NEWARK, Calif., March 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Lucid Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: LCID), maker of the world’s most advanced software-defined vehicles and technologies, today announced a comprehensive financial and product strategy designed to scale its business, accelerate its path to profitability and positive free cash flow, and extend its technology leadership into higher volume premium segments of the global automotive market.

At Lucid’s investor day in New York, the company outlined key technical and strategic elements of its upcoming Midsize platform and revealed its next-generation Atlas electric drive unit. Lucid also previewed planned software and technology updates, including an in-vehicle AI assistant and its autonomy roadmap, and reinforced its strategy to monetize software and services as it scales.

Lucid also highlighted continued advancement of its strategic relationship with Uber, as the companies finalize an agreement to deploy Lucid Midsize platform vehicles at a scale similar to the Gravity robotaxi program, with intention to increase over time.

Together, these announcements mark a pivotal evolution for Lucid as the company leverages its technology leadership and radical efficiency approach to strengthen near-term execution and accelerate its path to profitability and free cash flow generation.

“Lucid has already proven its capabilities through technology and product leadership,” said Marc Winterhoff, Interim CEO at Lucid. “Today, we’re keeping the same Lucid product and technology DNA intact, while applying increased scale, capital efficiency, and cost discipline, and materially reduced costs, to enable a great business with a clear and credible path to profitability and free cash flow, supported by what we are executing now and what we are building for the future.”

“We view Lucid as a key strategic partner as we continue to rapidly deploy autonomous vehicles around the world,” said Dara Khosrowshahi, CEO at Uber. “Lucid’s unmatched efficiency, autonomy-ready vehicle architectures, and customer-centric approach give us confidence in our ability to deliver autonomous mobility together at global scale.”

Lucid also introduced Lunar, a purpose built two-seat robotaxi concept based on the Midsize platform, designed to maximize efficiency, utilization, and lifetime operating economics. While still in the concept phase, Lunar highlights the potential of the company’s Midsize platform to support future autonomous and commercial applications.

Outlining a Path to Profitability: Built on Near-Term Execution and Scalable Growth

Lucid emphasized that its strategy is anchored in near-term execution. In 2026, the company is focused on further scaling Lucid Gravity, expanding its global commercial reach, advancing software offerings and services, accelerating material cost and manufacturing efficiency initiatives, while maintaining strict capital allocation discipline to shorten the path to positive free cash flow.

Lucid outlined the key levers underpinning this transition: i) Midsize platform scale to significantly increase addressable market and fixed-cost absorption; ii) radical efficiency in engineering and manufacturing to reduce bill of materials, including the battery, labor, and capital intensity; iii) diversified revenue, including software, services, platform licensing, robotaxi partnerships, and autonomy; and (iv) capital-efficient partnerships, particularly in robotaxis and platform licensing.

“Lucid’s technology leadership is now fully aligned with a business model designed for scale,” said Taoufiq Boussaid, CFO at Lucid. “While the Midsize platform fundamentally improves unit economics in the mid-term, near-term progress is driven by scaling Gravity, disciplined capital deployment, and diversified revenue streams that accelerate our path to sustainable profitability and positive free cash flow.”

Lucid Cosmos and Lucid Earth Expand “Compromise Nothing” into High-Volume Premium Segments

Lucid’s new Midsize platform has been engineered from the ground up to deliver segment-leading vehicles at a more accessible price point, starting below $50,000, while continuing the range, efficiency, performance, and driving pleasure that define the Lucid brand.

Lucid Cosmos is an SUV designed for customers seeking exceptional efficiency, space, and performance. Lucid Earth is an SUV that extends the company’s signature driving dynamics and efficiency into a product to appeal to those with an even more adventurous spirit. Lucid will share additional details on a third Midsize consumer model later.

“With Midsize, we didn’t compromise what makes a Lucid special, we engineered it to scale,” said Derek Jenkins, Senior Vice President of Design and Brand at Lucid. “These vehicles deliver unmistakable Lucid design and driving characteristics, while embracing a radically simpler, more efficient approach to manufacturing and cost.”

Midsize Platform Extends Efficiency Leadership While Lowering Cost

Lucid emphasized that efficiency remains the company’s core differentiator, not only as a customer benefit, but as a structural business advantage. Industry-leading world efficiency enables required range with significantly smaller battery packs, a critical advantage as they represent approximately 30–40% of the cost of an electric vehicle.

