Veho Now Reaches 1 in 2 Americans With Bay Area Launch

Published

on

Live in Oakland, San Francisco, Sacramento, and San Jose, Veho now spans 78 markets and more than half the U.S. population.

NEW YORK, June 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Veho, the last-mile delivery platform built for e-commerce, today expanded across Oakland, San Francisco, Sacramento, and San Jose, bringing its network to 78 markets and 52% of the U.S. population. For the first time, 1 in 2 Americans can receive a package through Veho’s network.

Over the last year, Veho added 28 markets, a 56% increase in its national footprint. Recent additions include Minneapolis, MN; Norfolk, VA; Memphis, TN; Birmingham, AL; Fort Myers, FL; Kansas City, MO.

Growth at that pace usually comes at the cost of quality. Across the expansion, Veho held a 99% on-time delivery rate and a 4.9 out of 5 customer satisfaction score.

For shoppers, it means the same experience in Sacramento as in Boston: real-time tracking, and packages that arrive when promised.

“Great delivery shouldn’t depend on your zip code,” said Albert Silva, Senior Vice President of Commercial Logistics and Expansion at Veho. “Crossing half the U.S. population means millions more shoppers get the same standard, no matter where they live.”

Veho’s recently launched Ground Plus Suite, powered by Maestro AI by Veho™, gives brands five delivery speeds to choose from, so each brand can personalize delivery to fit its customers. Behind it, Maestro optimizes package routing to keep the delivery promise, bringing the same standard to the Bay Area.

Veho’s network now reaches half the country. The rest is next.

Hoymiles Launches 22 kW V2X DC Charger to Complete Its Integrated Home Energy Ecosystem

Published

on

By

HANGZHOU, China, Sept. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Hoymiles has launched the V2X DC Charger that works seamlessly with the HiOne All-in-One BESS, extending its home energy ecosystem into electric mobility. This allows solar, battery storage, EVs and the grid to work as one integrated energy system, giving homeowners greater control over how they generate, store and use energy.

Turning EVs into Flexible Energy Resources

The V2X DC Charger is equipped with bi-directional charging capabilities, allowing an EV to become an active additional energy resource for the home. It can provide backup power when the grid is unavailable through Vehicle-to-Home (V2H), while enabling households to participate in peak shaving and virtual power plant (VPP) dispatch via Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G).

Furthermore, it is built with an integrated EU MID-certified meter which provides accurate energy measurement for reliable monitoring and energy management.

Efficient Charging Guaranteed

Unlike an AC-coupled charger that requires the vehicle’s OBC for DC/AC conversion, the Hoymiles V2X charger enables direct DC charging from PV and battery storage to the EV. This bypasses OBC and eliminates unnecessary AC/DC conversion, thus reducing energy losses during charging.

With up to 22 kW of DC charging power, the V2X DC Charger significantly cuts charging time compared with traditional AC charging. In one hour, a conventional AC charger can add approximately 35 km of driving range, while Hoymiles’ V2X can deliver approximately 110 km.

Hoymiles V2X is designed for broad compatibility as it supports 95% of mainstream EVs.

Flexible Installation, Built for Everyday Use

Designed as a standalone charger, the V2X can be flexibly installed, such as beside the parking space, giving homeowners greater freedom to position the HiOne All-in-One BESS where it best fits their home energy setup.

The charger features IP65 protection and IK10 impact protection, ensuring durability for outdoor use and protection against accidental impacts.

One App for the Entire Energy Ecosystem

The V2X is managed through the same app-based ecosystem as Hoymiles’ home energy solutions, giving users a unified view and control of their energy system. Users can choose from green power mode and fast charging mode for different scenarios.

With the addition of the V2X DC Charger, Hoymiles continues to expand its integrated home energy ecosystem—connecting solar generation, energy storage, energy management and electric mobility to help households generate, store, use and share energy more intelligently.

AI can write news — where does that leave traditional media?

Published

on

By

SHENZHEN, China, Sept. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ —  A news report from Shenzhen Daily:

For years, conversations about media transformation centered on platforms, distribution channels and traffic. Artificial intelligence has changed the terms of that debate. It can generate content faster and at lower cost, translate it into multiple languages, and adapt it for different platforms in seconds.

For traditional news organizations, the question is no longer whether AI will enter the newsroom. It is where human journalists can continue to create irreplaceable value — and how they can actively reshape their work.

That question was put to media professionals attending the Asia-Pacific Media Forum, which opened in Shenzhen, Guangdong, China on Sept. 5 under the theme “Building a Path to Shared Prosperity for the Asia-Pacific Community: Media Consensus and Action.” More than 400 representatives from over 40 countries and regions, as well as U.N. agencies and international organizations, attended the event.

Their answers revealed neither blind optimism nor simple fear.

Zahir Shah Sherazi, head of BOL News in Pakistan, acknowledged that AI can drive innovation and make reporting easier, but stressed that it cannot genuinely tell audiences what is happening without journalists on the ground.

