Alaska Airlines launches Embraer 175 jet service in the state of Alaska

SEATTLE, Oct. 19, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Starting Oct. 18, Alaska Airlines will add jet service on the Embraer 175 aircraft in the state of Alaska. The E175, operated by regional partner Horizon Air, will serve select markets in Alaska.

SEATTLE, Oct. 19, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Starting Oct. 18, Alaska Airlines will add jet service on the Embraer 175 aircraft in the state of Alaska. The E175, operated by regional partner Horizon Air, will serve select markets in Alaska.

With the reduction of air service in Alaska earlier this year, the E175 jet gives Alaska Airlines the flexibility to increase daily frequency between Anchorage and Fairbanks, and to provide year-round service to King Salmon and Dillingham.

«This has been an especially challenging time for Alaskans both due to the pandemic and the reduction of air service last spring,» said Marilyn Romano, regional vice president of Alaska Airlines. «As part of our commitment to Alaskans and the communities we serve, we are introducing a new aircraft to our in-state 737 fleet. The E175 supports additional flying and keeps Alaskans connected within the state and beyond.»

At 76 seats, the E175 is the ideal size for many communities where larger jets are not the best option throughout the year.

«The E175 is a perfect aircraft to complement the current flying in Alaska,» said Joe Sprague, president of Horizon Air. «Our crews are focused on supporting Alaska Airlines and committed to the same outstanding service Alaskans have come to rely on for 88 years.»

With no middle seats, the regional jet is configured with 12 seats in First Class, 12 in Premium Class and 52 in Main Cabin. Onboard amenities include Wi-Fi access, Alaska Beyond Entertainment – which includes hundreds of free movies and TV shows streamed directly to customer devices – and power outlets in First Class.

Tickets to all destinations Alaska Airlines serves are available for purchase at alaskaair.com.

Alaska Airlines and its regional partners serve more than 115 destinations across the United States and North America, providing essential air service for our guests along with moving crucial cargo shipments, such as food, medicine, mail and e-commerce deliveries. With hubs in Seattle; San Francisco; Los Angeles; Portland, Oregon; and Anchorage, Alaska, the airline is known for low fares, award-winning customer service and sustainability efforts. With Alaska and its Global Partners, guests can earn and redeem miles on flights to more than 800 destinations worldwide. Learn more about Alaska at newsroom.alaskaair.com and blog.alaskaair.com. Alaska Airlines and Horizon Air are subsidiaries of Alaska Air Group (NYSE: ALK).

Dealers for Veterans: Connected Dealer Services Launches Veterans Philanthropic Partnership Program

IRVINE, Calif., Oct. 19, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Connected Dealer Services (CDS) has partnered with three veteran’s non-profit organizations in their new Dealers for Veterans program.

IRVINE, Calif., Oct. 19, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Connected Dealer Services (CDS) has partnered with three veteran’s non-profit organizations in their new Dealers for Veterans program.

The new car franchise industry has a proud history of employing a large number of veterans in dealership locations across the country. Some dealer organizations, such as Jaguar Land Rover, even have Veterans Careers programs to encourage the hiring of veterans in their dealerships.

CDS is honored to employ a number of veterans, one of whom became the inspiration behind this initiative. Ryan Anselmi, an Elo GPS account manager, served in the Army with distinction for many years. This summer, Ryan shared the tragic news that he had lost two of his brothers to suicide during the height of the recent lockdowns. The CDS leadership team immediately jumped into action to find a way to give back and support the veteran community.

The Dealers for Veterans program focuses on supporting three pillars of need within the veteran community: employment services, mental health and wellness, and wounded warriors and their families. CDS selected one non-profit partner to support each month under each pillar: Hire Heroes USA, Hope For The Warriors, and Fisher House Foundation, respectively.

Hire Heroes USA provides free job search assistance to U.S. military members, veterans, and military spouses, and they help companies connect with opportunities to hire them. Each year the military discharges 270,000 service members. 80% won’t have a job lined up and their spouses are four times more likely to be unemployed as well. Helping veterans transition from military service to civilian success is their main focus and they have helped more than 43,000 veterans and spouses move forward in their civilian careers.

Hope For The Warriors provides comprehensive support programs for service members, veterans, and military families that are focused on transition, health and wellness, peer engagement, and connections to community resources. They believe in a holistic approach to well-being and understand that many factors impact a service member’s life—family, community, employment, and countless others. As such, their programs take a 360° approach to service, promoting whole-person wellness for each service member they support.