“Our efficiency leadership directly translates into cost leadership with our Midsize platform,” said Emad Dlala, Senior Vice President of Engineering and Software at Lucid. “Smaller batteries, fewer parts, and tighter integration mean lower cost, better performance, and a superior customer experience, all at the same time.”

At the heart of the Midsize platform is Atlas, Lucid’s all new electric drive unit. Atlas advances Lucid’s integrated efficiency approach through a smaller, lighter, and simpler design, featuring identical front and rear housings and mounts to improve manufacturing scale and cost efficiency.

Lucid also highlighted its radically simplified design-for-manufacturing philosophy, including, as one example, the elimination of traditional beltline moldings on the doors, reducing part count, assembly time, and cost, while creating a cleaner, sleeker exterior design.

“By designing the entire vehicle as one integrated system, Lucid has raised the bar for electric vehicles,” said Winterhoff. “With Midsize, that same approach delivers best-in-class products and a scalable, profitable business model that positions our vehicles to compete and win against combustion powered alternatives at scale.”

Presented by the City of Chicago and Mayor Brandon Johnson, the Swim celebrates the river’s revival while supporting ALS research and youth swim education

CHICAGO, March 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The Chicago River Swim presented by the City of Chicago and Mayor Brandon Johnson will return for its second annual event on Sunday, September 20, 2026, bringing swimmers back to the heart of downtown Chicago for another landmark civic moment.

The inaugural Swim in 2025 marked a historic milestone as the first organized open water swim in the Chicago River in 98 years, demonstrating that the river can safely support large-scale recreational use while serving as a platform for environmental stewardship, public health, and philanthropy. The event is the result of more than a decade of persistence led by founder Doug McConnell, working in partnership with City leaders, scientists, and environmental organizations to make the return of swimming to the river possible.

The City of Chicago and Mayor Brandon Johnson are serving as Presenting Partner, reflecting the City’s leadership in restoring the river and expanding safe public access to its waterways. Their support enabled an event of this scale to take place in the center of downtown, reinforcing the river’s transformation and establishing the Chicago River Swim as a growing civic tradition.

“The Chicago River Swim reflects my administration’s commitment to restoring and activating the river as a safe and accessible public asset,” said Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson. “This event celebrates decades of environmental progress and demonstrates what is possible when the City partners with community leaders to expand opportunity, promote public health, and bring Chicagoans together around our shared waterways.”

The event is produced by nonprofit A Long Swim and founded by marathon swimmer and ALS advocate Doug McConnell. “Year one proved that this swim could be done safely and responsibly, and that people were ready to embrace the river in a new way,” said McConnell. “The second annual Chicago River Swim is about building on that momentum. It is deeply meaningful to see this become a lasting tradition that supports ALS research and helps ensure more young people have access to swim education and water safety.”

Beneficiaries
Proceeds from the 2026 Chicago River Swim will support ALS research as well as swim safety and swim education programs for youth in underserved communities.

Through A Long Swim, founder Doug McConnell has helped raise more than $3 million for ALS research at the Ozdinler Lab of Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine, a cause that remains deeply personal following the loss of his sister and father to the disease.

The event will also support the Chicago Park District’s efforts to expand access to free swim lessons and water safety education for children across the city. Through the Chicago River Swim initiative, more than 4,000 children have already received water safety instruction, helping ensure they gain essential life saving skills.

The Chicago Park District offers a variety of aquatics programs for all ages, from toddlers to older adults. Last year, more than 27,000 residents registered for Learn to Swim and other aquatics programs that promote safety and water confidence. An additional 17,000 children enjoyed water safety instruction as part of day camp programming. The District also offers Lifeguard Explorers, a stipend-based program that provides participants, ages 14 to 19, with supervised instruction and practice to successfully pass the requirements to become a certified lifeguard.

“Learning to swim is about more than recreation, it’s a matter of safety and equity,” said Chicago Park District General Superintendent and CEO Carlos Ramirez-Rosa. “For generations, the Park District has remained committed to making this life skill accessible by providing quality and affordable instruction at park pools across the city. Partnerships like Chicago River Swim help further our efforts to remove financial and other barriers to ensure more young people gain life-saving skills and confidence in the water.”

This water safety education is being delivered in partnership with the USA Swimming Foundation, which shares the goal of expanding equitable access to swim education. Thanks to a generous contribution from the Swim, USA Swimming Foundation will support Chicago Parks and Learn to Swim providers and efforts in Chicago. This initiative will expand Learn to Swim opportunities throughout the city of Chicago, increase access to lifesaving swim instruction, and ensure more children have the opportunity to become safe and confident in the water.