“You still need physical presence to put in emotions,…Machines cannot replace humans,” he said. Rather than fearing the technology, he believes journalists should receive training and become well versed in AI-assisted reporting.

Donovan Ralph Martin, CEO and editor-in-chief of Canadian outlet The Daily Scrum News, described himself as a strong advocate for AI. News organizations that fail to use the technology, he warned, risk being left behind.

Yet enthusiasm must come with a clear understanding of AI’s limitations. It “is as good as the people using it,” Martin said, adding that human interaction will remain essential to journalism.

AI may accelerate production, but it cannot independently decide which questions matter, recognize what is left unsaid, or take responsibility for the consequences of publication.

Adaptation, according to Muhammad Ashraf, editor-in-chief of Pakistan’s Daily Mashriq Lahore, is no longer optional.

“Change is the only permanent thing in the world,” Ashraf said. “So accept the challenge of change, and go with it.”

That requires more than purchasing new tools. Journalists must learn about AI, adopt it and keep pace with its development. Newsrooms also need to help reporters understand how the technology works, where it can fail and when its output must be questioned — without handing over their editorial judgment.

Nang Calyar Win, CEO of Myanmar’s Asian Fame Media Group, offered a useful metaphor: “AI is like a reflection of everybody.”

She said that a knowledgeable user can obtain stronger results, while limited knowledge and weak instructions can produce weak output.

“The AI depends on the user,” Win said. The smarter the tool becomes, the more capable the journalist using it must be.

In an environment flooded with synthetic content, the value of professional media may increasingly lie in verified facts, first-hand observation, cultural understanding and accountability.

The real choice, then, is not between humans and machines. It is between journalism that uses AI responsibly and content production that allows automation to operate without judgment.

As the forum’s theme suggests, consensus must lead to action. Newsrooms should share technology and experience, establish clear verification standards, and train journalists to use AI without surrendering the human qualities on which trust depends.

To counter the challenge, Shenzhen Daily and Daily Kasoti, a Pakistani media outlet, quickly signed a memorandum of understanding on content production cooperation less than 24 hours on Sept. 4, ahead of the Asia-Pacific Media Forum.

The Shenzhen’s daily English newspaper and information platform have leveraged the forum to reach several agreements with media outlets from Canada, Pakistan, Russia and Myanmar.

KuCoin Launches KCUSD to Unlock Greater Capital Efficiency for Stablecoin Holders

Published

on

By

PROVIDENCIALES, Turks and Caicos Islands, Sept. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — KuCoin, a leading global crypto platform built on trust, today announced the launch of KCUSD, an Earn product with daily yields supported by real-world assets, designed to turn idle stablecoin balances into productive capital. Available to eligible retail, high-net-worth and institutional users, KCUSD will initially support subscriptions from as little as 1 USDT, USDC or USDG, with no subscription fee and same-asset redemption options. KCUSD will launch with a dynamic base APR of up to 4% and allow users to begin earning simply by holding KCUSD. Returns will be credited daily and automatically added to users’ KCUSD balances, enabling daily compounding without manual reinvestment. By combining its current yield-generating capabilities with planned future collateral utility, KCUSD aims to improve capital efficiency and advance yield-bearing assets as a core component of crypto market infrastructure. Eligible users who participate with qualifying new funds during the initial launch period may receive a promotional APR of up to 6%.

Stablecoins underpin much of the liquidity in digital asset markets, yet substantial balances remain idle in trading accounts to meet margin requirements or capture time-sensitive opportunities. Allocating those assets to traditional staking or standalone Earn products can interrupt their trading utility, while keeping them immediately available often means forgoing potential yield. This inefficiency is particularly significant for institutions, market makers, professional trading firms and high-net-worth users that maintain large stablecoin balances over extended periods. KCUSD initially addresses the yield side of this challenge through a straightforward hold-to-earn model, while its planned future integration as margin is intended to further reduce the trade-off between earning returns and retaining trading utility.

“Digital asset markets are entering a new phase in which infrastructure will be measured not only by the access and liquidity it provides, but by how efficiently capital can be deployed across an always-on financial system,” said BC Wong, CEO of KuCoin. “Our long-term view is that yield, liquidity and risk utility should not remain in separate silos. KCUSD begins by helping users put idle balances to work and is designed to evolve toward broader trading utility. This reflects our vision for a more efficient market architecture that gives institutions and individual users greater flexibility in how they participate in global digital markets.”

KCUSD is expected to become an infrastructure layer connecting liquidity, asset productivity and risk management across the KuCoin ecosystem. Beginning with yield generation and progressively expanding toward collateral and trading utility, KCUSD reflects a broader evolution in digital finance: stablecoins are shifting from passive settlement assets and idle reserves into productive capital that can support multiple functions across 24/7 markets. By building trusted infrastructure around this transition, KuCoin aims to make capital efficiency a native feature of the digital asset ecosystem and help establish a more integrated foundation for the next generation of global financial markets.
