AVATR Showcases Star Models in Munich, as AVATR VISION XPECTRA Makes Global Debut Showcasing New Luxury Appeal

MUNICH, Sept. 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Mr. Chen Zhuo, President of AVATR Technology, stated at the “Brilliant New Horizon AVATR Brand Day” held in Munich on September 7, “AVATR is not merely an electric vehicle company. We embody high-end sophistication;  we are defined by intelligence and driven by design and technology. However, what truly defines us is emotion.”

On the same day, the world’s first Emotive Intelligent (EI) vision car, AVATR VISION XPECTRA, made its debut as the highlight of the event, vividly interpreting the brand philosophy of “Emotive Luxury.” In addition, AVATR also presented the limited-edition AVATR 012, co-created with Kim Jones; the bespoke AVATR 11 Royal Edition; the Urban Luxury SUV, AVATR 07; and the Luxury Sports Sedan, AVATR 06. These models will also be on display from September 9 to 14 at the 2025 Munich Auto Show, further highlighting the brand’s achievements in original design and intelligent technology.

As a tangible manifestation of the “Emotive Luxury” concept, AVATR VISION XPECTRA was born at AVATR’s Global Design Center in Munich, Germany, led by Chief Design Officer Nader Faghihzadeh. The center brings together nearly 200 creative talents from 25 countries. They integrate Europe’s design heritage and forward-looking aesthetic concepts with AVATR’s understanding of future intelligent vehicles, shaping AVATR’s unique design philosophy.

As Chief Design Officer, Nader explains, “AVATR VISION XPECTRA is an emotionally intelligent companion shaped by energy and connected by emotion. Here, every journey becomes a vivid declaration of Emotive Luxury.”

Named XPECTRA, AVATR’s all-new vision car aims to convey a sense of new luxury defined by seamless connection and multi-dimensional integration. Its design inspiration comes from “the power of natural energy”. The exterior, sculpted with clear and precise strokes, presents a bold and composed style, reflecting the contours of power. The interior deeply integrates selected materials with cutting-edge technology, creating an intelligent, personalized, immersive space, ensuring that every driving and mobility experience of the user resonates with energy.

More than just a mobility vehicle, XPECTRA is also a reflection of one’s inner self. Centered on an emotional vortex, it deeply understands user needs and establishes a real and profound emotional connection with users through resonant interaction of light and shadow, motion, and intuition. Furthermore, the Cortex innovative technology of XPECTRA, which combines touch and gesture control to adapt the level of emotional intelligence, allows users to seamlessly switch between advanced driver-assistance and fully autonomous modes. This delivers a future mobility experience that defies imagination and far exceeds expectations.

With Munich as its fulcrum, AVATR is accelerating its global expansion. In this process, AVATR will not only redefine the value perception of new luxury with “Emotive Luxury” but also fully inject its systematic R&D, manufacturing, and global synergy advantages into the brand’s core. Based on quality assurance from Changan’s forty years of engineering and manufacturing experience, CATL’s globally leading technology in battery safety and energy efficiency, and continuous innovation from ICT partners in smart mobility, AVATR has established full-link advantages across R&D, production, supply chain, and channels. Building on this foundation, through the collaborative layout of Chongqing, Shanghai, and Munich, AVATR is accelerating the creation of globally competitive intelligent luxury products.

Currently, AVATR has won the favor of approximately 190,000 car owners with its four models, 11, 12, 07, and 06, as well as two limited-edition flagship co-branded models, 011 and 012. It has long been ranked first in the luxury electric vehicle market in Thailand, established a prominent luxury brand image in the UAE, and won positive feedback in Singapore within a few weeks of its launch. This year, AVATR plans to enter over 50 countries and regions worldwide, establish a network of over 160 channels, and continuously accelerate its globalization process.

