Beijing Auto Show Opens: 1,500 Global Partners Join GWM in a Commitment to the Future, Strengthening Its Global Footprint


BEIJING, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 29 April 2026 – Auto China 2026 officially opened in Beijing. Under the theme of “Commitment & Integrity,” GWM unveiled its comprehensive global localization strategy for the first time. Backed by a compelling product lineup and cutting-edge technology, the GWM booth quickly became one of the most talked-about highlights of the show.

In his speech, GWM CEO Mu Feng emphasized that commitment and integrity are essential to accelerating high-quality growth. Guided by the GWM ONE (Guiyuan) philosophy, GWM continues to focus on real user needs, building solid product strength, technological excellence, and global brand value.

“Trust built on commitment and integrity is the strongest foundation in business,” Mu said. From a global perspective, he reaffirmed GWM’s commitment to deepening its roots in international markets, constructing a complete business ecosystem, and advancing what he called “ecosystem-based globalization.” Based on respect, long-term dedication, and genuine local cultivation, the company aims to forge lasting bonds of trust with users worldwide.

A Robust Portfolio Defining Elevated Product Excellence

At Auto China 2026, GWM showcased a comprehensive portfolio spanning six major lineups. From family SUVs to premium off-road vehicles, from urban commuting to long-distance motorcycle touring, the offerings are thoughtfully engineered to meet the diverse demands of today’s mainstream global consumers.

The WEY V9X is the first flagship model built on the GWM ONE S Platform. With its spacious six-seat layout, native AI agent, and Super Hi4 hybrid architecture, the V9X was developed not just for China, but as a global model for users worldwide.

The all-new TANK 700 made a strong impression with dual-flagship powertrain options: 3.0 Hi4-T and 2.0 Hi4-Z, making it the first body-on-frame model to integrate a VLA large model. The GWM P300 Hi4-T adopts the Hi4-T hardcore off-road super hybrid architecture, equipped with the Coffee OS 3 smart cockpit and high-power external discharge, delivering intelligence, reliability, and all-scenario adaptability. The P500 Hi4-T offers higher performance and greater luxury, ushering pickups into a new 4.0 era of “all-scenario, intelligent, and new energy.”

For key markets such as Australia and Thailand, where off-road culture is deeply rooted, these two models powerfully demonstrate GWM’s localized product expertise.

Designed for young users seeking individuality and a lifestyle-oriented mobility experience, the GWM ORA 5 Sport has already generated strong interest in Europe and Southeast Asia. During the auto show, overseas media also took part in in-depth test drives, allowing the product itself to prove GWM’s technological claims.

The entire SOUO Motorcycles lineup stole the spotlight with the world’s only 2,000 cc horizontally opposed eight-cylinder engine, redefining the premium long-distance motorcycle touring experience. Within GWM’s brand matrix, SOUO is the clearest expression of the brand’s “confidence in driving culture.”

Multidimensional Breakthroughs Highlight GWM’s Competitive Edge

Behind every compelling vehicle lies deep technological strength. The GWM technology zone drew large crowds eager to explore the company’s latest R&D advancements firsthand.

High-Performance V8: At the auto show, GWM introduced a new high-performance powertrain architecture headlined by an all-new in-house high-performance V8 engine — a major step forward in GWM’s powertrain capabilities. The company also showcased a world-class lightweight solution featuring extensive carbon fiber, as well as a newly adopted mid-engine layout designed to deliver exceptional handling performance.

GWM ONE Platform: In intelligent technology, GWM has built a formidable competitive moat across data, algorithms, and computing power. Its VLA assisted-driving large model and other intelligent technologies have received wide acclaim. The GWM ONE Platform supports five powertrain variants: PHEV, HEV, BEV, FCEV, and ICE. It enables one platform to support multiple powertrains, product categories, body styles, and global markets. Built on native AI, the platform integrates dual VLA large models and creates a native full-stack intelligent agent. It also uses AI to redefine safety logic, deeply fusing active and passive safety systems and reinforcing GWM’s commitment to safety.

