From the Pitch to the Road – LEPAS L8 PHEV Redefines Elegant Mobility

WUHU, China, July 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — LEPAS, the mid-to-premium NEV brand under Chery Auto, has introduced the LEPAS L8 PHEV to global markets, bringing a new interpretation of elegant mobility through advanced hybrid technology, intelligent driving, and refined design. Inspired by the composure, precision, and resilience demonstrated by champions on the global football stage, the LEPAS L8 PHEV combines the brand’s signature “Leopard Aesthetics” design philosophy with the LEPAS Super Hybrid system, offering confident performance, extended range, and a sophisticated driving experience for consumers seeking intelligent and elegant mobility solutions worldwide.

Beyond victory and defeat, both teams embodied the champion’s spirit – a fusion of composure and resilience. This resonates with the core values of the upcoming LEPAS L8 PHEV, a model poised to make its mark on the global NEV stage with all-around strength.

Leopard Aesthetics – Where Strength Meets Elegance

Throughout the final, Spain’s fluid passing and movement, contrasted with Argentina’s tenacious and resilient resistance, presented a compelling balance of power and elegance. This echoed perfectly with LEPAS’s signature “Leopard Aesthetics” design philosophy. The LEPAS L8 PHEV draws inspiration from the leopard’s stretched, agile stride, striking a balance between untamed power and understated sophistication. It mirrors the two finalists – one commanding the game with fluid rhythm, the other holding their ground with resilience. Leopard Aesthetics embodies the coexistence of strength and sophistication, creating a design language that is confident and elegant.

The Leopard Avant-Garde Front Face, paired with Leopard Dynamic Shoulder Line, conceals a sharp tension beneath its smooth contours. The Leopard Silhouette Through-Type LED Taillight, when illuminated, streaks across the night like a leopard’s fleeting shadow, creating a interplay of motion and stillness. Customized paint finishes, such as Norwegian Forest Green and Provence Purple, are crafted through a seven-layer painting process to achieve a refined, understated texture with a recognizable visual identity. This design language – both fluid and powerful – ensures the vehicle stands out with an elegant character, whether navigating city streets or open roads.

LEPAS L8 PHEV

The interior continues this philosophy of strength and elegance. A class-leading 2800mm wheelbase creates an airy, spacious, wraparound cabin, where flowing lines soften the cold precision of modern engineering. An active fragrance system, AQS air quality monitoring, UV-blocking and heat-insulating glass, cloud-comfort lounge seats, and a theater-class serene cabin work together to create a refined sanctuary from the outside world. Together, they bring the composed and relaxing travel experience, bringing the same sense of confidence and comfort found in championship performance to every journey.

LEPAS Super Hybrid – Confidence Across Every Journey

On the pitch, championship team proved that success comes not from a single style, but from the ability to adapt. Whether controlling the rhythm of the game or responding calmly under pressure, true champions remain composed in every situation. This is the philosophy behind the LEPAS L8 PHEV, delivering confident, well-balanced performance across every driving scenario.

LEPAS L8 PHEV

The LEPAS L8 PHEV is powered by the LEPAS Super Hybrid system, featuring a dedicated hybrid engine with an industry-leading thermal efficiency of 45.79% and a dedicated hybrid transmission with 97.6% transmission efficiency. It achieves an ultra-low comprehensive fuel consumption of just 2.38L/100 km and a comprehensive range of up to 1,300 kilometers under NEDC conditions. Paired with 40kW DC fast charging, the battery can be replenished from 30% to 80% while you enjoy a cup of coffee. Whether navigating urban commutes, business trips, or long-distance journeys, it adapts seamlessly to every scenario, easing range anxiety and delivering a confident driving experience.

Comprehensive Safety and Intelligent Protection – A Solid Defense with Agile Response

“Attack wins you games, but defense wins you championships.” Throughout this tournament, Spain’s defense was impregnable, conceding just one goal across the entire competition, while Argentina’s multi-layered defensive network was equally among the strongest on display. Both teams fully demonstrated the art of defense – and this is precisely the philosophy behind how the LEPAS L8 PHEV safeguards its users’ elegant journeys.

LEPAS L8 PHEV

The LEPAS L8 PHEV features a cage-style body constructed with a high proportion of high-strength steel, equipped with up to 10 airbags to ensure the cabin integrity during a collision and provide comprehensive protection for every occupant.

The power battery incorporates triple battery safety protection with IP68/IPX9K ratings that effectively prevent water and dust ingress. This enables the vehicle to confidently handle complex road conditions such as flooded streets and unpaved surfaces, building a solid safety foundation for every journey.

On the intelligent front, the LEPAS L8 PHEV is equipped with a Level 2 ADAS (Intelligent Driving Assistance System), integrating a 540° panoramic transparent imaging, APA/RPA automatic parking, and over twenty functions including forward collision warning, lane keeping assist, and rear cross traffic braking. These technologies ensure driving safety and convenience, much like a steadfast defense on the pitch, guarding every journey from start to finish.

