IRVINE, Calif., Oct. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Mazda North American Operations (MNAO) today launched its ‘Mazda Heroes: Honoring The Human Spirit’ program (Mazda Heroes). The initiative aims to place a spotlight on individuals across the country who have selflessly dedicated themselves to their communities throughout 2020. Through Mazda Heroes, MNAO will select 50 deserving people and provide each hero with a special part of its history, a Mazda MX-5 Miata 100th Anniversary Special Edition.

«This year marks Mazda’s 100th Anniversary. We had hoped this time would be filled with moments of celebration and appreciation for our fans, employees and partners. But given the many tragic events of 2020, we decided to express, in another way, our brand’s unique heritage of trying to make things better,» MNAO President Jeff Guyton said. «In April, we launched our Essential Car Care Program to give free oil changes and car cleaning to healthcare workers across the U.S. Throughout this initiative we heard how grateful our dealers and employees were to be in service to those selflessly giving back every day. This inspired us to develop the Mazda Heroes program, which will honor individuals supporting communities and share their stories in a moment when people desire inspiration in their lives.»

From teachers going the extra mile to enhance distance learning, to community members sourcing PPE for others, there are countless examples of people across the country going above and beyond to support others without expecting anything in return. Mazda wants to honor these important acts of kindness, resilience and empathy. Stories can be submitted now through Oct. 25 at www.MazdaUSA.com/mazda-heroes for a chance to be honored as a Mazda Hero. Fifty individuals will be selected based on their demonstrated selfless acts, creative approaches, and contributions to community. Honorees will be announced beginning Dec. 2.

Mazda North American Operations is headquartered in Irvine, California, and oversees the sales, marketing, parts and customer service support of Mazda vehicles in the United States and Mexico through approximately 620 dealers. For more information on Mazda vehicles, including photography and B-roll, please visit the online Mazda media center at InsideMazda.MazdaUSA.com/Newsroom.

DUBLIN, Oct. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The «Electric All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV) and Utility-Terrain Vehicle (UTV) Market – A Global and Regional Analysis: Focus on Products, Applications, Trends, and Competition – Analysis and Forecast, 2019-2030» report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.

The Electric Vehicle Revolution Set to Create an Annual $4.30 Billion Revenue Opportunity for ATV and UTV Manufacturers Globally by 2030

Key Questions Answered in this Report:

• What are the key drivers and challenges in the global electric ATV and UTV market?
• How does the supply chain function in the global electric ATV and UTV market?
• Which electric ATV and UTV type segment is estimated to witness the maximum demand growth in the global electric ATV and UTV market during 2020-2030?
• Which are the key application areas for which different electric ATV and UTV types may experience high demand during the forecast period, 2020-2030?
• Which are the key manufacturers of different electric ATV and UTV?
• What are the business and corporate strategies of electric ATV and UTV manufacturers involved in the global electric ATV and UTV market?
• What are the key offerings of the prominent manufacturers in the global electric ATV and UTV market?
• Which regions are leading in terms of consumption of electric ATV and UTV, and which of them are expected to witness high demand growth from 2020 to 2030?
• What are the key consumer attributes in various regions for electric ATV and UTV?
• How is the market landscape for electric ATV and UTV manufacturers expected to be formed for EVs?

The global electric ATV and UTV market is mainly attributed to the increased demand for efficient vehicles, such as battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), across the globe. Additionally, the implementation of certain regulations on both producers and consumers to control the emissions from conventional vehicles, which are hazardous to the environment, is also boosting the electric ATV and UTV market.

According to the American National Standards Institute, an ATV is a vehicle that runs on low-pressure tires, with operator straddled seats and steering wheel handlebars. As the name suggests, it is designed to climb a broader range of terrain than most of the other vehicles available commercially. There are mainly two types of ATV offered by OEMs: sports ATVs and utility ATVs. Utility-terrain vehicles (UTVs) are very similar to ATVs, as they have the same drivetrain and engines and are used for riding on rough terrains. UTVs also come in three types: sports UTVs, utility UTVs, and sports-utility UTVs.

