LOS ANGELES, Oct. 15, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Viking® (www.viking.com) today announced that world-renowned cellist Yo-Yo Ma will appear as a special guest on its new enrichment channel, Viking.TV (www.viking.tv). On October 22, as part of the Guest Speaker Thursdays series, eminent British broadcast journalist Anne Diamond will interview Yo-Yo Ma and discuss his accomplished career and philanthropic efforts, as well as his latest projects during the COVID-19 pandemic. The exclusive interview will be streamed live on Viking.TV at 2 p.m. Eastern Time / 11 a.m. Pacific Time, and viewers will have the opportunity to put forward their own questions before the livestream by emailing vikingfamily@viking.com, or during the Q&A session via an online form. As with all Viking.TV livestreams, the interview with Yo-Yo Ma will be available to watch on-demand the following day.

«We are honored to welcome Yo-Yo Ma as our guest for this special interview on Viking.TV,» said Karine Hagen, Executive Vice President of Viking. «Yo-Yo Ma’s musical talents have enriched the world for decades, and his work to foster understanding and build human connections through culture is a true inspiration. At Viking, we share the goal of bringing people together through cultural enrichment and, until we can travel together again, we are committed to continuing our mission virtually through our Viking.TV programming.»

For nearly six decades, Yo-Yo Ma’s multi-faceted career has included original and familiar works from the cello repertoire, as well as program development in collaboration with communities and institutions around the world to reinforce our humanity through culture. A celebrated musician, his discography includes more than 100 albums and 18 Grammy Awards reflecting a range of interests. Honored as a musician and humanitarian, Yo-Yo Ma has received the National Medal of Arts, Presidential Medal of Freedom and Kennedy Center Honors, among others. Since 2006, he has also served in the distinguished role as United Nations Messenger of Peace, which includes carefully selected individuals in art, literature, science, entertainment, sports or other fields of public life. 

Most recently, Yo-Yo Ma was recognized as one of TIME Magazine’s «100 Most Influential People» in 2020 in acknowledgment for his musical talents and his latest project which took shape during the past few months. At the beginning of the pandemic, Yo-Yo Ma began posting video performances to social media to offer comfort to a global audience through music. With the hashtag #SongsofComfort, Yo-Yo Ma encouraged other musicians to join him and videos were submitted by people from all walks of life, including well-known musicians such as James Taylor, Carole King and the Indigo Girls. During his interview with Anne Diamond, Yo-Yo Ma will share an update on his Bach Project, in which he set out to perform Bach’s six suites for solo cello in 36 locations around the world. The project aims to show how culture helps us to express ourselves, and how it can bring people together. Yo-Yo Ma will also discuss Silkroad, an initiative he launched in 1998 to promote cultural collaboration by bringing musicians together to build connections through music and continues today with training, social initiatives, and the Grammy-award winning Silkroad Ensemble.

Travel Leaders Network Debuts «Insider» Trips

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Oct. 15, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Travel Leaders Network is offerings its advisors several opportunities to travel the globe, via exclusive «Insider» trips the company arranged to give its members a first look at traveling during the changing travel environment.

<a href="https://mma.prnewswire.com/media/1313552/Travel_Leaders_Group_Advisors.html" target="_blank"…

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Oct. 15, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Travel Leaders Network is offerings its advisors several opportunities to travel the globe, via exclusive «Insider» trips the company arranged to give its members a first look at traveling during the changing travel environment.

Travel Leaders Network advisors can speak with authority about the measures taken to address health and safety concerns.

In the first phase of the project, 150 travel advisors will travel on a series of 18 familiarization trips to seven destinations across Mexico and the Caribbean over the next 60 days.

Travel Leaders launched the program after operating three highly successful fam trips to Dubai, Mexico and Disney World. The first set of «Insider» fams are being sponsored by Palace Resorts, Iberostar Resorts and Sandals & Beaches Resorts.

