According to the study, 77% of parents think that hotels need to provide more healthy options on kids’ menus. Meanwhile, 79% said that an attractive, varied and healthy menu for children would enhance their experience and give them peace of mind that even on holiday, they are making the right food choices. Parents also said that their children were most likely to eat junk food while on holiday, with the top three most eaten foods globally for young travellers being pizza – 44%, chicken nuggets – 35% and chips – 32%.

Commenting on the new FoodieKiDS menu, Jumeirah Group’s Chief Culinary Officer Michael Ellis said: «Our talented chefs came up with an imaginative menu with a healthy twist that we know children will want to eat, because some little foodies helped us create it. We found that when prepared and presented in an appealing way, our dishes with more fruits and vegetables, wholemeal options and less salt were a huge hit. At Jumeirah, we like to do things differently when it comes to dining and always strive to meet the ever-evolving needs of our guests so they can make the most of their time with us. FoodieKiDS will not only give parents extra peace of mind, but also make their stay even more memorable.»

TEL AVIV, Israel, Oct. 7, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — 

REE’s innovative architecture is becoming the cornerstone of the broadest range of electric and autonomous vehicles

  • Three platforms point to future EVs, including last and mid-mile delivery, commercial & MaaS vehicles
  • All platforms are based on the advanced REEcorner module which utilizes full X-by-Wire technology for steering, braking and drive all in the arch of the wheel, enabling a fully-flat chassis
  • The wide array of REE’s modular platforms offer unprecedented design freedom to create any EV; from last and mid-mile delivery vans to commercial vehicles and autonomous shuttles
  • Watch the video

REE Automotive (REE), the electric vehicle platform leader reshaping e-Mobility, today releases an all-new video showing not one, but three prototypes of its next-generation EV platforms.

Presenting a vision for a range of future electric delivery vehicles, each fully operational prototype features REE’s revolutionary, modular and flexible platform architecture, which answers the exponential demand for entirely new types of EVs – particularly commercial vehicles – driven by the surge in e-commerce, a trend further accelerated by Covid-19.

REE’s EV platform consists of the REEcorner which powers full X-by-Wire technology for steering, braking and drive, and integrates all drivetrain, powertrain, suspension and steering components into the arch of the wheel. In addition, the breakthrough REEboard – which enables the EV platform to be completely flat – offers customers the freedom to  place any shape or size of body design on top.

Daniel Barel, REE Co-Founder and CEO: «EVs, particularly e-delivery vehicles, are in huge demand, with growth drivers including global carbon-emission regulatory policies coupled with a boom e-commerce. There is also a rapid rise in ‘mobility as a service’ (MaaS). Our modular platform is set to revolutionize electric mobility and as we shared today, the journey is well underway. Our platform provides the perfect blank canvas for our customers on which to build EVs tailored to their needs, whether it’s a fully autonomous last-mile delivery vehicle, a spacious yet compact urban shuttle or a flexible delivery truck with higher load capability on a smaller footprint.»   

Real-world proof of concept

In the video REE showcases three of its modular next-generation EV platforms on the track, demonstrating its mastery of X-by-Wire technology in P1, P2 and P4 platforms. The P1 platform of up to 1.3-ton GVW is geared for LSV last-mile inner-city delivery applications. The P2 platform scales up to 2.5-tons GVW and is designed to transport passengers and cargo. TheP4 platform offers up to 4.5-tons GVW and is uniquely built for the North American market delivery segment.

OEM and Tier 1 strategic partnerships
REE’s groundbreaking approach provides customers with solutions to meet the huge demand in e-mobility and e-commerce. The industry-leading advantages of REE’s next-generation electric platform, combined with REE’s unprecedented business model, has already led to the company being chosen by world-leading OEMs and mobility service providers.

