With an embedded smart-city connectivity node, IK10 durability, and a 10-year warranty, KarbonCobra™ provides reliable, future-ready performance that supports both Vision Zero and net-zero city goals.

VersaLUX – A highly flexible area lighting system designed for community, park, and mixed-use environments. Its adjustable optical distributions combine aesthetic appeal with functional performance, and it can be integrated with camera modules to enable smart surveillance and enhanced safety monitoring.

PostTop – A sustainable post-top decorative luminaire featuring low-CCT light sources and glare-control optics. Designed in compliance with International Dark-Sky Association (IDA) standards, it protects nighttime ecosystems while enhancing urban ambiance.

EV Charger – LEOTEK’s first step into clean mobility infrastructure. By integrating streetlighting with EV charging stations, it leverages shared power and real-time data to provide cities with a unified “lighting + mobility” solution for the net-zero transition.

In addition to these solutions, LEOTEK is spotlighting its connected lighting capabilities at Booth #613. Through advanced nodes and a powerful management platform, LEOTEK demonstrates how connected solutions can deliver smarter, more efficient control across citywide lighting networks. The showcase also features the industry’s most sustainable cobrahead luminaire, underscoring LEOTEK’s leadership in sustainable roadway design.

“This is not just a showcase, it’s our statement of leadership in Intelligent Sustainable Infrastructure,” said Torrent Chin, President & Chief Sustainability Officer of LEOTEK. “From roadway systems to EV charging, we are proving how lighting innovation makes cities safer and greener.” “In the U.S. market, cities and utilities need safety and cost efficiency,” added Ewing Liu, Chief of Staff and Vice President of Sales. “Our solutions are practical, reliable, and aligned with the shift toward net-zero infrastructure.”

Air Premia Signs Landing Gear Exchange Program Agreement with Boeing

  • Expected to minimize operational downtime and improve cost efficiency

SEOUL, South Korea, Sept. 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Air Premia, Korea’s leading hybrid airline, today announced that it has signed an agreement with Boeing for its Landing Gear Exchange program.

Air Premia Signs Landing Gear Exchange Program Agreement with Boeing
Air Premia Signs Landing Gear Exchange Program Agreement with Boeing

Under this agreement, Air Premia will exchange landing gear requiring overhaul with spare landing gear from Boeing’s inventory. By adopting this exchange-based approach, the airline will avoid lengthy maintenance downtime, minimize disruptions to operations, and reduce the need for significant investment in spare assets.

Boeing holds exclusive licensing rights for the 787-9 landing gear and operates a robust supply chain backed by an extensive spare pool. This contract is expected to further strengthen Air Premia’s ability to secure critical parts and maintain on-time operations.

Air Premia currently operates a fleet of eight aircraft, with its first aircraft scheduled to undergo landing gear overhaul at the end of 2027. Through this agreement, the airline will be able to maintain stable operations even as major maintenance cycles begin.

The airline already ensures operational stability through Rolls-Royce’s TotalCare program for its engines, while securing three spare engines independently. Key components are managed under Lufthansa Technik’s component pool program, and Air Premia has also signed an MOU with Korea Aviation Engineering & Maintenance Service (KAEMS) for joint procurement and heavy maintenance outsourcing, further strengthening its domestic maintenance capabilities.

With the addition of Boeing’s Landing Gear Exchange program, Air Premia now has a comprehensive maintenance framework in place across engines, components, and landing gear—covering all critical aircraft systems.

In August, Korea’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport (MOLIT) recognized Air Premia’s safety-first management, ranking the airline first in “Safety Investment per 10,000 Flights” in its 2024 Aviation Safety Investment Report.

“This agreement represents a strategic decision to ensure reliable maintenance and operation of landing gear, one of the aircraft’s most critical systems,” said a spokesperson for Air Premia. “Having completed a total maintenance system through global partnerships, we will continue to prioritize safety and efficiency in all our operations.”

About Air Premia

Air Premia is Korea’s first hybrid airline, combining the efficiency of low-cost carriers with the service quality of full-service airlines. Founded in 2017 and headquartered in Seoul, Air Premia operates a fleet of Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners on medium- to long-haul routes, offering passengers affordable fares and enhanced in-flight comfort. With safety, reliability, and customer satisfaction as its core values, Air Premia continues to expand its global network while delivering a differentiated travel experience.

UnionPay International and Bank of China Frankfurt Branch Launch SplendorPlus Debit Card in Germany, Marking its European Debut

FRANKFURT, Germany, Sept. 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — UnionPay International (“UPI” or “the Company”) and Bank of China Frankfurt Branch announced the launch of the SplendorPlus Debit Card, marking its first issuance in Europe. Tailored to serve local residents in Germany to travel to China, the card caters to the surge in travel to China, offering a cost-effective and convenient cross-border payment solution for seamless transactions during their trips. This initiative also reinforces cross-border engagement and long-term institutional cooperation.