Fisher House Foundation builds comfort homes where military & veterans’ families can stay free of charge, while a loved one is in the hospital. These homes are located at military and VA medical centers around the world. Since its inception, the program has saved over 400,000 military and veterans’ families an estimated $500 million in out-of-pocket costs for lodging and transportation. They also run Hero Miles and Hotels for Heroes programs that provide donated airline miles and hotel points to family members to stay near medical centers by their loved one’s side.

For each new dealer partner onboarded into the CDS’ Elo GPS’ lot management program, funds will be allocated to the Dealers for Veterans program and equally distributed to the three non-profit partners each month.

«These men and women are willing to sacrifice their lives to protect our families and our freedom. When they finish their service, they are the ones that need protecting as they transition back into civilian life, because around 20 veterans commit suicide each day. To me, that is unacceptable. We hope this program builds awareness to the needs within the veteran community throughout our dealer partners.» says CDS’ Chief Revenue Officer, Daniel Walpole.

TAMPA, Fla., Oct. 19, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — People busily searching for fall and winter 2020 pet travel options confront confusing requirements and regulations that change from airline to airline. If you’re one of them, this article is for you.

Please remember that human travelers planning holiday, leisure travel and vacations are responsible for booking their own and their pet’s travel with their chosen airlines.

Air Animal serves people relocating for job opportunities, career advancement, military PCS and those returning to their home countries. Air Animal Pet Movers relocates pets moving with their families anywhere in the U.S. by ground, by air or a combination of the two. For people moving overseas, Air Animal understands the destination requirements to get pets to their new homes with the least amount of stress.

«Our Air Animal team fields a sizable number of phone calls, LiveChat website inquiries and online requests for pet move proposals every day,» said Walter M. Woolf, Air Animal CEO and founding veterinarian. «We know the pet-friendly airlines. That’s why our team compiled our Holiday Pet Travel guide to help human holiday, leisure and vacation travelers.»

Air Animal’s 2020 Holiday Pet Travel guide focuses on North, Central and South America. Pet travel health documents required vary between airlines and from one destination to another. For example, Hawaii’s protocol requires a rabies antibody test before entry. As long as human travelers follow all the pet travel rules, Hawaii waives quarantine. See the resources menu at airanimal.com for country pet import requirements.

Consult Air Animal’s list before purchasing a non-refundable passenger ticket for fall or winter leisure travel. Find the airline with the pet travel and acceptance policy that permits pets as «cabin baggage» in the passenger compartment. Every passenger airline defines the number of pets eligible to fly as cabin baggage, their weight and size, and the permitted breeds and species. Airline passenger cabin policies differ—especially when it comes to the number of pets allowed in the passenger compartment.

The fall/winter 2020 pet travel scenario includes families in the USA taking their pets with them visiting relatives overseas for special life cycle events, weddings, graduations and religious holidays. The common requirements for international pet leisure travel are:

  • An implanted microchip for pet verification
  • A rabies vaccination at least 30 days old but not more than one year old
  • An international health certificate issued by a USDA-accredited veterinarian and validated by the USDA within 10 days of flight.

Canada, the Bahamas and Mexico do not require USDA endorsement for entry.

Summing Up
Leisure and holiday travelers should use the self-service Air Animal 2020 Holiday Pet Travel guide before booking holiday flights. Call the airlines and ask questions. Families relocating with pets, request a personalized pet move proposal using Air Animal’s 24/7 online form.

Thanks for your time and be safe out there!

New Land Rover Defender Named MotorTrend 2021 SUV of the Year

MAHWAH, N.J., Oct. 19, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Land Rover announced today that the new Land Rover Defender has been named the winner of MotorTrend’s 2021 «Golden Calipers» for SUV of the Year.

MAHWAH, N.J., Oct. 19, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Land Rover announced today that the new Land Rover Defender has been named the winner of MotorTrend’s 2021 «Golden Calipers» for SUV of the Year.

­­With a nod to the historic Land Rover Defender, the New Defender is the toughest and most capable Land Rover vehicle yet, combining a new body structure with all-new technologies and legendary engineering to create a Defender fit for the 21st century.