Every championship leaves behind more than a result. The young Spanish squad perfectly demonstrated how composure and teamwork can command the game, while the Argentine side showed unwavering determination, with Messi’s relentless drive under pressure standing as a testament to passion and resilience. As the final whistle fades, the journey continues. With the upcoming LEPAS L8 PHEV, LEPAS remains committed to bringing elegant mobility to every road ahead.

LONDON, July 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — EBC Financial Group (“EBC”) has launched TradingView Professional Charts across its trading ecosystem, giving clients access to one of the world’s most widely used charting and market analysis platforms.

“Access to professional-grade charting tools can significantly improve how traders interpret market conditions and manage risk,” said Lewis Tang, Brand Director at EBC Financial Group.

These capabilities help traders analyse market movements more efficiently, identify opportunities with greater precision, and make more informed decisions across asset classes and market conditions.”

By combining TradingView’s professional charting environment with EBC’s institutional-grade execution infrastructure, the Group aims to make advanced market analysis more accessible to traders worldwide.

Bridging Professional Market Analysis Closer to Everyday Traders

Technical analysis has become a central component of modern trading strategies, yet access to advanced charting tools often remains limited by subscription costs or platform complexity.

Through the launch, eligible EBC clients can access TradingView premium charting features and advanced analytical tools, allowing them to monitor markets with greater precision and efficiency.

  • Advanced multi-chart layouts for monitoring multiple markets simultaneously
  • Professional technical indicators and custom analytical tools

Through its proprietary Smart Order Routing Engine, EBC supports price improvement across client orders, with more than 87.6% of trades executed at a better price than requested.

Clients also benefit from raw ECN spreads from 0.0 pips, liquidity sourced from more than 25 leading investment banks and hedge funds, and 24/7 VIP multilingual support.

The integration enables traders to combine advanced charting and market analysis with institutional-level execution quality through a single trading ecosystem.

“The modern trader needs more than access to markets. They need access to professional tools, reliable execution, and the confidence that their trading infrastructure can keep pace with increasingly complex market conditions,” – said Lewis.

“TradingView has become one of the most trusted charting platforms in the industry. By bringing these capabilities into the EBC ecosystem, we are making sophisticated market analysis more accessible while helping traders operate with greater efficiency, transparency, and control.”

Cambodia Receives Institutional Capability Development Plan to Strengthen NPCC and Advance Productivity-led Growth

The APO-supported roadmap aims to help Cambodia’s national productivity institution become more capable, evidence driven, future ready, and implementation focused

Cambodia ICDP handover

APO Secretary-General Dr. Indra Pradana Singawinata (left) presents the Institutional Capability Development Plan for the National Productivity Centre of Cambodia to H.E. Hem Vanndy, Minister of Industry, Science, Technology and Innovation of Cambodia, in Phnom Penh on 22 July 2026.

PHNOM PENH, Cambodia, July 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The Royal Government of Cambodia received the Institutional Capability Development Plan for the National Productivity Centre of Cambodia during an official handover ceremony at the Ministry of Industry, Science, Technology and Innovation (MISTI) in Phnom Penh on 22 July 2026. The report was formally handed over by the Secretary-General of the Asian Productivity Organization (APO), Dr. Indra Pradana Singawinata, to the Minister of Industry, Science, Technology and Innovation, H.E. Hem Vanndy.

Developed with APO support, the Institutional Capability Development Plan (ICDP) provides a structured pathway for strengthening the institutional capability of the National Productivity Centre of Cambodia (NPCC), Cambodia’s national productivity institution. It builds on Cambodia’s long-standing engagement with the APO and the APO-supported National Productivity Master Plan developed in 2018, moving beyond national productivity strategy development to institutional capability building for implementation.

The handover comes at an important moment for Cambodia as the country prepares to graduate from least developed country status in 2029 and seeks to sustain competitiveness through productivity, innovation, digital transformation, green growth, industrial upgrading, and economic resilience. In this context, a stronger NPCC will be essential to translate national productivity priorities into practical services, measurable results, and sustained improvements for enterprises, public institutions, and other stakeholders.

The ICDP was informed by a diagnostic assessment, stakeholder consultations, and institutional analysis. It recognizes the foundation that the NPCC has built through productivity promotion, capacity building, the 5S Award, enterprise-oriented initiatives, and APO-related programs while identifying the next level of institutional strengthening required for the NPCC to deliver greater impact.

“The true value of this development plan will depend on implementation. With sustained leadership from MISTI, strong ownership by the NPCC, adequate human and financial resources, effective partnerships, and disciplined monitoring of progress, the NPCC can further strengthen its role as Cambodia’s national productivity institution and make a deeper contribution to the country’s long-term competitiveness, innovation, and prosperity,” said APO Secretary-General Dr. Indra.