The SplendorPlus Card combines the strength of the Bank of China brand with the reach of UnionPay’s global network, offering customers convenient purchases both locally and internationally, with seamless spending experiences in China. Key highlight for cardholders is the cashback incentive: 1% cash back on transactions made via the UnionPay network in Chinese mainland.

In Germany, UnionPay services are widely available in key tourist areas, including airports, shopping districts, and outlet villages, covering merchants such as department stores, duty-free shops, restaurants, hotels, and car rental services. Through a partnership with Epay, UnionPay QR code payments are additionally accepted at major retail chains including Müller, Galeria, and Heinemann duty-free shops. 

As part of its Project Excellence initiative, the card is widely accepted in China, covering over 1.31 million merchants across transportation, dining, shopping, and entertainment venues. Further enhancing its utility, UnionPay has partnered with 213 offline aggregated code merchants and 166 major online platforms to support international card acceptance, helping users enjoy a seamless experience across both physical and digital retail scenarios.

Through this collaboration, UnionPay and Bank of China Frankfurt Branch will integrate SplendorPlus benefits into existing card products, boosting the competitiveness of Bank of China’s UnionPay dual-currency debit cards. Starting from October 1, 2025, current dual-currency debit cards will be upgraded to the SplendorPlus Card, with cashback rewards promoted and accessible via UnionPay’s mobile-based U Rewards Platform. This initiative is expected to enhance inbound payment experiences for cardholders and drive growth in both card issuance volume and transaction activity.

UnionPay International launched its Project Excellence in 2024 to develop multi-tiered, diversified payment services. In early 2025, the program expanded its focus to three key areas: acceptance scenario enhancement, product upgrades, and international reach expansion—all aimed at simplifying payments in China for overseas customers. Transaction data reflects the program’s effectiveness: foreign-issued and cross-border UnionPay card volume surged 103% year-over-year, with transaction value rising 31%.

To cater to diverse user needs, UnionPay has rolled out targeted products. The SplendorPlus Card, designed for long-term visitors and local residents with cross-border payment demands, integrates global acceptance with optimized China-focused features. It is now offered through 56 institutions across 20 markets. This expands UnionPay’s global footprint, which now includes hundreds of millions of cards issued in 84 countries and regions. For mobile-first users, over 200 UnionPay standard digital wallets are available for application in 37 markets.

UnionPay has also expanded tax refund services, offering both airport and city-center instant refund options, and is actively advancing cross-border QR code interoperability, reaching agreements with networks in 19 countries and regions to enable international customers to use familiar payment tools in China, while continuing to enhance payment convenience and accessibility for foreign tourists and merchants.

MUNICH, Sept. 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — On September 10, Desay SV announced during the International Motor Show Germany (IAA Mobility 2025) that it is expanding its intelligent driving solutions to overseas markets. Specifically, Desay SV will now make its IPU14 domain controller — introduced late last year and built on NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Thor — available to the worldwide automotive industry.

This latest news was celebrated at a signing ceremony during IAA, and attended by senior leaders from both companies, including Desay SV CEO Jian Xu, Executive Vice President Lele Li, and Rishi Dhall, VP of Automotive Business, Tong Liu, VP, GM of China Automotive Business from NVIDIA.

Desay SV has been collaborating with NVIDIA in the field of automotive intelligence since 2020. In 2020, Desay SV achieved mass production of its first intelligent driving domain controller—IPU03, based on the NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Xavier —deployed on the XPeng P7. It marked the industry’s first commercialization of intelligent driving technology and provided a pioneering “intelligent brain” for emerging electric vehicle brands. Building on this milestone, the companies introduced the IPU04 domain controller in 2022, built on NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Orin, which has since entered mass production and been adopted by more than 20 automakers, including Li Auto, XPeng, GAC, GWM, and Nissan.

Last year, Desay SV announced it would launch new high-performance assisted driving domain controller accelerated by NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Thor to support L3 conditional automation and L4 driving capabilities in certain scenarios. Running the safety-certified DriveOS automotive operating system, DRIVE AGX Thor is optimized for transformer, LLM, VLM and generative AI workloads for the automotive market. Today’s announcement signals Desay SV’s move beyond China to make this available on a global scale. 

Through the implementation of numerous key projects, Desay SV has effectively utilized its strengths in technology adaptation, mass production, and quality management to successfully integrate NVIDIA accelerated compute stable, reliable, and scalable automotive-grade products. Expanding this integration into global markets will serve as a significant driver for Desay SV’s international strategy.

Smart vehicles are not only changing the way people travel and the in-car experience but are increasingly becoming super mobile terminals driving toward the future. This shift brings forth a series of challenges in implementing new artificial intelligence technologies and functions.

Desay SV is creating sustainable value for the global smart mobility industry, envisioning a future landscape of intelligent transportation. Through ongoing collaboration, both companies will explore other synergistic opportunities beyond intelligent driving, including robotics, embodied AI, and other fields across the broader realm of smart living.
