Ecube Car Rental Expands Car Rental Fleet to Meet Growing Demand in Singapore
SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 23 October 2025 – Ecube Car Rental, a leading provider of car leasing solutions in Singapore, has expanded its rental fleet with a range of new models to address rising demand in the market. The move underscores the company’s commitment to offering customers more choice, greater flexibility, and an enhanced rental experience at a time when car ownership is becoming increasingly costly.
Ecube Car Rental Expands Car Rental Fleet to Meet Growing Demand in Singapore
Beyond Inventory: Custom Selection for Long-Term Mobility
Unlike conventional rental companies that rely solely on fixed inventory, Ecube’s fleet expansion strategy is driven by a flexible, customer-first procurement model primarily focused on long-term leases (minimum one year). This service caters to a wide audience, including private-hire drivers, families, and corporate clients seeking dependable mobility without the commitment of purchasing a vehicle. Crucially, Ecube upholds a “no restrictions” policy: if a specific make or model is preferred, the company will source it to fulfil the rental commitment, ensuring every customer’s unique preferences are met.
Popular models recently procured include family-friendly multi-purpose vehicles (MPVs) such as the Toyota Noah and Toyota Voxy, premium options like the Toyota Alphard and Toyota Vellfire, and practical choices such as the Kia Niro and the Honda Freed. The fleet will also feature luxury models, including the Mercedes-Benz GLB 200 and CLA series, as well as the BMW X2 and 4 Series Gran Coupé.
Modern Features, Prompt Delivery, and Commitment to Value
The vehicles added to the rental fleet prioritise modern efficiency, with most models being hybrids, complemented by petrol and electric alternatives. Customers can expect standard features such as premium solar window films, front and rear recording cameras for security, and Android-based infotainment systems for seamless connectivity. Furthermore, for customers committing to leasing a brand-new car for three years or more, Ecube offers options to customise the vehicle’s specifications to match specific personal or business requirements.
Ecube’s customer-first approach also extends into the delivery process, ensuring prompt access to the chosen vehicle. The new vehicles are available once bookings are confirmed, with an estimated waiting period of two to four weeks to prepare each car. While brand-new vehicles are reserved exclusively for long-term car leasing, short-term options may be offered depending on overall fleet availability.
Offering a Hassle-Free Alternative to Car Ownership
According to Allen Lim, Director of Ecube Car Rental, the decision to expand the rental fleet was prompted by soaring car prices in Singapore, which have led many to reconsider the financial commitment of buying a car. Ecube aims to present a practical, cost-efficient alternative with their long-term rental solutions, removing the heavy administrative and financial responsibilities that come with ownership.
“With our services, customers will no longer have to deal with the hassles of ownership, such as yearly inspections, insurance, road tax, or unexpected breakdowns,” shared Mr Lim. “We provide 24-hour assistance, replacement cars in the event of accidents or breakdowns, and even personalised services for customers with special requirements.”
Ecube Car Rental remains committed to offering customers the best possible car leasing rates and value. For more information about their latest fleet additions and tailored rental options, visit www.ecubeauto.com.

ASEAN and Japan Unite Against Cyber Threats: the 2nd AJCCA Conference 2025 in Tokyo Highlights AI-Driven Defense and Regional Cooperation
|
TOKYO, Oct. 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — As cyberattacks grow more complex and global supply chains face rising digital risks, leaders from across ASEAN and Japan gathered in Tokyo for the 2nd AJCCA Conference 2025 in Tokyo, reaffirming their shared commitment to building a safer and more resilient digital future.
Hosted by the ASEAN-Japan Cybersecurity Community Alliance (AJCCA) in partnership with the Japan Network Security Association (JNSA), the event was held at Ichijo Hall, Yayoi Auditorium, The University of Tokyo, under the theme “Securing the Future with AI-Driven Cybersecurity and a Resilient Supply Chain.”
A Call for Regional Unity in the Face of Escalating Cyber Threats
Opening the conference, Yoichi Iida, National Cyber Director of Japan, warned that ASEAN and Japan have become some of the most frequently targeted regions for cyberattacks worldwide. He cited the ransomware incidents that hit Nagoya Port and Asahi Group Holdings as stark reminders of the economic disruption such attacks can cause.
Iida urged stronger coordination between governments and private sectors, emphasizing that “no single country or organization can fight these threats alone.” He called for a new model of collective cyber defense that crosses national and institutional boundaries.
AJCCA’s Framework: Collaboration, Capacity, and Connectivity
Keynote Speech by Dr. Rudi Lumanto, Chairman of AJCCA
Rudi Lumanto, Chairman of AJCCA, outlined the alliance’s guiding vision of three pillars — Collaboration, Capacity, and Connectivity — as the foundation for regional cyber resilience.
He explained that collaboration must go beyond information sharing to foster “synergistic programs and shared strategies.”
