JINAN, China, Oct. 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — A report from Shandian news: 

In the first three quarters of this year, Weichai Group achieved a 6% year-on-year revenue growth. The international division made significant breakthroughs in overseas markets, with engine exports surging 30% year-on-year. The strategic emerging sectors demonstrated remarkable progress: the new energy business skyrocketed 122%, while the large-diameter data center business saw sales skyrocket 400%. At the Weichai Group 2025 Global Partners Conference on October 18, the company unveiled these high-quality development achievements in Qingdao to over 1,000 partners.

At the powertrain exhibition, Weichai showcased nearly 60 flagship powertrain products, creating a “Power Kingdom” spanning 2-340L displacement and 18-10,000kW power output. The lineup features the 6160A diesel engine – still operational after nearly half a century – and the WD615, the world’s best-selling single-engine model. Paired with the globe’s first diesel engine achieving 53.09% thermal efficiency, these exhibits epitomize Weichai’s 79-year evolution from “reliability” to “leadership”.

Over the past decade, Weichai has invested over 30 billion yuan in engine R&D, maintaining an R&D intensity exceeding 6%. The company has established ten cutting-edge innovation platforms overseas and developed the world’s only full-series “Golden Power” powertrain system. Weichai has mastered diverse energy technologies including high thermal efficiency diesel engines, pure electric systems, hydrogen internal combustion engines, methanol engines, hydrogen fuel cells, and solid oxide fuel cells, becoming the core link connecting Shandong Heavy Industry Group’s entire industrial chain and driving its advancement to the high end of the value chain.

 To meet global customers ‘diversified needs, Weichai deeply integrates the TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) lifecycle concept, leveraging its global service network covering 65 representative offices and over 8,000 service outlets to provide end-to-end solutions from preventive maintenance to rapid response, building lifelong win-win partnerships.

During the conference, CEOs of Weichai’s overseas subsidiaries also attended. For years, Weichai has adhered to cultural integration to promote industrial synergy, embracing the “We are One” philosophy. Over ten overseas subsidiaries including Italy’s Faraday, Germany’s Kion, America’s Dematic, PSI, and France’s Baudouin have achieved steady growth through strategic reorganization. Currently, Weichai’s multinational index stands at 40.93%.

This conference showcased Weichai’s technological achievements and development resilience as a globally influential industrial equipment multinational group. Moving forward, Weichai will continue collaborating with global partners to create value and build the strongest chain-integrated competitiveness.

Building on a record-breaking 2024, Radisson Hotel Group has carried its momentum into 2025, accelerating growth across EMEA and APAC while staying true to its Responsible Business commitments.

BRUSSELS, Oct. 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — With more than 210 signings and openings already secured this year, the Group is steadily advancing its transformation towards becoming one of the world’s most prominent hotel companies, anchored by a portfolio designed for today’s travellers and tomorrow’s priorities.  

Elie Younes, Executive Vice President and Global Chief Development Officer at Radisson Hotel Group, remarks: “The year so far has seen Radisson Hotel Group succeeding in our pursuit of excellence for customers and owners. Hotel openings have been carefully curated to what business and leisure travellers are seeking in 2025, and we have a very strong pipeline of hotel signings and anticipated openings.”   

In EMEA, Radisson Blu is cementing its position as Europe’s leading upper-upscale brand, with landmark signings and openings in France, Germany, Türkiye, and Montenegro. Among the highlights is The Medlock at Manchester City’s Etihad Stadium, an innovative partnership that redefines what a stadium hotel can be. Later this year, Radisson Blu CDG Airport Terminal Hotel, Paris will welcome travellers at one of Europe’s busiest gateways.

France has proven to be a key growth market across the Group’s portfolio, with luxury lifestyle brand Radisson Collection leading the charge. This year saw the long-awaited opening of Cour des Loges Lyon, A Radisson Collection Hotel and the signing of the historic Banke Opera Paris, A Radisson Collection Hotel, which will debut in 2026. The brand furthermore marked its arrival in Hungary with Radisson Collection Hotel, Basilica Budapest, a property that perfectly synthesizes historic grandeur with contemporary luxury, and reopened the Radisson Collection Hotel, Berlin in spectacular style. These milestones reinforce Radisson Collection’s role as the Group’s showcase for design, heritage, and modern hospitality.

Radisson RED‘s bold personality is gaining global momentum, with new hotels signed and opened across the UK, Romania, India, UAE, and Thailand. The brand reached a milestone with the opening of Radisson RED Oslo City Centre, A Verified Net Zero Hotel, the Group’s second Verified Net Zero hotel, underscoring its leadership in sustainable hospitality. In London, a partnership with PPHE Hotel Group will see the brand’s debut in the heart of the city, minutes from Liverpool Street Station. The partnership also introduced a striking design-led landmark in Rome, the art’otel Rome Piazza Sallustio.

Radisson Individuals has gone from strength to strength, offering crucial flexibility to Group stakeholders and growing to over 100 hotels in operation and under development since its launch in 2020. This year alone, the brand expanded its footprint across France, Portugal, Germany, Malta, and Kazakhstan, with new signings secured in the UK, Poland, Spain, Greece, Kyrgyzstan, Türkiye, India, and the Philippines. Recently, the brand’s emphasis on empowering owners and broadening guest choice has been cemented with the introduction of three exciting brand segments: Premier, Boutique, and Retreats.

