in down markets - and the firm has no intention of changing that habit.

"Some of the best opportunities arise in down markets. Valuations are more reasonable, founders are more focused, and the builders who show up are in it for the long term," Enneking added.

About Psalion

Psalion is a global digital asset investment manager focused on early-stage venture capital, yield strategies, and digital asset lending. Led by pioneers of the digital asset industry with decades of experience across traditional finance, asset management, and blockchain markets, Psalion serves institutions, family offices, corporate treasuries, allocators, and sophisticated investors seeking risk-aware access to digital asset opportunities.

Philips delivers solid comparable sales growth and margin in Q2; reiterates full year comparable sales growth outlook; Adjusted EBITA and free cash flow outlook increased to reflect US tariff refund

Wed, 29 Jul 2026 07:06:00 +0700

July 27, 2026

Q2 2026 Group performance

Comparable order intake declined 1%, due to timing of certain large orders

Group sales of EUR 4.4 billion, reflecting 4% comparable sales growth

Income from operations of EUR 609 million, including US tariff refund benefit of EUR 186 million

Adjusted EBITA margin increased to 16.4%, including US tariff refund benefit of effectively 4.2%

Operating cash flow of EUR 376 million, with free cash flow of EUR 222 million including receipt of US tariff refund

2026 comparable sales growth outlook reiterated; Adjusted EBITA and free cash flow outlook updated to reflect US tariff refund

Roy Jakobs, CEO of Royal Philips:

"We delivered another solid quarter with comparable sales growth of 4%, driven by all business segments, and strong disciplined execution within an uncertain macro environment. Customer demand for our innovations remains healthy, with certain large orders in North America shifting into the third quarter, while Europe delivered strong double-digit order growth.

Our plan continues to gain traction, creating value through focused segment strategies, differentiated platform innovations, commercial excellence and disciplined execution. We launched SmartIQ for our Azurion image-guided therapy platform and received several new regulatory clearances for our AI-powered innovations. Our teams around the world are focused on delivering better care for more people.

We largely completed the US tariff refund process during the quarter and continue to actively manage the broader macro environment, including inflation. Our productivity program is on track, helping to largely offset these pressures. We are strengthening our supply chain resilience as we continue to put quality at the heart of our operations."

Group and segment performance

Comparable order intake declined 1%, with growth in Diagnosis & Treatment offset by the timing of certain large Connected Care orders shifting into the third quarter. Comparable sales increased by 4% in the quarter, driven by growth across all segments.

Adjusted EBITA margin increased to 16.4%, including a US tariff refund benefit of effectively 4.2%. Excluding the US tariff refund benefit, Adjusted EBITA slightly decreased mainly due to cost inflation and higher tariffs, partly offset by higher sales and productivity measures. Net cash flows from operating activities remained broadly flat, with higher working capital outflows offset by the US tariff refund.

Diagnosis & Treatment comparable sales increased by 2%. Adjusted EBITA margin increased to 13.9%, including a US tariff refund benefit of approximately 4.6%. Excluding the US tariff refund benefit, Adjusted EBITA decreased mainly due to cost inflation, higher tariffs and unfavorable mix effects, partly offset by productivity measures.

Connected Care comparable sales increased by 2%. Adjusted EBITA margin increased to 17.8%, including a US tariff refund benefit of approximately 6.1%. Excluding the US tariff refund benefit, Adjusted EBITA increased mainly driven by operational improvements and productivity measures, partly offset by cost inflation and higher tariffs.

Personal Health comparable sales increased by 8%. Adjusted EBITA margin increased to 23.0%, including a US tariff refund benefit of approximately 5.0%. Excluding the US tariff refund benefit, Adjusted EBITA increased mainly driven by higher sales and productivity measures, partly offset by cost inflation.

Innovation highlights

Philips launched SmartIQ for its Azurion image-guided therapy platform, addressing the trade-off between image quality and radiation dose in coronary procedures. The technology enables an ultra-low dose protocol using over 50% less X-ray radiation than current low-dose settings, supported by the first published clinical evidence.

Philips unveiled the AI-powered Titanion MR, a next-generation ultra-high-gradient 3.0T MRI system, and a first-of-its-kind 4D MR solution for radiation therapy planning, enabling more precise imaging, improved visualization of moving tumors and enhanced clinical decision-making.

Philips partnered with healthcare providers across Poland to modernize more than 200 hospitals through over 300 healthcare technology projects under the country's National Recovery and Resilience Plan. The large-scale deployment of imaging, image-guided therapy and patient monitoring solutions expands access to high-quality care nationwide.

Philips was selected through a tender led by Karolinska University Hospital to support Region Stockholm's hospital-at-home initiative, delivering more care at home, remote patient monitoring and AI-enabled clinical services for up to 15,000 patients annually.

Philips signed long-term enterprise imaging partnerships with a premier health system customer in the US and Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust in the UK. The cloud-based imaging collaborations will connect care teams, streamline workflows and improve access to critical patient information.

Philips strengthened its Personal Health innovation leadership with recognition from the Good Housekeeping 2026 Beauty Awards for the Lumea IPL 9000 and Sonicare 6400, and launched the new Philips S800 Compact Shaver in China.

