Highly Debuts Advanced, Energy-Efficient Thermal Management Systems for Electric Vehicles at Japan Mobility Show 2025

TOKYO, Nov. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Shanghai Highly (Group) Co., Ltd. ( “Highly” or the “Group”), a global provider of integrated thermal management systems for electric vehicles, presented its latest innovations at the Japan Mobility Show (formerly the Tokyo Motor Show) 2025, held at Tokyo Big Sight. Joined by its subsidiaries Highly Marelli, Highly New Energy Technology, and Highly Electrical Appliances, the Group unveiled its latest portfolio of vehicle thermal systems and technologies at one of the industry’s most influential global showcases.

As a world center for automotive engineering and innovation, Japan brings together deep technical expertise and partnership opportunities across leading global automakers. Through long-term strategic collaboration, Highly Marelli has built out a complete thermal management footprint in Japan encompassing research, production, and operations. The subsidiary supplies advanced systems to OEMs including Nissan, Mitsubishi, and Honda, making Japan one of Highly’s most significant international markets. To further bolster its market position, expand collaboration, and enhance its international presence, Highly displayed a range of high-efficiency and environmentally responsible automotive thermal management solutions.

Heat Pump Thermal Management Systems for EVs

At the show, Highly Marelli highlighted two key themes — “Comfort Cabin” and “Efficient Thermal Management.” Through a structured showcase progressing “from components to systems,” the company demonstrated its engineering depth in both precision component design and full-system integration.

The company unveiled its new indirect heat pump thermal management systems for electric vehicles, integrating an electric compressor, high-voltage coolant heater, and electronic controller. Compared with traditional PTC heating technology, vehicles equipped with this system can significantly extend their driving range in cold weather. The design captures and reuses waste heat from components such as traction motors and power electronics to warm the battery and cabin, improving overall system efficiency. The system offers 18 customized comfort modes, offering precise temperature control, dehumidification, and defogging functions for year-round driving.

(Note: Ultra-compact air conditioners, dual-stream air conditioners, and agent-side modules currently under development were not exhibited at this event.)

High-Efficiency Scroll Compressors for Low-Temperature Heat Pump Systems

In the core propulsion subsystem for EV thermal management, Highly New Energy unveiled its next-generation lineup of scroll compressors. The new 28CC, 34CC, and 45CC high-efficiency heat pump series precisely meet the thermal management needs of A00-D-class vehicles, achieving reliable performance across the full temperature range — from heating at –30°C to cooling at 55°C. Featuring a compact, modular design, the compressors are 10% smaller than typical industry units and deliver a 5% gain in coefficient of performance (COP), giving automakers a high-efficiency, premium-grade solution. In addition, the newly launched integrated low-temperature heat pump products enhance heating efficiency by 20% compared with split systems under –30°C conditions, effectively addressing one of the major technical challenges of range loss in winter for electric vehicles.

CO₂ Rotary Compressor for Mobility Applications

A recognized leader in rotary compression technology, Highly Electrical Appliances continues to expand the use of rotary systems across new mobility applications. At this year’s event, the company featured its next-generation CO₂ rotary compressor, combining high energy efficiency and environmental performance in a compact, lightweight package. Designed for both 400V and 800V architectures, the unit delivers reliable operation at temperatures as low as –40°C, providing OEMs with a versatile, energy-efficient option for diverse EV and hybrid platforms.

Highly’s latest technologies drew strong interest from industry engineers, analysts, and journalists. Japan’s leading automotive publication Response conducted an in-depth technical interview with the company, while global information platform MarkLines and other media outlets ran coverage previewing Highly’s presence at the show.

Looking Ahead
Highly plans to deepen its long-term presence in Japan by broadening technical partnerships with domestic automakers. With its portfolio of high-efficiency, integrated, and low-carbon systems, the Group aims to help accelerate the global shift toward electrified and intelligent mobility — and reinforce its position as a leading global supplier of EV thermal management technology.

 

 

Dreame Unveils Premium Aqua & Matrix Robotic Cleaners in Australia and New Zealand

SYDNEY, Nov. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Dreame Technology is “Rolling Through Summer” with the launch of a premium lineup of robotic cleaners in Australia and New Zealand. The launch introduces three powerful new models — the Aqua10 Ultra Roller, the Aqua10 Ultra Track S, and the flagship Matrix10 Ultra — all designed to solve the toughest floor-cleaning challenges in mixed-flooring households.

This new generation of cleaners is powered by industry-leading AI and features two groundbreaking world-first innovations: the AutoSeal™ Roller Guard (which physically seals the mop to protect carpets from dampness) and the Smart Multi-Mop Switching System (allowing automatic switching mop types based on the room or floor type).