GWM Hi4 has evolved into a comprehensive powertrain family tailored to different driving scenarios and user needs. The new-generation Hi4 technology continues to deliver “the performance of four-wheel drive with the energy consumption of two-wheel drive,” making advanced all-wheel-drive capability more accessible than ever. Hi4-Z is designed for general off-road scenarios, while Hi4-T is for hardcore off-road demands, each bringing distinctive strengths and further consolidating GWM’s leadership in off-road mobility.

GWM also presented its forward-looking diesel hybrid technology for demanding off-road and towing scenarios. The new powertrain is expected to cut urban fuel consumption by 15% while boosting acceleration performance by 40%.

Ecosystem-Based Globalization Builds Stronger Global Brand

At Auto China 2026, the GWM booth attracted large numbers of overseas visitors, media journalists, dealers, and investors, becoming a key platform connecting GWM with global users. The invitation of 1,500 media and dealers reflects GWM’s growing global appeal. According to some overseas media reports, Chinese automakers are reshaping industry norms through shorter R&D cycles, innovative concepts, and well-coordinated supply chains.

Amid rising complexities and tariff barriers, GWM is shifting its global strategy from simple product exports toward comprehensive local ecosystem development — an approach increasingly recognized across the industry. The future of global competition will no longer be about exporting products, but about the coordinated global expansion of technology standard-setting, supply chains, and brand value as an entire ecosystem.

At Auto China 2026, GWM showcased core technologies including the super V8, Hi4 Hybrid, and ADAS — technologies that will help the company participate in setting global industry standards and building a lasting brand moat.

Reliable products remain GWM’s promise to users. Accessible technology is its contribution to the industry. Ecosystem-based globalization is its commitment to local communities. GWM is taking root and growing in every aspect of its global operations — from technical architecture and product definition to manufacturing, after-sales service, compliance, and cultural integration. While the industry remains focused on overseas sales growth, GWM has already elevated “deep localization” as a new benchmark for global success, building a shared future with users through genuine, long-term commitment.

SEMI Reports Worldwide Silicon Wafer Shipments Increase 13% Year-on-Year in Q1 2026

AI-driven Demand and Signs of Broad-based Recovery Boost Global Silicon Wafer Shipments, Despite Mixed Market Conditions

MILPITAS, Calif., April 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The SEMI Silicon Manufacturers Group (SMG) reported today, in its quarterly analysis of the silicon wafer industry, that worldwide silicon wafer shipments increased 13.1% year-on-year to 3,275 million square inches (MSI) from the 2,896 MSI recorded during the same quarter of 2025. Sequentially, shipments declined 4.7% quarter-over-quarter from the 3,437 MSI recorded during the fourth quarter of 2025 in line with typical seasonality.

Worldwide Silicon Wafer Shipments (MSI)

“Silicon wafer demand related to AI data centers continues to be strong, including advanced logic and memory, and also now extending to power management devices,” said Ginji Yada, Chairman of SEMI SMG and Managing Executive Officer, General Manager, Sales and Marketing Division at SUMCO Corporation. “Overall, silicon wafer demand has improved, but the recovery is not uniform. Many device companies have noted improvements in the industrial semiconductor segment, and this is creating a more broad-based recovery as wafer inventory is absorbed. Weaker smartphone and PC shipments in the first quarter of this year may show the impact of tighter supply of memory due to AI high bandwidth memory (HBM) allocation decisions.”

Silicon wafers are the fundamental building material for the majority of semiconductors, which are vital components of all electronic devices. The highly engineered thin disks are produced in diameters of up to 300 mm and serve as the substrate material on which most semiconductors are fabricated.

The SMG is a sub-committee of the SEMI Electronic Materials Group (EMG) and is open to SEMI members involved in manufacturing polycrystalline silicon, monocrystalline silicon or silicon wafers (e.g., as cut, polished, epitaxial). The SMG facilitates collective efforts on issues related to the silicon industry, including the development of statistics about the silicon industry.