Productivity

Disciplined cost management and productivity initiatives delivered EUR 132 million in savings in the quarter. Philips is on track to deliver EUR 1.5 billion in savings under its 2026-2028 productivity program.

Outlook

Philips reiterates its full-year 2026 outlook, updated to reflect the US tariff refund benefit:

Comparable sales growth: 3%-4.5%

Adjusted EBITA margin: 13.5%-14.0%, including a US tariff refund benefit of approximately 1%, compared to 12.5%-13.0% previously

Free cash flow: EUR 1.5-1.7 billion, updated to reflect the US tariff refund, compared to EUR 1.3-1.5 billion previously

Within the context of an uncertain macro-environment, Philips' 2026 outlook includes currently known tariffs. It excludes ongoing Philips Respironics-related proceedings, including the investigation by the US Department of Justice and the State Attorneys General.

Capital allocation

Philips completed its dividend distribution for 2025 in the second quarter of 2026. As approved by the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders on May 8, 2026, a dividend of EUR 0.85 per common share was paid in cash or shares at the election of the shareholder, with 43.8% paid in cash.

Further information: conference call, video webcast and website

Roy Jakobs, CEO, and Charlotte Hanneman, CFO, will host a conference call for investors and analysts at 08:00 am CET on July 28, 2026, to discuss the results.

FREELANDER Middle East Launch Countdown - British Premium SUV Setting a New Global Benchmark for Intelligent Parking with SIVP

Wed, 29 Jul 2026 06:54:00 +0700

SHANGHAI, July 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Chery Group's FREELANDER has announced that preparations for its Middle East regional launch in Abu Dhabi are now underway. As FREELANDER's first strategic nameplate for the international market, FREELANDER 8 embodies the brand's three core pillars - British Craftsmanship, Smart Confidence, and All -Terrain Freedom - combining authentic British design, intelligent technology, and premium quality to offer global consumers a new intelligent mobility choice.

As a key highlight of this product, FREELANDER is the first to introduce the SIVP (Super Intelligent Valet Parking) to the Middle East market in the segment, becoming the first and only British premium brand to equip the SIVP system. This redefines the benchmark for intelligent premium in SUVs by delivering a smarter, more convenient, and safer parking experience.

Built on the brand-led R&D of a full-domain international intelligent driving solution, the Middle East edition integrates 27 high-performance sensors - 3 millimeter-wave radars, 11 high-definition perception cameras, 1 front DTOF and 12 ultrasonic radars - covering space search, parking, exit and summon scenarios, and redefining the intelligent parking experience. The system is engineered to adapt fully to the region's high-temperature, high-glare and complex road conditions.

As the brand's most comprehensive parking system, SIVP represents the ultimate form of the parking function matrix. Built on the foundation of APA (Automated Parking Assist), RPA (Remote Parking Assist) and other multi-tier parking technologies, SIVP delivers four core intelligent experience advantages that speak directly to the everyday parking pain points of users:

One-Touch Summon, Effortless Pickup and Return - Through the mobile App, users can summon the vehicle to a designated meeting point. In heavy rain or extreme heat, there is no need to walk across a high temperature or heavy raining parking lot to find the car.

Autonomous Yielding, Courteous Driving - The system intelligently senses the surrounding environment, actively identifies pedestrians and yield to them, with natural, human-like driving behavior.

Remote Monitoring, Full Visibility and Control - Through the mobile App, users can view real-time video of the vehicle's surroundings, with the entire parking process visible and safe.

Smart Negotiation, Intelligent Yielding at Oncoming Traffic - The system intelligently senses oncoming vehicles, automatically determines the best yielding strategy and retreats, improving driving efficiency.

For the high-frequency Middle East usage scenarios, SIVP delivers full-scenario adaptability: outdoor parking lots, enclosed underground parking, standard marked parking spaces and narrow irregular spaces can all be parked with ease - trouble-free in complex environments such as strong sunlight, heavy rain or extreme heat. From the scramble for a space at peak hours in shopping malls, to the risk of scraping in tight spaces, to the difficulty of finding the car in large parking lots - SIVP addresses them all in one solution. Beyond practicality, the system delivers a distinctive emotional value: users can remotely operate the vehicle to glide smoothly to them, open the boot to present flowers or gifts, turning every arrival into a moment of occasion and surprise.

About FREELANDER

FREELANDER is a British Premium Intelligent All-Terrain brand co-developed by Chery and Jaguar Land Rover. JLR leads the design and premium DNA, while Chery brings advanced technology and global top-tier supply chain capabilities.

UEM Edgenta Reinforces Commitment to Sarawak's Infrastructure with Batang Lupar Bridge

Tue, 28 Jul 2026 08:26:00 +0700

KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA - Media OutReach Newswire - 27 July 2026 - UEM Edgenta Berhad ("UEM Edgenta" or "the Company"), a leading Asset Management and Infrastructure Solutions company serving as the appointed Project Management Consultant (PMC), continues to drive Sarawak's infrastructure development forward.

