JINHUA, China, April 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — On April 15, DMEGC Solar, a global leader in magnetic materials and renewable energy solutions, achieved a milestone breakthrough in sustainable development. With outstanding performance in environmental protection, social responsibility, and other key areas, the company earned a Gold Medal from the internationally recognized rating agency EcoVadis, scoring 82 points. This places DMEGC Solar in the top 3% of all rated companies worldwide, surpassing 97% of participants.

EcoVadis is a globally leading sustainability assessment platform, having rated over 150,000 companies across more than 250 industries and 185 countries. Its evaluation framework covers 21 indicators across four core themes: Environment, Labor & Human Rights, Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement. The platform aims to assess the sustainability performance and social responsibility of companies within global supply chains.

DMEGC Solar participated in the assessment at the group level rather than as a single factory, demonstrating outstanding strength across all four dimensions. In the Labor & Human Rights dimension, the company has established a comprehensive employee rights protection system, strictly implemented occupational health and safety standards, and promoted employee development and career growth, ranking in the top 1% of its industry.

In the Sustainable Procurement dimension, the company has built a full-chain green supply chain management mechanism, collaborating with core suppliers to create a “cooperative carbon reduction” ecosystem. Initiatives such as packaging material recycling, green electricity usage, and localized collaborative production have enabled a low-carbon, traceable supply chain, also ranking in the top 1% of the industry.

Coupled with strong performances in environmental governance and business ethics, the company achieved an impressive score of 82, surpassing 97% of evaluated companies and earning the Gold Medal. This distinction places DMEGC Solar at the top in the global solar module manufacturers to receive such recognition.

This Gold Medal rating will for sure strengthen the company’s competitiveness in overseas markets. On one hand, its industry-leading ESG performance helps meet policy requirements related to sustainable supply chains, enhancing both the premium pricing of its products in international markets and its ability to secure orders. On the other hand, this recognition will boost customer and partner trust in the company’s brand, supporting the expansion of market share for its core products—such as photovoltaic modules, residential energy storage systems, and magnetic materials—while consolidating its market leadership.

Results in anniversary year 2025

Revenue increases by 3.4% to 4.4 billion eurosContinued strong demand for testing and certification servicesIndependent expertise builds trust in a period of transformation

STUTTGART, Germany, April 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Despite a volatile market environment, DEKRA continued to grow in 2025. In a year marked by challenging geoeconomic conditions and some negative trends – especially within the European automotive industry – the global testing, inspection, and certification organization increased revenue by 3.4% to 4.4 billion euros.

“This development demonstrates the stability of DEKRA’s business model and the continued strong demand for our independent inspection, testing, and certification services,” says DEKRA CEO Stan Zurkiewicz. “With increasing digitalization across all sectors, the need for independent verification and certification is growing – and our expertise is a key success factor.”

This stability is also reflected in earnings performance: Adjusted earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) rose to around 275 million euros (+3.3%). This provides DEKRA with the financial basis for targeted investments in innovation, infrastructure, and new business areas; in 2025, the company invested a total of 127 million euros, of which close to 40 million euros were invested in its home market of Germany.

“2025 was a year in which we laid the foundation for the next phase of growth,” adds Stan Zurkiewicz. “We invested specifically in our future fields of Mobility, Digital Trust, and Sustainability – areas where trust is a prerequisite for scaling innovation.”

NEW YORK, April 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Atlas Cloud has opened full API access to Seedance 2.0, ByteDance’s most advanced AI video generation model. Developers and businesses worldwide can now access the model instantly — no waitlist, no minimum commitment, no regional restrictions.

The Access Problem

Seedance 2.0 has been technically impressive since its release, but getting reliable access has been a real obstacle. ByteDance’s own Jimeng platform requires Chinese credentials. Official enterprise access involves procurement timelines that most teams can’t afford to wait on. Third-party providers have filled the gap, but with inconsistent pricing structures and infrastructure that wasn’t built for production workloads.

Atlas Cloud’s Seedance 2.0 API is built for teams that need to ship — predictable billing, stable infrastructure, and access that works from day one.

Two Models, One Platform

Atlas Cloud offers two versions of Seedance 2.0, each suited to different production needs:

Seedance 2.0 — $0.127/second

The full-power model. Supports text-to-video, image-to-video, and reference video generation. Native audio output included. Best for commercial deliverables, brand campaigns, and any content where output quality is the priority.

Seedance 2.0 Fast — $0.101/second

Built for speed and volume. Supports the same three generation modes with native audio. Best for prototyping, high-volume pipelines, and workflows where iteration speed matters more than maximum fidelity.

Both models use true per-second billing — you pay for the video you generate, nothing more. Official access routes typically involve complex token-based pricing formulas that make cost estimation difficult at scale. Atlas Cloud’s per-second rate is straightforward: know your clip length, know your cost.

Failed generations are never billed.

What the Model Can Do

Seedance 2.0’s core strength is control. Its Universal Reference system accepts up to 12 input files simultaneously — images, video clips, and audio — each bound to a specific element of the generated output. A character’s appearance, a product’s texture, a camera movement, and a scene’s lighting can all be locked independently in a single generation pass.

Key specifications:

Resolution: Up to 1080pDuration: Up to 15 seconds per clipAudio: Native audio-visual generation, phoneme-level lip sync across 8+ languagesReference inputs: Up to 12 files simultaneously (images, video, audio)Usable output rate: ~90%, versus an industry average of ~20%Generation modes: Text-to-video, image-to-video, reference video

The model also supports photorealistic virtual faces powered by Seedance 2.0 and hyper-realistic digital human faces powered by Seedance 2.0 — making it viable for spokesperson content, lifestyle campaigns, and brand storytelling at scale.

In Practice: Audio-Visual Sync and Beat Matching

One of Seedance 2.0’s most production-ready capabilities is native audio-visual synchronization. The model generates video motion and audio in a single pass — camera cuts, character movement, and scene transitions align to an audio track’s tempo without any manual editing in post.

The video below shows this built directly on Atlas Cloud’s API. A music track is passed as an audio reference input. Seedance 2.0 analyzes the beat structure and generates matched visual motion — all through a single API call.

For content studios and social media teams, this removes one of the most time-consuming steps in short-form production. A campaign that previously required a video editor to manually sync cuts to a track can now be generated programmatically, at scale, with consistent timing across hundreds of variations.

The 90% Usability Advantage

Seedance 2.0’s usable output rate runs around 90%. Industry average is closer to 20%. That gap matters more than it sounds.

A pipeline generating 1,000 usable clips monthly needs roughly 1,100 API calls on Atlas Cloud. On a platform averaging 20% usability, the same output requires over 5,000 calls. The effective cost-per-usable-clip on Atlas Cloud is dramatically lower — even before pricing differences are factored in.

Enterprise Infrastructure

Atlas Cloud is SOC 2 Type II certified and HIPAA compliant, with a 99.99% uptime SLA. No queue times. Unlimited concurrency.

New accounts receive a 20% bonus on first deposit, up to $100.