«We’ve learned from other recent fam trips that enabling our advisors to travel and get firsthand experience is one of the best tools we have to build confidence among our agents and their customers about booking a particular destination,» said Roger E. Block, President of Travel Leaders Network. «Upon completing their trips, our advisors can speak with authority about the measures airlines, resorts and destinations have taken to address health and safety concerns and what it’s really like on the ground.»

These destination visits go beyond the traditional fam trips, as they are designed to educate advisors not only in the property and destination, but to give them a deep dive into the precautions they are taking in the pandemic. All destinations are those that are currently accepting visits from American passport holders.

«Travel advisors are the original consumer influencers in the travel world,» said Block. «We know from experience that their clients pay careful attention to the advice and guidance their advisors share.»

For that reason, travel advisors chosen to attend will be encouraged to share their experiences on social media and with their network colleagues. «Insider» participants will take part in:

  • Pre-travel training webinar outlining expectations and requirements around social media exposure and content gathering
  • On-trip social media posts and live updates monitored by Travel Leaders Network’s social media team
  • Post-travel trip recap reports, photos and videos to be shared on Agent Universe, the extranet for Travel Leaders Network member agencies

«Beyond providing valuable information for travel advisors, the ‘Insider’ trips are designed to show that these destinations are open and ready to safely welcome visitors,» said Stephen McGillivray, Chief Marketing Officer, Travel Leaders Group. «By sharing these journeys, we hope to convey to travelers the seriousness with which Mexico and the Caribbean are taking precautions to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Travel advisors will lead the way in tourism’s comeback, and our ‘Insider’ trips are a great first step.»

Travel Leaders Network plans to offer additional «Insider» trips as destinations around the world open up to more travelers. While the initial program is open to US advisors, trips will also be offered to Canadian advisors in the future.

The 24 Million Electric Vehicles of 2020, Reveals IDTechEx

BOSTON, Oct. 15, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The electric vehicles market across land, sea and air will be 24 million unit sales this year, which represents a decline of roughly 19% year on year from the impact of COVID-19. Urban vehicles such as electric cars and two-wheelers have the highest unit volume, battery demand and motor demand, and, as consumer-driven markets, bear the brunt of the pandemic’s impact.

BOSTON, Oct. 15, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The electric vehicles market across land, sea and air will be 24 million unit sales this year, which represents a decline of roughly 19% year on year from the impact of COVID-19. Urban vehicles such as electric cars and two-wheelers have the highest unit volume, battery demand and motor demand, and, as consumer-driven markets, bear the brunt of the pandemic’s impact.

The volume of the electric two-wheeler market, which is just over 90% of the 24 million sales, may seem surprising. This volume comes from China, where the market is not growing. In fact, the S- curve is already over: the market peaked at roughly 30 million sales in 2016 after twenty years of growth and has stabilized at a slightly lower level (some 26 million were sold in 2019).

Since consumer purchasing power has surged, China’s urban mobility preference and future growth is now with the car. However, due to the sheer volume of Chinese electric two-wheelers, it will take a while for other motorcycle-dominated regions with a will to electrify (like India) to make a dent in the global market (we predict the 30 million mark will be surpassed again in 2029). Despite making up over 90% of unit sales today, Li-ion battery demand from two-wheelers takes only 11% of the market due to small battery sizes per vehicle and the dominance of lead-acid batteries in Asian micro-mobility segments.

In contrast, electric cars have the second-highest sales volume alongside relatively large battery capacities per vehicle, making up 7% of unit sales but over 70% of the battery demand in the new IDTechEx report «Electric Vehicles: Land, Sea and Air 2021-2041«: a share which increases for the next two decades.

The question is, against the backdrop of COVID-19, how have plug-in electric cars (BEV + PHEV) fared in 2020? The logic is that COVID-19 and a global recession increases consumer price sensitivity, which is a setback for more expensive electric cars. However, due to a backlog of orders from popular models, less price sensitivity from today’s electric car demographic and the continued commitment of governments to emissions targets, sales have shown resiliency in Europe and the US and were mostly flat during national lockdowns. IDTechEx expects H2 to show a modest recovery, but uncertainty remains high against the backdrop of a ‘second wave.’ In contrast, China’s growth has been negative, but this was the trend before the pandemic with purchase subsidy reductions of up to 60% from July 2019: COVID-19 amplified but did not set-off this trend.

