Product Launch

Amsterdam – September 23, 2026 -- Sungrow brought its all-in-one residential energy storage system, PowerHarbor, to the Benelux market for the first time at a dealer event that drew roughly 150 installers, distribution partners and VPP integrators.

Netherlands' net-metering exit reshapes storage economics

The Dutch government will end net metering on January 1, 2027, raising the value of self-consumption for solar households across the country. Dynamic electricity pricing and grid constraints are pushing installers and homeowners to prioritize when energy is used and stored rather than simply how much is generated.

Barcelona – September 23, 2026 -- LEPAS, the mid-to-premium new energy vehicle brand under Chery Auto, has secured the Best Interior Design Award in the City Car category at the 2026 Torino Automotive Design Award (TADA) for its L6 model, with results announced on Sept. 11, 2026 in Turin, Italy.

Jury judged L6 cabin against 87 competing models

Beijing – September 23, 2026 -- Beijing Tegene Robots Co., Ltd. has introduced a four-model 3D Sorter portfolio for warehouse and parcel operations, with mechanical throughput reaching 40,000 parcels per hour on its highest-capacity unit.

Tegene splits its sorter line into four configurations for distinct operational needs

The portfolio includes the 3D Sorter for standard parcels and multi-destination sorting, rated at up to 24,500 pph and 1,000 chutes. The 3D Sorter M targets high-throughput, multi-layer operations at up to 40,000 pph. The 3D Sorter E handles non-conveyable items, flat parcels, envelopes and complex destination flows, with capacity up to 31,000 pph and 1,500 configurable chutes. The 3D Sorter X is built for modular chute expansion. Tegene notes actual output depends on parcel size, weight, packaging condition, destination count, site layout and induction method.

Newington, New Hampshire – September 23, 2026 -- SIG SAUER unveiled the P385 pistol at its invitation-only SIG NEXT event, claiming a 20 percent or greater reduction in muzzle rise depending on the model variant.

New Recoil System Cuts Muzzle Rise Across Five Model Variants

The P385 integrates a new SIG Recoil Dampening System, a low bore axis, and a precision-cut carbon steel barrel engineered for accuracy. The striker-fired pistol will ship in five configurations -- P385-MACH3D, P385-COMP, P385-FULL, P385-CARRY, and P385-COMPACT -- available in black and coyote brown finishes starting this fall and into early winter.

Gold Coast – – September 23, 2026 -- Carbon Trade eXchange (CTX) has launched CTX Corporate One, an invitation-only trading account that waives its account-opening fee for the first time in the exchange's 18-year history and replaces percentage-based commissions with a flat US$0.10 charge per credit, per side.

The move targets institutional-scale buyers and sellers of high-quality carbon credits, typically priced above US$10 per tonne of CO2e, rather than smaller retail or SME participants. CTX is extending invitations during New York Climate Week, inviting eligible organisations to 'request an invitation'.

CTX drops standard 2%-5% commission structure for its largest members

Standard CTX membership charges buyers 2% and sellers 5% of trade value plus an annual account fee. Corporate One eliminates both the account-opening fee and minimum balance requirement, replacing them with a flat per-credit fee that holds regardless of price movement.

San Francisco – September 23, 2026 -- Instacart (Nasdaq: CART) and Dollar General Corporation (NYSE: DG) have launched a partnership to offer same-day delivery of the discount retailer's products through the Instacart App and website, with plans to scale to roughly 20,000 stores across 48 states this fall.

Pilot program covers 7,000 stores in six states before national expansion

The rollout begins with a pilot at approximately 7,000 Dollar General and pOpshelf stores in six states, with delivery available in as fast as one hour. Customers will be able to order food and snacks, household essentials, and health and beauty products through the platform.

New York – September 23, 2026 -- SureDone has introduced Taska AI, an artificial intelligence listing agent now live with select pilot customers on its multichannel e-commerce platform, designed to automate listing creation and error resolution across connected sales channels.

Taska AI merges product data, channel integrations and listing workflows into a single conversational tool

Sellers can direct Taska to examine products, refine titles and descriptions, prepare channel-specific fields and generate scoped listing plans for review before submission.

The system tracks marketplace outcomes and flags rejections after listings go live

Once a seller authorizes a plan, Taska executes the listed actions and distinguishes a mere submission from a verified marketplace result. Eligible fixes proceed automatically within the authorized workflow, while issues requiring seller judgment are returned to the team.

Berlin – September 23, 2026 -- CRRC, the world's largest rail equipment manufacturer, unveiled three full-size vehicles at InnoTrans 2026, targeting urban transit, mainline freight and intermodal logistics with new low-carbon and AI-enabled technology.

CRRC launches VELLINK platform with industry's first embodied AI metro train

The flagship digital-intelligent metro train under the new VELLINK urban rail platform uses integrated multi-source sensors to create a real-time sensing network that monitors tracks and identifies potential failures, cutting lifecycle maintenance costs. Lightweight materials and deep system integration reduce total vehicle weight by approximately 18% and cut energy consumption by more than 10% compared with conventional trains. The train's industrial design has won the international iF Design Award, with cabin features including panoramic windows and rotatable seating.

Shanghai – September 23, 2026 -- Leekr Technology has logged more than 4.5 billion kilometers of on-road testing for its intelligent chassis systems, secured nominations for over 60 vehicle programs, and now supplies more than 16 automakers worldwide.

Shanghai – September 23, 2026 -- Huawei used a dedicated session at HUAWEI CONNECT 2026 to lay out a new architecture for wide area networks (WAN) built for AI-driven traffic, unveiling its Stellar AI Integrated Data WAN Solution and a jointly published white paper with GlobalData on intelligent WAN design for the agentic AI era.

Legacy WAN architecture cannot absorb AI's unpredictable traffic spikes, GlobalData warns

Dustin Kehoe, Head of AMEA Tech Research at GlobalData, told attendees that AI workloads generate massive, real-time data flows that conventional networks were never designed to handle. He said AI requires distributed, edge-enabled frameworks that process data closer to its source to cut latency and optimize bandwidth, alongside deterministic performance guarantees at a granular level.
