HÄMEENLINNA, Finland, Aug. 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Kamux, an omni-channel company specialized in preowned cars and related integrated services, and Secto Automotive have today agreed on a long-term cooperation concerning leased vehicles returning to Secto Automotive and services to Kamux’s B2B customers. Going forward, Kamux is Secto Automotive’s partner for returned leasing vehicles and will sell to its customers the approximately 3,500 vehicles that are returned annually to Secto Automotive. In addition, Secto Automotive will be the leasing partner for Kamux’s B2B customers for relatively new passenger cars and commercial vehicles. The companies have also agreed on a transfer of business, in which Secto Automotive’s two showrooms selling used cars and their personnel will be transferred to Kamux. The completion of the arrangement is subject to approval by the Finnish Competition and Consumer Authority.

Secto Automotive is a Finnish-owned entrepreneur-led B2B car leasing operator founded in 2007, which is a pioneer in low-emission driving in Finland. The annual revenue of Secto Automotive’s used car business in 2023 was approx. EUR 78 million and it has 14 employees who will transfer to Kamux as old employees. Secto Automotive’s used car showrooms that will be transferred to Kamux are located in Espoo and Vantaa, Finland. The business will become part of Kamux Finland.

Tapio Pajuharju, CEO of Kamux Corporation: “Centralized sourcing of cars in larger batches is an important part of improving our operational efficiency which is at the core of our strategy, and visibility into the returning fleet improves forecasting. The cooperation agreement signed with Secto Automotive is an excellent example of the concrete actions that we are taking to achieve our long-term targets.”

Jani Koivu, Managing Director of Kamux Finland: “A warm welcome to Secto’s sales staff – the addition of two showrooms and capable staff will further improve our position in the greater Helsinki area. With the agreement that we’ve just signed, we will get approx. 3,500 relatively new and regularly serviced cars for sale every year, allowing us to offer our customers an even more comprehensive range of low-emission cars that are interesting to Finns and suitable for Finnish conditions. In addition, the leasing cooperation is a great addition to our service offering and I am sure that it is of great interest to many of our B2B customers.”

Matias Henkola, Chairman of the Board of Secto Automotive: “In line with our updated strategy, we will focus on serving both small and large B2B customers in the future. We gave up the private leasing service a year ago and now we have entered into a strategic partnership in resale of returned vehicles with Kamux, the market leader and pioneer in the used car business. In the current strategy period, our goal is to become the market leader in outsourcing services for company cars. We are now number three and constantly increasing our market share.”

NANNING, China, April 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — This is a report from china-asean-media.com.

The 14-day “2026 Vietnam-China Cross-Border Tourism AI Empowerment Cooperation and Exchange Program” successfully concluded on April 19 in Nanning, Guangxi. Co-hosted by the Department of Culture and Tourism of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region (China) and the Departments of Culture, Sports, and Tourism of Quang Ninh, Lang Son, Cao Bang, and Tuyen Quang provinces (Vietnam), the event brought together nearly 30 tourism officials and industry representatives from the four Vietnamese localities.

With the theme “Vietnam-China AI + Cross-Border Tourism Exchange and Cooperation,” the program combined expert lectures, case studies on AI applications, and field visits. Participants gained insights into ASEAN-China tourism policies, AI-driven cross-border cooperation models, and smart tourism technologies. Hands-on training enabled them to use AI tools for decision-making, product development, and destination branding.

The delegation conducted field studies in Nanning, Liuzhou, Guilin, and Hechi. They visited the China-ASEAN AI Innovation and Cooperation Center, the “Easy Visit Guangxi” platform, the No. Wang Cultural Industrial Park, and the BAO JUN base, experiencing Guangxi’s smart, industrial, landscape, and wellness tourism offerings.

A meaningful part of the program was retracing President Ho Chi Minh’s revolutionary footsteps in Guangxi, including visits to the former site of Yucai School in Nanning, the former residence of Ho Chi Minh in Liuzhou, and the “September 2” School site in Guilin. On April 17, all participants attended the launch ceremony of the 2026 Vietnam-China Border People’s Carnival in Nanning, witnessing the deep friendship and mutual support between the border communities of both nations.

At the closing ceremony on April 18, a cross-border tourism product design competition was held. The team from Quang Ninh won the Best Design Award, while teams from Lang Son, Cao Bang, and Tuyen Quang received Excellence Awards. Mr. Lưu Bá Mạc, Vice Director of Lang Son’s Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism, praised the program for fostering practical cooperation and opening new directions for the “comrades and brothers” friendship between local authorities.

The program not only provided Vietnamese tourism professionals with valuable knowledge in AI and smart tourism but also laid a solid foundation for future cooperation in building shared tourism information platforms, developing smart products, and enhancing data connectivity. Both sides reaffirmed their commitment to advancing high-quality development of the cultural and tourism industry through AI, contributing to the strategic Vietnam-China community with a shared future.

By

LAHORE, Pakistan, April 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — TCL Solar made a strong impact at this year’s Solar Pakistan exhibition (17th-19th April, at Expo Centre Lahore) by unveiling a range of advanced solar solutions designed to meet the growing demand for low-carbon energy in South Asia and the Middle East.

The new T5 Pro solar module represents a major leap in N-type TOPCon technology, delivering breakthroughs in both conversion efficiency and power output. It is designed to be the new flagship product in the industry, offering enhanced performance and long-term value.

Key Highlights of the T5 Pro:

A unique product design: The T5 Pro specificity remains in its design architecture, with an overlapping tri-cut cell construction. This innovative structure significantly boosts the module’s performance, ensuring superior output and higher energy yield.

Product Reliability: The T5 Pro’s low-current technology ensures precise temperature control, with hotspot temperatures up to 45°C lower than conventional modules. This reduces the risk of fire hazards and improves overall module longevity. The module has also passed rigorous reliability tests, making it ideal for diverse applications, including commercial rooftops and ground-mounted power stations.

Customer Value: By enhancing energy generation and reducing project lifecycle costs, the T5 Pro provides a high return on investment for both residential and commercial solar applications.

TCL Solar’s Lightweight Module: Optimized for C&I Rooftops

TCL Solar’s Lightweight Module addresses the specific challenges faced by commercial and industrial (C&I) rooftops, particularly in areas with limited load-bearing capacity.

Improved Power Output: Weighing only 5.4 kg/m², these modules generate 3-6% more power compared to traditional TOPCon modules, offering a highly efficient solution for weight-sensitive environments.

Superior Heat Dissipation: The ultra-thin glass design enhances heat dissipation, lowers operating temperatures and reduces overall weight and making the modules ideal for aging rooftops or structures with limited structural integrity.

Building on the momentum at Solar Pakistan 2026, TCL SOLAR and TAIMOOR TRADING CO. have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), marking a key step in advancing solar energy solutions. This partnership aims to expand clean power access and drive sustainable development across Pakistan and beyond, with a shared focus on innovation and a low-carbon future.

Focusing on innovation, efficiency, and reduced environmental impact, TCL Solar continues to lead the way in solar technology in Pakistan and across the region, providing solutions that meet today’s energy needs while enabling measurable emissions reductions across the energy value chain.

As Pakistan embraces renewable energy, TCL Solar’s cutting-edge technologies will help drive the growth of low-carbon energy in South Asia and the Middle East.