Various ATV and UTV manufacturers are developing EV variants of their vehicle models. The increasing application areas for electric ATVs and UTVs are also led by an increase in EV safety regulations, the increased demand in better driving experience, and the low cost of maintenance for EVs. Moreover, huge investments in the form of subsidies and infrastructure development by governments and federal agencies to promote EVs to cut down carbon dioxide emissions are further propelling the growth of electric ATV and UTV sales.

The major factors hindering the market growth are high retail price of electric ATVs and UTVs as compared to internal combustion engine ATVs and UTVs, range anxiety, and impact of high battery weight on electric vehicle performance.

The global electric ATV and UTV market accounted for $468.9 million in 2019 and is expected to reach $4.30 billion by 2030. The market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 23.37% during the forecast period 2020 to 2030. The market growth is mainly attributed to the rising number of government policies for electric vehicles, better availability of charging infrastructure, and increasing need to minimize the level of carbon dioxide emissions. In addition, electric ATVs and UTVs have a low cost of ownership and low noise emissions, which are expected to drive the market growth during the forecast period.

DENVER, Pa., Oct. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — A high-end array of antique and vintage petroleum signs, gas globes and early gas pumps will be waiting to impress bidders at a 1,162-lot Automobilia & Petroliana Auction slated for October 14-15 at Morphy’s gallery. Online bidding will be available through Morphy Live.

Many of the colorful rarities are from collections that were established back when petroleum-related items in pristine condition were much easier to find. As an added bonus, the big two-day event includes 12 fantastic motorcycles, including a 1948 Indian Chief Roadmaster, one of only 3,000 made during that year.

Some lucky collector could «black gold» with a very rare and outstanding 53-inch Oilzum Motor Oil & Lubricants porcelain curb sign. One of the most sought-after of all petroleum-related signs, it is double-sided and features an appealing orange-and-black image of Oilzum’s mascot, Oswald the Driver. The sides are graded 8.75 and 8.0, respectively. Auction estimate: $20,000–$30,000.

Two neon signs, in particular, are expected to capture bidders’ attention. The first is the finest example of an OK Used Cars neon porcelain dealership sign ever to pass through Morphy’s gallery doors. The double-sided sign with yellow, red, sky blue and white lettering and trim against a navy blue and yellow ground is graded 9.0+ and retains its original bullnose attachments. It has size going for it, as well, measuring 56 x 40 x 18 inches. Estimate: $14,000–$20,000.

The second neon sign highlight is a great-looking three-dimensional die-cut porcelain advertisement for Ford. With its distinctive flowing-script letters spelling out the brand name, this imposing 112-inch-wide sign was removed from a Ford dealership in Dallas in the early 1970s and has remained in the same private collection ever since. Unbeatable in its 8.5+, condition, this lot could reach $8,000–$14,000.

Forty-one high-quality gas pump globes are entered in the sale, including many rare and desirable productions. Immediately identifiable to collectors from its handsome image of a Native-American chief, a one-piece baked globe advertising «Musgo Gasoline Michigan’s Mile Marker» is date-stamped «September 20, 1929» on its interior. Graded 8.0+, this very clean, bright double-sided globe is estimated at $10,000–$15,000.

A very rare 15-inch double-sided globe issued by Wirt Franklin Petroleum Corporation (originally based in Ardmore, Oklahoma) also features a Native-American graphic: the full figure of a brave with his arm raised in a power salute. Complete on its original, nicely repainted metal body and in 9.0+ condition, this good-looking globe is estimated at $12,000–$18,000.

Collectors are already eyeing an extremely rare Wayne Roman column five-gallon visible gas pump. Its glass cylinder is in excellent condition and the pump lights up beautifully. An exceptional restoration was performed on this pump some years ago. It would be a prized asset in even the most advanced gas and oil collection. Estimate: $15,000–$25,000.

Morphy’s October 14-15, 2020 Automobilia & Petroliana Auction will be held live at Morphy’s gallery, 2000 N. Reading Rd., Denver, PA 17517, starting at 10 a.m. ET. Preview Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. All remote forms of bidding will be available as well, including live via the Internet through Morphy Live. For additional information on any item in the sale, call 877-968-8880, email info@morphyauctions.com. View the fully illustrated catalog and sign up to bid live online at www.morphyauctions.com.