Following the successful completion of the Pan Borneo Highway Sarawak, the Company has further strengthened its project management capabilities through the monumental Sarawak Coastal Road and the Second Trunk Road (CSTR). A centrepiece of these RM11 billion mega infrastructure projects is the Batang Lupar 1 Bridge, officially launched by the Premier of Sarawak on 9 July. Standing as the longest river crossing bridge in Malaysia, this structure is more than just a marvel of concrete and steel; it serves as a critical artery designed to physically unify the state's coastal road network.

Behind the completed structure linking Sebuyau to Triso lies the true story of the Batang Lupar 1 Bridge ? a story of the quiet, relentless engineering determination that brought it to life. Spearheaded by Jabatan Kerja Raya Sarawak (JKR Sarawak) as the project's principal team lead, delivering a mega-structure across one of the state's most formidable rivers demanded an extraordinary level of technical governance. Working in close partnership with JKR Sarawak, UEM Edgenta provided the critical project management and technical oversight necessary to execute this ambitious vision safely and efficiently.

Spanning an immense 4.844 kilometers across the Batang Lupar estuary, this cable-stayed bridge crosses a major geographic barrier that has historically isolated coastal communities. The bridge forms part of the CSTR network, comprising 14 major bridges, including five (5) distinctive cable-stayed structures that have become icons of Sarawak's infrastructure development. Constructing a structure of this scale requires driving deep foundation piles into complex riverbed soils and managing hundreds of thousands of metric tons of materials. As the PMC, UEM Edgenta was tasked with the immense responsibility of navigating these challenges, which meant aligning multiple contractors, ensuring international quality and safety compliance, and keeping a massive multi-year timeline on track despite unpredictable environmental variables.

Shaiful Subhan, Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of UEM Edgenta, commented on the scale of this technical orchestration, "Bridging massive geographical divides requires an arrangement of immense technical capabilities. At UEM Edgenta, our infrastructure solutions are designed to handle precisely this level of complexity, ensuring that the structural integrity and project management of the Batang Lupar 1 Bridge meet the highest international safety and quality standards."

To execute this, UEM Edgenta brought cutting-edge project management technology to the forefront. A project of this magnitude requires more than traditional oversight; it demands high digital precision to meet stringent specifications. By leveraging real-time construction analytics combined with drone-assisted site reporting, UEM Edgenta and the project teams maintained total visibility over the nearly five (5) kilometer span to conduct stringent quality assurance. This tech-driven governance ensured every component was fabricated and installed to exact specifications before it even reached the water.

Crucially, the Company's role on the ground extends beyond immediate project delivery; by actively integrating local Sarawakian engineers and contractors into these advanced BIM and drone methodologies, the project serves as a live incubator for specialised knowledge transfer, elevating the state's internal capacity to manage future marine mega-structures.

The challenges of the Batang Lupar project were not solely topographical or structural; they were fiercely environmental. The river is notoriously dynamic, featuring aggressive tidal bores and fast-flowing currents. More pressingly, the Batang Lupar Basin is the natural habitat for one of the densest populations of estuarine saltwater crocodiles in the region, infamously ingrained in local history through the legend of Bujang Senang. For UEM Edgenta, managing site safety meant rewriting the standard operational playbook. Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) governance had to extend beyond typical heavy machinery protocols to include strict maritime safety measures, tidal monitoring, and specialised ecological awareness. Achieving milestone man-hours without major incident in a challenging riverine environment known for strong tidal bores and estuarine crocodile populations is a testament to the rigorous safety culture the Company enforces on the ground.

Ultimately, the engineering expertise invested in the Batang Lupar 1 Bridge is measured not only by the structure itself, but by the lasting impact it will have on the people and communities it connects. For decades, traveling between the coastal towns separated by this massive river meant relying on ferry services, a bottleneck that stifled local commerce and delayed emergency services. By successfully overseeing the bridging of this gap, UEM Edgenta is supporting the Sarawak State Government in the latter's effort to close massive socio-economic divides. The bridge is expected to significantly reduce travel times, unlock new investment opportunities along the coastal belt, strengthen agricultural supply chains, and improve rural communities' access to essential healthcare and education hubs.

With Sarawak Day recently commemorated, the timing of this launch carries profound weight. Raihana Ahmad, Managing Director of Infrastructure Solutions at UEM Edgenta, reflects on the project's deeper meaning the project embodies. "This bridge is a physical manifestation of unity. For us at UEM Edgenta, overseeing this project was a national duty. In line with Sarawak Day, we are immensely proud to see how our engineering oversight has helped turn a concrete structure into a vital lifeline that will bring shared prosperity to our rural and coastal communities."

These efforts were recently recognised with the IEM Pinnacle Award 2026 in the Engineering & Construction category, presented by the Institution of Engineers Malaysia (IEM) at its 67th Annual Dinner & Awards Night. The award acknowledges UEM Edgenta's role as the PMC, working alongside JKR Sarawak in delivering this flagship project.

Batang Lupar 1 Bridge stands today not just as the longest river-crossing bridge in the nation, but as a towering symbol of state pride and economic sovereignty. Behind its majestic span is the rigorous technical expertise and governance, technological innovation, and unyielding safety standards of UEM Edgenta quietly driving the realisation of Sarawak's greatest infrastructural aspirations.

