All-new Hyundai NEXO Achieves Maximum Five-Star Rating in Euro NCAP Safety Assessment

  • Hyundai’s next-generation hydrogen fuel-cell electric SUV earns top scores across all major safety categories
  • Achieves outstanding results in Adult and Child Occupant Protection, securing maximum points for adult whiplash protection in rear impacts and for six- and ten-year-old child dummies in frontal and side impact tests
  • Continues Hyundai’s five-star streak following IONIQ 5, IONIQ 6 and IONIQ 9
  • Reinforces Hyundai’s long-standing commitment to safety leadership and zero-emission mobility innovation

SEOUL, South Korea, Dec. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Hyundai Motor Company announced that the all-new Hyundai NEXO has achieved the highest possible five-star rating in the latest Euro NCAP safety assessment, reaffirming the company’s dedication to delivering class-leading safety across its electrified lineup.

All-new Hyundai NEXO Achieves Maximum Five-Star Rating  in Euro NCAP Safety Assessment
All-new Hyundai NEXO Achieves Maximum Five-Star Rating in Euro NCAP Safety Assessment

As Hyundai’s next-generation hydrogen fuel-cell electric SUV, the NEXO emits only water vapor and exemplifies the company’s vision for zero-emission mobility. Its top rating adds strong validation to Hyundai’s pursuit of safety excellence, following previous five-star Euro NCAP results for the IONIQ 5, IONIQ 6 and IONIQ 9.

Hyundai continues to demonstrate that safety is central to every vehicle it develops — not only for customers but for all road users. The NEXO’s latest recognition underscores Hyundai’s consistent performance in crash protection and its extensive suite of advanced safety and driver-assistance technologies.

Outstanding Occupant Protection Across Adult and Child Categories

Euro NCAP (European New Car Assessment Programme) — Europe’s most trusted independent organization for evaluating vehicle safety — assesses new vehicles across four categories: adult occupant protection, child occupant protection, protection of vulnerable road users, and safety assistance technologies.

The all-new Hyundai NEXO achieved exceptional results across all four areas, including 90 percent in Adult Occupant Protection and 85 percent in Child Occupant Protection.

Building on Hyundai’s proven safety leadership

This achievement further highlights Hyundai’s long-term commitment to hydrogen technology and safety innovation. The previous generation NEXO became the first fuel-cell electric vehicle ever tested by Euro NCAP in 2018 — and earned a five-star rating under the evaluation standards at that time.

The new five-star result underscores Hyundai’s continuous advancement in fuel-cell engineering, crash protection and customer-focused safety technology, setting a benchmark in the global FCEV segment.

Bybit and Block Scholes Report Finds Fed Outlook Fails to Lift Crypto Derivatives Sentiment

DUBAI, UAE, Dec. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume has released its latest Crypto Derivatives Analytics Report in collaboration with Block Scholes.

The analysis reviews market conditions surrounding the year’s final Federal Open Market Committee meeting, where policymakers delivered a widely expected 25 basis point rate cut. Chair Jerome Powell’s remarks kept the possibility of either a pause or another cut in January 2026 in play, contributing to a restrained response across crypto markets.

Key Highlights:

Perpetuals: Open interest is still far lower than the levels it plummeted from pre-October 10, and funding rates in leveraged contracts suggest retail traders are still unwilling to re-enter positions in perpetual swap contracts.
Options: Volatility smiles are bearish across the whole term structure for both BTC and ETH with volatility smiles pricing in close to a 5 percent premium for OTM puts over calls for both short-dated and long-dated BTC and ETH options. As such, those waiting for a so-called Santa rally may end up disappointed, at least based on current positioning in derivatives markets.

Block Scholes’ Risk Appetite Index measures the level of euphoria (above 1) or panic (below -1) in the spot market. Momentum in this index shows a strong relationship to spot returns.
Block Scholes’ Risk Appetite Index measures the level of euphoria (above 1) or panic (below -1) in the spot market. Momentum in this index shows a strong relationship to spot returns.

The report highlights minimal shifts in perpetual swap activity, subdued implied volatility and continued skepticism in options positioning. While the Fed conveyed an improved economic outlook, sentiment in crypto derivatives remains cautious. BTC’s spot price is still 28 percent below its all-time high, and options markets continue to price meaningful downside protection. According to the findings, traders have yet to see catalysts strong enough to support a late year resurgence.