HH Sheikh Khaled Bin Mohamed Al Nahyan tours the Next Generation Marine Life Theme Park

ABU DHABI, UAE, Oct. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Miral, Abu Dhabi’s leading curator of experiences, has announced over 40% construction completion of SeaWorld Abu Dhabi. In collaboration with SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment, this landmark project will bring the next generation of marine life theme parks to Yas Island and will be home to the UAE’s first dedicated marine research, rescue, rehabilitation and return center providing world-class facilities to support regional and global conservation efforts.

 

 

This project, visited by His Highness Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Member of the Abu Dhabi Executive Council and Chairman of the Abu Dhabi Executive Office, is scheduled for completion end of 2022. The next generation marine life theme park will be Yas Island’s next mega attraction, complementing Miral’s growing portfolio and enhancing the existing offerings on the Island, further positioning it as one of the top global destinations.

Built on multiple levels with a total area of approximately 183,000sqm, the park’s design leverages SeaWorld’s more than 55 years of experience in marine research, conservation, and animal welfare. SeaWorld Abu Dhabi will feature purpose-built habitats and ecosystems that will house different species together, as they are in the wild. Once complete, the marine life theme park will offer unique immersive experiences that engage visitors from the UAE and around the world, broadening their knowledge and appreciation of marine life.

The park will be home to six distinct realms which tell a unified and immersive «One Ocean» story showing the interconnectivity between all life on Earth and our oceans – «We are connected to the Ocean, and the Ocean connects all of us.» Once complete, the park will feature one of the world’s largest and most progressive indoor aquariums, an immersive ride that takes guests on a thrilling and visually stunning journey from Pole to Pole, and countless interactive exhibits.

His Excellency Mohamed Khalifa Al Mubarak, Chairman of Miral, said: «This is yet another great new addition to Yas Island’s immersive attractions and experiences. It will help further position the island as a top global destination, and contribute to the growth of Abu Dhabi’s tourism vision. We are proud to have partnered with SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment on this incredible project, which brings more than 55 years of expertise in marine conservation and world class marine animal care to Yas Island.»

Commenting on the partnership with Miral, Scott Ross, Chairman of SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment, said: «It’s a privilege to partner with Miral, a best-in-class organization, to build SeaWorld Abu Dhabi, the first new SeaWorld park in over 30 years and the first outside of North America. Yas Island is a visionary and transformational project, and is already becoming a landmark destination for global travelers. We are thrilled SeaWorld will be a part of this special place, which will further expand our vitally important marine life research, rescue, conservation and education efforts in the region.»

The research center will serve as an advanced knowledge hub for researchers, scientists, and marine conservationists to better understand and protect the region’s marine life and ecosystem. The research will include live studies into indigenous Gulf species such as dugongs and sea turtles, while further contributing to the global marine science community. Additionally, the facility will extend SeaWorld’s already global reach and play a vital role in rescue and rehabilitation efforts in the region. To date, SeaWorld has come to the aid of more than 37,000 animals in need, returning many to the wild and providing a forever home for animals that are unable to safely return to the wild.

Marc Swanson, the interim chief executive officer of SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment, commented: «SeaWorld Abu Dhabi represents the first new SeaWorld park in over 30 years and the first park outside of North America. We’re looking forward to creating unforgettable experiences for our guests, educating them about some of the planet’s most majestic marine animals, and continuing our world class animal care, conservation and advocacy work.»

One of SeaWorld Abu Dhabi’s goals is to provide impactful education and learning opportunities for its visitors. This includes engagement with local partners to build marine life and conservation awareness initiatives, inspiring the UAE’s future generations to follow marine careers and professions.

SeaWorld Abu Dhabi is part of Miral’s $ 3.2 Billion investment in developments under construction. Its recent construction milestone of 40% completion includes over 50% of the concrete poured, the heaviest 50-ton steel column installed, and acrylic for the exhibits successfully fitted.