Capacity, he added, should harness AI to detect anomalies, predict threats, and automate response systems.
Connectivity, meanwhile, must ensure the security of entire supply chains — an urgent lesson from the Kaseya ransomware attack, where one weak link affected hundreds of organizations.
Japan’s Approach: Securing the Digital Economy
Toshikazu Okuya, Deputy Director General, Commerce and Information Policy Bureau at Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI), outlined Japan’s latest initiatives to counter new forms of cyber risk emerging in the AI era.
Referencing high-profile incidents like the ransomware attack on KADOKAWA, Okuya highlighted efforts such as the Cyber-Physical Security Framework (CPSF) and Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) to enhance global supply-chain transparency. He also reaffirmed Japan’s commitment to supporting SMEs and advancing collaboration with ASEAN countries to create “a safe and robust digital society.”
Voices from ASEAN: Co-Development and Future Readiness
A dynamic panel discussion brought together senior officials from ASEAN governments and AJCCA leadership to discuss collective development and next-generation defenses.
- Cambodia’s Phannarith Ou, Director General of MPTC emphasized the importance of community-based cyber resilience, integrating schools, SMEs, and civil society into the cybersecurity ecosystem.
- Malaysia’s Megat Zuhairy bin Megat Tajuddin, Chief Executive of NACSA called for ASEAN and Japan to act “as one nation” in developing shared technologies and training programs.
- Thailand’s Amorn Chomchoey, Secretary General of NCSA noted the high cost of Western security products and voiced his aim to co-develop more affordable, effective defense tools with regional partners.
- Singapore’s Ong Kok Wee, Assistant Chief Executive (Policy and Corporate Development), CSA urged proactive measures against the misuse of AI and underscored the need for research into quantum encryption and other advanced technologies.
Panel Discussion with Government and AJCCA Representatives
Honoring Cybersecurity Champions: The ACRA Awards
The evening reception at the Royal Park Hotel featured the AJCCA Cyber Resilience Awards (ACRA) — recognizing individuals across ASEAN and Japan who have made remarkable contributions to advancing national and regional cyber resilience.
2025 ACRA Awardees:
- Brunei: Muhammad Azizul Amir bin POKPADPS Awg Hj Hasrin
- Cambodia: Ren Phary
- Indonesia: Muhammad Nuh Al-Azhar
- Japan: Masahiro Shimomura
- Lao PDR: Sengxay Xayachack
- Malaysia: Ir. Dr. Megat Zuhairy bin Megat Tajuddin
- Philippines: Dr. Marlon I. Tayag
- Singapore: Prof. Alex Siow
- Thailand: Dr. Kumpol Sontanarat
- Vietnam: Vu Ngoc Son
- Special ACRA Award: Dr. Yoichi Shinoda (Japan)
A Stronger Digital Alliance for the Future
As the conference concluded, participants reaffirmed AJCCA’s role as a cornerstone platform for regional cybersecurity cooperation — a bridge connecting governments, industry, and academia across ASEAN and Japan.
Looking ahead, AJCCA pledged to continue strengthening its network and expanding collaboration to tackle emerging challenges such as AI misuse, critical-infrastructure protection, and supply-chain security — ensuring a trusted and resilient digital ecosystem for the region.

Tencent Cloud Recognized as a Representative Vendor in Gartner® Market Guide for Data Lakehouse Platforms
Cloud-Native Data Technology Solutions are Accelerating into the Global Mainstream
HONG KONG, Oct. 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — On September 23, Gartner released the Market Guide for Data Lakehouse Platforms report. Tencent Cloud, with DLC (Data Lake Compute), its cloud native serverless lakehouse engine, is listed in the 22 representative data lakehouse platform vendors worldwide.
Tencent Cloud, with DLC (Data Lake Compute), its cloud native serverless lakehouse engine, is listed in the 22 representative data lakehouse platform vendors worldwide.
Gartner points out in the report that “the lakehouse is now firmly established as the architecture that most organizations will seek to standardize on, either for new systems or when their existing Data Warehouses, Data Lakes, Logical Data Warehouses and other analytical systems are upgraded.” It combines the flexibility of data lake with the efficient management of data warehouse, enabling enterprises to conduct business intelligence (BI) and multiple data applications such as artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) on the same platform.
In this context, the global lakehouse market has entered a stage of accelerated integration and competition. In the report, Gartner lists a total of 22 representative vendors, covering traditional data warehouse vendors, data lake vendors, and query accelerator vendors. Tencent Cloud DLC is listed among the 22 world-leading vendors, which we believe demonstrates the continuous breakthroughs of Chinese data lakehouse platform vendors on open standards, computing performance, and intelligent integration.