The Radisson brand, too, continues to evolve with a mix of sustainability milestones and market firsts. Radisson Hotel Manchester City Centre, A Verified Net Zero Hotel opened as the Group’s first Verified Net Zero hotel while the brand entered new markets such as the Democratic Republic of Congo, Armenia, and Madinah, Saudi Arabia. In the UK, Radisson will anchor a landmark all-electric stadium development for Oxford United Football Club, setting a new benchmark for future-ready hospitality. Growth across APAC has been equally dynamic, with 13 new Radisson properties opening in India, Indonesia, Thailand, and Vietnam.

With the demand for leisure travel rising, Radisson Hotel Group continues to expand its resort portfolio, now comprising more than 160 properties. New openings and signings stretch from Asia to Europe, including across destinations as diverse as Vietnam, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, India, Montenegro, Poland, Romania, Egypt, and Armenia. Highlights include Radisson Hotel Cannes on the French Riviera, Radisson Collection The National Hotel, Brussels, a landmark golf-side retreat, and the debut of Radisson Collection Resort, Galle in Sri Lanka and Radisson Collection Resort & Spa, Jaipur in India. Together, these properties underscore the brand’s commitment to creating standout resort destinations in diverse and inspiring locations.

APAC continues to propel growth for the Radisson Hotel Group. In China, 130 hotels have been signed and opened in 2025, pushing the pipeline close to 300 hotels. Expansion is strongest in the mid- to upper mid-scale categories, led by Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, now the fastest-growing brand in China with a portfolio of 375 hotels. Major cities such as Wuhan, Beijing, Chongqing, Chengdu, Tianjin, and Shanghai remain central to the Group’s growth plan and expansion strategy, supporting both scale and depth across the market.

India has emerged as one of Radisson Hotel Group’s most dynamic markets, with the company surpassing a historic milestone of 200 hotels. Today, more than 130 properties are in operation and over 70 are under development, reinforcing the Group’s position as the leading organically growing international operator in the country. Fuelled by 59 new signings in just 18 months and expansion into 47 new cities, Radisson Hotel Group is well-positioned to deepen its presence and extend hospitality access with up to 500 hotels in the region by 2030.

“As we look ahead, our goal is clear: delivering meaningful value to our owners, creating memorable experiences for our guests, and driving responsible growth that strengthens communities worldwide,” concludes Younes.

New service enables unified, low-latency, and intelligent access to AI models worldwide

SINGAPORE, Oct. 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Zenlayer, the world’s first hyperconnected cloud, today announced the launch of Zenlayer AI Gateway, an intelligent API service that allows AI developers, researchers, and enterprises to access, integrate, and manage multiple large language models (LLMs) and AI services globally through a single interface.

As AI applications continue to boom globally, developers face growing complexity integrating diverse models, APIs, and data sources across regions. Each model provider comes with different interfaces, latency profiles, and cost structures — creating operational silos that slow innovation. Zenlayer AI Gateway eliminates this fragmentation by offering a unified entry point to world-class AI models, image and video generation APIs, and Zenlayer’s own distributed inference platform.

Built on Zenlayer’s massive global private network and 300+ distributed edge nodes, the gateway delivers ultra-low latency access to mainstream AI models such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Sora, Perplexity, DeepSeek, etc., as well as custom models. It intelligently routes requests based on location, load, and response time for optimal performance and efficient resource use. Mature models can go live the same day, with multi-provider aggregation ensuring high availability and seamless failover – all through a single Zenlayer account.

“Zenlayer AI Gateway breaks down barriers between models, regions, and providers — giving developers a seamless entry point to the world’s best AI resources.” said Joe Zhu, Founder & CEO of Zenlayer, “It’s how we turn connectivity into intelligence, and help power the future of global AI.”

Early customers are already seeing tangible results. A gaming company developing an AI emotional-interaction game used Zenlayer AI Gateway to unify access to multiple regional LLMs, connecting mainstream and minority-language users to their respective AI models in real time. By leveraging Zenlayer’s global acceleration and multi-model integration, the customer reduced developer workload by 30%, improved latency by 50%, and cut costs by 20%, delivering a faster and more inclusive AI gaming experience worldwide.

Zenlayer AI Gateway is a powerful addition to company’s AI-ready service suite and is now available for self-service online with simple, token-based pay-as-you-go pricing. The service will continue to expand support for emerging AI models and governance features, helping developers and businesses orchestrate complex AI capabilities with greater ease.

About Zenlayer

Zenlayer is the hyperconnected cloud that powers AI experiences through distributed inference and global connectivity. Businesses utilize Zenlayer’s on-demand compute and networking services to deploy and run applications at the edge. With 300+ points of presence across 50 countries, 180+ Tbps of global network bandwidth and over 10,000 direct connections to network and cloud providers, Zenlayer helps businesses reach 85% of the internet population within 25 ms.