Han Tan, Chief Market Analyst at Bybit Learn, said the broader macro backdrop continues to influence crypto market reactions. “The Fed’s policy outlook will frame market reactions to this week’s US jobs report and inflation data releases. Crypto bulls still have their work cut out to get any upside momentum going, considering that digital assets could only muster a tepid response to the final FOMC meeting of 2025, in stark contrast to global equities that surged to new record highs. Merely middling activity across the derivatives complex suggests that the window for a crypto ‘santa rally’ is getting narrower and the bar notably set higher.”

The report concludes that traders are showing limited appetite to re-engage with leverage while options markets continue to indicate caution across short and long horizons. Current positioning suggests a tempered outlook for any year end rebound.

HIGHWAY HOLDINGS REPORTS SECOND QUARTER FISCAL YEAR 2026 RESULTS

HONG KONG, Dec. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Highway Holdings Limited (Nasdaq: HIHO, the “Company” or “Highway Holdings”) today reported results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2026 and the six months ended September 30, 2025.

Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal year 2026 were $1.18 million compared to $2.11 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2025. Net loss for the second quarter of fiscal year 2026 was $373,000, or net loss of $0.08 per diluted share, compared with net income of $231,000, or net income of $0.05 per diluted share in the second quarter of fiscal year 2025.

Roland Kohl, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Highway Holdings, noted, “The adverse pressure on our long-term OEM business continues, including a reorganization of one of our customer’s production plants which shifted a substantial part of our motor OEM business to that customer’s own motor manufacturing company in Czechia. We still maintain a smaller portion of this OEM customer’s motor business but the revenue contribution from this customer has been substantially reduced.”

“While this action will result in a substantial reduction of our previous motor OEM business, we are fortunate that at the same time, another OEM customer finally approved the mass production of its motor product. We are in the early ramp-up phase, which will cause a time period with lower motor sales, but this new motor business is expected to eventually compensate for the loss of the other customer’s motor business. Since all of the remaining motor manufacturing shall be performed in China, this will result in a workforce reduction in our Myanmar plant.”

“On the positive side, we recently also received a substantial order from our old gaming industry business customer. We are happy that this prior business was not lost and is coming back strongly. But we still expect a gap in time between the loss of the old business and the new, replacement business.”

“As an OEM supplier, our success remains fully dependent on the success of our customers, with failures having an outsized impact on our business. We continue to evaluate options to ease the dependent, captured situation we are faced with. We have looked at numerous German companies for the purpose of M&A only to discover during the due diligence process that their businesses were having the same or even worse problems, which would only serve to further burden our business. As a result, it has taken a much longer time to find a viable acquisition. We are, however, optimistic at this juncture that we have found a suitable target, which we are in the final stage of negotiation with. We believe there are many synergies with this company that will benefit both parties. At the same time, we continue to look actively for other types of business. For example, we started to look inside the China market. This is a longer-term effort, given we have previously focused only on manufacturing for export. We are presently in a testing phase determining how best to enter the Chinese market given our core manufacturing business.  We are also evaluating a potential entirely new revenue stream – providing services for the Chinese market’s large and fast growing elderly population. As this would represent an entirely new business line, we are proceeding cautiously to test viability, while minimizing development costs. These new activities align with our long-term focus on reinvigorating revenue and profit growth, and building a more stable model that is not in a captive position. While these new activities will take time and burden in a limited way our existing business, we are confident we are moving in the right direction with the intention of moving the company into a stronger position over the coming year.”

Gross profit for the second quarter of fiscal year 2026 was $301,000 compared with $834,000 in the year ago period mainly due to the 44% decrease in sales over the same period. Gross profit as a percentage of sales for the second quarter of fiscal year 2026 was 25.5 percent, compared to 39.4 percent in the year ago period, primarily due to decreased sales. Gross profit for the first half of fiscal year 2026 was $828,000 compared with $1,495,000 in the year ago period. Gross profit as a percentage of sales for the first half of fiscal year 2026 was 30.4 percent compared with 37.4 percent in the year ago period.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the second quarter of fiscal year 2026 slightly increased to $843,000 from $724,000.

Net income for the second quarter of fiscal year 2026 reflects a currency exchange gain of $11,000 compared to a $58,000 gain in the year ago. The Company reported a currency exchange gain of $15,000 for the first half of fiscal year 2026, compared with a $96,000 gain in the year ago period.

