HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach Newswire - 26 January 2026 – Dachser, a global logistics provider with over 90 years of experience, recently hosted a customer event in Bangkok, Thailand, bringing together customers and industry stakeholders to discuss the 2026 air and sea freight market outlook and the role of Supply Chain Optimization in navigating a challenging global trade environment. Philipp Ramsbacher, Team Leader Supply Chain Optimization at Dachser, says today’s supply chains are too complex to rely on assumptions or past patterns. Data-driven simulation, rather than guesswork, helps create transparency, align expectations, and design logistics networks. The event highlighted key developments shaping international trade flows, including geopolitical tensions, evolving sourcing strategies, capacity dynamics, and cost developments across air and sea freight markets. The discussions also underscored the growing importance of structured Supply Chain Optimization as companies adapt their logistics networks to changing market conditions. "After several years of volatility, the air freight market is gradually moving toward a more balanced environment," said Daniel Chua, Head of Air Freight, Air & Sea Logistics Asia Pacific at Dachser. "While demand fundamentals remain positive, careful capacity planning and realistic forecasting will be increasingly important as the market continues to normalize." In air freight, Dachser expects demand in 2026 to grow at a single-digit rate, supported by moderate capacity expansion and a normalization of rate patterns. While stable yields are anticipated, growth will continue to be driven by e-commerce, electronics – particularly AI-related components – and pharmaceuticals, alongside a structural shift of trade lanes toward Southeast Asia. In sea freight, Dachser forecasts global demand growth to slow below three percent in 2026, despite continued strength in intra-Asia trade and Asia-Europe volumes. While fleet growth remains significant, supply and demand are relatively balanced, supported by blank sailings and vessel scrapping. Freight rates are expected to stabilize into early 2026, although uncertainty remains due to high operating costs and ongoing geopolitical developments. "Even as rates soften, the market remains far from predictable," said Eunice Yu, Head of Ocean Freight, Air & Sea Logistics Asia Pacific at Dachser. "Flexibility, diversified routing options, and realistic lead-time planning are essential for building resilient supply chains in the year ahead." Beyond outlooks: enabling resilience through Supply Chain Optimization Beyond market analysis, Dachser sees that supply chains increasingly depend on structured, data-driven planning by taking a Supply Chain Optimization approach, which supports customers in analyzing, modeling, and redesigning logistics networks based on real operational data. Philipp Ramsbacher, Team Leader of Supply Chain Optimization at Dachser says, "By applying Supply Chain Optimization with data-driven simulation, Dachser enables customers to evaluate scenarios, align stakeholders, and develop optimized and implementable supply chain solutions. These solutions help design logistics networks that are robust, efficient, and sustainable." Projects showcased during the event demonstrated measurable improvements, including cost savings, reduced CO₂ emissions, and enhanced delivery performance, underscoring the value of a structured Supply Chain Optimization approach. With integrated air, sea, and contract logistics solutions and its strong presence across Asia Pacific as well as a well-established European road logistics backbone, Dachser continues to support customers navigate changing market conditions while strengthening long-term supply chain performance.