In August 2020, REE signed a memorandum of understanding with global OEM Mahindra to establish a strategic collaboration for the development and production of an initial capacity of up to 250,000 electric vehicles aimed at the commercial market. This follows on from partnerships REE had already successfully established with multinationals of the highest caliber, such as AAM, KYB, Musashi, NSK and Mitsubishi Corporation.

REE’s technology has also earned numerous prestigious industry accolades. In 2020 alone, REE received a BloombergNEF Pioneer Award, an ACES Electrification & Mobility Services Award and a European Product Design Honor Mention Award. The company was also named as TU-Automotive Tech Company of the Year and a Fast Company World’s Most Innovative Company.

Autonomous-ready and X-by-Wire control
REE’s modular platform technology enables customers to choose the size that perfectly suits their vehicle requirements while the company’s industry-unique technology offers a choice of REEcorner modules, each with different sizing based on platform weight, dimensions and targeted applications.

Of the three platforms showcased, two feature different REEcorners. 

This world-first adaptive approach elevates REE above the rest of the industry and gives customers a crucial advantage, enabling them to design mission-specific EVs unrestricted by a limited choice of platforms or a single electric powertrain. All REE platforms are autonomous ready and are fully compatible with any ADAS interface. Multiple redundancy systems, coupled with X-by Wire control of steering, braking and drive ensure the highest possible efficiency and safety standards.

Thus, companies including OEMs, delivery, logistic and retail as well as new technology players can fully leverage the advantages of REE’s versatile platform to design EVs tailored to their exact needs and specifications.

Daniel Barel, REE Co-Founder and CEO, concluded: «REE’s ambition is to be the industry leader in next-gen EV platforms. Already we have strategically partnered with key global OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers, including Mahindra and KYB, to develop the EVs of tomorrow. Our adaptable, modular platforms provide the perfect solution for future mobility solutions, offering versatility and freedom of design – for commercial EVs, autonomous last-mile delivery pods and beyond. And with the unprecedented boom in e-commerce accelerated by COVID 19, the need for EV fleets is increasing exponentially. Our vision, to make REE platforms the cornerstone of zero-emission EVs and AVs, is becoming a reality.»

About REE Automotive
REE Automotive is a pioneering technology company reinventing e-mobility. Unrestricted by legacy thinking, REE has developed the next generation EV platform which is completely flat, scalable and modular providing customers full design freedom to create the broadest range of EV, and Autonomous vehicles for current and future applications, including last mile
delivery, MaaS, light to medium duty EV logistics and robo taxis. REE has developed two core innovations; the REEcorner integrates all traditional vehicle components (steering, braking, suspension, e-motor) into the arch of the wheel and the REEboard which is a completely flat and modular platform. REE’s approach is cost efficient and offers multiple customer benefits, including vehicle design freedom, package efficiency, increased energy efficiency, faster development time, ADAS compatibility, reduced maintenance and global safety standard compliance. REE is supported by a network of Tier 1 partners providing access to 320 global production lines making REE the next generation EV platform, ready to carry the future of E-Mobility.

In addition, the breakthrough REEboard – which enables the EV platform to be completely flat – offers customers the freedom to  place any shape or size of body design on top.

Daniel Barel, REE Co-Founder and CEO: «EVs, particularly e-delivery vehicles, are in huge demand, with growth drivers including global carbon-emission regulatory policies coupled with a boom e-commerce. There is also a rapid rise in ‘mobility as a service’ (MaaS). Our modular platform is set to revolutionize electric mobility and as we shared today, the journey is well underway. Our platform provides the perfect blank canvas for our customers on which to build EVs tailored to their needs, whether it’s a fully autonomous last-mile delivery vehicle, a spacious yet compact urban shuttle or a flexible delivery truck with higher load capability on a smaller footprint.»   