Tue, 28 Jul 2026 08:22:00 +0700

The round brings HiDream.ai's total financing over the past three months to more than RMB 2.1 billion and marks its entry into unicorn status

BEIJING, CHINA - Media OutReach Newswire - 27 July 2026 - HiDream.ai, a global large-model AI technology company, has announced the completion of a RMB 1.5 billion Series C financing round. The round was co-led by the National Social Security Fund Sichuan Revitalization Sci-Tech Innovation Fund, ICBC Capital, Hongyi Asset Management and Dunhong Capital.

New investors including Xiamen ITG Capital, Shanghai Film New Vision Fund, Hubei Yangtze River Industry Investment Group, Huace Film & TV, Hangyuan Capital, Chuangyunhai Capital, Huafu Investment, Yuhang Financial Holding, Bank of Communications Capital and Wakamatsu Fund also participated.

HiDream.ai also plans to collaborate with Huace Film & TV on AI agent-assisted content creation, corpus co-development, premium content co-production and full-chain IP development.

Together with earlier cooperation with Hubei Yangtze River Film Group, the addition of Shanghai Film New Vision Fund and Huace Film & TV further expands HiDream.ai's role in China's film and entertainment ecosystem and provides richer data and application scenarios for its video models.

From Native Omni-modal Models to World Models

HiDream.ai is among China's earliest companies focused on multimodal generative AI. Built on its self-developed HiDream model family, the company has developed a portfolio of AI products and a global commercial network across content creation, marketing, and film and entertainment production.

Earlier this year, HiDream.ai's native omni-modal HiDream-O1 model series, based on its original UiT, or Unified Transformer, architecture, achieved leading results on the text-to-image leaderboard of Artificial Analysis, a global independent AI model evaluation and analytics platform. The open-source version ranked first globally, while the closed-source version ranked among the global top three, positioning HiDream.ai among the leading players in visual generative AI.

At the product and commercialization level, HiDream.ai is pursuing a dual-engine strategy combining foundation models and AI agents. Built on the HiDream-O1 model series, its "1+1+3" framework includes one foundation model, one Token Hub platform for standardized model capability output, and three application areas: commercial marketing, film and entertainment production, and content creation.

At WAIC 2026, HiDream.ai introduced vivago R1, a multimodal creative agent with long-form video generation and editing capabilities. The "R" in R1 stands for long-horizon reasoning, reflecting a shift in AI-assisted creative production from generating isolated assets to planning, orchestrating and executing longer creative workflows.

HiDream.ai's products currently serve users in more than 100 countries and regions, including over 50 million professional users and more than 40,000 enterprise customers. The company said these commercial deployments validate the practical application of its native omni-modal architecture and provide a foundation for future scale.

Dr. Gunther von Hagens, Inventor of Plastination & Creator of BODY WORLDS, Has Passed Away

Tue, 28 Jul 2026 08:18:00 +0700

HEIDELBERG, GERMANY - Newsaktuell - 27 July 2026 - It is with deep sadness that the family and the Institute for Plastination announce the passing of Dr. Gunther von Hagens, inventor of Plastination and creator of the BODY WORLDS exhibitions. He died on July 24, 2026, at the age of 81.

Gunther von Hagens fundamentally transformed the field of anatomy. Through Plastination-the preservation techni?que he invented in 1977-he created an entirely new perspective of the human body for medical education, science and the general public. He made the complexity, vulnerability and beauty of the human body-previously reserved for the dissection room and anatomical textbooks -directly accessible to the wider public.

Together with his wife and curator, Dr. Angelina Whalley, Gunther von Hagens created BODY WORLDS, one of the most successful exhibitions in the world. Since its debut, the exhibition has been visited by more than 58 million people. BODY WORLDS made anatomy publicly accessible, encouraged reflection on health, disease, lifestyle and mortality, and inspired millions of people understand and appreciate their own bodies.

"Gunther wanted to give people the opportunity to look beneath the skin - not out of sensationalism, but from the deep conviction that knowledge of one's own body can contribute to a more conscious, healthier responsible life," says Angelina Whalley. "His work was scientific, educational and deeply humanistic. He enabled millions of people to see their own bodies in a new light."

His son, Rurik von Hagens, also honors his father's life's work, "My father never accepted that boundaries were fixed. He brought anatomy out of the closed world of specialists and into society. His courage, his perseverance and his unwavering belief that education serves humanity will continue to guide us."

Gunther von Hagens was a pioneer, researcher, inventor and creator. His life's work united scientific precision with exceptional craftsmanship, artistic expression and a strong commitment to education. He was an unconventional and often provocative thinker who sparked heated debates, overcame resistance and understood anatomy as an encoun?ter with life itself.

Body donation was always a central part of his work. The human specimens displayed in the BODY WORLDS come from individuals who, during their lifetime, decided to donate their bodies after death for Plastination, scientific research and anatomical education. Gunther von Hagens was deeply grateful to these individuals. He regarded their decision as an extraordinary contribution to education, science and public enlightenment.

It was Gunther von Hagens' own wish that his body, too, be made available for Plastination after his death. His family will respect and carry out this wish.