As a representative of original, intelligent, new luxury electric vehicles, AVATR is embracing a “Born Global” mindset and is committed to advancing original design and intelligent technology. The brand aims to shine on the global stage while accelerating its journey towards becoming a leading international name in the realm of new luxury intelligent electric vehicles. This achievement not only marks a significant global breakthrough for AVATR but also serves as a testament to the rising influence of Chinese automotive brands. It vividly illustrates the robust evolution of China’s intelligent manufacturing, transitioning from “large-scale” production to becoming “powerful”, and highlights its progression towards high-end markets.

Global Times: China’s ‘dual subsidies’ use targeted incentives to fuel spending spree

BEIJING, Sept. 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — On September 1, policies such as interest subsidies for qualifying personal consumption loans officially took effect, according to the Xinhua News Agency.

A netizen from people.cn asked recently that from the earlier large-scale equipment upgrades and trade-in of consumer goods to today’s “dual subsidies” – interest subsidies for personal consumption loans and loan subsidies to service sector businesses – what real benefits can these policies deliver? And how significant will their impact be in stimulating consumer demand?

Expanding domestic demand and boosting consumption have become key priorities in China’s current economic agenda. As numerous measures have been rolled out, the public remains highly attentive to their effectiveness.

On July 30, 2025, a Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee Political Bureau meeting stressed the need to effectively unleash potential in domestic demand, and encourage goods consumption while fostering new growth drivers of services consumption. Against this backdrop, the launch of the “dual subsidies” policy has been described as “timely, precise, and steady.”

So, what tangible benefits will these measures deliver?

Take two simple examples. If a consumer takes out a loan of 200,000 yuan ($28,039) for home renovation, furniture, and appliances, with an assumed annual interest rate of 3 percent, he would save up to 2,000 yuan in interest thanks to the 1-percentage-point subsidy. Similarly, if a restaurant applies for a 1-million-yuan loan to upgrade its kitchen and facilities, the subsidy would save the business around 10,000 yuan in interest costs.

From daily dining to major household appliances, from essential spending in childcare, elderly care, and healthcare to developmental and leisure spending on education and travel – all of these categories are covered by the loan interest subsidy policy, which spans a wide range of spending. While a 1-percentage-point reduction may not sound large, when it translates into direct savings for households and businesses, the effect is significant.

But will these subsidies really spur consumer lending?

Let’s look at the data. According to data from the People’s Bank of China, the central bank, by the end of 2024, the outstanding balance of household consumption loans, excluding house mortgages, reached 21.01 trillion yuan, marking a year-on-year growth of 6.2 percent. Meanwhile, a study by financial regulators shows that after the introduction of consumer finance products, borrowers’ spending increased by 16 to 30 percent, while participating merchants’ sales increased by about 40 percent.

Yet gaps remain in consumer credit supply. A survey by Southwestern University of Finance and Economics indicates that the gap between households’ demand rate for consumer credit and their actual participation rate widened from 2.5 percentage points in 2019 to 5.3 percentage points in 2021.

The “dual subsidies” policy not only covers major household spending but also cuts borrowing costs, helping to ease the mismatch between supply and demand in consumer credit services. Coupled with the nationwide trade-in subsidy program, the combined benefits will be even greater, unlocking stronger demand from middle-income groups. At present, financial institutions across the country have already begun implementing related services, and the policy’s impact is eagerly awaited.

From strengthening the large-scale equipment upgrades and trade-in of consumer goods to gradually implementing free preschool education and childcare subsidies, from establishing a 500-billion-yuan re-lending facility for service consumption and elderly care to the latest “dual subsidies,” fiscal, financial, industrial, and livelihood-oriented measures have all been coordinated since last year. Together, these interlinked policies aim to build household confidence and willingness to spend – reflecting a “heartfelt” approach.

Consider the consumer goods trade-ins. By the first half of 2025, government subsidies under the policy had spurred more than 2.9 trillion yuan in new consumption, benefiting around 400 million people. Since the start of 2025, 82,000 retail outlets nationwide have participated in the trade-ins for electric bicycles, resulting in the replacement of more than 9.05 million new vehicles.