«It’s a great achievement, and an honor, for the New Defender to be selected as the SUV of the Year from MotorTrend,» said Joe Eberhardt, President & CEO, Jaguar Land Rover North America. «We know enthusiasts have been waiting for the return of this icon back to the U.S for more than 20 years, and we especially want to thank our designers, engineers and everyone else at Land Rover for helping to create a 21st century Defender that can be personalized and enjoyed for generations to come.»

Every year, the MotorTrend editorial staff meticulously selects a field of worthy contenders for its SUV of the Year® award. Contenders are put through MotorTrend’s standard battery of instrumented testing, a rigorous series of tests that measure performance under controlled circumstances, which allow the editors to evaluate the real-world driving behavior of each of the vehicles.

­­»We are thrilled to honor the Land Rover Defender with our SUV of the Year award,» said MotorTrend Editor-in-Chief Mark Rechtin. «Part of the word ‘transportation’ is not just the driving but the feeling of being transported. The moment you get into a Land Rover Defender, you are transported. Every design element gives the aura of journey, safari, moving outward into the world with courage.»

This year’s group of 28 new or redesigned SUVs and variants were evaluated and selected for excelling in MotorTrend’s six key category criteria: safety, efficiency, value, advancement in design, engineering excellence, and performance of the intended function, to determine the one model that performs best for its intended purpose and to MotorTrend’s highest standards.

In choosing the New Defender as its SUV of the Year, MotorTrend found that the reimagined icon delivered much more than just legendary off-roading capability. In redesigning the vehicle’s platform and chassis, Land Rover created a vehicle with excellent on-road comfort and handling, a slew of active and passive safety features, and strong value compared to its direct competitors.

«One SUV stood roof rack and rearviews above the rest,» said Senior Features Editor Jonny Lieberman. «There are certain vehicles you can feel are special after only 50 feet of driving. The Defender bowled us over with the wonderful synchronization of its stout engine and yeoman transmission; the exceptional ride quality; its ambient nature; the baked-in, go-anywhere capability; and its amazing value.»

The 2021 Defender 110 is on sale now in the U.S. and is priced from $50,1001; the Defender 90 body style will be available early in 2021 and will be priced from $46,1001. Configure your New Defender at www.landroverusa.com/Defender.

Global Fuel Cell Vehicles Market 2020-2030: Analysis of the Current and Future Scenarios of FCEV Sales, Stations, Hydrogen Fuel, and the Push from Governments

DUBLIN, Oct. 19, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The «Strategic Collaborations Towards Technology…

DUBLIN, Oct. 19, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The «Strategic Collaborations Towards Technology Development Transforming The Global Fuel Cell Vehicles Market, 2020 – 2030» report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.

Research and Markets Logo

Use this report to gain insights into OEM strategies in establishing a profitable supply chain and to track the various automotive trends and their impact on the FCEV market.

This study gives us a detailed analysis of the current and future scenarios of FCEV sales, stations, hydrogen fuel, and the push from governments for their adoption in regions like North America, Europe, China, Japan, and South Korea.

The automotive industry is rapidly evolving in terms of technology as well as tackling environmental issues. Electric vehicles (EVs) have been introduced as a clean energy initiative as they have low or zero emissions, and have come a long way to become an integral part of OEMs’ business strategies. Automakers like PSA and VW are creating separate EV business units to be prepared for the expected EV boom in the future. Along with long-range battery electric vehicles (BEVs), governments and OEMs are also looking at fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) as a viable solution especially for light & heavy commercial vehicles (CVs) and sports utility vehicles (SUVs) in passenger cars.

Currently, there are only 3 models active in the market – Hyundai Nexo (most sold in 2019), Toyota Mirai, and Honda Clarity. Hyundai Tucson is awaiting an upgrade and we can expect a new Tucson and Clarity in the market next year. We expect about 25+ models to be available, together accounting for about 1-1.5% of global passenger car (PC) sales by the end of this decade.

Proton exchange membrane, or PEM, is currently the only type of fuel cells found viable for usage in mobility due to its high power density and other advantages related to low weight and volume compared to other types. It operates at low temperatures of about 80 degrees Celsius, which makes it suitable for mobility applications and other uses that require an initial high demand of power, which is of high density.

Cost, infrastructure, and safety are the few most important barriers for the growth in FCEV sales. Companies across the value chain and governments are working closely towards reducing the cost of the vehicle, hydrogen production and retail pricing, increasing the number of refueling stations and improving safety, and we can expect FCEVs to have price parity with traditional internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles by 2030.