Despite serious illness, Gunther von Hagens remained closely connected to his life's work. The Plastination technique he developed, the Institute for Plastination, the PLASTINARIUM and the BODY WORLDS exhibitions will carry his legacy forward. His scientific and craftsmanship-based legacy lives on in a particularly visible way in Guben. There, at the PLASTINARIUM, anatomical specimens are created for use in the education of physicians and other healthcare professionals at universities, medical schools and educational institutions around the world.

Today, Plastination itself is used at numerous universities, medical schools and educational institutions worldwide.

In this way, the mission Gunther von Hagens began nearly five decades ago continues far beyond BODY WORLDS:

to preserve anatomy permanently, to make it visible, and to make it accessible for science, teaching and public edu?cation.

The family kindly asks that their privacy be respected during this time of mourning.

Tue, 28 Jul 2026 08:13:00 +0700

HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach Newswire - 27 July 2026 - Shanghai Commercial Bank ("Shacom Bank") today unveiled the new look of its West Point Branch at Catchick Street, Kennedy Town, following a comprehensive upgrade.

Established in 1962, the branch has served the Western District for over six decades and remains an integral part of the community. The revitalization not only breathes new life into a longstanding neighbourhood landmark but also delivers a new banking experience that reflects Shacom Bank's commitment to technological innovation, sustainability and community values.

New Automated Safe Deposit Box Service Championing Privacy and Security

A key highlight of the upgrade is the launch of a brand new automated safe deposit box service. Shacom Bank is the first bank in Hong Kong to introduce robotic arm delivery technology, enabling safe deposit boxes to be automatically retrieved and delivered directly to a private room for customers. With more than 1,600 safe deposit boxes in various sizes, the branch caters to strong customer demand for secure safe deposit box service.

The robotic arm system then delivers the designated safe deposit box directly to the customer, who can open it with their personal key without entering the vault to access the box, significantly enhancing privacy. The technology also eliminates the need for customers to carry the boxes manually - particularly those located at higher levels - thereby removing the risk of injury during retrieval.

To celebrate the grand opening of West Point Branch, customers who open or upgrade to Shacom Bank "SMART Banking"1 service can enjoy a 20% discount on the first-year rent for safe deposit box service.

Sustainable Design and Modern Green Branch

With a usable floor area of more than 7,000 square feet, the branch features an optimized spatial design and presents a stylish, contemporary look. The new branch, designed by a leading hospitality design team, features an overall layout and design that are both centered on delivering an exceptional customer experience. Its spacious layout and premium materials perfectly embody Shacom Bank's motto, "For Personalized Service."

Departing from the traditional counter model, the Wealth Management Centre on the first floor offers private meeting rooms and dedicated relationship managers, creating a more premium yet welcoming setting for wealth management services. A warm, wood-based design palette is adopted throughout the branch. The lobby counter has been reconfigured with the overhead frame removed and curved edges, reducing visual barriers and enhancing the sense of openness.

Championing green building principles, the branch incorporates low-carbon, recycled and internationally certified sustainable materials. In the back-office areas, eco-friendly carpet and flooring have been installed, equivalent to recycling up to 168,050 discarded PET plastic bottles. Other construction materials also meet various international environmental standards and certifications, including the GreenGuard Gold-certified flooring and Global GreenTag-certified wood veneers used extensively in panelling and millwork. Intelligent temperature control and energy-saving LED lighting systems are also expected to significantly reduce annual electricity consumption, creating a modern, comfortable and environmentally responsible banking environment.

Mr. Varden Choi, Managing Director, Chief of Branch Banking at Shanghai Commercial Bank, said, "Our newly renovated West Point Branch embodies our motto "For Personalized Service" and delivers an enhanced banking experience. Recognizing the growing demand for convenient and secure safe deposit box services, we are pleased to introduce an automated solution that combines financial technology with the strengths of traditional banking."

He added, "For over 60 years, our West Point Branch has grown alongside the community, earning the trust and fond memories of generations of customers. By introducing the new automated safe deposit box service and incorporating sustainable building design elements at the new branch, we aim to deliver more forward-looking and caring services, ushering in a new era of banking together with the Western District community and customers across Hong Kong."

CGTN: Why China has become a hot summer destination

Tue, 28 Jul 2026 08:02:00 +0700

BEIJING, July 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CGTN published an article exploring the China Travel boom. As a growing number of global travelers head to China in search of cooler destinations, the article explores the country's boom in inbound tourism this summer, and highlights how China's expanding visa facilitation policies and foreigner-friendly services are driving this travel trend.

As extreme heat grips much of Europe, a new travel trend is taking shape. Increasingly, travelers are looking beyond their own borders in search of cooler summer destinations, and China is emerging as one of their top choices.

With its cool climate and picturesque landscape of green hills and clear waters, Liupanshui City, known as China's "cool city" in southwest China's Guizhou Province, has emerged as a favored destination for foreign travelers escaping the heat. During this summer vacation, more than 20 themed events, including music festivals and rural garden fairs, are taking place across the city, drawing visitors from around the world.

Touring the city this summer, Max Slonim, an American tourist, was impressed by the cool and comfortable weather. "Whenever you go to scenic and beautiful places, you can really experience nature and the peaceful atmosphere without huge crowds and long queues," he said.