Real-world proof of concept

In the video REE showcases three of its modular next-generation EV platforms on the track, demonstrating its mastery of X-by-Wire technology in P1, P2 and P4 platforms. The P1 platform of up to 1.3-ton GVW is geared for LSV last-mile inner-city delivery applications. The P2 platform scales up to 2.5-tons GVW and is designed to transport passengers and cargo. TheP4 platform offers up to 4.5-tons GVW and is uniquely built for the North American market delivery segment.

OEM and Tier 1 strategic partnerships
REE’s groundbreaking approach provides customers with solutions to meet the huge demand in e-mobility and e-commerce. The industry-leading advantages of REE’s next-generation electric platform, combined with REE’s unprecedented business model, has already led to the company being chosen by world-leading OEMs and mobility service providers.

In August 2020, REE signed a memorandum of understanding with global OEM Mahindra to establish a strategic collaboration for the development and production of an initial capacity of up to 250,000 electric vehicles aimed at the commercial market. This follows on from partnerships REE had already successfully established with multinationals of the highest caliber, such as AAM, KYB, Musashi, NSK and Mitsubishi Corporation.

REE’s technology has also earned numerous prestigious industry accolades. In 2020 alone, REE received a BloombergNEF Pioneer Award, an ACES Electrification & Mobility Services Award and a European Product Design Honor Mention Award. The company was also named as TU-Automotive Tech Company of the Year and a Fast Company World’s Most Innovative Company.

CGTN: Trabajo en los trenes, una herencia familiar en tres generaciones

PEKÍN, 6 de octubre de 2020 /PRNewswire/ — La Cadena de Televisión Global de China (CGTN en inglés) publicó recientemente un artículo sobre la familia de trabajadores ferroviarios, que por tres generaciones ha escogido la misma ocupación: mantenimiento de trenes. Han sido testigos del desarrollo de la tecnología del ferrocarril y el artículo muestra sus sueños en el ferrocarril Qinghai-Tíbet.

PEKÍN, 6 de octubre de 2020 /PRNewswire/ — La Cadena de Televisión Global de China (CGTN en inglés) publicó recientemente un artículo sobre la familia de trabajadores ferroviarios, que por tres generaciones ha escogido la misma ocupación: mantenimiento de trenes. Han sido testigos del desarrollo de la tecnología del ferrocarril y el artículo muestra sus sueños en el ferrocarril Qinghai-Tíbet.

Lea el artículo original aquí.

«Estoy continuando el sueño de mi padre y mi abuelo», dijo Li Haifeng, un inspector de trenes del terminal Xining, lugar donde los trenes del ferrocarril Qinghai-Tíbet hacen sonar sus primeros pitidos.

Li, de 31 años, ha estado investigando y resolviendo problemas de fallas inadvertidas en las instalaciones de cada coche para asegurar la seguridad de cada viaje en tren. Esta ha sido su ocupación durante siete años hasta ahora, período el cual, sin embargo, es solo una fracción de lo que trabajaron su padre y su abuelo.

De padres gatos, hijos gatitos

La historia comienza en 1958 cuando el abuelo de Li Wangfu, nativo de Shandong, China oriental, fue transferido desde la oficina de ferrocarril de Dandong hacia Xining. «Llegué aquí el 15 de agosto de 1958», contó Li Wangfu a CGTN. Ya en sus ochentas, todavía se acuerda claramente de ese día. Después de un largo viaje movido, lo que apareció frente a sus ojos era una tierra árida donde el sol quemaba a fuego.

Cuando el terminal de ferrocarril de Xining estuvo listo octubre de 1959, Li Wangfu se convirtió en uno de los poco inspectores de trenes de la escasamente poblada plataforma. En aquella época, cazaba problemas y hacía revisiones con un montón de herramientas mal hechas durante el día y vivía en una bodega, que él y sus colegas mismos cavaron en la noche.

«En ese tiempo, íbamos a donde nos necesitaran», dijo. Todos los días salía del trabajo con sus ropas empapadas en aceite negro de motor. El trabajo duro valía la pena. Se convirtió en el primer jefe de inspección de trenes en la meseta de Qinghai-Tíbet en 1984, año en que comenzó la operación que unió la vía férrea entre Xining y Golmud, la primera y la segunda ciudad más grande de la provincia de Qinghai, respectivamente.