Key Issues Addressed

  • What is the current sales trend of FCEVs? Who are the major OEMs in the market and what are their key models?
  • How will the scenario change by 2030 in terms of sales? How will OEMs and regions perform in the year and who will lead the market?
  • What is the current hydrogen production and costs scenario and how will it change by 2030? What will be its impact on FCEV sales?
  • What are the goals and targets of governments and how are they pushing the growth of FCEV and its related markets?
  • How many refueling stations are currently in operation in different regions? What is the cost of establishing such stations and how will it reduce? How many refueling stations will be available in 2030?

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 19, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Romeo Power, the manufacturer of advanced battery packs with high energy density for electric vehicles, has released a family of battery packs that range in size from 30kWh to 1 MWh to serve the commercial vehicle market. Romeo’s technology has solved the problem of quickly getting electric commercial trucks and buses the battery configurations needed to accelerate their move to full electric.  Romeo Power has proprietary IP that enables battery packs to serve multiple markets no matter the size of the motor, which means they can serve a wider customer base, faster.

«We noticed a gap in the e-mobility industry for commercial vehicles, so we set out to develop a battery pack family that could not only power the largest vehicles but take them further than the rest,» said Lionel Selwood Jr., CEO of Romeo Power. «This is a huge competitive advantage, the future is all electric, and our packs can easily be configured to meet the needs of any commercial vehicle in the market.»

«It’s important to understand that Romeo bridges the gap between the battery cell manufacturers and the OEMs (vehicle manufacturers).  Romeo’s magic is in applying advanced know-how in areas like materials, structures, thermal management, software and algorithms to create the safest and among the highest energy density systems on the market today, all while meeting or exceeding the long-life needs of commercial vehicles. The combination of design decisions and novel manufacturing methods enables high performance at an optimized cost,»
says Dr. A.K Srouji, CTO of Romeo Power

Romeo Power battery packs can be configured to meet exact, unique specifications quickly without needing to redesign the entire battery to fit unusual spec requirements. Romeo’s BEV family of packs is the first of its kind that can be used across a broad spectrum of commercial uses, from Class 3 delivery vehicles to Class 8 heavy-duty, long haul vehicles. Headquartered in Los Angeles, Romeo Power battery packs are made in the USA and have among the highest volumetric and gravimetric energy density and fastest charge time. They are the safest packs with high energy density being built and delivered today, using advanced cooling methods to maximize energy utilization and product longevity.

To ensure battery life, efficiency and peak operability for customers, once installed in its customers’ vehicles.  Romeo Power uses proprietary machine learning technology to monitor its battery packs to maximize performance. The data collected provides Romeo Power customers with unique insights to maximize the value of their battery packs – and their warranties.

Cloudbet Unveils Betting With Gold in Gaming World First

– Crypto gaming pioneer adds Pax Gold coin to its platform

– PAXG is Cloudbet’s third stablecoin integration this year

LONDON, Oct. 19, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Cloudbet, the pioneering crypto casino and sportsbook, has added Pax Gold to its platform, making history by allowing players to

– Crypto gaming pioneer adds Pax Gold coin to its platform

– PAXG is Cloudbet’s third stablecoin integration this year

LONDON, Oct. 19, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Cloudbet, the pioneering crypto casino and sportsbook, has added Pax Gold to its platform, making history by allowing players to bet online with gold for the first time ever.

 

Milestone moment: Cloudbet, the crypto gaming pioneer, has added Pax Gold coin to its platform, allowing players to bet online with gold for the first time ever

 

The integration of gold betting on a crypto-gaming platform marks a unique milestone in the evolution of tokenisation, whereby a physical asset is made divisible, tradable and easier to exchange through smart contracts and blockchain technology. Each unit of PAXG is a digital asset backed by one fine troy ounce of a gold bar held in custody by the Paxos Trust Company.

«Tokenisation allows individuals to express their spending habits through the assets they choose to hold, rather than having to use currencies to which they hold no philosophical or economic attachments,» a Cloudbet spokesperson said. «In this case, we’re empowering players that want to own gold with the means to place bets with a gold casino or a gold sportsbook.»