The broader momentum behind "China Travel" continues to build. During the first half of 2026, China recorded more than 22.91 million inbound visits, up 20.4% year on year. Traditional summer destinations such as Yunnan, Guizhou and Hunan provinces have topped international travelers' summer wishlists.

Booming China Travel

In Zhangjiajie, a tourist city in central China's Hunan Province known worldwide for its dreamlike landscape, the peak season for inbound visitors has arrived. Tourists from Europe, Southeast Asia and beyond venture into its UNESCO-listed sandstone mountains, where cool breezes and lush forests offer a natural retreat.

Benefiting from China's 240-hour visa-free transit policy, the city has opened over 10 passenger air routes linking eight countries and regions. Fast-track immigration procedures and entry to major attractions with just a passport have made traveling in the city more seamless than ever for international visitors.

Since the beginning of July, family summer trips to the Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon Scenic Area have surged, with daily visits approaching 10,000 and inbound tourists accounting for over 50% of the total.

China's cooler coastal destinations are also seeing rising popularity. Qinhuangdao, a seaside city in north China's Hebei Province, has introduced a diverse lineup of summer activities, including sailing, speedboat rides, intangible cultural heritage performances and immersive VR experiences at the Great Wall Museum.

The city received 43,000 inbound visits during the first half of this year, up 50% year on year, while the average stay of overseas tourists doubled from seven days to fifteen.

The trend is especially noticeable among European travelers. European countries account for nearly 30% of China's top 20 inbound source markets for this summer. Travel bookings have surged 275% year on year, while attraction ticket orders have increased by 20 times. Visitors from Britain, France and Germany alone account for nearly 42% of all European arrivals.

Why China?

Behind the tourism boom is China's steadily expanding visa facilitation policy. China currently offers unilateral visa-free entry to nationals of 50 countries and has signed mutual visa exemption agreements with 29 countries. Meanwhile, nationals from 55 countries can now utilize the 240-hour visa-free transit program to enter China via 65 designated ports.

International accessibility has also improved significantly. Direct flights now connect overseas destinations with 160 Chinese cities, while more than three-quarters of inbound travelers now enter the country visa-free.

Meanwhile, travel services have become increasingly foreigner-friendly. Multilingual ticketing machines, AI-powered translation devices and customer support in English, French, Spanish and other languages are now widely available at tourist attractions and on major travel platforms.

Yet one detail repeatedly highlighted by foreign visitors is surprisingly simple: air conditioning. From airports and subway stations to shopping malls, hotels and tourist attractions, reliable cooling has become an essential part of China's summer travel experience, supported by one of the world's largest and most reliable power systems.

Across social media, videos of foreign travelers sharing their summer adventures in China have become windows through which global audiences are rediscovering the country. Increasingly, visitors are venturing beyond Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen to explore ancient towns, mountain villages and lesser-known cities. What they are finding is more than just a cool place to escape the summer heat - they are discovering a China that is increasingly accessible, welcoming and vibrant.

The report arrives as the tokenized equity market approaches $2 billion in onchain value with more than 471,000 onchain holders, reflecting growing investor demand for blockchain-based access to traditional financial assets. As tokenized stocks become more widely available across crypto exchanges, CryptoRank examined how differences in product structure, liquidity models and execution infrastructure influence the trading experience beyond simple price exposure.

The study compared tokenized stock offerings across major exchanges and found that products tracking the same underlying equities can differ significantly in investor rights, liquidity mechanisms, redemption models and execution quality. The report evaluated NVIDIA, Microsoft, Meta and Tesla, the only four assets that maintained valid two-sided order books across all venues tested. In this comparable set, Bitget's Reality rTokens consistently produced the strongest execution results for larger trades.

The report found that Bitget delivered the lowest simulated slippage across all four comparable assets for both $10,000 and $50,000 orders, while Reality rTokens recorded the highest balanced displayed liquidity within 50 basis points. CryptoRank attributed these results to Bitget's liquidity architecture, which combines exchange liquidity with NYSE and NASDAQ-linked underlying market liquidity, enabling deeper liquidity and more efficient execution for larger trades. CryptoRank also examined the legal and operational structures behind tokenized equity products, noting that similar stock tickers can represent different forms of investor claims depending on how each product is issued and settled.

Bitget Limited

"Tokenization is moving beyond access and into infrastructure," said Gracy Chen, CEO at Bitget. "If even 10% of global financial assets become tokenized by 2030, we'll witness one of the most significant transformations in modern capital markets. The next phase of tokenization will be defined by quality of execution liquidity and market infrastructure supporting those assets. Independent research like this helps establish the benchmarks the industry needs as tokenzied markets continue to mature."

The findings build on Bitget's continued expansion of its Stock+ ecosystem, which gives eligible users access to more than 500 tokenized stocks, ETFs, commodities and other traditional financial assets alongside cryptocurrencies through a single unified account. By combining 24/7 market access, fractional investing and NYSE and NASDAQ-linked liquidity, Bitget is building the infrastructure needed to support the next generation of tokenized capital markets.

