About AlUla and Arts AlUla

Located 1,100 km from Riyadh, in North-West Saudi Arabia, AlUla is a place of extraordinary natural and human heritage. The vast area, covering 22,561km², includes a lush oasis valley, towering sandstone mountains and ancient cultural heritage sites dating back thousands of years to when the Lihyan and Nabataean kingdoms reigned.

The most well-known and recognised site in AlUla is Hegra, the principal southern city of the Nabataean Kingdom and Saudi Arabia’s first UNESCO World Heritage Site. AlUla is also home to ancient Dadan, the capital of the Dadan and Lihyan Kingdoms and considered to be one of the most developed 1st millennium BCE cities of the Arabian Peninsula, and Jabal Ikmah, an open air library of hundreds of inscriptions and writings in many different languages. AlUla Old Town Village, a labyrinth of more than 900 mudbrick homes was developed from at least the 12th century and has been revitalised as the vibrant hub for visitors and residents.

The creation of Arts AlUla within The Royal Commission for AlUla (RCU) is a commitment to crafting the next chapters in a millennia of artistic creation – celebrating cultural inheritance and shaping a future inspired by artists built be artists. The work of Arts AlUla seeks to preserve this legacy: fuse the old with the new; the local with the international, keeping the arts central to the spirit of AlUla as a place of extraordinary natural and human heritage.

YANTAI, China, Feb. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Raythink Technology Co., Ltd. (“Raythink”) today announced the global release of its EV Lithium-ion Battery Safety White Paper, introducing a three-layer integrated thermal safety baseline. The system addresses key gaps in traditional lithium-ion battery safety monitoring and enables proactive, full-lifecycle management of EV battery thermal risks.

Three-Layer System for Proactive Safety

Raythink’s thermal safety baseline consists of three complementary layers that work alongside existing safety and control systems:

Layer 1: Reliable thermal cameras for harsh environments, placed at production lines, storage facilities, and other critical areas.
Layer 2: The VIS3000 cloud platform centralizes thermal data, enabling safety teams to analyze trends, review incidents, and document compliance.
Layer 3: Thermal Vision integrates with existing safety systems like BMS, fire alarms, and DCS, creating a unified, traceable safety network.

Together, these layers form a scalable, integrated thermal safety baseline that enhances proactive risk detection across the lithium-ion battery lifecycle.

Key Advantages of Raythink’s Thermal-Safety Baseline

Built on this foundation, the system provides multiple advantages. Its greatest strength lies in establishing a unified thermal safety baseline that spans the entire EV battery lifecycle.

Most monitoring solutions in practice remain fragmented: different stages rely on independent systems, making it difficult to maintain continuous, traceable safety oversight. In contrast, Raythink’s approach can be applied across key environments, including production and assembly lines, testing laboratories, storage facilities, charging and energy storage sites, and hazardous waste handling and recycling.

The unified system consolidates thermal data from all environments onto a single platform, generating valuable data-driven insights and delivering multiple benefits, including quality inspection and process insights beyond lithium-ion battery safety.

Industry Value and ROI

As EV adoption accelerates under policies such as the EU’s 2035 zero-emission targets, battery safety compliance is increasingly mandatory. Thermal Vision not only supports compliance with regulations such as the EU Battery Regulation and UNECE GTR No. 20, but also helps optimize production quality, prevent costly incidents, and reduce downtime, offering measurable long-term ROI.

About Raythink 

With over 16 years of thermal imaging expertise, Raythink delivers industrial thermal monitoring solutions across diverse applications, serving leading manufacturers in the lithium-ion battery and new energy sectors.

– Secured 9.17 billion USD in orders, exceeding the core components target (7.45 billion USD) by 23% despite EV chasm
– Diverse advanced portfolio, including Battery Systems Assembly (BSA) and next-gen electronic components, drove results
– Customer base expanded from major automakers in North America and Europe to emerging markets such as China and India
– Overseas orders accelerating on the back of leading technologies, with a target of 11.84 billion USD in core components (8.97 billion USD) and modules this year

SEOUL, South Korea, Feb. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Hyundai Mobis announced that it secured 9.17 billion USD in orders from global automakers last year, excluding Hyundai Motor and Kia. This figure exceeds its original target of 7.45 billion USD by 23%.

These results were driven by a combination of large-scale new orders for electrification components, expanded supply of high value-added electronic components, and proactive market penetration in emerging economies such as China and India, the company said on 2.

The achievement is particularly noteworthy given that many global automakers have been revising their new vehicle launch plans amid the ongoing EV chasm. The results reflect Hyundai Mobis’s sustained investment in R&D over recent years to strengthen its leadership in advanced technologies, which is now translating into tangible overseas orders from global customers.

For this year, Hyundai Mobis has set an aggressive global order target of approximately 11.84 billion USD, representing an increase of about 30% from last year. The target reflects continued core-components orders at a similar level to last year, alongside consideration of large-scale module orders, supported by region-specific sales strategies and close collaboration with key customers.

• Large Electrification Components and Module Orders from North America and Europe Drive Strong Performance

Last year, Hyundai Mobis secured orders from two major global customers in North America and Europe to supply key electrification components such as Battery Systems Assembly (BSA) and chassis modules. In line with contractual practices, confidentiality requirements, and potential changes prior to mass production, the company did not disclose customer names or detailed contract values. However, these orders are understood to account for a significant portion of last year’s total order volume.

Hyundai Mobis expects long-term partnership benefits from its electrification and module orders. Large-scale components such as BSAs and chassis modules require joint investments in production facilities and logistics systems, often resulting in supply contracts lasting 10 to 20 years or more. In fact, Hyundai Mobis has maintained a close partnership with Chrysler (now Stellantis) for over 20 years since it began supplying chassis modules to the company in 2005.

• Broad Electronic Components Portfolio Converts into Orders

Hyundai Mobis also delivered solid order results in electronic components, a high value-added business segment. It secured orders for advanced Human-Machine Interface (HMI) products from another major North American customer and agreed to expand the supply of sound systems to a sedan-focused brand.
*HMI: display systems that provide various driving information through communication between humans and machines (vehicles).

The next-generation HMI secured through this order is a flagship electronic component that Hyundai Mobis is cultivating as a global market leader, distinguished by its advanced technologies that set it apart from competitors. The company is currently engaged in active discussions with other global customers to further expand orders.

Sound systems are another product category where Hyundai Mobis has been increasing its presence among premium brands. While overseas automakers have traditionally favored domestically developed sound systems, Hyundai Mobis successfully overcame this preference through technological competitiveness.

Meanwhile, Hyundai Mobis has diversified its customer base for core components such as braking, steering, and safety systems in emerging markets including China and India. In India, the company’s tailored component supply strategy for local brands proved effective as their market share continued to rise. In China as well, Hyundai Mobis secured new orders from local EV brands by leveraging its differentiated sourcing competitiveness.

Jae-mok Cho, Head of Global Sales at Hyundai Mobis, said, “While uncertainty in the external business environment is expected to persist this year, we plan to step up our order-acquisition efforts and surpass last year’s performance by leveraging our core competitiveness in electrification and electronic components.”