New players who deposit PAXG with the operator are eligible for a welcome bonus worth up to 5 units of the gold coin (almost $10,000 at current prices), as well as 100 free spins over two weeks on a gold-themed slot in the Cloudbet casino.

PAXG is Cloudbet’s third major stablecoin betting integration after launching USD Tether and USD Coin earlier this year. Stablecoins protect the value of cryptocurrency winnings from the extreme price fluctuations experienced by holders of non-stablecoins.

PAXG’s value is tied to the price of gold, while USDT and USDC are fixed 1-to-1 with the US dollar, so fiat values of winnings in these currencies don’t swing with cryptocurrency market prices. Traditional fiat currency audiences can utilise stablecoins to trial the benefits of betting with crypto: Fast transactions, low fees and industry-leading bonuses.

The new coin amplifies what’s on offer at Cloudbet for players seeking the best odds and highest limits for crypto betting. Founded in 2013, Cloudbet is one of the world’s longest established bitcoin betting operators, with a history of innovation in the crypto-gaming space.

The operator relaunched its site in April and has introduced a swathe of bold new features including esports, politics betting and easy credit-card coin purchases. The site also accepts ethereum and bitcoin cash.

Cars without the faff

FARNHAM, England, Oct. 19, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — cinch has announced the launch of its new ground-breaking online platform that aims to become the vehicle ecommerce site of the future, completely changing the way people buy used cars in the UK.

Customers will now be able to choose and buy their vehicle entirely online from the UK’s largest and fully digital used car ecommerce site and have their vehicles delivered to their home free of charge. The new services have been launched in response to growing demands to buy online, a trend accelerated by COVID-19 and one that is set to continue.

New research commissioned by cinch found that 64% of British drivers would now consider buying a car online, with 71% confirming that COVID-19 has changed the way they shop. Comparatively, only 34% would have considered buying a car online this time last year, revealing an 88% increase and majority shift in attitude over the last 12 months. Over a third (35%) of drivers advise they are definitely more likely to shop online due to the pandemic, with over one in four (29%) admitting their online spend has increased. Moreover, 32% cite ‘choice’ as an important factor when buying a car – something cinch has in abundance.

Speaking about the new platform, Joanna Kerr, Marketing Director at cinch, says: «Since the beginning, our vision has always been to make the car finding and buying process as easy, transparent and trustworthy as possible. Consumer behaviour has evolved in the last 10 years and the global pandemic has accelerated the need and desire to buy online. As a society, we’re more and more comfortable buying a variety of items online through trusted platforms. We want to give our customers the chance to enjoy the same experience when finding and buying their next car.»

In addition, cinch has launched its latest TV campaign, ‘You’re in the driving seat, Britain,’ fronted by brand ambassador Rylan Clark-Neal. The TV commercial, which first aired on Friday 9th Oct, announced the latest offering – showcasing free home delivery and a 14-day money back guarantee.

cinch’s aim is to transform the used car buying process into an end-to-end online experience that ensures ease of use, transparency, trust and fantastic services. The car site prides itself on:

  • Unmatched choice with over 4,000 high quality used cars available and growing rapidly, fully vetted with a 225-point check on each vehicle
  • Easy, guaranteed part-exchange and collection of a customer’s old vehicle upon delivery of their new one
  • Easy payment and financing with a large panel of financing options available fully online
  • Free home delivery allowing customers to pick a two-hour delivery slot, seven days a week, anywhere across UK-mainland
  • The lifestyle matchmaker allowing customers to find and buy a car based on their lifestyle needs
  • …and an easy 14-day no-quibble return policy for anyone that doesn’t love their new car

As a marketplace, cinch will also offer a new way to reach and serve customers for all players in the used car value chain. Dealers, car manufacturers and leasing companies will have the opportunity to offer their vehicles directly to consumers through the cinch platform. All cars will be prepared to cinch’s retail standard and will respect its rigorous quality controls.

As part of BCA, Britain’s business leader in used cars across Europe, cinch is in a unique position to transform the used car buying experience for consumers. Joanna concludes: «Most people dread the experience of buying a used car. cinch changes that.

«It’s the perfect time for a game-changer in the used car industry; we’ve done our research and our insight has helped us appreciate the importance of choice, ease of use and trust. Consumers want as much choice as possible when looking for their used car. They want buying to be easy, transparent and quality-guaranteed. Our aim is to give customers what they want and help the UK embrace new digital marketplaces.»