Interest income was approximately $54,000 for the second quarter of fiscal year 2026 compared to approximately $97,000 for the first half of fiscal year 2026. The Company continues to benefit from the relatively high interest rates on fixed deposits despite the slight decrease in interest rates in the recent months. Upon review of its China tax position, the Company reversed a portion of its prior year’s income tax provision for a Chinese subsidiary.

The Company’s balance sheet remains strong, with total assets of $8.37 million and cash and cash equivalents in excess of $5.6 million, or approximately $1.21 per diluted share. The cash and cash equivalent amount exceeded all of its short- and long-term liabilities by approximately $3.2 million. Total shareholders’ equity at September 30, 2025, was $6.0 million, or $1.30 per diluted share.

“When We March Together”: Youth, Music, and the Future of China–US Relations


BEIJING, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 15 December 2025 – CGTN will release its new documentary “When We March Together” in January 2026, offering a refreshing look at China–US relations through the lens of youth and music. The film highlights a lesser-explored facet of the bilateral relationship—one driven by youthful energy, cooperation, and shared creativity.

image-1.jpeg

The documentary follows three American high school marching band students on an immersive journey across China. As they travel, rehearse, and perform with their Chinese counterparts, the young musicians forge connections that go beyond the stage. Their experience underscores the power of youth exchange and cultural collaboration in shaping the future of ties between the two countries.

Friendship That Breaks Down the Walls

At the core of the documentary is the story of American music director Jeff Wilson, who first traveled to China in 1987 as a student musician performing on the Great Wall—an event that became a pivotal moment in early cultural exchanges between the two nations.

“The beautiful thing we experienced in 1987 is that whenever we make music together, it immediately breaks down the walls,” Wilson says in the documentary. “It completely changed my perspective of the world. America and China—we’re all the same.”

Decades later, Wilson continues to bring American students to China, nurturing ties that span generations. His daughter Riley joined the latest group of visiting students, carrying forward this legacy.

In an age where information transcends distance, Wilson still emphasizes the importance of personal connections: “We need more face-to-face, eyeball-to-eyeball interaction, and less relying on the phone,” he says. “Screens don’t always show the truth—but meeting someone does.”

20251209WHEN WE MARCH Image 1.jpg

A Decade-Long Musical Reunion

A key moment in “When We March Together” is the reunion between Beijing 57 High School and Valley Christian High School from California. In 2013, the two schools made history at the Pasadena Rose Parade by forming the East Meets West Fusion Band—the first Chinese–American high school marching ensemble to perform jointly in the iconic New Year’s celebration.

Todd Ryan, the band’s US visual director, recalls the impact: “Each band wasn’t very large on its own, but when you combined them, the musicians were joyful to hear so much more volume. When you join together, it’s a powerful statement.”

The documentary revisits this shared history as the students reunite after more than a decade. Their performances—and the effortless camaraderie that quickly forms—bring the story “full circle,” highlighting the enduring power of collaboration.

Putting the Future in Young Hands

For the students, music serves a universal language. “Even if you don’t speak the same language, you’re playing the same one,” says drummer Thomas Trinh. “You can show off individually, but as a full group, you create something powerful. You learn to trust each other.” Daniel Hankins adds, “Collaboration is more fun than competitiveness.”

This spirit of unity resonates across both China and the US. “Marching means moving forward. When we march together, so does the friendship between our nations,” says Yang Guandao from Beijing 57 High School. “Finding what unites us, rather than divides us,” adds Aadit Saraogi from Clarksburg High School.

“Marching toward a wonderful future means putting the future in our children’s hands,” says Susan Eckerle, Director of Bands at Thomas S. Wootton High School. “They know how to treat people—and they do it well. Sometimes the adults just need to back off. Let the kids do it.”

Youth Exchange during Challenging times

Beyond its musical performances, “When We March Together” highlights the vital role youth exchanges can play in shaping China–US relations. The documentary shows how personal interactions can build lasting understanding and help bridge divides.

In 2023, Chinese President Xi Jinping announced a five-year initiative to invite 50,000 American students to China. The program gives young people from both nations the chance to meet, often for the first time, and form their own impressions, separate from political narratives.

As the documentary observes: “These students are quietly shaping a future where friendship and understanding might finally take center stage.”

When youth from both nations march together, they aren’t just creating music—they are composing the future.