Asia’s Elite Are Redefining What Charter Really Means For decades, private jet charter in Asia followed a familiar pattern: an aircraft was arranged, a route confirmed, and a flight executed. The value proposition centered on access—faster than commercial, more private, undeniably premium. Today, that definition is no longer sufficient. Across Taiwan and the wider Asia-Pacific region, ultra-high-net-worth individuals (UHNWIs) and Fortune 500 executives are demanding something more sophisticated: a charter experience shaped around their lives, their decisions, and their pace, not simply their departure and arrival points. This shift explains the growing influence of VIP Global and its evolving VIP Jet Membership, which is expanding Asia-centric charter benefits into a fully integrated executive mobility framework—one that blends priority routing, bespoke inflight environments, and executive-grade ground support into a single, governed solution. In Taiwan, this model is quietly reshaping how elites travel for deals, diplomacy, and family commitments—without drawing attention to itself. From Charter Access to Charter Advantage Traditional charter answers a basic question: Can I get an aircraft?VIP Global’s Jet Membership answers a more strategic one: How do I travel in a way that preserves momentum? For Asia’s most influential travelers, access alone is no longer the differentiator. Advantage now comes from how deeply travel is customized around decision-making, discretion, and continuity. VIP Global’s membership expands charter benefits by embedding them within a broader system: Priority routing aligned with executive timelines Bespoke inflight environments reflecting personal and cultural preferences Executive ground coordination that removes friction before it appears The result is not simply smoother travel, but a measurable reduction in cognitive and operational burden for principals whose time is their most constrained asset. Asia Moves Faster—So Must Its Mobility Asia’s business environment operates on compressed timelines. Deals are negotiated across multiple countries within days. Diplomatic engagements overlap with corporate obligations. Family offices manage assets and relationships across continents simultaneously. In this environment, travel delays and inconsistencies do more than inconvenience—they undermine leverage. VIP Global’s Asia-centric charter model recognizes this reality. Rather than applying Western charter assumptions to Asian itineraries, the membership is designed around regional patterns: Frequent short-notice adjustments Multi-city itineraries within compressed windows Cultural sensitivity around privacy, service, and discretion This localization is one reason Taiwan has become a natural anchor point for the program. Priority Routing as Strategic Control Among the most valuable charter enhancements within VIP Global’s membership is priority routing. For UHNW individuals and corporate leaders, routing decisions are not merely logistical. They affect: Arrival readiness Exposure to congestion and delays Confidentiality during transit VIP Global’s membership prioritizes routing that aligns with executive intent rather than convenience alone. Flights are structured to minimize interruption, preserve rest cycles, and support rapid transitions between engagements. In practice, this allows principals to move through Asia—and beyond—with control rather than contingency. Bespoke Catering: More Than Hospitality In private aviation, catering is often treated as an amenity. Within VIP Global’s Jet Membership, it is treated as part of the inflight environment. Asia’s UHNW travelers are increasingly global, yet deeply personal in their preferences. Meals onboard must accommodate not only dietary needs, but cultural rhythms and professional schedules. Bespoke catering within the membership is designed to: Support productivity during long sectors Respect cultural and personal preferences Enhance comfort without distraction For executives conducting meetings inflight or transitioning directly into negotiations, these details are not cosmetic. They are functional. Executive Ground Support: The Invisible Differentiator If inflight experience defines comfort, ground support defines continuity. VIP Global’s Jet Membership places significant emphasis on executive-level ground coordination—ensuring that the transition between air and ground is seamless, discreet, and predictable. This includes: Coordinated airport movements Controlled exposure during arrivals and departures Alignment with onward ground logistics For high-profile individuals, these elements often matter more than the aircraft itself. Smooth ground handling preserves focus and reduces risk—particularly in high-density Asian hubs. Taiwan’s UHNW Community Embraces Hyper-Customization Taiwan’s UHNW population has grown not only in size, but in sophistication. Many principals have lived, studied, or operated abroad, bringing global expectations back home. What distinguishes Taiwan, however, is how these expectations are expressed: quietly, deliberately, and with an emphasis on substance over show. VIP Global’s membership resonates with this sensibility. Customization is delivered without excess communication or exhibition. Benefits are experienced, not advertised. For Taiwan’s elite, this restraint signals maturity. Corporate Leaders Seek Continuity, Not Complexity For Fortune 500 executives based in Taiwan or managing Asia-Pacific operations, the value of VIP Global’s Jet Membership lies in its ability to simplify complexity. Executive calendars rarely follow linear paths. Meetings shift, negotiations extend, and crises emerge without warning. The membership model absorbs this volatility, allowing travel plans to adapt without cascading disruption. Corporate leaders no longer manage travel—they rely on a system designed to manage it for them. This reliability is increasingly viewed as an extension of corporate infrastructure. Deals, Diplomacy, and Family Life on One Platform One of the defining characteristics of Asia’s elite is the convergence of roles. A single individual may, within the same week: Negotiate a cross-border acquisition Attend a regional diplomatic forum Oversee