Aqua10 Ultra Series: Real-Time Fresh Water Mopping

The Aqua10 Ultra Series directly addresses the limitations of traditional systems in homes with both hard floors and carpet. Its AquaRoll™ Mopping technology ensures genuinely deep-clean results by using continuous, fresh water.

Key features of the Aqua Series include:

  • Real-Time Fresh Water Delivery: A 12-nozzle spray system keeps the oversized 26cm roller mop consistently damp with clean water throughout the cycle, applying 12N of downward pressure for powerful scrubbing action on stubborn stains.
  • World-First AutoSeal™ Roller Guard: When the robot transitions onto carpet, this smart guard automatically closes over the roller mop to prevent water from dripping, protecting the carpet from dampness and odors.
  • FluffRoll™ Tech: A secondary high-speed motor spins a fluffing roller in the opposite direction, loosening the dense mop fibers to reach deep into floor cracks and effectively clean dried-on stains.
  • NVIDIA-Powered Obstacle Intelligence: Using two HD AI cameras and continuous reinforcement learning, the robot captures depth and 3D details, enabling ultra-precise dynamic obstacle avoidance of over 240 objects.
  • Hot Water Washing & Drying: The dock heats the washboard up to 100°C for superior oil and grease removal, followed by an advanced system that dries the mops with 70°C hot air and heating bars, which prevents moisture buildup.
  • ProLeap™ System: Robotic retractable legs lift the chassis, allowing the robot to easily navigate complex terrains like door sills and small steps without getting stuck.

Matrix10 Ultra: The Multi-Mop Switching Solution

The flagship Matrix10 Ultra introduces the world’s first Smart Multi-Mop Switching Robot Vacuum. It features a Multi-Mop Switching Dock and a Three-Solution Compartment, allowing the vacuum to automatically select and use the perfect cleaning approach for any area. The dock can hold up to three different mop types — including nylon-bristled scrubbing pads for kitchen grease, sponge water-locking pads for bathrooms, and thermal pads for general use — switching them based on the specific room or need. The Three-Solution Compartment allows for tailored formulas, such as pet odor removal or wood floor care.

Availability

Also launching is the AU-customised Dreame L50 Ultra, featuring 20kPa suction power and inheriting the heavy-duty ProLeap 60mm threshold-climbing system.

Available now through Dreame’s official website AU and Dreame’s official website NZ, Amazon, and retailers. Priced from 2,499 AUD for the Aqua10 Roller, to 3,499 AUD for the Matrix10 Ultra.

Psychology Degree at SIM Global Education: Nurturing the Next Generation of Mental Health Professionals


SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 5 November 2025 – SIM Global Education (SIM GE), in collaboration with the University at Buffalo (UB) and the University of Wollongong (UOW), offers accredited undergraduate psychology degrees designed to meet Singapore’s growing demand for mental health professionals.

Addressing National Mental Health Needs

Singapore is grappling with increasing mental health challenges. According to the TELUS Mental Health Index (2024), nearly one-third of Singaporean workers score 50 or below on the mental health scale, indicating a high risk of psychological issues. The impact of a sluggish global economy and a tightening job market has exacerbated stress levels among workers. A study by Milieu Insight (2024) revealed that 52% of employees in Singapore report a low quality of life at work, highlighting the urgent need for mental health support.

To address this growing concern, Singapore plans to increase the number of psychologists in the public sector by 40%, aiming to meet the rising demand for mental health services (Channel News Asia, 2024).

The SIM-UB and SIM-UOW psychology programme equips students with both theoretical knowledge and practical skills, preparing them to effectively address psychological issues in diverse settings.

Shaping Future Psychologists with a Global Perspective

SIM-UB offers a full American psychology degree in Singapore. The three-year curriculum encompasses foundational and advanced topics in cognitive, clinical, and social psychology. Students also have the opportunity to explore interdisciplinary subjects such as communication, sociology, and business, allowing them to tailor their education to their career aspirations. This diverse curriculum provides a strong liberal arts foundation alongside core psychological knowledge.The programme emphasizes experiential learning through internships, research projects, and community engagement, enabling students to apply their knowledge in real-world contexts.

Similarly, SIM-UOW offers the Bachelor of Psychological Science, which is accredited by the Australian Psychology Accreditation Council (APAC). The programme adopts a scientist-practitioner model that integrates research-led teaching with practical, hands-on learning. Students engage in case studies, applied research projects, and community- based experiences, preparing them to tackle real-world mental health challenges with confidence and competence.

