MIAMI, Oct. 20, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Private Jet Card Comparisons, the ultimate buyer’s guide to private aviation jet cards and memberships, shares insights on the most commonly asked questions about the industry, following a recent survey by the site that revealed 90% of new and existing private aviation users are expecting to travel by private jet between October and December of this year. Serving as an educational resource in a cluttered market, Private Jet Card Comparisons allows subscribers to compare over 50 providers and more than 250 programs based on 65 variables, including a proprietary flight pricing calculator.

«Studies show that jet cards are becoming increasingly popular as affluent travelers and companies seek safe travel solutions,» said Doug Gollan, Founder and Editor-in-Chief of Private Jet Card Comparisons. «These programs offer customers the ability to book flights at guaranteed rates with as little as 8 hours’ notice by means of a single call or text message. We help clients sift through the many available programs to select the option that best fits his or her needs and lifestyle, including empty legs for those who have more flexibility and a lower budget.»

CUPRA is the first automotive brand to participate in Extreme E

– CUPRA partners with ABT, helping promote electrification, sustainability and equality

– CUPRA grows its electrified motorsport knowledge helping feed knowledge into its passenger vehicle line-up

– CUPRA partners with ABT, helping promote electrification, sustainability and equality

– CUPRA grows its electrified motorsport knowledge helping feed knowledge into its passenger vehicle line-up

MARTORELL, Spain, Oct. 20, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — CUPRA is taking its motorsport heritage into the contemporary times joining the Extreme E racing series as the main partner of the ABT Sportsline team.

Extreme E, the electric SUV off-road competition, is set to travel across some of the world’s most extreme environments in 2021 with a five-stage format. The global voyage will utilise its international entertainment platform to promote electrification, sustainability, and equality.

CUPRA’s move into the Extreme E arena isn’t a surprise, as the brand has always pushed the boundaries of what is possible. The CUPRA e-Racer – the world’s first all-electric racing touring car – integrated four single-speed electric motors that delivered a combined 680PS (500kW) and 960Nm with a 65kWh liquid cooled battery pack, helping redefine what motorsport could be.

That project helped the brand develop its knowledge as it takes a journey towards electrification becoming an ever more important part of its passenger vehicle line-up. And it now has the CUPRA Leon plug-in hybrid, which will be followed at the beginning at 2021 by the CUPRA Formentor plug-in hybrid, which will be available in 2 different variants, and will be joined by the CUPRA el-Born in the second half of next year. All vehicles will bring sustainable mobility with the character and dynamism that enthusiasts desire.

Extreme E: An electric odyssey

CUPRA will pair up with ABT Sportsline as the racing team’s main partner, and will contribute to lining up a team of engineers and drivers for this electric odyssey. The Extreme E has a gender equal sporting format whereby teams must field one male and one female driver. The first of whom is CUPRA e-ambassador, Mattias Ekström.

«Extreme E is a mix of Raid and Rally Cross, racing through very different environments with tracks marked using GPS,» said Ekström. «But it holds a lot of promise for developing electric vehicles; collecting data to feedback into cars in areas such as software and regeneration.»

CUPRA’s involvement in Extreme E isn’t solely because of a desire to exceed in motorsport, but to also feed accrued knowledge back into its passenger vehicle in great many areas including driveability, power delivery, chassis setup and steering.

Shift Unveils New Brand Strategy Championing Used Cars

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 20, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Online used car marketplace Shift (NASDAQ: SFT) has today unveiled its new brand strategy, including an ad campaign, new look and feel and an official spokesperson for the company.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 20, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Online used car marketplace Shift (NASDAQ: SFT) has today unveiled its new brand strategy, including an ad campaign, new look and feel and an official spokesperson for the company.

The rebrand is the culmination of a months-long strategy as part of its growth trajectory. In seeking to create a unique brand position, Shift sought out boutique brand agency Register by Design, whose founder and Chief Strategy Officer Lucy Farey-Jones led major automotive brands, like Audi, to achieve historic success.