family office investments Participate in personal or philanthropic commitments VIP Global’s Jet Membership supports this convergence by offering a unified travel framework adaptable to each context. The aircraft, crew, and support ecosystem adjust to purpose—without requiring the principal to reset expectations or processes. Membership as a Shield Against Volatility Asia’s geopolitical and economic landscape is dynamic. Airspace restrictions, regulatory shifts, and market disruptions can alter travel conditions rapidly. VIP Global’s Jet Membership provides a degree of insulation from this volatility by maintaining structured access and prioritized support. For UHNW families and corporations alike, this stability is increasingly valuable. It allows leadership to act decisively even as external conditions fluctuate. Quiet Prestige in an Era of Visibility In a digital age where visibility is often mistaken for influence, Asia’s elite increasingly value quiet competence. VIP Global’s approach to charter enhancement reflects this ethos. The membership does not emphasize spectacle. It emphasizes readiness. For those who operate at the intersection of wealth, responsibility, and influence, this restraint is not a weakness—it is a signal of confidence. Asia-Centric by Design, Global in Reach While rooted in Asia, VIP Global’s Jet Membership is not regionally constrained. Its benefits extend seamlessly into intercontinental travel, supporting missions to Europe, North America, and beyond. What differentiates the program is its Asia-first design philosophy—recognizing that travel patterns, expectations, and sensitivities differ across regions. By starting from Taiwan and Asia, VIP Global has built a membership that feels intuitive rather than imported. The Evolution of Charter Thinking The expansion of Asia-centric charter benefits reflects a broader evolution in private aviation thinking. Charter is no longer about filling empty legs or opportunistic access. It is about designing an environment in which leadership can function without distraction. VIP Global’s Jet Membership positions charter not as a transaction, but as a relationship—one governed by standards, trust, and long-term alignment. Taiwan’s Role as a Reference Market As VIP Global’s membership gains traction, Taiwan is increasingly viewed as a reference market for how Asia’s elite approach mobility. The island’s blend of global exposure, cultural restraint, and executive discipline has produced a demand for travel solutions that are refined rather than flamboyant. VIP Global’s success here suggests that the future of Asian private aviation will be shaped less by marketing claims and more by execution quality. Looking Forward: Charter Without Compromise As Asia’s UHNW population continues to grow and corporate leadership becomes ever more mobile, the demand for charter solutions that go beyond access will intensify. VIP Global’s Jet Membership—by expanding charter benefits into a holistic mobility system—offers a blueprint for this future. It demonstrates that the highest level of luxury is not excess, but absence of friction. Conclusion: When Customization Becomes Strategy VIP Global’s expansion of Asia-centric charter benefits marks a quiet but meaningful shift in how private aviation is experienced by Taiwan’s elite. By integrating priority routing, bespoke inflight environments, and executive ground support into a single membership framework, the company has transformed charter from a service into a strategic asset. For UHNW individuals and Fortune 500 executives navigating deals, diplomacy, and family life across borders, this evolution is not optional—it is inevitable. In Asia, where time moves fast and expectations are precise, mobility must do more than transport. It must enable leadership. And increasingly, that leadership moves with VIP Global.

In executive travel, first impressions are rarely formed in boardrooms or corner offices. They are shaped quietly, often subconsciously, in the minutes following arrival—when an aircraft door opens, when a terminal corridor narrows, when a traveler transitions from global transit to local ground reality. For ultra-high-net-worth individuals and Fortune 500 executives arriving in Taipei, that moment increasingly carries a signature. It is precise, restrained, and unmistakably professional. It belongs to VIP Global. Over the past decade, VIP Global has redefined what a first impression means in executive travel, elevating airport transfers from a logistical necessity into a strategic extension of personal and corporate reputation. In doing so, the firm has helped reshape how Taipei is experienced by the world’s most influential decision-makers. First Impressions as Strategic Assets For senior executives, first impressions are not emotional luxuries—they are strategic assets. The opening moments of an arrival set tone, mindset, and expectations for everything that follows. A seamless transition communicates preparedness. A controlled environment signals professionalism. A lack of friction conveys credibility. VIP Global’s airport transfer service in Taipei is designed around this reality. Rather than viewing airport pickups as a commodity, the company treats them as the first operational touchpoint in a client’s engagement with the city. This approach reflects a broader evolution in executive mobility. Transportation is no longer neutral. It communicates values, standards, and attention to detail—often before a single word is exchanged. The Airport as a Psychological Threshold Airports represent a psychological threshold for executives. They mark the shift from global transit to local execution, from abstraction to immediacy. In this compressed window, clients recalibrate—reviewing agendas, preparing for negotiations, or simply recovering from long-haul travel. VIP Global understands that this transition must be protected. Its airport transfer experience is structured to provide calm, clarity, and continuity at precisely the moment executives need it most. Professional chauffeurs operate with deliberate restraint. Vehicles are prepared to offer comfort without excess. Communication is concise and purposeful. The result is an arrival that feels