KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia and WUHU, China, April 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — On April 26, 2026, OMODA&JAECOO hosted the grand “From Million To Annual Million Launch Event and OMODA 4 Roll-off Ceremony”. As the flagship model for the brand’s Globalization 2.0 strategy, the official start of mass production for the OMODA 4 not only marks a milestone in the brand’s three-year journey to 1 million cumulative sales but also represents the launch of the core product powering the brand’s sprint to its 2027 sales target of annual million units. This event aligns with the Chery International Business Summit (IBS), together mapping a new blueprint for the brand’s global growth.

As a flagship model for the youth market and global layout, OMODA 4 precisely targets the “Cyber LOHAS tribe”. Grounded in deep insights into the consumption habits and lifestyles of young consumers, OMODA 4 adopts “Cyber Mecha”as its core positioning, building core product competitiveness in hyper-function, hyper-intelligence, and hyper-energy, serving as a key lever for the brand to capture the global youth market.

Hyper-Functional Design: CYBER MECHA Aesthetics Forge an Exclusive Visual Identity

OMODA 4 breaks away from conventional design logic with its class-exclusive Cyber Mecha supercar styling, forging a futuristic visual identity. The Cyber Lightning Headlights mimic the transient form of a lightning strike, using sharp lines and high-contrast light strips to create a highly recognizable design signature. The mecha-inspired light-flow body borrows from the structural elements of mecha armor, using sharp edges and geometric facets to generate 3D light and shadow effects beyond classic streamlined styling.

The interior features a starship-themed cockpit with a wraparound layout for an immersive mecha-command experience. Paired with a Lamborghini-style F1 supercar flip-start button, every departure is imbued with a sense of ceremony. Meanwhile, the model achieves the optimal drag coefficient within its stylistic class, balancing design with aerodynamic performance. A diverse palette of body colors caters to the individualized tastes of young users, making OMODA 4 a “mobile social card” for self-expression.

Ultra-Smart Features: A Class Benchmark Delivering a Warm Tech Experience

In terms of intelligent features, OMODA 4 leverages class-leading hardware and software capabilities to deliver a smart experience that integrates technology with a human touch, upgrading from “easy to use” to “intuitive”. Equipped with best-in-class hardware, it has 16 ADAS driver-assist features for easy driving and parking, greatly lowering driving barrier to driving and making every journey safer and more convenient.

The AI powered super voice assistant, built on a large language model, will soon be available in the vehicle. In the future, this technology is expected to support diverse function such as voice cloning and mood-based music recommendations, with the aim of accurately sensing the user’s emotional needs and delivering a personalized interactive experience. Additionally, features such as a 13.2-inch ultra-clear central screen, a 540° panoramic image, and 50W wireless charging and other features enrich smart car scenarios, fully addressing the tech demands of today’s youth.

High-Energy Ecosystem: An All-Scenario Setup Tailored to a Diverse Youth Lifestyle

To match young users’digital–physical lifestyle, OMODA 4 builds the best-in-class hyper-energy trendy ecosystem, redefining car scenarios and value as a connector of passion and life. As a mobile esports cockpit, the in-car system comes pre-loaded with over 20 casual and competitive games, supports wireless gamepad connection, turning waiting time into fun gaming moments anytime, anywhere. Building on this, OMODA 4 further expands the boundaries of in-car scenarios, creating a full-scene ecosystem that encompasses pet-friendly features, karaoke, camping, and multimedia entertainment. It is designed to fully accommodate the diverse lifestyle needs of young users and carry all their passions.

OMODA 4 will also launch an Ultra version, which offers class-exclusive factory performance modifications to deliver an exhilarating “supercar-like” experience for driving enthusiasts. The professional sports kit fully optimizes aerodynamics and body stance, boosting visual impact and high-speed stability. A launch control function unleashes peak torque at start for thrilling pushback, the tuned exclusive sports sound ignites drivers’ hearing on every acceleration. Professional sport tuning extends to the suspension, steering, and power response, resulting in more precise and sharper handling overall.

The official mass production rollout of the OMODA 4 represents a critical step in the execution of OMODA & JAECOO’s “New Million Strategy” and is a key component of the brand’s Globalization 2.0 blueprint. With strong tech heritage and a global innovation system, OMODA&JAECOO takes the OMODA 4 as its core model, paired with smart tech like the AiMOGA robot Mornine, to precisely target the global youth market. This shows the brand’s deep understanding of young users and strong R&D capabilities, as well as its commitment and breakthroughs in smart technology. Moving forward, the market launch of the OMODA 4 will further strengthen the brand’s position in the youth market and drive its premium and youthful evolution on the global stage.

Helping Irish savers better understand investment products, Broadridge is developing innovative language simplification technology

DUBLIN, April 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc (NYSE: BR) today announced plans to support groundbreaking work in financial literacy in Ireland. Supported by IDA Ireland, the project will enable Broadridge to explore how artificial intelligence can be used to simplify the language in financial disclosures and make investment products more accessible to Irish retail investors.

“Ireland is a leading international centre for innovation in financial technology,” said Denis Curran, Head of International Financial Services, Emerging Business and Engineering & Green Economy at IDA Ireland. “We are delighted to support Broadridge in its mission to enhance financial literacy through the power of artificial intelligence. I wish the team at Broadridge every success with this innovative project.”

This collaboration addresses a critical challenge facing Ireland’s financial services sector. While Ireland hosts over €5 trillion in fund assets and is Europe’s ETF powerhouse, retail investor participation remains low. Research shows that dense, jargon-heavy disclosures create a significant barrier, with only 18% of EU citizens demonstrating high financial literacy according to the European Commission’s 2023 Eurobarometer Survey.

“This partnership with IDA Ireland positions Broadridge at the centre of a national initiative to leverage technology to make sophisticated investment products genuinely accessible to retail investors,” said Stephen Johnston, Senior Country Officer, Ireland, at Broadridge. “We’ve analysed investment disclosures from the 50 largest UK asset managers and found that nearly half were written at an academic level that would be difficult for most retail investors to understand. Across Europe, around €14 trillion sits in household savings accounts. At a time when purchasing power is eroding due to inflation, too many of these savers lack clarity and confidence in how best to realise their investment potential. By applying AI to create plain-language communications while maintaining regulatory compliance and accuracy, we can measurably boost engagement and help move Irish savers from deposit accounts into long-term investments that can support their financial futures.”

Broadridge’s research project will investigate how AI-driven plain-English communications can transform complex fund documentation into clear and simple information that empowers everyday Irish savers to make informed investment decisions. The initiative aligns with both the European Commission’s Financial Literacy Strategy and regulatory efforts such as the UK FCA’s Consumer Composite Investment framework to deliver simplified, user-friendly disclosures.

Broadridge’s Dublin team supports clients across Ireland’s financial services community, delivering a broad range of technology and operational solutions. With dedicated Dublin-based regulatory expertise, the team partners with leading global asset managers and fund administrators to navigate complex requirements, including PRIIPs, MiFID, Solvency II and the evolving UK–EU regulatory landscape.

Results from the study will be shared with industry stakeholders and regulators to inform best practices.

Commenting on product adoption, Shripriya Khaitan Dhelia, Co-Founder, Fabpad, said, “Our focus has always been on solving for real, everyday use. This isn’t a one-time purchase decision—it’s something customers evaluate every single month. That’s where trust gets built. If the product performs consistently, it earns credibility over time, and that’s what ultimately drives repeat usage and growth.”