The Swim and Where to Watch
On event day, qualified swimmers will take on one-mile and two-mile courses along the Chicago River’s main channel in downtown Chicago. The course, stretching from Wolf Point to State Street, will be marked by inflatable buoys and safeguarded by lifeguards, kayaks, and support boats. Spectators will be invited to gather along the Riverwalk and designated viewing areas to cheer on swimmers as they complete the course. More on the swim course can be found here. 

A Revived River
The Chicago River is now at its cleanest levels on record, supporting almost 80 species of fish and a growing diversity of wildlife. This transformation reflects decades of environmental progress, including: stronger federal and local regulations, advanced wastewater treatment by the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District (MWRD), the Tunnel and Reservoir Plan to reduce overflows, four+ decades of environmental advocacy and restoration projects led by Friends of the Chicago River and documented by Current’s H2NOW Chicago real-time monitoring program, and research and restoration led by the Shedd Aquarium. Together, these partners have helped reclaim the river as a living ecosystem and made it possible for swimmers to safely return for the first time in nearly a century. The City of Chicago’s long term environmental leadership, infrastructure investment, and stewardship have played a central role in making the return of open water swimming possible.

“The return of open water swimming in the Chicago River positions Chicago as a world leader in embracing its river as a resilient natural wonder, reflecting decades of investment, innovation, and collective commitment,” said Margaret Frisbie, executive director of Friends of the Chicago River. “The fact that people can once again safely enter and enjoy the river demonstrates how far we’ve come in restoring water quality, strengthening habitat, and recognizing the river as a living ecosystem, teeming with life, at the heart of our city.”

More on the history of the river can be found here. 

Water Quality and Safety
Water quality will be rigorously monitored through a layered testing approach using data from MWRD and real time analysis conducted by the University of Illinois Chicago. UIC will perform frequent DNA-based testing for microbial pollutants, applying the same recreational water quality criteria used at Chicago’s beaches to ensure compliance with the USEPA standards. The Chicago River Swim will take place only if all testing confirms that river conditions meet strict safety requirements for swimming.

On event day, swimmer safety will be the top priority. More than 100 trained personnel will monitor the course from kayaks, paddleboards, and boats, with additional support from autonomous buoys, GPS tracking, and in-water timing systems. Each swimmer will also be equipped with an RFID chip, brightly colored swim caps, and a personal swim buoy for added visibility and protection. More here. 

Registration
Applications for the 2026 Chicago River Swim will open on March 31 and will close on April 27. All applicants will undergo an eligibility review to ensure they meet established safety and experience requirements. Five hundred qualified swimmers will be selected, with participants announced the week of May 4. Additional event details, including the full weekend schedule, safety protocols, and registration information, will be announced in the coming months. More information is available here.

In the news release, Phemex TradFi Hits $10B Monthly Volume, Advancing Cross-Market Trading Infrastructure, issued 12-Mar-2026 by Phemex over PR Newswire, we are advised by the company that one photo needs to be accompanied with the release. The complete, corrected release follows:

Phemex TradFi Hits $10B Monthly Volume, Advancing Cross-Market Trading Infrastructure

APIA, Samoa, March 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Phemex, a user-first crypto exchange, announced that its TradFi (Traditional Finance) trading platform has exceeded $10 billion in trading volume for the first month, driven by unprecedented demand for tokenized gold and commodity contracts amid escalating geopolitical tensions.

Gold-related instruments — including XAU (Gold) and PAXG perpetual contracts — accounted for a significant share of the volume surge, as traders sought safe-haven exposure through Phemex’s 24/7 trading infrastructure. The TradFi platform, which offers tokenized access to stocks, commodities, and indices alongside crypto assets, has seen a 340% increase in active users quarter-over-quarter. Its core advantages — round-the-clock market access, configurable leverage, zero market-hours restrictions, and a unified account spanning crypto and traditional assets — have positioned it as a preferred venue for traders navigating cross-asset volatility.

“Reaching $1 billion in daily TradFi volume validates our thesis that traders want a single, always-on platform for both digital and traditional assets,” said Federico Variola, CEO of Phemex. “While legacy brokerages close at 4 PM, our users are executing gold and equity trades at midnight, on weekends, and during breaking geopolitical events — exactly when markets move the most. This is the future of trading infrastructure.”

Moving forward, Phemex will progressively expand its asset lineup and launch innovative features to seamlessly serve the converging demands of traditional market participants and crypto traders. By dismantling the barriers between TradFi and digital assets, Phemex is positioning itself as the premier unified hub for the future of global wealth generation.