intentional rather than improvised. Luxury Without Excess In many markets, luxury transportation is associated with visibility—bold designs, conspicuous branding, and overt displays of status. Among UHNW individuals and Fortune 500 executives, however, luxury has taken on a different meaning. VIP Global’s airport transfers reflect this shift. Premium vehicles are selected for refinement and performance, not spectacle. Interiors emphasize comfort, privacy, and acoustic control. Exteriors remain understated, allowing clients to move through the city without unnecessary attention. This philosophy resonates with executives who view discretion as the highest form of sophistication. For them, the absence of friction is the ultimate luxury. Professional Chauffeurs as Brand Ambassadors The role of a chauffeur in executive travel extends far beyond driving. At the point of arrival, chauffeurs serve as the first human interface between the client and the destination. VIP Global’s chauffeurs are trained to operate within this context. Their conduct reflects international executive protocols: attentive but unobtrusive, prepared but reserved. They understand when silence is appropriate and when information is required. For executives accustomed to global travel, this professionalism is immediately recognizable. It signals that the service provider understands the environment in which they operate—and respects the stakes involved. Taipei Through an Executive Lens For many Fortune 500 leaders, Taipei is not merely a city—it is a strategic node. It represents manufacturing capacity, technological leadership, and regional influence. The way executives experience their arrival shapes how they perceive the city’s readiness to support global business. VIP Global’s airport transfer service contributes quietly to this perception. By delivering consistent, high-caliber arrivals, the company reinforces Taipei’s image as a city capable of operating at the highest international standards. In this way, airport transfers become a form of soft infrastructure—one that influences sentiment as much as logistics. The Intersection of Mobility and Reputation In executive environments, reputation is cumulative. It is shaped not only by decisions, but by details—how meetings are conducted, how travel is managed, how transitions are handled. VIP Global’s airport transfers function as an extension of this reputational framework. For corporate leaders, arriving in a controlled, professional environment reinforces authority and preparedness. For UHNW individuals, it preserves privacy and composure. The service does not seek visibility. It supports presence. Why First Impressions Matter More Than Ever In an era of compressed schedules and heightened scrutiny, executives have little tolerance for inefficiency. Every interaction, no matter how brief, contributes to an overall assessment of competence. Airport transfers are often the first test. When executed poorly, they introduce doubt. When executed well, they fade into the background—allowing focus to remain on substance rather than process. VIP Global’s success lies in its ability to make itself almost invisible, while delivering outcomes that matter deeply to its clients. Consistency as a Hallmark of Luxury True luxury is consistent. It does not fluctuate based on time, circumstance, or personnel. Fortune 500 executives returning to Taipei expect the same experience on their tenth arrival as on their first. VIP Global’s airport transfer service is engineered to meet this expectation. Standards are codified. Training is continuous. Vehicles are maintained to uniform benchmarks. This consistency builds trust—an intangible asset that is particularly valuable among clients whose tolerance for uncertainty is minimal. Supporting Executive Focus The minutes following arrival are often when executives prepare mentally for high-stakes engagements. A smooth transfer allows them to review materials, reflect, or simply decompress. VIP Global’s vehicles are designed to support this focus. Interiors prioritize comfort and quiet. The environment feels controlled and predictable. In this setting, the airport transfer becomes more than movement—it becomes preparation. Aligning with Global Executive Norms Executives arriving in Taipei bring with them expectations shaped by other global centers. They anticipate a certain level of professionalism, discretion, and timing accuracy. VIP Global aligns its airport transfer service with these norms. The experience feels familiar, regardless of geography. This familiarity reduces cognitive load and reinforces confidence—two outcomes that are difficult to quantify, but essential to executive performance. First Impressions That Endure The true measure of a first impression is not its immediacy, but its endurance. VIP Global’s airport transfers leave clients with a lasting sense of assurance—one that extends beyond the journey itself. Executives arrive prepared rather than unsettled. UHNW individuals arrive composed rather than exposed. The city feels accessible, navigable, and professional. These impressions persist, shaping how clients engage with Taipei long after the transfer ends. Redefining the Role of Airport Transfers By elevating airport transfers into a strategic touchpoint, VIP Global has redefined their role in executive travel. They are no longer peripheral services. They are integral components of reputation management and operational readiness. In Taipei, where global business increasingly converges, this distinction matters. A Quiet Standard of Excellence VIP Global’s airport transfer service does not announce itself. It does not rely on spectacle or excess. Its strength lies in execution—quiet, disciplined, and precise. For UHNW individuals and Fortune 500 executives, this approach redefines first impressions. It transforms arrival from a moment of uncertainty into one of confidence. And in executive travel, confidence is everything. About VIP Global VIP Global is Taiwan’s premier provider of high-end mobility and hospitality solutions, serving ultra-high-net-worth individuals, Fortune 500 corporations, and international organizations with uncompromising standards of professionalism and discretion.