Moving to the seas, Li-ion battery adoption on ships has flourished in recent years as start-ups have capitalized on falling battery cell prices from automotive battery suppliers. However, while the industry is used to much longer sales cycles and a decline is less immediately visible, the impact is likely to be less fundamental and isolated to specific subsegments. For example, the cruise sector has seen passenger demand evaporate due to the risk of being confined out at sea with thousands of passengers: IDTechEx has learned of some major orders for hybrid cruises being delayed, whilst other projects have stayed on track.

For more information, the new IDTechEx report «Electric Vehicles: Land, Sea and Air 2021-2041» puts IDTechEx’s core electric vehicle forecasts in one place: unit sales, battery demand, market sizing and more. Each chapter summarizes the main drivers, trends and forecasts for a vehicle subsegment (two-wheelers, cars, vans / LCV, trucks, buses, leisure boats, commercial short and deep-sea ships, manned aircraft) or enabling technology (Li-ion batteries, electric motors).

By providing a clearer understanding of relative market sizes, battery demand and the fastest-growing electric vehicle markets beyond cars, our aim is to give those in the industry the knowledge to make more informed decisions on their investments and focus into the electric vehicle industry.

MESA, Ariz., Oct. 15, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The SuperDuty truck world is about to change with the introduction of the first all-electric Supertruck. The 2021 GMC Hummer EV lives up to its historic nameplate by claiming the highest power ratings in the class. The Earnhardt Hummer Reservation Center expects to log its first reservations as soon as GMC gives the go-ahead on Oct. 20.

«As the first all-electric pickup truck on the market, the GMC Hummer EV represents a huge leap in capability as well as a crowning achievement: zero emissions,» said Brad Gunlikson, General Manager of Earnhardt Buick GMC in Mesa.

«The future is here,» Kurt Stewart, General Manager of Earnhardt GMC Las Vegas, added. «There is no longer a question of when or where the first electric pickup truck will appear or when it will be capable of taking over from its gas-powered counterparts. No other pickup truck generates as much power as the new GMC Hummer EV.»

Hummer EV drivers will command 1000 horsepower and 1150 pound-feet of torque. That’s, at least, double the horsepower of its rivals. The remarkable rate of torque is 100 pound-feet higher than the closest diesel-powered Super Duty truck. 

Off-roading capability is a hallmark of the GMC Hummer EV as it was for the original Humvees.  The ability to harness the high rate of torque at low speeds will help it with slow-speed crawls. Today’s modern technology allows for advanced settings such as adrenaline mode and crab mode.  

«Defying gravity, the new GMC Hummer EV will be the only pickup truck that can go from zero to 60 miles per hour in 3 seconds,» said Gunlikson.

«And there are many other reasons that drivers will find it exciting to be behind the wheel,» Stewart said. «This is also the first GMC truck with an Open Air Infinity Roof and the first vehicle ever with Unreal Engine software by Epic Games.»

Four modular roof panels will allow the new Hummer owner to turn the electric pickup truck into an open-air vehicle. The overall style certainly reflects the vehicle’s Humvee roots, but GMC ingenuity has rendered it thoroughly contemporary, inside and out.  

All digital interfaces, including the entertainment touch screen, have been built using the flexible software that Epic Games uses for such big hits as Fortnite. The systems will be faster, graphics will be photorealistic, and visual effects will be used more creatively. This human-machine interface initiative was the perfect match-up for the many advances in digital hardware spurred by the Hummer’s electrification.

Hummer enthusiasts from Phoenix, AZ, to Las Vegas, NV, can use the Earnhardt Hummer Reservation Center to stake their claim to this game-changing Supertruck. To learn more, contact Earnhardt Auto Centers at (888) 820-3377.