De tal palo, tal astilla. La incursión de Li Xiujin en el mantenimiento de trenes estuvo extremadamente influenciada por su padre Li Wangfu. «Una vez, mi padre me llevó en su tren, y yo sentí que era un muy buen trabajo», recordó. En 1983, fue asignado al terminal de Golmud. «En ese entonces, tomaba más de dos días viajar desde Xining hacia Golmud, donde la arena y los guijarros volaban por todas partes».

Li Xiujin y sus colegas vivían en un pequeña cabaña hecha de arcilla por donde se colaba el viento y llevaban martillos de reparación con ellos para trabajar todo el día. Durante los últimos 37 años, fue testigo del floreciente desarrollo de las tecnologías del ferrocarril, que han facilitado mucho la inspección de trenes.

El sistema de ferrocarril de Qinghai introdujo una variedad de máquinas de detección automática en 2012, destinadas a impulsar el desarrollo tecnológico en el país. Li Xiujin aprendió tecnología de punta y se convirtió en analista centralizado en TFDS (Sistema de detección de fallas de trenes de carga). «Ahora puedo revisar cerca de 300 trenes todos los días en una computadora».

El trabajo de reparación y mantenimiento solía depender más de la experiencia, pero ahora también se requieren «habilidades integrales» basadas en el conocimiento técnico para garantizar la seguridad de los pasajeros, según Li Haifeng, tercera generación de los Li.

Desde las locomotoras a vapor hasta los trenes eléctricos

En los años cincuenta y sesenta, lo que el tren ofrecía era un viaje de días con un repiqueteo constante , que corresponde a la era cuando la locomotora a vapor reinaba en las vías. Las locomotoras a vapor ayudaron a empujar al mundo hacia la primera revolución industrial y desde entonces han forjado el futuro de la civilización humana para los próximos 150 años.

En China, la producción y el uso de locomotoras a vapor continuaron hasta fines de los ochenta, a pesar de que la mayoría de ellas fueron reemplazadas mucho antes. En los años sesenta, los trenes a vapor guiaron el desarrollo de las redes de ferrocarril del país, impulsando su progreso socioeconómico.

Li Wangfu fue testigo de cómo las antigüedades fueron gradualmente seleccionadas para salir, del debut de los trenes de combustión interna y luego los trenes eléctricos. «Ahora, están todos electrificados».

Durante la última década, la tecnología ferroviaria de China está lejos de estar obsoleta. Su hijo y su nieto vieron más desarrollos inconmensurables. «Antiguamente, en la sección Xining-Golmud, el tren corría a unos 50 kilómetros por hora, pero ahora, puede alcanzar los 160 kilómetros», señaló Li Haifeng.

Actualmente, China tiene la red ferrocarril de alta velocidad más grande del mundo, junto con métodos de inspección avanzados para las instalaciones y el equipamiento de los trenes.

«Hemos cambiado del trabajo pesado manual a un trabajo mental, como un médico en un hospital», dijo Li Xiujin, «solo nos sentamos en el interior y miramos fotografías tomadas por cámaras de alta velocidad e informamos los problemas a los inspectores en el lugar con la ayuda de TFDS».

Para Li Haifeng, el trabajo es mucho menos difícil, pero requiere de más experiencia. El tren en que trabaja tiene incorporado filtro UV en sus ventanas, generadores de oxígeno y dispositivos automáticos de procesamiento fecal, entre una variedad de instalaciones nuevas.

«Trabajar en el tren es arduo, ya que se necesita tomar en cuenta la seguridad de todos los pasajeros. Es como ser un «doctor» que sabe todo sobre el tren y da la receta correcta», indicó Li Haifeng.