But how can these “heartfelt” policies genuinely win over consumers? On the one hand, product quality must be improved. On the other, consumption order must be regulated, and new demand must be cultivated. When it comes to creating new demand, the possibilities are vast.

In Wuhan, Central China’s Hubei Province, the Yellow Crane Tower scenic area launched the glowing-in-the-dark refrigerator magnets called “crane dance in lights.” Blending cultural heritage with modern creativity, the product has racked up sales of more than 10 million yuan, making it a hit souvenir among tourists.

In Zhengzhou, Central China’s Henan Province, the “Everything-Connected Sky Supermarket” uses drones to deliver goods, with some orders reaching helipads in as little as five minutes – offering consumers a novel and convenient shopping experience.

Meanwhile, desk ornaments and phone cases featuring phrases like “No worries, it’s all good” have gone viral online. Among the “top 10 products of 2024” listed by e-commerce platforms, more than half were linked to providing consumers with emotional value.

Clearly, understanding consumer psychology and understanding their preferences are key to creating new demand and driving spending. In the end, it comes down to one word: innovation.

From the large-scale equipment upgrades and trade-in of consumer goods to “dual subsidies,” these policies are genuine, and the subsidies involve real money. With China’s vast market capacity, enterprises must seize these policy dividends while also putting forward effective innovations. With both the government and the market working in tandem, there is every reason to believe that efforts to boost consumption will bear fruit.

Gorilla Technology Secures AI Government Intelligence Platform Win in Asia

Solidifies position as prime vendor for AI-based Internet Protocol Detail Record analytics in the APAC region


London, United Kingdom – Newsfile Corp. – September 8, 2025 – Gorilla Technology Group Inc. (NASDAQ: GRRR) (“Gorilla” or the “Company”), a global solution provider in Security Intelligence, Network Intelligence, Business Intelligence and IoT technology, today announced it has secured another major government win in APAC this year, reinforcing its position as the region’s trusted partner for AI-powered law enforcement modernisation and sovereign intelligence infrastructure. This newly awarded one-year contract is valued in the tens of millions of dollars and will enable AI-first smart policing GPU-as-a-Service for one of Asia’s most advanced national investigative bureaus responsible for high-level cybercrime and digital intelligence investigations.

Building on the momentum of its recent 5G AI Lawful Interception platform win, this project marks Gorilla’s second consecutive AI-led national enforcement deployment in 2025 alone and appoints Gorilla the prime vendor for ground-breaking AI-based IPDR (Internet Protocol Detail Record) analytics in the APAC region.

“Gorilla is delivering mission-critical security and intelligence systems to forward-thinking regions,” said Jay Chandan, Chairman and CEO of Gorilla Technology. “We have positioned Gorilla as a foundational AI partner in the APAC region, and we are building a strong track record in advancing AI-first national platforms across smart policing, GPU-as-a-Service data centres, cross-border intelligence, and digital forensics. As this is our second win in a fortnight, it is clear we are dominating the AI infrastructure market opportunity in APAC. This is what leadership in applied AI looks like and we are just beginning.”

The system is designed to enable national, investigative agencies to retrieve and reconstruct historical network traffic using advanced AI models-capabilities that were previously unattainable in the region’s cybercrime enforcement landscape. Gorilla will lead the delivery effort in collaboration with regional partners to ensure rapid execution and long-term scalability. Gorilla will also be focusing on AI compute scale-up, edge-cloud federation, and national model training capabilities.

The platform will deploy Gorilla’s proprietary AI inference engines, enabling authorities to mine historical digital footprints, reconstruct communication chains and identify anomalous behaviours across petabytes of network metadata. Designed for real-time decision support and post-incident forensics, the solution puts Gorilla at the heart of national cyber-resilience efforts across Asia.

“Governments across the region are no longer looking for point solutions. They are looking for long-term AI partners who can deliver scale speed and sovereign control,” said Jackie Wang, Gorilla Technology General Manager, ASIA (ex. India). “This win proves our strategy is working. That is exactly what Gorilla offers.”
