Giga Carbon Neutrality (GCN), the Canadian and US based clean commercial transportation and technology company, today announced that it has secured a contract to supply 2520 battery powered EV heavy trucks to Guohua Environmental Energy Industry Development Company (Guohua) to fulfill orders on behalf of a large Chinese State owned mining company. In addition, both parties have also entered into a framework agreement for up to 8,000 units of New Energy Vehicles (NEV) including battery EV heavy trucks and logistics vehicles for the mining industry. GCN will provide financial solutions for Guohua’s customers. The first batch of 20 Battery Electric Vehicles is due off the production line in the first half of 2022.

The GCN trucks will be produced in a strategic partnership with Xuzhou Construction Machinery Group (XCMG) and Guohua, who will be supplying the cold weather high performance batteries.

In November 2021, GCN announced its intention to launch a full range of 21 battery-electric and hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles by the end of 2023, which will be configurable to a wide range of commercial use cases. The first vehicles are available to order now for delivery in 2022.

Marty Wade, CEO at Giga Carbon Neutrality, comments: “Coming just a week after the announcement of the contract for 200 Hydrogen Fuel Cell powered trucks, this contract for 2520 battery electric trucks, plus the framework agreement for up to 8000 more, puts us at the forefront of the new energy commercial vehicle sector.”

Incognito Software Systems Launches NEXA, an AI-Enabled Solution for Automated Broadband Operations28.9.2026 16:00:00 EEST | Press release

Incognito Software Systems, a leading global provider of service orchestration, device management, and network intelligence solutions, today introduced NEXA, an AI-driven network intelligence and automation platform that enables broadband service providers to turn operational data into action. NEXA unifies network, device, service, and subscriber data in a single intelligence layer, delivering real-time and predictive insights that help service providers identify issues sooner, better understand the subscriber experience, and take faster, more informed action across their operations. As service providers seek to differentiate beyond connectivity, subscriber experience has become a critical competitive advantage. However, networks have evolved into complex service platforms that span access, edge, customer premises, apps, and third-party systems, making it difficult to detect and resolve issues quickly. NEXA addresses this challenge by combining cross-platform observability with AI-enab

Volante Technologies and Circle advance stablecoin payment and settlement capabilities for financial institutions28.9.2026 16:00:00 EEST | Press release

Volante Technologies, the global leader in Payments as a Service (PaaS), today announced a strategic collaboration with Circle Internet Group, Inc. (NYSE: CRCL) (“Circle”), a leading internet financial platform company and the issuer of USDC1 through its regulated entities, to help financial institutions integrate stablecoin payment and settlement capabilities into their existing payment operations. Through the collaboration, Volante is bringing USDC workflows into its AI-powered Payments Platform, enabling financial institutions to evaluate how stablecoin activity can operate alongside existing payment rails, operational controls, and on- and off-ramp requirements - without requiring a separate digital asset stack. Volante clients, which include four of the top five global corporate banks and seven of the top 10 U.S. banks, will be able to evaluate key workflows, including minting, redemption, beneficiary wallet registration, funding, notifications, and wallet-to-wallet payment execut

Xsolla Releases The Xsolla Report: Mobile D2C Edition28.9.2026 16:00:00 EEST | Press release

Xsolla, a global commerce company, today released The Xsolla Report: Mobile D2C Edition, a new study examining how direct-to-consumer commerce is performing across mobile games. Drawing on data from more than 800 live Xsolla Web Shops alongside public market and regulatory data, the report shows that D2C has moved past the question of whether it works and into a new phase: studios seeing the strongest results are the ones treating their Web Shop as an operating discipline rather than a one-time build. This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260928312597/en/ Graphic: Xsolla Three themes run through the report. First, the gap between a typical Web Shop and a top-performing one is wide, and closing it has little to do with studio size, as indie teams achieve top-tier results comparable to enterprise publishers. Second, more features don’t mean more revenue. A small number of continuously tuned mechanics, particularly loy

ZincFive Expands Nickel-Zinc Technology into In-Rack Backup and AI Dynamic Power Solutions28.9.2026 15:05:00 EEST | Press release

ZincFive®, the leader in nickel-zinc (NiZn) battery-based solutions for immediate power applications, today announced its expansion into in-rack energy storage with the development of Battery Backup Unit (BBU) and AI Dynamic Power Module (DPM) solutions designed to address the evolving energy storage requirements of AI data centers. As AI drives higher rack power densities and increasingly dynamic workloads, data center power architectures are evolving to manage both traditional backup requirements and rapid, repeated changes in power demand. These transient loads can place significant stress on electrical infrastructure, creating a growing need for power solutions closer to the rack that can respond quickly, safely, and reliably. Today’s rack-level technologies often require tradeoffs between energy capacity and dynamic power response. Traditional BBUs are primarily designed to provide backup runtime, while capacitor-based systems offer rapid response but limited energy duration and s
