ATLANTA, Jan. 12, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Jim Ellis Automotive Group donated $65,000 to The Empty Stocking Fund (ESF) raised through their annual Holiday Giving Campaign. The fundraiser has been a long-standing holiday tradition in which a portion of all new or pre-owned vehicle sales are donated to a deserving organization. The group’s Holiday Giving Campaign took place from November 27 to December 31, 2020 with all 19 Jim Ellis family-owned and operated dealerships participating in the cause-based event.

«It gives my team and I great honor to lend a helping hand to children and families in the communities we serve,» said Jimmy Ellis, president of Jim Ellis Automotive Group. «It has been a difficult year for several families and our hope is that this contribution can help bring joy to those who need it most.»

Each year, ESF serves tens of thousands of metro Atlanta children in need where nearly 200,000 gift items are distributed. Children from birth through 12 years of age living in the metro Atlanta area and surrounding counties are eligible to receive gifts from the Empty Stocking Fund. The nonprofit organization provides toys and gifts to disadvantaged children during the holiday season and school supplies throughout the year to support positive social and emotional development and academic success.

«This is an extraordinary honor and we are so grateful for this gift. This donation will help us serve more than 3,000 children this holiday season and it comes at a time when need is greater than ever,» said Manda Hunt, executive director of The Empty Stocking Fund. «This is also the single largest donation our organization has ever received in our nearly 100 years of history. This donation will go a very long way during a very difficult time.»

The donation was made just prior to the end of the event so as not to keep ESF from missing out on having these donation funds to spend on children for Christmas 2020. This donation will provide 3,000-4,000 children with gift packages this holiday season and marks the largest donation that ESF has received since their inception in 1927.

  • GM’s new business will offer an integrated ecosystem of electric products, software and services for the first to last mile
  • BrightDrop’s electric pallet, the EP1, will be available in early 2021, and its electric light commercial vehicle, the EV600, will be on roads in late 2021
  • BrightDrop introduces GM’s Ultium platform to the commercial vehicle segment, and features Level 2 and DC fast charging capabilities
  • FedEx Express will be the first customer of the new, integrated solution

General Motors announced today a new business, BrightDrop, which will offer an ecosystem of electric first-to-last-mile products, software and services to empower delivery and logistics companies to move goods more efficiently. These BrightDrop solutions are designed to help businesses lower costs, maximize productivity, improve employee safety and freight security, and support overall sustainability efforts.

«BrightDrop offers a smarter way to deliver goods and services,» said Mary Barra GM Chairman and CEO. «We are building on our significant expertise in electrification, mobility applications, telematics and fleet management, with a new one-stop-shop solution for commercial customers to move goods in a better, more sustainable way.»

BrightDrop was born out of GM’s Global Innovation organization and joins the lineup of other recently launched Global Innovation startups, such as OnStar Insurance, OnStar Guardian and GM Defense. From a growth strategy standpoint, this new business will unlock areas of B2B, expansion of the Ultium platform and software and service opportunities.

GM estimates that by 2025, the combined market opportunity for parcel, food delivery and reverse logistics in the U.S. will be over $850 billion. According to the World Economic Forum, demand for urban last-mile delivery, fueled by e-commerce, is expected to grow by 78 percent by 2030, leading to a 36 percent increase in delivery vehicles in the world’s top 100 cities. At the same time, this increase in demand is expected to cause delivery-related carbon emissions to rise by nearly one-third.

To help meet this surge in demand, while reducing the impact on the planet, BrightDrop is developing an integrated set of solutions to help improve almost every aspect of first-to-last-mile delivery. The BrightDrop ecosystem includes:

First-to-last-mile products

BrightDrop EP1 – BrightDrop’s first product to market, the EP1, will be a propulsion-assisted, electric pallet developed to easily move goods over short distances – for example, from the delivery vehicle to the customer’s front door. Available in early 2021, the EP1 can help reduce package touch points, costs and physical strain on delivery drivers. EP1 features and benefits include:

    • Built-in electric hub motors with adjustable speed up to 3 mph depending on operator’s walking pace.
    • Maneuverable in tight spaces. 
    • Carries and secures approximately 23 total cubic feet of cargo.
    • Payload capacity of 200 pounds.
    • Adjustable shelving organizes contents.
    • Lockable cabinet doors allow for secure, remote access to contents.

