Hankook Tire & Technology said it has signed a four-year deal to keep supplying original equipment (OE) tires — tires installed on vehicles at the factory, before they reach dealers — to German trailer manufacturer Schmitz Cargobull, extending a partnership that dates back more than a decade. Under the agreement, which runs from July 2026 through June 2030, Hankook will supply truck and bus radial (TBR) tires for Schmitz Cargobull's new trailers across Europe, the company said. Hankook first began supplying OE tires to Schmitz Cargobull in 2013 and has since expanded the range of products it provides. Schmitz Cargobull, headquartered in Germany, is Europe's largest trailer manufacturer, with production plants across the continent, including in the United Kingdom, Spain, Lithuania, Romania and Turkey. The company makes refrigerated semi-trailers and dump trailers, among other commercial vehicle equipment, and is a major supplier to Europe's logistics industry. The tires supplied under the deal will use Hankook's Smartec platform, its top-tier TBR technology line. Products include the

Coway has launched the Berex Triple Chair 2 Slim, a multifunctional chair that combines the functions of an office chair, recliner and massage chair. The new product reflects growing demand for space-saving furniture as housing costs rise and one- and two-person households become more common, the home appliance maker said. The Triple Chair 2 Slim is 9 percent smaller in volume than the previous model, making it easier to fit into tight spaces. It also features hidden wheels that give the chair a cleaner look while making it easier to move. The chair is designed for people who spend long hours sitting, such as those working from home or studying. The massage balls are tucked inside the backrest when the massage function is not in use, reducing pressure on the back. The head cushion supports the head and neck, while the seat height can be adjusted by up to 5 centimeters to suit different body types. The backrest can be reclined from 110 degrees for working to 150 degrees for relaxing. Users can also adjust the backrest and leg rest separately for a more comfortable position. The chair also f

Fears over artificial intelligence's rapid development sent Congress into a tailspin this week, as dozens of lawmakers joined the debate on how to regulate the technology. The frenzy in Washington has included policymakers who have long engaged on the subject, but also those seizing on the mounting concerns for the first time. In the wake...

For years, stablecoins have carried a simple promise: move money globally with the speed of the internet, without the cost and delays of traditional banking rails. The harder question has always been whether they can move from crypto-native circles into regulated, everyday payments. Singapore-based dtcpay is betting that the answer lies not in bypassing the […] The post SBI joins dtcpay’s US$25M round to bridge Japan, SEA stablecoin corridors appeared first on e27.

Crunchbase’s first-half 2026 numbers looked like an industry-wide win: global venture funding hit US$510 billion, smashing the previous half-year record. Look closer and the picture curdles. OpenAI and Anthropic alone absorbed 43 per cent of every venture dollar deployed on the planet in six months, with Anthropic’s US$65-billion raise alone equal to nearly a third of […] The post Ecosystem Roundup: The AI funding boom has a Southeast Asia-sized blind spot appeared first on e27.

As market fears mount over waning Big Tech spending and calls to slow down frontier artificial intelligence development, Asia-Pacific semiconductor foundries are better positioned to withstand a potential downturn in AI investment than other tech hardware firms in the region, according to S&P Global Ratings. In a report published on Thursday, the rating agency said it had stress tested four key Asia-Pacific sectors – foundries, memory manufacturers, cooling component suppliers and original...

A founder may want the main business argument. A marketing lead may care about campaign angles. A sales lead may look for customer objections. A busy operator may only want the practical steps. The core idea can be the same, but the way it is framed often needs to change. That was the problem we […] The post How we use AI to turn one article into audience-specific versions appeared first on e27.

The global rush to build artificial intelligence may be making the basic gateway to the internet more expensive for the people who need it most.

I’ve watched the same movie play out too many times: a management team receives a penetration testing report, sees a wall of findings with scary-sounding names, and immediately assumes their platform is on fire. It’s not on fire. It’s almost never on fire. But the report sure makes it look like it is. And that’s […] The post How to read a VAPT report without panicking appeared first on e27.

For most of my career, I believed professional value followed a relatively stable equation. The more capable you became, the more valuable you became. That assumption shaped how many of us approached work, leadership, and identity itself. We invested years building expertise because expertise carried weight. We learned to execute reliably because reliability created trust. […] The post The AI economy is quietly exposing what organisations truly value about humans appeared first on e27.

Huawei Technologies expects a major domestic shift towards its artificial intelligence computing infrastructure for model training next year, as its Ascend processors gain ground on Nvidia in China despite supply constraints, according to rotating chairman Eric Xu Zhijun. “I believe that starting from next year, a lot of the AI model training will be based on the SuperPoD or SuperCluster based on Ascend 950DT,” Xu told reporters during the Huawei Connect 2026 conference in Shanghai on...