The overarching theme of the new Shift brand is embracing and celebrating used cars — unique in a category that often pushes consumers to purchase brand new vehicles. Used cars are often inherently cheaper, and therefore ultimately better for consumers. But while most consumers rationally understand that buying a used car is a smarter decision — and Shift agrees — they often don’t feel good doing so, in large part because of the stigma and hassle associated with it.

It was this insight that inspired the company’s new brand. By being driver-centric and tech-forward, Shift is challenging the traditional model to give consumers a better used car buying experience — one they can feel good about. Shift proudly celebrates and champions used cars, and the savvy consumers who buy them. We value their time, their money, and their needs — and we believe they should not have to choose between feeling good and making a smart decision.

In the spirit of rationality, the inaugural campaign for the new brand is called «Straight Shooter,» and features as its spokesperson noted comedy actor Martin Starr, who is known for his roles as «Gilfoyle» on HBO’s Silicon Valley and «Bill Haverchuck» on NBC’s Freaks and Geeks.

«We aren’t afraid to say that used cars are a savvy decision — one that everyone should feel good about, and have access to,» said Tracy Lessin, Vice President of Marketing at Shift. «We wanted to call it like we see it and align with our savvy consumer. The logical arguments in favor of used cars are so obvious; partnering with Martin Starr’s straightforward brand of humor was a perfect way to dispel the myth that buying a new car is better. There is a door number three, and that’s Shift.»

The brand reinforces the company’s mission to make buying a used car simple, fair, and accessible for everyone. This important consumer purchase is made all the more approachable and accessible by Shift’s unique service offering, which leverages modern technology to introduce more convenience and remove traditional obstacles like opaque pricing and trips to the DMV.

«Used cars are a huge market hidden in plain sight. People know that buying used makes rational sense but there’s a gap in the market for a brand to make an emotional connection around the savviness of buying used,» commented Farey-Jones, Register’s founder. «With their driver-centered, tech-forward process, Shift is on a mission to make used cars fun, fair, and accessible for everyone — at the core of that, to make buying a used car feel better than buying new.»

The new «Straight Shooter» campaign ads featuring Martin Starr will run on various channels beginning Oct. 21.

About Shift

Shift is a leading end-to-end auto ecommerce platform transforming the used car industry with a technology-driven, hassle-free customer experience.

PITTSBURGH, Oct. 20, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — After months of social distancing and quarantine measures, it’s only natural to daydream about your next big getaway. And if you’re going to dream, you might as well dream big, so allow us to serve up some inspiration. Join Tomorrow’s World Today and IHG® Hotels & Resorts on a visit to the glittering high rises of Dubai and sandy shores of Oman to enjoy the best of hotels stays, from jaw-dropping views and luxurious bedding to fine dining – but with sustainability at the heart.

Tomorrow’s World Today Discovery Reporter Jackie Long checks into IHG Hotels & Resorts‘ voco™, InterContinental® and Crowne Plaza® properties in Dubai, and the Six Senses resort in Oman to learn all about their efforts to operate responsibly, from reducing plastic and food waste to creating unique guest experiences that help protect the planet, too.

Keith Barr, Chief Executive Officer, IHG Hotels & Resorts, commented: «Our purpose of True Hospitality for everyone not only means giving our guests the best experiences when they stay with us, but it also means doing right for the world around us. Many of our guests tell us how this responsible element of travel is increasingly high on their agenda and their response to some of our actions in this space is really encouraging, from how we innovate inside the hotel and support local communities, to inspiring future generations of hoteliers. These fantastic hotels in Dubai and Oman are a great representation of some of the sustainability work that takes place in our 5,900+ hotels all over the world, and we were thrilled to welcome Jackie and the Tomorrow’s World Today team to experience it first-hand.»

Long sees first-hand how the global hotel company works with green suppliers to minimize waste, such as The Fine Bedding Company, who use recycled bottles to create plush duvet and pillow filling at the voco™ Dubai hotel. Long also learns about the hotel group’s use of AI technology, Winnow, to track, measure and reduce food waste from hotel buffets and restaurants, with InterContinental® Dubai Festival City’s clever menus resulting in both happy guests and 100,000 meals worth of food saved in just one year.