BrightDrop EV600 – BrightDrop’s second product to market will be the EV600 — an electric light commercial vehicle purpose-built for the delivery of goods and services over long ranges. It will combine zero-emissions driving with a range of advanced safety and convenience features more common in consumer electric vehicles. EV600 features and benefits include:

    • Powered by the Ultium battery system, the EV600 is targeted to have an estimated range of up to 250 miles on a full charge 1.
    • Peak charge rate of up to 170 miles of EV range per hour via 120kW DC fast charging.
    • Over 600 cubic feet of cargo area.
    • Available at a GVWR of less than 10,000 pounds.
    • Segment leading safety features
      • Standard safety features2 include: Front and Rear Park Assist, Automatic Emergency Braking, Forward Collision Alert, Following Distance Indicator, Front Pedestrian Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, IntelliBeam automatic high beams and HD Rear Vision Camera.
      • Additional available safety and driver assistance features include: Rear Cross Traffic Braking, Blind Zone Steering Assist, Reverse Automatic Braking, HD Surround Vision, Rear Pedestrian Alert, Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking, among others.
    • Cargo area security system with motion sensors to help keep cargo secure.
    • A 13.4-inch-diagonal, full-color infotainment screen.
    • Front sliding pocket doors, wide cabin walkways and a large auto-open cargo bulkhead door all contribute to optimize driver efficiency.

Early customer interest in the EV600 has been strong, with the first vehicles to be delivered by the end of this year. BrightDrop expects to make the EV600s available to more customers to order starting in early 2022.

Software-enabled services

BrightDrop offers an integrated, cloud-based software platform, which provides customers visibility and access to their BrightDrop products through both web and mobile interfaces. Built-in connectivity provides businesses with detailed data and insights that can help improve overall operations, including route efficiency, asset utilization and product upgrades. Drivers and couriers can utilize the mobile application for a variety of tasks.

BrightDrop mobile asset management – EP1 connectivity provides customers real-time features, including location monitoring, battery status, remote commands to lock and unlock, and over-the-air updates of connected features.

BrightDrop EV fleet management – EV600 connectivity provides fleet operators remote access, real-time location, battery and charging management, driver safety coaching and incident recording, remote diagnostics, safety alerts and predictive maintenance insights, and over-the-air updates.

Future concepts – The EP1 and EV600 are only the beginning. BrightDrop will continue to grow its product offerings over time to include a portfolio of integrated, zero-emissions products to help drive further efficiencies and address emerging customer needs. A number of concepts are being explored, such as a medium-distance solution that transports multiple EP1s, and a rapid load delivery vehicle concept.

Innovating with FedEx Express

BrightDrop is the result of extensive research and listening to challenges faced by delivery customers and then leveraging GM expertise to develop real-life solutions. An EP1 pilot program has already been completed in partnership with FedEx Express. During the pilot, FedEx Express couriers were able to effectively and safely handle 25 percent more packages per day with the EP1s. FedEx Express couriers shared feedback that the EP1s were easy to maneuver and reduced physical strain.

With plans to continue innovating, BrightDrop and FedEx Express have another pilot scheduled to take place in one of the biggest urban centers of the U.S. this quarter. FedEx Express is also slated to be the first customer of the EV600, receiving their vehicles later this year.

«Our need for reliable, sustainable transportation has never been more important,» said Richard Smith, FedEx Express regional president of the Americas and executive vice president of global support. «BrightDrop is a perfect example of the innovations we are adopting to transform our company as time-definite express transportation continues to grow. With this new suite of products, we will help improve the safety, security and timeliness of FedEx Express deliveries, while reducing our environmental impact and protecting the well-being of our couriers.»

BrightDrop operations

Travis Katz has joined BrightDrop as president and CEO from venture capital firm Redpoint Ventures where he was an entrepreneur-in-residence. Katz has an extensive background as a technology leader, entrepreneur and investor. This, combined with his track record of scaling global businesses, will help BrightDrop further GM’s vision of zero crashes, zero emissions and zero congestion.

BrightDrop will initially serve customers in the U.S. and Canada. It will have a customer support team to assist with every aspect of operating and servicing BrightDrop products, including supporting charging and infrastructure installation, advising on upfitting services, and retrofitting a current fleet vehicle to integrate with BrightDrop products. BrightDrop support services will also assist with maintenance needs, including securing parts and scheduling repairs.

Customers will connect with BrightDrop through an independent sales and service network, leveraging a newly established BrightDrop dealer network to support vehicle sales and service.

Elenium uses revolutionary technologies such as advanced feature recognition through biometrics to provide a completely touchless system with unmatched efficiency

LONDON, Jan. 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Based on its recent analysis of the Asia-Pacific airport self-service market, Frost & Sullivan recognizes Elenium Automation with the 2020 Asia-Pacific Technology Innovation Leadership Award. Its game-changing self-service touchless and vital sign detection technologies comprehensively enhance the passenger experience for all passengers, regardless of abilty and ensure a hygenic environment is maintained. Its AI and biometric-enabled kiosks are easy to install and operate, and deliver superior efficiency and passenger experience. Additionally, its other self-service operations, like bag tagging and off-airport check-ins, ensure a smooth passenger experience.

«The touchless kiosks can operate effectively even with passengers wearing masks, glasses, hats, and face visors. Elenium’s systems are highly intuitive, capable of working both in light and dark environments, and importantly, provide passengers with accessibility while insuring a seamless operation,» said Steven Lopez, Best Practices Research Analyst. «The kiosks use robust technology to drown out airport background noise and focus on the passenger’s speech, transmitting clear voice recognition. This is possible using proximity sensors, high-resolution cameras, and various directional microphones designed to operate and capture an individual’s voice despite high traffic and noisy environments.»

