Seoul – September 12, 2026 -- DB HiTek has completed reliability qualification for its 1,200 V silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFET process on 8-inch (200 mm) wafers, establishing what it calls the world's first complete 8-inch SiC foundry process flow. The South Korean pure-play foundry targets volume production in 2027.

Second-generation PDK clears reliability testing with 2.5 mΩ•cm2 on-resistance

The qualified second-generation process achieves a specific on-resistance (Rsp) of 2.5 mΩ•cm2 or less and a threshold voltage of 3 V or higher at an 18 V on-state gate voltage. DB HiTek is now supplying customers with Process Design Kits (PDKs) for its first- and second-generation 1,200 V SiC MOSFET processes, enabling design, manufacturing, electrical characterization and reliability qualification through a single foundry platform.

Tel Aviv – September 12, 2026 -- ADAMA Ltd. has secured its first European Union product registration for Ferrabait®, a molluscicide built on the company's novel Feralla® active ingredient, with approval granted in Latvia.

Latvia registration opens door to 2027 rollout across France, Sweden and Lithuania

The Latvian clearance is the initial step in a phased European commercialization plan, with additional national registrations and launches slated to begin in 2027 in France, Sweden and Lithuania. ADAMA positions the product against rising slug pressure that milder European winters have intensified for growers.

Seoul – September 12, 2026 -- DB HiTek has completed reliability qualification for its 8-inch (200mm) 1,200V silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFET manufacturing process, establishing what the company calls the world's first complete foundry production flow for 8-inch SiC power semiconductors. Mass production is targeted for 2027.

Seoul – September 12, 2026 -- DB HiTek has completed reliability qualification testing for its 1,200V silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFET process on 8-inch (200mm) wafers, establishing what the company calls the world's first full-service process for 8-inch SiC semiconductor production.

DB HiTek targets 2027 mass production launch for 8-inch SiC wafers

The South Korean specialty foundry plans to open the process to existing customers in the third quarter of this year and extend availability to all clients starting in the second quarter of 2027. The move addresses a shift among major global chipmakers from 6-inch to 8-inch SiC wafers to cut production costs and improve manufacturing efficiency, a transition driven by SiC's superior performance over silicon in high-voltage, high-temperature applications used in electric vehicles, renewable energy systems and industrial power equipment.

Seoul – September 12, 2026 -- DB HiTek has completed reliability qualification for its 1200V silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFET process on 8-inch (200mm) wafers, becoming the first foundry to build a complete process chain for 8-inch SiC MOSFET production at this voltage class. The South Korean pure-play foundry plans to launch mass production in 2027, targeting the electric vehicle, renewable energy and industrial power electronics markets.

DB HiTek builds world-first 8-inch SiC foundry process chain

The company developed an end-to-end foundry process covering design, manufacturing, electrical characterization and reliability qualification for 8-inch SiC MOSFET devices rated at 1200V. Most SiC wafer production today runs on 6-inch substrates, but major chipmakers are shifting to 8-inch wafers to cut costs and improve manufacturing efficiency, a transition DB HiTek says it is positioned to capture.

Hannover – September 12, 2026 -- Chinese commercial vehicle maker FOTON reported an export volume of 149,000 units between January and August 2026, a 44.3% increase year-on-year, as it opened a 1,000-square-meter exhibit at IAA Transportation 2026 in Hannover.

FOTON deploys seven vehicles and six self-developed components at Hall 21 booth

Under the theme "EASY MOVE," the company is showcasing seven complete vehicles and six core components engineered for European transport scenarios spanning long-haul logistics, urban waste collection, city delivery, and public transit. The lineup includes new-energy drive models alongside self-developed batteries, e-axles, electronic control units, and megawatt charging stations.

Munich – September 12, 2026 -- RTLZWEI will premiere "Maison Tabou," a new reality dating format built around anonymous, sensory-driven blind dates, on September 30, 2026, at 23:35 CET, with episodes available seven days early on streaming service RTL+.

RTLZWEI schedules weekly Wednesday slot for new format produced by UFA Show & Factual

The series will air weekly on Wednesdays at 23:35 on RTLZWEI following its launch date, with UFA Show & Factual handling production. The format strips participants of names, jobs, and personal history at check-in, structuring encounters around physical attraction rather than conventional dating criteria.

Saalfelden, Austria – September 12, 2026 -- Experience World Saalfelden will launch as a standalone B2B brand on September 9, 2026, consolidating a decades-old Austrian automotive and events site into a single alpine destination for manufacturers and corporate clients.

Three separate facilities merge under one brand identity

The site, built around the ÖAMTC Fahrtechnik Zentrum established in 1989, combines an onroad track with an Experience Center, an offroad park, and an ice arena. The adjacent Hotel Gut Brandlhof adds meeting and wellness capacity directly on location, removing the need for transfers between venues during multi-module corporate programs.

Zhengzhou – September 12, 2026 -- Chinese bus manufacturer Yutong has launched the T14, a diesel-powered premium touring coach engineered specifically for the European market, expanding its T-Series lineup with a vehicle built on components from DAF, ZF and Bosch.

Yutong pairs a DAF MX-13 engine with ZF suspension and Bosch steering for European roads

The T14 runs on a DAF MX-13 engine rated at 350 kW and 2,500 N·m of torque, paired with a Bosch steering system that keeps the minimum turning radius under 21 meters. Yutong says the combination delivers maneuverability across varied European terrain, from mountain passes to coastal routes, targeting both cross-border long-distance transport and premium touring operators.

Paramus, N.J. – September 12, 2026 -- Sony Electronics has unveiled the DWT-B40 bodypack transmitter and DWR-R40Q rack-mount receiver, the fourth generation of its DWX Digital Wireless Microphone Series, with availability set for March 2027.

New transmitter adds in-device 32-bit float backup recording

The DWT-B40 incorporates an in-transmitter recording function using Sony's proprietary algorithm, enabling distortion-free backup capture directly on the device in the event of a wireless signal interruption. Recording can be triggered via the REC button or remotely from the receiver through Cross Remote control, with timecode synchronization and microSD card data transfer. Simultaneous transmission and recording is not currently supported in North America.