With Thrilling Finals, Teqball Shines at the Asian Beach Games

BUDAPEST, Hungary , April 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Teqball’s campaign at the Asian Beach Games came to a spectacular conclusion in Sanya, delivering several days of high-quality competition, exciting rallies, and an outstanding atmosphere in a truly unique beachside setting. Featuring 14 nations from across Asia, the tournament showcased the sport’s growing strength in the region, with athletes competing in three medal events – Women’s Doubles, Mixed Doubles, and Men’s Doubles – each producing finals worthy of the occasion.

At the end of an unforgettable competition, Thailand emerged as the standout nation, claiming gold in all three categories and underlining its status as one of Asia’s leading forces in Teqball.

Women’s Doubles

Jutatip Kuntatong / Areeya Homdee (THA) defeated Sol Gyong Cha / Hyo Gyong Kim (PRK) 2–0

The Women’s Doubles final opened the medal matches with a composed and dominant display from the Thai pair. Jutatip Kuntatong and Areeya Homdee controlled the rhythm of the match from the opening points, with their chemistry, experience, and consistency proving decisive throughout.

The North Korean duo responded strongly in the second set and managed to make the contest far more competitive, but Thailand remained in control in the crucial moments to secure a straight-sets victory and the first gold medal of the finals.

Mixed Doubles

Suphawadi Wongkhamchan / Phakpong Dejaroen (THA) defeated Il Sin Kim / Song Han (PRK) 2–0

The Mixed Doubles final delivered another compelling Thailand–North Korea showdown. Suphawadi Wongkhamchan and Phakpong Dejaroen started confidently, taking command of the opening set with sharp attacking play and excellent coordination.

North Korea once again showed great determination in the second set, closing the gap and pushing the Thai pair into longer, more intense rallies, but Thailand’s quality proved decisive as they closed out the match in two sets to secure their second gold medal of the tournament.

Men’s Doubles

Sorrasak Thaosiri / Jirati Chanliang (THA) defeated Abdulrahman Ahmed Radhi / Ali Jalil Mezher Alelayawi (IRQ) 2–1

The Men’s Doubles final provided a fitting finale to the competition and carried extra significance, as it renewed the rivalry between Thailand and Iraq following their memorable clash at the recent Asian Youth Games, where Iraq had emerged victorious.

This time, Thailand turned the table. After taking the opening set, the Thai pair were pushed hard by a spirited Iraqi comeback in the second, with Iraq producing some exceptional Teqball to level the match. In the deciding set, however, Thailand’s composure, energy, and experience prevailed as Sorrasak Thaosiri and Jirati Chanliang powered to victory, completing a remarkable clean sweep of gold medals for the nation.

Husain Al Mussalam, OCA Director General

“Teqball has added great value to our Asian Beach Games Sanya sports programme. It fits naturally within Asian sports culture and continues to grow strongly across the continent. With seven countries winning medals, today’s finals showed exciting competition and confirmed Asia’s strength in Teqball. We look forward to continuing this journey at future Asian Games events.”

A Remarkable Debut for North Korea

One of the standout stories of the tournament came from North Korea, who made their first-ever appearance at an international Teqball competition. Their immediate impact was extraordinary, reaching two finals and returning home with two silver medals in Women’s Doubles and Mixed Doubles.

Such a debut is a strong reflection of Teqball’s growing reach across Asia and highlights the impressive development of the sport in North Korea, where emerging talent has already shown the ability to compete at continental level from the very beginning.

The conclusion of Teqball at the Asian Beach Games marks another important milestone in the sport’s development across Asia. The quality of competition, the remarkable atmosphere, and the growing number of nations competing at a high level all reflected the impressive progress Teqball continues to make in the region.