Long’s travels see her arrive at the luxury Six Senses Zighy Bay resort in Oman, tucked away between the dramatic rugge d Musandam mountains and powdery beaches. While discovering the unique experiences the resort offers its guests, Long learns how sustainability is built into the heart of this destination, from home-grown dining and souvenirs made from recycled glass, to the on-site creation of clean drinking water, which are all part of promoting a plastic-free stay.

Finally, we learn about the efforts IHG Hotels & Resorts undertakes to support the next generation of talent through work experience days. Run in partnership with INJAZ al-Arab, part of NGO, JA Worldwide, Long hosts a competition at Crowne Plaza® Dubai Festival City for local Dubai International School students which not only gives them a first-hand look at the inner workings of a hotel, but also inspires them to think creatively for solutions that promote a greener future for hospitality.

Exro Opens Calgary Innovation Center to Make Electric Motors Faster, Stronger, and Smarter

  • Launching of the Calgary Innovation Center marks a major milestone toward delivering commercial products with in-house design, testing and assembly
  • Test equipment will facilitate small and large prototypes for operating applications in relevant environments to enhance electric motors
  • The Calgary facility will become the new company headquarters and support new research and development projects with global impact

CALGARY, AB, Oct….

  • Launching of the Calgary Innovation Center marks a major milestone toward delivering commercial products with in-house design, testing and assembly
  • Test equipment will facilitate small and large prototypes for operating applications in relevant environments to enhance electric motors
  • The Calgary facility will become the new company headquarters and support new research and development projects with global impact

CALGARY, AB, Oct. 20, 2020 /PRNewswire/ – Exro Technologies Inc. (TSXV: EXRO) (OTCQB: EXROF) (the «Company»), a leading technology company which has developed a new class of power electronics for electric motors and powertrains, is pleased to announce it is opening the doors to the newly established Calgary Innovation Center.

Launching of the Innovation Center in Calgary marks a major milestone for Exro in its path to delivering commercial products. The new facility will allow in-house design, testing, and assembly of manufactured products to enhance the performance of electric motors and powertrains. The test equipment will feature small and large test bays that will demonstrate the patented technology in relevant environments and accelerate prototypes in operating applications.

This will expand the potential for more strategic partnerships with the Coil Driver technology while also creating a platform for proof of concepts in new research and development projects. Exro will continue to be focused on its mission to deliver intelligent innovations in electrification with minimum energy and maximum results.

«We are looking forward to delivering on the vision of the new Calgary headquarters», commented Sue Ozdemir, Chief Executive Officer of Exro. «Calgary has welcomed us with open arms, and we couldn’t be more excited to be here during this transformative time. We have had explosive growth since arriving in Calgary, and we look forward to continuing that growth with our business and technology.»

About Exro Technologies Inc.

Exro is a Clean Tech company that has developed a new class of control technology for electric powertrains.  Exro’s advanced motor control technology, our «Coil Driver», expands the capabilities of electric motors and powertrains. The Coil Driver enables two separate torque profiles within a given motor. The first is calibrated for low speed and high torque, while the second provides expanded operation at high speed. The ability to change configuration allows efficiency optimization for each operating mode, resulting in overall reductions in energy consumption. The controller automatically and seamlessly selects the appropriate configuration in real time so that torque demand and efficiency are optimized.

The limitations of traditional electric machines and power technology are becoming more evident. In many increasingly prominent applications, traditional methods cannot meet the required performance. This means either oversizing the equipment, adding additional motors, or implementing heavy mechanical geared solutions. Exro offers a new solution for system optimization through implementation of its technology which can yield the following results: increased drive cycle efficiency, reduced system volume, reduced weight, expanded torque and speed capabilities. Exro allows the application to achieve more with less energy consumed.

Lightning Systems Renames Company Lightning eMotors, Expands to Meet Growing Demand for Medium-Duty Commercial EVs

LOVELAND, Colo., Oct. 20, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Lightning Systems, a leading provider of complete electrification solutions for commercial fleets, today announced that it is expanding and renaming the company to Lightning eMotors, effective immediately.