The company is committed to strengthening operational efficiency by increasing processing speeds and minimizing long passenger queues. It utilizes Flight Deck, Elenium’s operations and data management tool as an effective feedback mechanism, focusing the operations staff on preventative actions. The tool monitors operational performance by gathering autonomous passenger data that can track specifications such as which devices people use the most during the day and which airlines use the devices more than others. It uses the data to analyze passenger flow, the amount of time a passenger spends navigating through the self-service process, and the terminals with the highest traffic.

Elenium’s kiosks and bag drops demonstrate exceptional flexibility and can immediately integrate numerous types of tools to read vital signs for a potential fever using biometrics, thermal cameras, and near-infrared technology. Moreover, its systems can integrate with any third-party devices. Through its self-service solutions, Elenium helps airports establish and maintain public confidence in health screening as well as provide a streamlined method for passenger processing.

«The technology behind Elenium’s systems became and continues to remain a prominent innovation during the COVID-19 pandemic. Elenium listened to the feedback from airports regarding the virus and immediately focused on providing solutions that would help halt its spread,» noted Lopez. «This focus on customer needs and its technological superiority makes it a valuable partner in current and future markets.»

Aaron Hornlimann, CEO and Co-founder at Elenium Automation, said: «Elenium Automation is proud to be recognised by Frost & Sullivan for setting a benchmark in the automation of airports and passenger experience. Since starting the company less than five years ago, we have always been focused on improving the passenger experience. In response to the COVID-19 crisis, we combined the focus on passenger experience with finding ways to make the world safer by enhancing various customer-facing devices with touchless capability and evolving them into health screening points using contactless vital sign detection. We believe this will play a key role in restoring people’s confidence to travel and get them flying again.»

Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents the Technology Innovation Leadership Award to the company that has demonstrated uniqueness in developing and leveraging new technologies that deliver significant customer value.

Frost & Sullivan Best Practices awards recognize companies in a variety of regional and global markets for demonstrating outstanding achievement and superior performance in areas such as leadership, technological innovation, customer service, and strategic product development. Industry analysts compare market participants and measure performance through in-depth interviews, analysis, and extensive secondary research to identify best practices in the industry.

India Automotive Market Report 2020: Hatchback Segment Held the Largest Market Share of 49.17% in 2019 – Forecast to 2027

DUBLIN, Jan. 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The «India Automotive Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report by Passenger Vehicle…

DUBLIN, Jan. 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The «India Automotive Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report by Passenger Vehicle (Sedan, Hatchback, SUV), by Light Commercial Vehicle, by Heavy Truck, by Three Wheeler, by Bus & Coach, and Segment Forecasts, 2020-2027» report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.

Research and Markets Logo

The India Automotive market demand is expected to reach 6,920,991 units by 2027 and anticipated to register a CAGR of 11.3% from 2020 to 2027.

The automotive demand is driven by the rapid adoption of technology and the strong policy support from the government. Additionally, increasing awareness about environmental concerns resulting in the adoption of alternate fuel vehicles (CNG, EVs), which, in turn, is driving the market growth.

Technological advancements in the entire supply chain are anticipated to drive the market in the next seven years. For instance, companies are adopting alternate channels such as e-commerce websites to sell vehicles. Selling commercial vehicles through e-commerce websites helps the OEMs in widening their distribution network and reducing the infrastructure and labor costs.

For example, Eicher Motors Limited has recently launched five new vehicles that are exclusively available through the e-commerce channel. Similarly, sales of Tata Motor’s small commercial vehicles and pickups have increased by 25% after the company opted for the e-commerce channel to sell its vehicles.

Amid the pandemic, the need to adhere to social distancing norms has encouraged consumers to invest in personal mobility options. This demand for personal transport options is a silver lining for automakers and is expected to marginally favor the growth of the country’s automotive industry over the forecast period.

Isolated transport options are emerging as the need of the hour, with several consumers opting for entry-level cars amid economic uncertainties. Shared mobility is expected to take a hit in the light of this ongoing trend. As the trend is significantly impacted by the consumer’s spending power, it is expected that consumers with high spending capacity will dominate the sales of personal transportation options.

India Automotive Market Report Highlights

  • The 2 to 3.5 Tons segment is anticipated to expand at the fastest CAGR exceeding 15.5% over the forecast period in the light commercial vehicle owing to their compact size and relatively lower prices.
  • The hatchback segment held the largest market share of 49.17% in 2019. This share is attributed to the increasing usage of small passenger vehicles by middle-class families.
  • The more than 25 tons segment held almost half of the total heavy trucks market in 2019. This is attributable to the rising usage of heavy trucks in the construction and mining industry.
  • The three-wheeler segment is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 10.6% over the forecasted period. Passenger transport over short distances is the primary factor driving the segment demand.