A solid education in psychology at SIM GE opens doors to further academic pursuits and professional opportunities. According to SIM’s 2023 Graduate Employment Survey, over 85% of psychology graduates were employed or enrolled in postgraduate programmes within six months of graduation. Indeed Singapore (2025) reports that psychologists earn an average monthly base salary of S$4,732, with experienced professionals earning significantly more. Graduates are well-positioned for careers as psychologists, behaviour modification caseworkers, public relations consultants, and more.

Cultivating Empathy with a Global Perspective

SIM GE’s psychology programme equips students to meet Singapore’s growing mental health needs with empathy, cultural awareness, and practical skills. Through interactive classes, real-world case studies, and cross-cultural modules, students gain a global outlook and local relevance.

With over 30% of international students, the learning environment fosters diverse perspectives. Internships and research projects in areas like child psychology and organisational behaviour provide hands-on experience that prepare graduates for impactful careers.

SIM GE nurtures professionals who listen, observe, and act with compassion—ready to support individuals, workplaces, and communities.

SIM Global Education Strengthens Role in Singapore’s Growing Transnational Education Landscape


SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 5 November 2025 – As Singapore cements its position as a leading hub for transnational education (TNE), SIM Global Education (SIM GE) continues to expand its globally recognised academic offerings through established partnerships with the University of London (UK), RMIT University (Australia), and the University at Buffalo (USA).

A Shifting Higher Education Landscape

Over the past decade, Singapore’s higher education system has evolved rapidly, with locally delivered foreign degrees gaining strong acceptance. According to the 2024 Graduate Employment Survey by SkillsFuture Singapore (SSG), 74.8% of graduates from Private Education Institutions (PEIs), including SIM GE, found employment within six months of graduation.

“While our scale has grown, our purpose has remained unchanged for the past 60 years. We have always been committed to maximising and developing potential through accessible and flexible learning pathways,” said Professor Wei Kwok Kee, President and CEO of the Singapore Institute of Management, in an interview with The Straits Times.

This dedication to academic quality, transparency, and global collaboration has helped SIM GE earn recognition as one of Singapore’s most trusted providers of transnational education.

Affordability and Flexibility Drive Participation

Affordability and flexibility continue to be key factors influencing education choices among students and professionals. Studying for a foreign degree locally at SIM GE allows learners to save on relocation and living costs while receiving the same high-quality curriculum offered at partner universities overseas.

SIM GE’s flexible delivery options, including part-time study and hybrid learning formats, cater to working adults who need to balance professional and academic commitments. These learning modes reflect Singapore’s national emphasis on lifelong learning and workforce adaptability.

As more learners seek global credentials without the financial burden of overseas study, SIM GE’s model of accessible education continues to gain popularity across Singapore and the region.

Quality Assurance and Local Relevance

Academic excellence and transparency form the foundation of SIM GE’s operations. The institution holds the EduTrust-Star certification, the highest quality mark awarded to private education providers in Singapore. It undergoes regular audits to ensure its curriculum and assessments remain aligned with international standards.

SIM GE’s programmes integrate globally benchmarked content with a strong local context. This ensures graduates are not only academically capable but also industry-ready. The focus on applied learning and workforce relevance has strengthened both student confidence and employer trust.

Bridging Employer Perceptions

While some employers still prefer graduates from autonomous universities or full-time overseas study, attitudes are changing. According to SkillsFuture Singapore (2024) and Human Resources Online (2025), median starting salaries for PEI graduates now average about S$3,500 compared to S$4,500 for public university graduates. The difference continues to narrow as companies place greater emphasis on skills and performance. SIM GE’s applied learning model, focus on digital competencies, and engagement with industry mentors have enhanced graduate employability. Many SIM GE alumni are now thriving in diverse sectors, demonstrating adaptability and real-world problem-solving skills that employers value highly.

Singapore’s Emerging Education Hub

The rise of foreign degrees in Singapore is reshaping global education dynamics. Leading international universities increasingly view Singapore as a strategic anchor for TNE across Asia. Supported by a robust regulatory framework and a future-ready economy, Singapore has become both a gateway and a hub for academic collaboration and global talent mobility.

SIM GE exemplifies this transformation. Through its university partnerships, rigorous academic standards, and responsiveness to workforce needs, SIM GE translates international quality into local impact. Its programmes offer global exposure while ensuring alignment with Singapore’s economic priorities.

Looking ahead, demand for internationally recognised degrees in Singapore is expected to remain strong. As employers seek graduates with both global competence and local insight, institutions like SIM GE are poised to lead the next phase of growth—bridging education and employability and reinforcing Singapore’s position as Asia’s trusted education hub.