LOVELAND, Colo., Oct. 20, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Lightning Systems, a leading provider of complete electrification solutions for commercial fleets, today announced that it is expanding and renaming the company to Lightning eMotors, effective immediately.

«When we originally selected Lightning Systems as our name, our product strategy was focused on fleet-related subsystems and software,» said Tim Reeser, chief executive officer, Lightning eMotors. «As our focus has solidified around the zero-emissions battery electric and fuel cell electric vehicles markets, we feel our new name, Lightning eMotors, better represents our full-service e-mobility offerings for fleets, ranging from commercial EVs to charging solutions to vehicle analytics.»

This past spring, Lightning more than doubled its manufacturing space, with more expansion planned. During the summer, the company ramped up production by more than 600 percent and continues to increase production as its orders increase. In addition, the company recently doubled its workforce and expects to double it again next year.

«There is significant momentum building in the commercial medium-duty EV industry, driven by social and regulatory trends and now being accelerated by the realization of very compelling total cost of ownership numbers for most fleets,» Reeser said. «In fact, now that the total cost of ownership of electric medium-duty vehicles has undercut traditional gas and diesel vehicles, demand has now outstripped supply for us and the industry as a whole, and we’re responding by investing in our business to innovate, expand and directly meet the growing needs of our current customers and the growing market.»

Underscoring its mission to provide full-service fleet electrification solutions, the company recently launched a new division, Lightning Energy, offering charging technologies and charging as a service (CaaS) to commercial and government fleets. Lightning Energy designs, installs, services and manages charging solutions, providing fleets with an easy entry and full support to electrify and help stakeholders to achieve their sustainability goals.

«When you combine Lightning Energy’s turnkey charging solutions with our premium all-electric medium-duty vehicles, Lightning eMotors now offers a truly cradle-to-grave solution for commercial fleets,» Reeser said. «Commercial fleets that need to move quickly on electrification can now turn to us for the products they need and handle the deployment details on their own, or they can let Lightning manage and finance the entire process for a flat monthly fee.»

Lightning eMotors’ headquarters, manufacturing operations and research/development are based at the former Hewlett-Packard/Agilent campus, north of Denver in southwest Loveland, Colorado.

Lightning updated its website to reflect the name change. To learn more, visit https://lightningemotors.com.

About Lightning eMotors
Lightning eMotors provides complete electrification solutions for commercial fleets – from Class 3 cargo and passenger vans to Class 6 work trucks, Class 7 city buses, and Class 8 motor coaches. The Lightning team designs, engineers, customizes and manufactures electric vehicles to support the wide array of fleet customer needs, with a full suite of telematics, analytics and charging solutions to simplify the buying and ownership experience and maximize uptime and energy efficiency.

Whitehall Lane Winery Released the First-Ever Camminare Noir and Paseante Noir Wines Made from California’s Newest Sustainable Grape Varieties Developed at UC Davis

SAINT HELENA, Calif., Oct. 20, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — These red wines were 20 years in the making; or rather, the grape vines took two decades to develop.

SAINT HELENA, Calif., Oct. 20, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — These red wines were 20 years in the making; or rather, the grape vines took two decades to develop. Whitehall Lane joined forces with Dr. Andrew Walker of UC Davis and Dr. Paul Skinner of Vineyard Investigations in Napa Valley and planted these experimental grape varieties because they are highly resistant to Pierce’s disease. Pierce’s disease is caused by a bacterium spread by leafhopper insects called sharpshooters. It infects grape vines across the US and costs California grape growers more than $100 million per year.  

«These varieties will hopefully make viticulture much more sustainable and provide a high-quality wine that the industry will welcome,» said Walker. Whitehall Lane owner Katie Leonardini agrees with Walker adding, «Rather than trying to manage the sharpshooter with insecticides and potentially harming other beneficial insects, these new rootstocks dovetail into our sustainable and green practices. And the wine is outstanding too!»