In his remarks, H.E. Hem Vanndy emphasized that the ICDP would strengthen Cambodia’s productivity ecosystem by enhancing the NPCC’s institutional capacity and its ability to support government agencies, enterprises, and factories in improving productivity, product quality, and operational efficiency.

Um Serivuth, Director of the NPCC, noted that the ICDP would provide the NPCC with a clearer pathway for strengthening its institutional systems, services, partnerships, and results-oriented approach to productivity improvement across Cambodia.

The development plan sets out three mutually reinforcing reform categories: strengthening institutional and governance foundations; strengthening organizational systems and human capabilities; and enhancing service effectiveness, stakeholder engagement, and results-based management. These categories are supported by 10 reform actions and a three-year capability pathway designed to support the NPCC’s evolution into a more capable, trusted, evidence-driven, and future-ready national productivity institution.

The report also emphasizes that productivity improvement cannot be achieved through activity expansion alone. It calls for clearer institutional purpose, stronger governance and management systems, a more demand-responsive service model, deeper technical capabilities, more strategic partnerships, and a shift from measuring activities to demonstrating productivity results.

Through the ICDP, the NPCC is expected to strengthen its ability to support firms and public institutions in identifying productivity constraints, adopting practical solutions, improving service quality, and using evidence to guide continuous improvement. The plan is also intended to position the NPCC to respond to emerging priorities such as green transformation, digital adoption, industrial upgrading, and enterprise competitiveness.

Dr. Indra expressed appreciation for the leadership and substantive contributions of MISTI, the NPCC, participating ministries, private sector representatives, development partners, and other stakeholders throughout the diagnostic, consultation, validation, and preparation process. He also reaffirmed the APO’s readiness to continue supporting Cambodia through agreed technical cooperation, knowledge exchange, capacity development, and access to regional and international productivity expertise as the development plan moves toward implementation.

The APO looks forward to continued collaboration with MISTI, the NPCC, and Cambodian stakeholders in advancing productivity-led growth and building institutional capabilities that support Cambodia’s long-term development aspirations.

About the ICDP for the NPCC

The Institutional Capability Development Plan for the National Productivity Centre of Cambodia is an APO-supported institutional development publication prepared to guide the strengthening of the NPCC’s mandate, governance, organizational systems, human resources, service delivery model, partnerships, and performance management practices.

About the Asian Productivity Organization

The Asian Productivity Organization is an intergovernmental organization established in 1961 to promote productivity as a key enabler of socioeconomic development and organizational and enterprise growth. The APO supports national productivity organizations, promotes productivity improvement tools and methodologies, conducts research, and disseminates productivity-related knowledge across its 21 members.

Egg Medical Declares New Era in Fluoroscopy Lab Safety Following Joint Consensus Statement

As major medical societies call for mandatory adoption of Enhanced Radiation Protection Devices (ERPDs), the EggNest® Complete system emerges as the definitive solution to protect the entire clinical team

EggNest Complete 2.0

EggNest Complete 2.0 System

MINNEAPOLIS, July 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Egg Medical, a global leader in radiation protection, announced its alignment with the landmark expert consensus statement published in JSCAI. This historic document declares that traditional reliance on heavy lead aprons is no longer an acceptable standard, calling for urgent changes to protect clinical staff. Earlier this year, SCAI launched its ALARA+ initiative to update the interpretations of federal ALARA (As Low as Reasonably Achievable) regulations. With modern ERPDs, what is considered reasonable must evolve.

“For decades, the interventional community has accepted the risks of cancer, cataracts and orthopedic injury as inevitable consequences of an interventional career. I, like many others, paid the toll for wearing heavy, protective lead aprons over the years. These very real and dangerous risks must no longer be ignored,” said Dr. Dean Kereiakes, co-author of the consensus statement and Chairman of The Christ Hospital Heart and Vascular Institute. “This multi-society consensus statement presents a mandate that with the availability of ERPDs such as EggNest Complete, workplace safety is no longer an option, but instead, a moral imperative going forward.”

EggNest Complete 360 Degree Team Wide Safety Solutions
The EggNest Complete, is designed specifically to overcome these traditional barriers:

  • 360 Degree Protection: The system provides integrated 360-degree protection around the table, safeguarding everyone.
  • Zero Workflow Disruption: It integrates directly into the existing table, eliminating floor clutter, and tripping hazards common with rolling shields.
  • Eliminates Construction: EggNest Complete requires no ceiling construction or lab downtime, something unique to Egg Medical. Labs remain fully operational, deploying safety without any clinical interruption and saving the hospital money.
  • Apron-Free Options: EggNest data supports the use of no lead aprons or ultralight lead aprons, depending on the clinician’s personal choice.

Egg Medical delivers a solution that meets ALARA+ standards, helping hospitals protect their most valuable assets—their people.
