Each year, we are proud to provide students with the most up-to-date information and personalized guidance, ensuring they excel both academically and professionally in emerging fields. Our goal is to offer an unparalleled international student experience, supported by seamless assistance at every step.’

‘This event presents a unique opportunity for ambitious students, along with their parents and guardians, to gain valuable insights and make informed decisions for a successful future. I wholeheartedly invite everyone to take full advantage of what Deakin i-Week has to offer.’

Now in its seventh year, i-Week promises to empower Indian students with the knowledge and inspiration they need to shape their future careers, with all students invited to attend this one-of-a-kind initiative.

Through live interactions with Deakin academics, current students, and alumni, participants can gain valuable insights into what studying in Australia is like, the academic programs available to them, and future career paths.

Sharing his experiences with students in New Delhi, George Duke, Associate Head of School, International and Engagement, School of Humanities and Social Science, Deakin University said, ‘It has been a fantastic experience talking to so many students and their parents to get a sense of just know how fascinated they are in the subject areas of their interest. The Deakin interaction resonates very well with the students because it makes a lot of difference to be able to speak to an academic face to face rather than to be just looking for all the information online.’

‘It is great to be able to look into the students’ eyes and tell them that the career path that they are in has a great future for them.’

This year students attending Deakin i-Week can look forward to interacting with distinguished members of the Faculty of Science, Engineering and Built Environment, Faculty of Health, Faculty of Arts and Education, and Faculty of Business and Law. They are accompanied by key Deakin staff from the student support services team such as Talent Development and Employment Services and Deakin Residential Services.

The event has received widespread acclaim amongst current Indian students at Deakin University and those faculty who are visiting India.

Isha, a commerce graduate from New Delhi is excited about a bright future at Deakin in commerce and finance and shares, ‘I came with a lot of questions not just about academics but also about accommodation and support for students on campus in Australia. Information like this is difficult to find and the Deakin team here has been very helpful in putting me in direct touch with someone who can help me sort out all of that.’

‘I got a chance to interact with Deakin alumni who shared firsthand information about the best ways to settle down, make friends and thrive at Deakin.’

Among the many parents and guardians attending the session today, Manik Kheda’s parents took the opportunity to interact with the faculty and student support team and felt reassured of their son’s overseas education in computer science at Deakin. They mentioned, ‘Our son always wanted to go to Australia knowing it’s a good educational destination. The world is open, and we want the best for him. This event has provided exposure not just for the students but also for the parents to know more about Deakin. We interacted with the academics as well as student support team and it definitely instilled a lot of confidence in us.’

Students can visit the website Deakin i-Week 2024 (deakinuniversity.in) and register for a Deakin i-Week session as per the city of choice to interact with Deakin’s experts.

HANOI, Vietnam, July 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — At VEC in Vietnam on July 21, the Shandong Heavy Industry global partners conference & green intelligent products expo opened. Responding to the green transition of global commercial vehicles and heavy equipment, Weichai – with decades of expertise – unveiled five core tech routes: BEV, HEV, PEMFC, alternative-fuel ICE, and ADAS. Through full-chain proprietary control and breakthroughs, it provides efficient, low-carbon, intelligent power solutions to the global market.

Battery electric vehicle powertrain: full-chain deployment and high-efficiency recharging: Weichai masters core battery, motor, and e‑control technologies. Its CT100 battery – for heavy tractors and dump trucks – features integrated design and triple insulation, delivering better reliability, efficiency, safety, and speed. The WMS3200 drive system, tailored for heavy‑truck haulage, boosts efficiency and cuts vehicle power consumption. The WMC‑L/H/B integrated controllers offer stable, efficient control for light trucks, heavy trucks, and buses.

Hybrid electric vehicle powertrain: deep integration and ultra-long range: Weichai covers series, parallel, and series-parallel architectures, deeply integrating engine and e-drive. For urban logistics, the WP2.5T range extender offers quick response and low noise; for long-haul transport, the WP3NNG natural-gas range extender uses a “pure electric for short hauls, range-extended for long hauls” mode, with over 1,000 km combined range, easing range anxiety.

Proton exchange membrane fuel cell: zero-carbon leadership: Weichai has built a full-chain hydrogen energy system covering components, stacks, and systems. The WEF300 fuel cell engine has been deployed in volume in 49-ton heavy-duty trucks, suitable for long-haul and port logistics. The WEFG500 power generation system provides megawatt-class scalable power to support data centers and industrial plants.

Alternative fuel internal combustion engine: diverse clean-energy options and exceptional cost-effectiveness: Modular design enables flexible switching between H₂ and methanol. WP15DI hydrogen ICE peaks at 46.8% thermal efficiency; WP17T methanol ICE targets heavy‑equipment energy use, cuts operating costs, and is mass‑deployed in 130‑ton mining trucks.

Intelligent driving assistance system: vehicle-road-cloud collaboration: Weichai built a vehicle‑road‑cloud full‑stack architecture, with mining autonomous solution for cm‑level docking & obstacle avoidance, and trunk‑line ADAS with intelligent cruise & auto lane‑change, boosting high‑speed safety and economy.

Going forward, Weichai will keep iterating these five tech routes with global partners to advance sustainable manufacturing.