Whitehall Lane bottled the 2019 Camminare Noir and 2019 Paseante Noir wines as single, distinct varietals. These grapes from the winery’s Oak Glen Vineyard were harvested on October 15, 2019. Winemaker Jason Moulton kept the two small lots separate saying, «It was amazing how distinct these two wines were from color to flavor to texture.» He continued, «As they developed in our custom American oak barrels, it was evident that these were excellent stand-alone wines.»  The special American oak barrels were designed by Nadalie Cooperage in Calistoga, CA to specifically suit the characteristics of these new American wines.

The Camminare Noir profile is a cross between Petite Sirah and Cabernet Sauvignon and the wine has aromas and flavors of blackberries, raspberries, cherries and a dense tannin profile. The Paseante Noir is a combination of Zinfandel, Petite Sirah, and Cabernet Sauvignon and delivers flavors of cassis, coffee, and berry.  Fewer than 25 cases of each were made and are available at the winery.

Whitehall Lane planted the two rootstocks in 2016 in their Oak Glen Vineyard. Dr. Walker, professor of viticulture and enology at UC Davis, developed the rootstock, creating grape varieties that provide high-quality wine while elevating the level of sustainable grape growing. «Whitehall Lane was constantly replanting dead vines infected by Pierce’s disease,» said Dr. Skinner. «I knew the Oak Glen vineyard was a perfect location for Walker’s experimental varieties.»  

Whitehall Lane Winery is a family-owned and operated winery in Napa Valley’s historic Rutherford Appellation. They are dedicated to growing and making premium Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir wines from their eight estate vineyards.  They provide friendly hospitality at their Napa Valley winery and are Napa Green winery and vineyard certified with sustainable practices.

Dr. Walker is a faculty member of the Department of Viticulture and Enology at UC Davis. His lab is actively involved in breeding wine grapes for resistance to Pierce’s disease.

MarketsandMarkets Logo

Increased use of electronics per vehicle and a growing number of connected cars, and reinforcement of mandates by regulatory bodies for vehicle data protection are key factors that will drive the market for the Automotive Cybersecurity Market. The growth of the V2X market is also one of the factors that drive the Automotive Cybersecurity Market.

Vehicle production was low in April and May 2020 in the major European, Asia Pacific countries, and the US due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Earlier, the Automotive Cybersecurity Market was expected to witness rapid growth from 2022 onward as major regulations are outlined to be imposed. As vehicle production is suspended, any new investment for advanced technology is unlikely. OEMs and tier 1 players are either using cash reserves or acquiring funds to continue operations during the crisis.

Increasing use of mechatronics devices and increasing demand of connected vehicle services inside the vehicle is expected to result in the dominance of the passenger vehicle segment in the Automotive Cybersecurity Market

The passenger vehicles segment is expected to lead the Automotive Cybersecurity Market during the forecast period, owing to the demand for connected vehicle services and growing sales of mid-luxury and luxury vehicles.  The electrical/electronic (E/E) architecture of passenger vehicles is complex and critical than LCVs and HCVs. These vehicles are equipped with a considerable number of ECUs and are more prone to cyberattacks compared with the other two categories of vehicles. Connected passenger vehicles are expected to be the Internet of Things (IoT) in the coming years. These vehicles will be able to collect massive amounts of data from different sources. Passenger vehicles will be capable of exchanging data and alert drivers of potential dangers. These vehicles will also be able to interact with sensors on road signs on stoplights, bus stops, and even the ones embedded in the roads to get traffic updates and rerouting alerts.

Increasing installation of telematics devices and push by government authorities to adopt telematics is driving the Telematics segment in the Automotive Cybersecurity Market

The market for Telematics is primarily driven by multiple factors such as an increase in the number of accidents, rising vehicle thefts, security issues while traveling, and the demand for navigation services. Telematics also helps track the location of the vehicle, and its automated interface with law enforcement agencies reduces the response time. This eventually leads to a reduction in vehicular thefts. Telematics primarily involves data exchange such as vehicle details/history, location, schedules, driving habits & activities, and other key information of private as well as fleet owners. This data exchange is done through wireless networks with external servers, making it prone to data theft.  Thus, cybersecurity plays a key role in telematics since the breach of such data can have serious consequences for end-users. Government mandates such as E-calls are likely to fuel the market in future.