DAVOS, Switzerland, Jan. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Leading The Charge – Turning risk into reward with a circular economy for EV batteries and critical minerals, a whitepaper released by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation during the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2026, marks the first integrated, actionable circular value-chain roadmap for EV batteries grounded in real-world industrial practice. It also sets a landmark milestone in the cooperation between CATL and the Foundation. Developed with input from over 30 leading organizations across the EV battery ecosystem — including CATL, DHL, Volvo, and JLR, alongside research institutions and NGOs — the report sets out a clear, industry-informed direction for how EV batteries must be designed, used, recovered, and reintegrated to maximise value and reduce systemic risk across the value chain. As the founding strategic partner of The Foundation's Critical Minerals Mission, CATL worked closely with The Foundation and industry peers to translate circular economy principles into practical, deployable actions grounded in real operating experience. The roadmap also supports CATL's Global Energy Circularity Commitment, including its long-term goal to decouple battery growth from virgin raw material extraction. It highlights the opportunities a circular EV battery system can unlock across environment, economy, product, and broader value creation. By keeping batteries and their critical minerals in use across multiple lifecycles, it reduces demand for newly mined materials, lowers emissions, and supports renewable energy integration. It also increases economic value by improving material efficiency, lowering waste and operational costs, and creating new revenue streams. At the same time, it strengthens supply chain resilience and distributes economic benefits more equitably across regions, showing that a systemic, circular approach transforms potential risks into strategic, value-generating opportunities. Five bright spots to unlock a circular EV battery systemThe whitepaper identifies five interdependent actions needed to keep battery materials in high-value use and strengthen system resilience: Design batteries for circularity, not disposal Rethink battery service within optimized energy–mobility systems Scale circular business models that treat batteries as long-term assets Build and co-invest in regional circular infrastructure Enable a circular operating system through data, standards, and policy CATL actions already in practiceCATL is already putting these system-level actions into practice across its operations. By separating the battery from the vehicle, CATL manages batteries as centrally managed assets, increasing utilization, enabling scheduled maintenance, and ensuring predictable return at end of use. Today, CATL operates more than 1,000 passenger-vehicle and over 300 commercial-vehicle swap stations, supported by a growing ecosystem of more than 100 partners. This system integration enables high-quality recovery at scale. CATL's recycling operations achieve recovery rates of 99.6% for nickel, cobalt, and manganese, and 96.5% for lithium, with processing capacity expanding toward 270,000 tonnes per year. In parallel, CATL is applying alternative chemistries such as sodium-ion batteries, using widely available materials and reducing lifecycle carbon emissions per kilowatt-hour by up to 60%, reinforcing circular performance across mobility, swapping, and energy storage applications. Scaling togetherSpeaking at The Foundation's Leadership Briefing among CATL Jiang Li, Vice-Chairman and Board Secretary of CATL highlighted: "This report marks a major milestone in the global journey towards a circular battery economy. Circular battery systems must now be scaled across regions, industries, and applications — from EVs to energy storage — and adapted to diverse market contexts." "As EV adoption accelerates, a circular economy for batteries and critical minerals is no longer optional — it is essential to affordability, resilience, and long-term growth while reducing environmental and social impacts," said Wen-Yu Weng, Executive Leader for Critical Minerals at the Ellen MacArthur Foundation. "EV batteries are strategic assets, and circular approaches are key to retaining their value and ensuring critical minerals never become waste. We welcome CATL's contribution and look forward to continued collaboration to help scale a truly circular battery system and support the wider energy transition." For CATL, this agenda directly underpins its pathway to carbon neutrality — building on the achievement of carbon neutrality across all its battery plants, and its target to achieve carbon neutrality across the full value chain by 2035. The launch of the report marks an early milestone in CATL and The Foundation's broader collaboration to accelerate circularity of critical minerals. The next phase will focus on stress-testing these approaches in real-world environments, to understand how design, use, life extension, collection, and recycling loops function together at scale.
