XI’AN, China, Sept. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As “Chinamaxxing” continues to capture travelers’ interest in Chinese culture and everyday life, Shaanxi offers its own take on the trend this autumn — Shaanximaxxing. Ancient ginkgo trees are turning gold, forests across the Qinling Mountains are changing colors and seasonal flavors are back on the streets. These are the autumn signs you can’t ignore in Shaanxi.

The first sign comes in gold. At Ancient Guanyin Temple in Xi’an, a ginkgo tree believed to be over 1,400 years old turns a deep gold each autumn, covering the courtyard with fallen leaves. The ginkgo trees around landmarks such as the Small Wild Goose Pagoda are also coming into color. Ancient architecture and seasonal colors meet, making history part of the journey rather than something confined to museums.

Another sign appears in the Qinling Mountains. In Huangbaiyuan, Baoji, red leaves, mountain valleys and clear streams create a layered autumn landscape. Travelers can hike along mountain paths, cycle through the scenery or simply stop for photos as the forests gradually shift from green to gold and red. It offers an easy way to complement a heritage-focused city trip with a more immersive experience in nature.

There are cultural signs too. Autumn brings a series of traditional Chinese festivals, along with customs such as moon-viewing, family reunions and sharing seasonal foods. Lanterns glow along the Xi’an City Wall, while markets, cultural events and local flavors bring a festive atmosphere to the streets. Walking through these scenes offers travelers a closer connection to autumn in Shaanxi.

From millennia of history and golden ginkgo trees to the autumn landscapes of the Qinling Mountains and everyday street life, Shaanximaxxing is not simply about checking off attractions. It is about noticing the signs of the season and following them deeper into the culture and everyday life of Shaanxi.

This autumn, follow the signs you can’t ignore and discover a richer, more layered side of Shaanxi.

SÖDERTÄLJE, Sweden, Sept. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Scania and Prinoth announce long-term partnership to accelerate the electrification of snow groomers. The partnership builds on an existing collaboration around winter operations, and what started with the Husky E-Motion, is now expanding to include the latest addition Leitwolf E-Motion.

Scania has signed a long-term agreement with Italian manufacturer Prinoth, part of the HTI Group (High Technology Industries)The partnership will support the electrification of snow groomer models: Husky E-Motion and Leitwolf E-MotionScania’s Core 800 battery packs will power the Husky E-Motion and the newly introduced Leitwolf E-Motion

Snow groomers operate in demanding environments, requiring high performance, durability, and reliability. Scania will supply its Core 800 battery packs, selected to meet these challenges and delivering robust performance based on years of experience in electrified off-road and industrial applications.

“Collaborating with Prinoth is an exciting challenge for us, as it involves deploying our battery technology in extremely demanding conditions. Snow groomers operate in very low temperatures and steep terrain, moving heavy volumes of snow. This requires batteries that can deliver high power, withstand cold climates, and handle vibrations. We are proud that our technology has been recognised through this long-term agreement,” says Elin Åkerström, Managing Director, Scania Industrial Batteries.

The partnership builds on an existing collaboration between the two companies, that started with Husky E-Motion, the world’s first market-ready fully electric snow groomer, introduced in 2022. Since its launch, the machine has been successfully deployed across multiple markets, including Norway, France, Italy, UK, and the United States. The Core 800 battery has been used in the Husky E-Motion since 2023, demonstrating strong performance, seamless integration, and reliability in demanding winter conditions. The successful collaboration has now evolved into a long-term partnership.

The second machine is the Leitwolf E-Motion, recently introduced by Prinoth. This model is equipped with Scania Core 800 battery packs in top and side orientation, configured to meet higher energy and power requirements, further expanding the electrification of heavy-duty snow grooming operations.

Scania’s Core 800 is a lithium-ion battery pack with an installed energy of 97 kWh and high energy density. Its modular design enables flexible installation and scalability, with systems ranging from 21 kWh up to 624 kWh. The battery features integrated liquid cooling, advanced safety architecture, and a proprietary Battery Management System, ensuring reliable operation, long service life, and optimised performance in harsh environments.

“At Prinoth, we have chosen to continue our collaboration with Scania because of the high quality of their battery systems, which we have tested in some of the most challenging environmental conditions. Scania’s team has contributed deep technical expertise and a strong commitment to meeting our needs, while working together with us to continuously improve our products,” says Roberto Pegoraro, Head of R&D Snow Groomers.

Scania’s industrial battery systems are already used across a wide range of applications, including mining, construction, agriculture, and logistics vehicles, as well as energy storage solutions and airport ground support equipment. The partnership with Prinoth further strengthens Scania’s position as a provider of sustainable electrification solutions for demanding industrial segments.

Cherokee Cablevision has deployed Teleste’s Luminato X32 Edge QAM platform to deliver linear television to multi-dwelling units (MDUs). Supplied through Mega Hertz, the compact platform combines remote management with maintenance-free operation.

TURKU, Finland, Sept. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The North Carolina operator is expanding its fiber network alongside improvements to its cable infrastructure. Television remains part of its offering as the network develops, with X32 now serving its MDU video requirements.

“For our MDU deployments, we wanted a solution that was straightforward to deploy, integrate into our network and manage remotely,” said Lester Brackett, Chief Technology Officer of BalsamWest FiberNet and Cherokee Cablevision. “The Luminato X32 allowed our team to take our IP-delivered video services and efficiently deliver them over the existing coax infrastructure within the property. The flexibility and ease of deployment made it a good fit for this application.”

Luminato X32 converts incoming IP video streams into QAM signals for distribution over a building’s coaxial network. Remote configuration and monitoring allow operators to manage the equipment centrally, bringing visibility and control to video delivery across individual properties.

Luminato X32 combines maintenance-free operation with a compact, fanless design for wall or rack installation. It brings Teleste’s established Luminato broadcast technology to building-level deployments across fiber and HFC networks.

“The move toward fiber does not mean every television service has to become app-based,” said Steve Condra, Senior Vice President of North America Sales for Teleste. “Broadcast can sit alongside broadband and streaming, giving operators different ways to meet a property’s needs. X32 makes that approach practical at the building level, and we are pleased to support Cherokee Cablevision together with Mega Hertz.”