Dmitry Shubov Consulting Issues Strategic Analysis on Capital-Efficient Delaware Flip Models for Southeast Asian Scale-Ups

Tue, 28 Jul 2026 07:54:00 +0700

FREMONT, Calif., July 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Corporate setup often dictates how fast a cross-border fundraising round moves. Drawing on established legal mechanics-including SPZ Legal's analysis on Delaware flips-Dmitry Shubov Consulting today released a new executive briefing for Southeast Asian scale-ups entering the U.S. market.

For founders across the region, structure dictates deal velocity. Most U.S. venture funds hesitate to invest directly into foreign holding entities, preferring standard legal frameworks they already know how to underwrite.

"For many Southeast Asian scale-ups, the challenge isn't ambition - it's making sure the structure supports the speed of the opportunity," said Dmitry Shubov, Founder of Dmitry Shubov Consulting. "When a fundraising round moves across borders, founders need a setup that investors recognize, can underwrite quickly, and can scale without creating unnecessary drag on the business."

Below are the four core priorities Dmitry Shubov Consulting recommends for expanding scale-ups:

Equity Mirroring & Cap Table Alignment: Structuring cross-border equity swaps that move existing shareholders into a U.S. parent entity without disrupting regional cap tables.

Intercompany IP Licensing: Establishing licensing structures that protect core IP while giving investors complete legal transparency.

Lean Dual-Jurisdiction Governance: Cutting administrative overlap between regional operating units and the U.S. entity to protect execution speed.

Investor-Ready Architecture: Setting up governance upfront against institutional due diligence standards to eliminate friction during active fundraising rounds.

Dmitry Shubov Consulting incorporates these structural frameworks directly into its executive advisory engagements for Southeast Asian leadership teams navigating cross-border capital strategies and U.S. market entry. For more information, reach out to Dmitry Shubov Consulting.

At Dmitry Shubov Consulting, our mission is to connect accredited investors with groundbreaking legal technology startups, fostering innovation and growth across Southeast Asia and helping Asian businesses enter the U.S. market.

Dari Lapangan Turun ke Jalan - LEPAS L8 PHEV Menginovasikan Mobilitas Elegan

Tue, 28 Jul 2026 07:32:00 +0700

WUHU, Tiongkok, July 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LEPAS, merek NEV menengah ke atas di bawah naungan Chery Auto, telah memperkenalkan LEPAS L8 PHEV di pasar global, menghadirkan interpretasi baru dalam hal mobilitas elegan melalui teknologi hibrida mutakhir, pengemudian cerdas, dan desain mewah.

Terinspirasi oleh ketenangan, presisi, dan ketahanan yang ditunjukkan oleh para juara ajang sepak bola dunia, LEPAS L8 PHEV memadukan filosofi desain "Leopard Aesthetics" khas merek ini dengan sistem LEPAS Super Hybrid, yang menawarkan performa yang andal, jarak tempuh yang lebih jauh, serta pengalaman mengemudi yang mewah bagi konsumen yang mencari solusi mobilitas cerdas dan elegan di seluruh dunia.

Terlepas dari menang dan kalah, kedua tim memiliki semangat juara - perpaduan antara ketenangan dan ketangguhan. Perpaduan ini selaras dengan nilai-nilai inti LEPAS L8 PHEV yang segera hadir, yaitu model yang siap menorehkan namanya pada panggung NEV global dengan kelebihan yang menyeluruh.

Leopard Aesthetics - Perpaduan Kekuatan dengan Keanggunan

Di sepanjang babak final, oper bola dan gerakan tim Spanyol yang fleksibel tampak kontras dengan pertahanan Argentina yang gigih dan tangguh, menghadirkan keseimbangan yang memikat antara kekuatan dan keanggunan. Perpaduan ini begitu sesuai dengan filosofi desain "Leopard Aesthetics" yang khas dari LEPAS.

LEPAS L8 PHEV mengambil inspirasi dari langkah panjang nan lincah macan tutul, yang menyeimbangkan kekuatan yang liar dan keanggunan yang bersahaja. Sifat ini mencerminkan kedua finalis - satu kubu bermain dalam ritme yang fleksibel, sementara kubu yang lain bertahan dalam ketangguhan. Leopard Aesthetics mewujudkan koeksistensi antara kekuatan dan keanggunan, menciptakan bahasa desain yang percaya diri dan elegan.

Sisi Depan Macan Tutul yang Fenomenal, yang dipadukan dengan Shoulder Line Dinamis Macan Tutul, menyembunyikan kontras yang tajam di balik konstruksi mulusnya. Lampu Belakang LED dengan Siluet Macan Tutul, saat menyala, memancarkan sinar loreng di tengah malam bak bayangan macan tutul yang melesat, menciptakan interaksi antara gerakan dan keheningan.

Finishing mobil kustom, seperti Norwegian Forest Green dan Provence Purple, diracik melalui proses pengecatan tujuh lapis untuk menghasilkan tekstur mewah nan bersahaja dengan identitas visual yang kentara. Bahasa desain ini - begitu fleksibel dan kuat - memastikan kendaraan tampil beda dengan karakter yang elegan; baik saat menavigasi jalan kota maupun jalan terbuka.