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- At CES 2026, VR filmmaker and educator Hugh Hou led a live spatial computing demonstration inside the GIGABYTE suite, showing how immersive video is created in real production environments, not in theory or controlled lab conditions. Inside the Computing Power Behind Spatial Filmmaking: Hugh Hou Goes Hands-On at GIGABYTE Suite During CES 2026 The session gave attendees a close look at a complete spatial filmmaking pipeline, from capture through post-production and final playback. Instead of relying on pre-rendered content, the workflow was executed live on the show floor, reflecting the same processes used in commercial XR projects and placing clear demands on system stability, performance consistency, and thermal reliability. The experience culminated with attendees viewing a two-minute spatial film trailer across Meta Quest, Apple Vision Pro, and the newly launched Galaxy XR headsets, alongside a 3D tablet display offering an additional 180-degree viewing option. Where AI Fits Into Real Creative Workflows AI was presented not as a feature highlight, but as a practical tool embedded into everyday editing tasks. During the demo, AI-assisted enhancement, tracking, and preview processes helped speed up iteration without interrupting creative flow. Footage captured on cinema-grade immersive cameras moved through industry-standard software including Adobe Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve. AI-based upscaling, noise reduction, and detail refinement were applied to meet the visual requirements of immersive VR, where any artifact or softness becomes immediately noticeable across a 360-degree viewing environment. Why Platform Design Matters for Spatial Computing Supporting the entire workflow was a custom-built GIGABYTE AI PC designed specifically for sustained spatial video workloads. The system combined an AMD Ryzen™ 7 9800X3D processor with a Radeon™ AI PRO R9700 AI TOP GPU, providing the memory bandwidth and continuous AI performance required for real-time 8K spatial video playback and rendering. Equally critical, the X870E AORUS MASTER X3D ICE motherboard delivered stable power and signal integrity, allowing the workflow to run predictably throughout the live demonstration. The experience concluded with attendees viewing a finished spatial film trailer across Meta Quest, Apple Vision Pro, and Galaxy XR devices. By enabling a demanding spatial filmmaking workflow to operate live and repeatedly at CES, GIGABYTE demonstrated how platform-level system design turns complex immersive production into something creators can rely on, not just experiment with.
