GEODIS Takes Delivery of Fully Equipped Mercedes Trucks to Service its Expanding Asian Road Network

Seven Mercedes-Benz Actros tractor units will be added to GEODIS’ fleet of prime movers in the Asia-Pacific Region (APAC).  The leased vehicles are equipped with the latest security and safety technology and will be utilized on the logistics operator’s owned network in Southeast Asia.

 

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 10 February 2022 – Supplied by the manufacturer’s Malaysian distributor, Hap Seng Trucks Distribution Sdn Bhd and leased from Euroasia Total Logistics (ETL), the new Actros 5 models will be the first of their type to be sold by Mercedes-Benz in Malaysia.

 

GEODIS has recently expanded its road network in the region with service destinations in Vietnam added to its existing full and partial load service linking Singapore with Malaysia and Thailand.  The network will eventually connect with Chinese markets on a day-definite, door-to-door basis delivering a road transport alternative to the more costly air, and slower ocean, options.

 

Lakshmanan Venkateswaran, Sub-Regional Managing Director – South East Asia of GEODIS said, “The rapid expansion of our road mode offerings along the spine of Southeast Asia’s economic backbone has resulted in more than 50% increase in volumes since the service’s inception in late 2019.  Linking Singapore to Kuala Lumpur and Bangkok, and now into Vietnam our owned network brings reliable transit-times and cargo security. This new equipment will further enhance these service attributes and aid the fast-growing businesses of our high-tech, retail, ecommerce and FMCG customers.”

 

The supply of the Mercedes-Benz Actros tractor units breaks new ground for general distributor Hap Seng Truck Distribution Sdn Bhd. “The units feature state-of-the-art safety and security technology including fifth generation Active Brake Assist, Lane Keeping Assist and MirrorCam in place of a conventional rear-view mirror. The MirrorCam is truly innovative and aerodynamically sophisticated. This creates a saving on fuel of up to 1.3% and offers improved visibility to the rear and in the area of the A-pillar. The MirrorCam also provides added safety during manoeuvring by panning the camera image according to the vehicle’s movements,” commented Mr. Derrick Sim Leng Huat, Chief Executive of Hap Seng Trucks Distribution Sdn Bhd. 

 

The Actros 5 have been delivered at a Key Handover Session in Kuala Lumpur on January 15 at which the lease provider Euroasia Total Logistics (M) Sdn Bhd’s Group CEO, Mr Darren Lee said, “It is not just the safety features of these trucks that make them a superior choice but also their improved fuel efficiency and longer service intervals in comparison with older models.  Downtime is reduced with regular maintenance required only every year (or 55,000 km); a significant upgrade over the industry standard of six months (or 30,000 km).  There are few competitors that can match their performance and we applaud GEODIS decision to employ them.” 

These vehicles are further equipped to ensure the cargoes are well protected. The keyless starting and remote key access ensure that the driver’s presence is in close proximity to the vehicle at all times together with the remote key, otherwise the vehicle cannot be operated. In addition, specially designed door extensions conceal the access steps into the vehicle which enhances safety and contribute to theft protection.

 

Since March 2021, GEODIS has expanded its road network capabilities by offering both standard and personalized solutions including its RoadDirect, RoadFast, and RoadSave services. GEODIS balances transit time and costs to ensure customers can tailor the solution that best fits their needs.

 

In conclusion, Lakshmanan Venkateswaran said, “If ASEAN aspires to see more freight traffic, road borders must see improvement in clearance procedures. Belt road initiatives need the ASEAN countries to harmonize the documentation required to transit their territories. Our owned network and trusted partners play a role in coping with these obstacles, but improvements would be welcomed.  Just so our investment in better vehicles will assist with the challenge of driver recruitment and retention”.

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach – 10 February 2022 – The ‘HIFU’ beauty treatment is a popular technology in recent years, it is absolutely not strange to all ladies who love beauty. 

 

HIFU technology continues to improve, it can stimulate the proliferation of subcutaneous collagen without any feeling of pain, so that the skin can be more firmed and wrinkled, also improving the contours, regaining a ‘V’ shaped face! And yet, Pretty Beauty Group has introduced the world’s first 10THERA ‘2-line irradiating’ HIFU beauty instrument! 10THERA is the world’s first HIFU beauty device that uses double simultaneous irradiation. It has a shorter operating time than single-line HIFU devices on the market, and it is more effective to achieve the effect of lifting and tightening the skin.

 

The Deficiency of the Old “HIFU” Technology

 

Generally, HIFU equipment requires at least 400 counts to penetrate deep into the dermis to achieve collagen proliferation and the lifting effect. However, a higher amount of counts does not mean a better result, because each body is different from others. If the skin cannot bear the high amount of counts, it will cause an adverse effect, especially for women with loosen skin and mature muscles, the high energy output of 400 counts or more will make them feel pain and discomfort during the treatment.

 

Upgraded 10THERA ‘2 Line Irradiating’ HIFU treatment

 

Collagen variant 70% of our skin, the role of collagen is to consolidate our dermal fibers and support our skin. After a woman past the age of 25 years, collagen will be losing naturally, and the skin will lose the support of collagen, causing it to sag and form wrinkles.

 

The full name of HIFU technology is ‘High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound’. The technical principle is to use instrument probes to heat the dermis of our skin and the layer of the fascia (SMAS) to 60-80 degrees to promote collagen fibers and elastic fibers. Regenerate the shape and contours of our face, reduce wrinkles, and tighten our skin.

36-Year of Brand Still Insist on Using New Technology

Even for older women with more mature muscles, the pain is greatly reduced during the entire treatment and making it a true painless Lift and tighten skin! The 10THERA 2-line irradiating equipment contains two probes, the 3.0mm and 4.5mm individually penetrate deeply into the dermis of our skin and the layer of the fascia (SMAS), and is able to lift the facial contour more accurately and meticulously, improving the elasticity of skin, and smooth facial wrinkles.

 

10THERA is equipped with auto-stop technology. When the skin reaches a certain temperature, the setting will automatically suspend, making the entire treatment process safer and avoiding skin damage from high temperature.

 

Pretty Beauty Group on the Prospective of Future Beauty Market

 

The epidemic is raging, and the beauty industry has ushered in a new wave of closure. Pretty Beauty Group believes that the closure does not mean internal shutdown, but rather a period of time to enhance the equipment and have everything well prepared. Pretty Beauty Group has strengthened its internal training during the industry’s closure, and at the same time has researched and introduced the latest beauty technology. The 10THERA 2-line irradiating HIFU treatment is a good example. In order to bring customers the best beauty experience when the beauty salons reopen.