Dr Huszar Viktor, FITEQ Chairman

“On behalf of the International Teqball Federation and, in particular, the Asian Teqball Family, I would like to express our gratitude to OCA for having included our sport, Teqball, in the sports programme for the 6th Asian Beach Games here in Sanya. I also wish to extend our thanks to the local organising committee for the excellent cooperation as we jointly delivered the three previous days of true excitement with thrilling finals today in our spectacular beach-front venue. And many thanks go to the volunteers and staff for their tireless work and heartfelt commitment contributing to this shining success. I congratulate to the finalists and every athlete for their excellent sporting achievements and look forward to delivering Teqball throughout the continent to fans, spectators, communities and schools with the best elite and youth athletes Asia offers. Thank you OCA, thank you Sanya, thank you China.”

With momentum building strongly, attention now turns to the next major continental showcase — the Asian Games, set to take place in Aichi-Nagoya, Japan, from 19 September to 4 October 2026 — where Asia’s finest athletes will once again have the opportunity to showcase the very best of Teqball on one of sport’s biggest stages.

 

 

Neutrinos Named a Leader in Everest Group’s 2026 Insurance-specific IDP PEAK Matrix® Assessment

Recognition reflects the industry shift from document digitization to decision-ready data in insurance operations

NEW YORK and SINGAPORE, April 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Neutrinos, a leader in AI-powered intelligent automation for insurers, has been named a Leader in Everest Group’s 2026 Insurance-specific Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) Products PEAK Matrix® Assessment.

Neutrinos was evaluated as part of Everest Group’s assessment of IDP providers based on market impact, vision, and capability within its PEAK Matrix® framework.

Across insurance operations, document handling has become one of the most persistent drivers of inefficiency. While digitization solved access, competitive advantage now comes from converting incoming documents into structured, decision-ready intelligence at the point of entry.

In the 2026 Intelligent Document Processing reports, Everest Group examines how providers support document understanding, data extraction, and workflow orchestration to support document-intensive workflows, improve operational efficiency, reduce manual intervention, and address compliance requirements. 

“Neutrinos has been positioned as a Leader in the Insurance-specific Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) Products PEAK Matrix® Assessment 2026,” said Vaibhav Bansal, Vice President, Everest Group. “Its strong insurance focus, coupled with investments in a dedicated IDP Center of Excellence (CoE) offering 24×7 support, has strengthened its market position. The platform demonstrates deep domain alignment through capabilities such as validation of extracted applicant data against underwriting guidelines, auto-generation of underwriting summaries, and automatic detection and classification of insurance service requests. Additionally, its portfolio of pre-built, insurance-specific solutions, spanning KYC, claims processing, underwriting, and claims validation, helps accelerate time-to-value for insurers.” 

“Digitization was only the starting point. The next phase of insurance will be defined by how quickly insurers can convert documents into real-time, decision-grade intelligence,” said Samik Ghosh, Co-founder and CEO at Neutrinos. “That is the transformation Neutrinos is built for, moving from manual data handling to intelligent, autonomous decisioning across underwriting and claims. This recognition reinforces the direction the industry is already moving toward.”

The challenge is not access to documents, but what happens after they arrive. Unstructured inputs, fragmented validation, and manual interpretation create delays, inconsistencies, and unnecessary touchpoints. Neutrinos addresses this by reading, reasoning, and validating incoming information against underwriting and claims logic, converting documents into decision-ready data, and triggering downstream actions in real time. What once required manual effort across multiple steps becomes an orchestrated end-to-end flow, enabling teams to focus on risk selection, claims resolution, and customer service.

About Neutrinos:

Neutrinos is a Leader in intelligent automation, empowering insurance enterprises to harness the full potential of AI agents to autonomously execute and optimize complex business processes. Purpose-built for insurers, the Neutrinos platform is uniquely designed to manage and orchestrate all agents, not just those built on Neutrinos. Its AI-native, full-stack architecture unifies complex systems, enables cross-platform orchestration, and powers agentic and autonomous workflows.