Interiornya juga mengusung filosofi kekuatan dan keanggunan ini. Jarak sumbu roda 2800 mm yang terdepan di kelasnya menciptakan nuansa interior yang sejuk, lapang, dan melindungi, dengan siluet meliuk yang melembutkan rekayasa modern yang presisi dan kaku.

Sistem wewangian aktif, pemantauan kualitas udara AQS, kaca pelindung sinar UV dan insulasi panas, kursi nyaman ekstra lembut, dan kabin tenang sekelas teater saling bekerja sama untuk menciptakan tetirah mewah dari dunia luar. Bersama-sama, kelebihan ini menghadirkan pengalaman perjalanan yang tenang nan santai, menghadirkan rasa percaya diri dan kenyamanan yang ada dalam pertandingan kejuaraan sepak bola di setiap perjalanan.

LEPAS Super Hybrid - Kepercayaan Diri di Setiap Perjalanan

Di lapangan, tim kejuaraan sepak bola membuktikan bahwa kesuksesan tidak hanya datang dari setia menggunakan satu cara bermain yang sama, melainkan juga dari kemampuan untuk beradaptasi. Baik mengendalikan irama pertandingan maupun menanggapi tekanan dengan tenang, juara sejati tetap tenang di setiap situasi. Inilah filosofi di balik LEPAS L8 PHEV, menghadirkan rasa percaya diri dan performa seimbang di berbagai skenario mengemudi.

LEPAS L8 PHEV didukung oleh sistem LEPAS Super Hybrid, yang dilengkapi mesin hibrida khusus dengan efisiensi termal sebesar 45,79% yang terdepan di industri dan transmisi hibrida khusus dengan efisiensi transmisi sebesar 97,6%. Mobil ini berhasil mencapai konsumsi bahan bakar keseluruhan yang sangat rendah, yaitu hanya 2,38L/100 km dan jarak tempuh yang komprehensif hingga 1.300 kilometer berdasarkan standar NEDC.

Dipadukan dengan pengisian cepat DC 40kW, baterainya dapat diisi ulang dari 30% ke 80% sembari Anda menikmati secangkir kopi. Baik saat beraktivitas di perkotaan, perjalanan bisnis, maupun perjalanan jarak jauh, mobil ini beradaptasi dengan mudah di setiap skenario, mengurangi kekhawatiran akan jarak tempuh, dan menghadirkan pengalaman berkendara yang percaya diri.

Keamanan Menyeluruh dan Perlindungan Cerdas - Pertahanan yang Kuat dengan Respons yang Cepat

"Serangan bisa memenangkan pertandingan, tetapi pertahanan bisa memenangkan kejuaraan." Selama turnamen ini, pertahanan Spanyol tidak mudah ditembus, hanya kebobolan satu gol sepanjang kompetisi tersebut. Di sisi lain, pola pertahanan berlapis Argentina juga termasuk yang terkuat di pertandingan. Kedua tim benar-benar menunjukkan keahlian dalam bertahan ? dan inilah yang menjadi filosofi di balik cara LEPAS L8 PHEV melindungi perjalanan elegan para penggunanya.

LEPAS L8 PHEV memiliki bodi bergaya sangkar yang dibuat dengan bahan baja berkekuatan tinggi dalam proporsi yang besar, dilengkapi dengan 10 kantong udara untuk memastikan integritas kabin selama terjadi tabrakan dan memberikan perlindungan menyeluruh bagi setiap penumpang.

Baterai daya ini dilengkapi dengan tiga lapisan perlindungan keamanan baterai dengan peringkat IP68/IPX9K yang secara efektif mencegah masuknya air dan debu. Hal ini memampukan kendaraan untuk menghadapi kondisi jalan yang rumit dengan percaya diri, seperti jalanan yang tergenang banjir dan permukaan yang tidak beraspal, sehingga menciptakan fondasi keselamatan yang kuat untuk setiap perjalanan.

Dari segi kecerdasan, LEPAS L8 PHEV dilengkapi dengan ADAS (Intelligent Driving Assistance System) Level 2, yang mengintegrasikan pencitraan panaroma 540?, parkir otomatis APA/RPA, dan lebih dari dua puluh fungsi termasuk peringatan tabrakan dari depan, bantuan untuk tetap di jalur, dan sistem pengereman lalu lintas yang ada di belakang. Teknologi ini memastikan keselamatan dan kenyamanan berkendara, seperti pertahanan yang kuat di lapangan, yang menjaga setiap perjalanan dari awal hingga akhir.

Setiap kejuaraan tidak hanya meninggalkan hasil semata. Pemain muda Spanyol berhasil mendemonstrasikan bagaimana ketenangan dan kerja sama tim dapat menentukan jalannya pertandingan. Di sisi lain, tim Argentina menunjukkan tekad yang tangguh, dengan semangat juang Messi yang tak kenal lelah di bawah tekanan menjadi bukti nyata akan gairah dan ketangguhannya. Saat peluit akhir berbunyi, perjalanan berlanjut. Dengan LEPAS L8 PHEV yang akan diluncurkan, LEPAS tetap berkomitmen untuk menghadirkan mobilitas yang elegan ke setiap perjalanan yang akan datang.