SHENZHEN, China, Jan. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- ATOTO shared an update on CB7 Pro, its Head-Unit AI Console. It's built on a simple philosophy: don't replace the factory screen—give it new capabilities. CB7 Pro plugs into the USB port used for wired CarPlay or wired Android Auto, upgrades the head unit to wireless CarPlay and wireless Android Auto, adds a switchable Android 13 system, and expands the factory display into a more capable in‑car console with video, AI assistance, vehicle data integration, and entertainment options. To put that idea in real drivers' hands faster, ATOTO launched CB7 Pro with an Indiegogo‑first release, making early allocations available to customers who want to experience CB7 Pro sooner than broad retail rollout. ATOTO reports the campaign reached its funding goal within 46 hours, and as of January 21 has reached 301% of its funding goal. So what makes CB7 Pro stand out—and why did it resonate so quickly with drivers? Visit the campaign page here for more details:https://atotodirect.net/CB7Pro CB7 Pro Most vehicles don't need a bigger screen. They need the screen they already have to feel modern again—without losing what OEM systems do well: clean integration, familiar controls, and audio behavior that "just works." CB7 Pro is designed around that reality. It adds a richer environment when drivers want more flexibility than phone projection typically allows. CB7 Pro's most distinctive leap, however, is video—not as a single "camera feature," but as a deliberate choice based on how people actually drive. CB7 Pro introduces a dual‑mode video architecture. A shared interface can be configured for one of two outcomes (mutually exclusive), so customers choose the mode they will rely on most. In Wireless Video Input mode, pairing CB7 Pro with ATOTO's WR2A wireless video system enables practical viewpoints on the factory screen without running video cables through the car—such as a wireless reverse view for everyday parking, a wireless front view (front plate camera) for curbs and close maneuvers, and a wireless rear‑hatch/cabin view depending on camera placement for quick situational checks. In AHD DVR mode, CB7 Pro connects to a specified 1080p WDR camera for recording—and turns that DVR camera into something more than a dash cam. In this configuration, CB7 Pro is designed to support remote video calling and two‑way talk/intercom experiences using the DVR camera view (feature availability depends on configuration and software version). The difference versus a typical phone video call isn't "another way to talk"—it's the viewpoint: a mounted, stable, wide‑angle lens that can share what the camera sees. A family member can call in and, when it's safe to answer (or when a passenger handles the screen), the in‑car user can share the road ahead—the scenery on a trip, weather on the route, or a moment worth showing—without fumbling with a handheld phone camera. when someone borrows the vehicle, where sharing a clear road/cabin view can communicate conditions faster than a shaky handheld call. CB7 Pro also introduces an AI Vision roadmap built on cloud‑assisted photo analysis from the DVR camera feed. Example scenarios include recognizing road types such as mud, snow, or sand to surface context‑aware driving suggestions when relevant, and cabin‑view awareness designed for family comfort—such as checking on a rear‑seat baby or pet and offering gentle prompts in specific situations (one example: if rear passengers appear to be asleep, the system may suggest lowering audio volume). Additional AI Vision agents are planned for future software updates. CB7P – HDMI & Camera Integration Beyond video, CB7 Pro is designed to feel like an "upgrade of the whole experience," not just one feature. It includes AI assistance and car‑IoT functions intended to be useful day after day: DriveChat (powered by ChatGPT) brings voice interaction to the in‑car Android system—helping drivers launch apps, ask questions, and get online answers by voice (DriveChat controls CB7 Pro's software environment, not the vehicle's factory functions). CIoTHub + a compatible Bluetooth OBD‑II adapter enables vehicle data integration such as diagnostics and real‑time driving/vehicle data on the factory screen, turning the head unit into a more informative driving companion. TrackHU GPS Tracking adds practical security and family‑use tools such as real‑time location, trip/route history, and geofence alerts. AI ParkFinder is built for one of the most common "small stresses" in modern driving: forgetting exactly where you parked. It uses footage captured by the DVR camera during parking to record both the visual context and the location, making it easier to find the vehicle later via the SSHub app. CB7 Pro also expands what the factory screen can do for passengers and parked moments, with entertainment and extension features designed around flexibility: HDMI Input/Output supports connecting external sources such as game consoles or media players, and projecting to a rear/headrest display for passengers. A stand‑alone Android system enables split‑screen multitasking and direct use of Google Play apps—helping users go beyond the limits of CarPlay/Android Auto when appropriate (for example, richer tools and passenger/parked entertainment). SSRadio is designed to keep listening effortless, with a wide selection of preloaded internet radio stations available out of the box, and cloud syncing that lets users discover and add favorite stations from around the world. SSFrame brings a more human, calm cockpit feel when the system is idle by syncing photos from the cloud and displaying them as a screensaver—ideal for family moments and travel memories while parked. ATOTO emphasizes responsible use: camera views and video features are intended for passengers or when parked where legal. Drivers should remain focused on the road and comply with local regulations. Remote calling and AI Vision depend on the AHD DVR camera configuration, connectivity, and software version. Wireless Video Input mode and AHD DVR mode are mutually exclusive, as they share the same interface; customers choose the mode that best fits their priorities. Availability ATOTO CB7 Pro is available now on Indiegogo. Visit the campaign page here for more details:https://atotodirect.net/CB7Pro Following the crowdfunding campaign, CB7 Pro is planned to be offered through additional sales channels, including ATOTO's official website and major e-commerce platforms such as Amazon.