As a cloud native lakehouse platform developed by Tencent Cloud, DLC can help enterprises integrate and use data efficiently, reducing system complexity and usage barriers. The platform is designed based on a cloud native architecture, with auto scaling and performance optimization capabilities, enabling enterprises to more efficiently handle tasks such as data analysis, modeling, and AI training.
In practical applications, DLC can help enterprises complete analysis and modeling on the same data resources, improve data utilization, and achieve a better balance between performance and cost. For example, a large retail enterprise in Southeast Asia used DLC to achieve Data+AI integrated training, and the performance-to-cost ratio increased by more than 70%.
Currently, Tencent Cloud DLC has helped more than 100 customers complete lakehouse architecture transformation, covering multiple industries such as Internet, education, and retail.

Eurofragance introduces Olivante®, its latest proprietary perfumery ingredient
|
- An innovative captive ingredient that delivers opulence in fine fragrances, personal care and air care scented products
- Olivante® is made by upcycling discarded olive pulp into a fragrance raw material through a 100% natural process
- It offers a natural alternative for Western and Middle Eastern fragrance consumers seeking richer, more caring experiences
JAKARTA, Indonesia, Oct. 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The multinational Eurofragance will unveil its fourth proprietary perfumery ingredient in Dubai at the Beautyworld Middle East trade show on October 27, 2025. The Spanish fragrance house’s latest exclusive raw material brings opulence to fragrance compositions. Opulence in perfumery is about offering consumers fragrances that are rich in terms of their ingredients. Olivante® does so in a manner that is more caring and sustainable.
Delivering opulence in fragrance creations
As a world leader in the design of Middle Eastern fragrances, Eurofragance welcomes Olivante® as a new addition to its palette of ingredients that can deliver opulence in fragrance creations, a sought-after characteristic in perfumes of the Gulf region. Phenolic, animalic notes reminiscent of castoreum are often appreciated in mukhallat-type creations, and Olivante® possesses many of these olfactive properties.
Olivante® is not only destined to a Middle Eastern target; but also can act as a highlighter of typical western world perfumery ingredients. Eurofragance Perfumers, who have been formulating with this innovative captive ingredient, state that with the inclusion of Olivante®, fruity notes become richer, gourmand notes more delightful and delectable, and certain white floral notes more intense. Because Olivante® is made from olive residual matter, following oil extraction, it does not have an oily smell.
Belén Garcia, Master Perfumer at Eurofragance who is composing with the raw material says: “In recent years we have seen how consumers in the West have opened up to Middle Eastern perfumery. Powerful notes of leather and oud have gained consumer acceptance well beyond the Gulf Region. Olivante® is multi-faceted and offers some of these olfactive aspects that are now appreciated across geographies.”
Upcycling olive pulp into a perfumery ingredient
In developing its fourth proprietary raw material, Eurofragance followed its sustainability philosophy. It collaborated with a partner in the olive oil industry who upcycles olive residues into various byproducts, following the extraction of oil from the olives.
Felipe San Juan, R&D Manager Ingredients and Fragrance Performance and Magdalena Rey, Technical Perfumer, both at Eurofragance, spent months scouring the Spanish countryside searching for the variety of olive with the right concentration of the desired volatiles and precursors.
Because different varieties of olives generate different odorant residues, this search was important to first identify the waste material with the most promising olfactive profile. They worked over a two-year period with a waste management engineer from a specific region of Spain to obtain the ideal original material. Eurofragance then transformed and refined it via an eco-friendly, multi-step purification process into a new perfumery ingredient that they named Olivante®.
The result is a 100% natural, upcycled fragrance raw material. San Juan states: “Olivante® cannot be made from any random olive pulp. Terroir and climate from a very specific region of Spain are key to this project. Then we applied our scientific expertise to characterize and separate the essential odorant molecules needed to develop a desirable captive ingredient.”
Olivante® is currently under patent review.
An iconic Mediterranean ingredient
The name Olivante® relates to the Levant, the birthplace of the olive tree, which was spread by Phoenicians westward across the Mediterranean to eventually reach Spain. Today, Eurofragance, the leading Spanish fragrance house, presents Olivante® a perfumery ingredient of Spanish heritage with global consumer appeal.
Sine Guçetil, Global Marketing Director at Eurofragance says the following about Olivante®: “Olivante® stands out for its ability to offer perfume richness, or opulence, in a manner that is fresher and less heavy. And, it’s not just intended for fine fragrances. Our initial trials formulating personal care and home fragrancing products with Olivante® are promising and we feel that this is a proprietary ingredient with strong potential for broader market adoption.”
In addition to proposing a new olfactive experience, this natural ingredient is likely to appeal to marketers looking to offer their consumers products with a sustainability story.

Eurofragance manufactures and markets the highest quality fragrances for worldwide brands in fine perfumery, home, personal and air care. The company is a privately held B2B enterprise founded on family values in Barcelona in 1990 and currently has over 550 employees.
