  • “Pelancaran Volvo BZL-GML Eco Range: Langkah Ke Arah Masa Depan Elektrik Premium di Malaysia”

    “Pelancaran Volvo BZL-GML Eco Range: Langkah Ke Arah Masa Depan Elektrik Premium di Malaysia”

    Rapid Bus Sdn Bhd dan Volvo Buses telah menandatangani MOU untuk menjalankan operasi percubaan bas bandar elektrik baharu ini, yang dijadualkan akan bermula pada bulan Julai ini. Bas bandar elektrik premium berlantai rendah, Volvo BZL-GML Eco Range yang serba baharu, merupakan hasil kerjasama dua pengeluar terkemuka dalam industri bas antarabangsa dan tempatan, iaitu Volvo Buses dan Gemilang International Ltd. Ini bertujuan untuk menyediakan penyelesaian pengangkutan sifar emisi yang terkemuka di Malaysia.

    Volvo Buses yang merupakan sebahagian daripada Volvo Group, dan salah satu pengeluar utama penyelesaian pengangkutan lestari di seluruh dunia telah bersama-sama dengan Gemilang International Ltd (Gemilang), pengilang badan bas dan koc tempatan terbesar di Malaysia akan melancarkan model bas baru, Volvo BZL-GML Eco Range. Pelancaran ini memperkenalkan bas elektrik bandar kelas premium yang berlantai rendah dengan dua pintu pertama yang dibina di dalam negara oleh Volvo.

    Semasa majlis pelancaran, satu acara menandatangani perjanjian dengan Rapid Bus Sdn Bhd (“Rapid Bus”) turut diadakan untuk memuktamadkan pelaksanaan operasi percubaan yang melibatkan Volvo BZL-GML Eco Range untuk perkhidmatan bas Rapid KL, Kata Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif Rapid Bus, Muhammad Yazurin Sallij sebagai wakil syarikat tersebut. Operasi percubaan dijadualkan untuk bermula pada Julai 2024 dan dijangka berlangsung sekurang-kurangnya enam (6) bulan hingga satu (1) tahun. Sebuah unit bas elektrik Volvo BZL-GML Eco Range akan beroperasi di Laluan 581, iaitu perjalanan Desa Tasik – LRT Bandar Tasik Selatan.

    Bas tersebut mengintegrasikan pengalaman mobiliti elektrik Volvo di Eropah dengan inovasi dan kepakaran tempatan yang luar biasa dari Gemilang dalam menghasilkan badan bas elektrik. Bas ini akan menawarkan keselamatan, kecekapan, dan penyelesaian pengangkutan bebas emisi di kawasan bandar. Chasis dan komponen pacuan kuasa yang efisien tenaga daripada Volvo BZL telah dirangka dan dibina mengikut standard tertinggi di kilang pengeluaran Volvo di Sweden. Ia menggunakan bahan premium dan reka bentuk struktur yang canggih untuk memberikan kapasiti penyimpanan tenaga dan kekuatan terbaik.

    Menurut kedua-dua syarikat tersebut, bas bandar elektrik premium ini dijangka akan membawa transformasi yang signifikan dalam industri, sekaligus memperkasa pertumbuhan segmen bas elektrik di Malaysia dan mempercepat usaha menuju kepada masa depan yang lebih mapan.

    Menyokong Transformasi Sektor Pengangkutan Awam dan Aspirasi Neutral Karbon Malaysia

    Volvo BZL-GML Eco Range yang baharu menawarkan penyelesaian pengangkutan awam sifar emisi yang selaras dengan pelan Malaysia untuk meningkatkan penggunaan bas elektrik di bandar-bandar utama, terutamanya di Lembah Klang. Ini memberi sokongan kepada usaha elektrifikasi Rapid Bus, yang bercadang untuk menggantikan bas diesel dengan bas elektrik menjelang tahun 2030. Matlamatnya adalah untuk mengurangkan jejak karbon dalam sektor pengangkutan awam dan mengurangkan pencemaran udara di kawasan bandar. Langkah ini juga menyokong usaha kerajaan untuk menjadikan Malaysia sebagai negara yang neutral karbon menjelang tahun 2050.

    Volvo BZL-GML Eco Range merupakan penyelesaian yang inovatif dan mesra alam untuk kegunaan orang ramai. Dijangka dapat mengurangkan emisi karbon dioksida sehingga 60%, atau kira-kira 329kg bagi setiap penumpang setiap tahun untuk setiap perjalanan sejauh 15,000km, berbanding dengan bas diesel untuk jarak yang sama.

    Kos Operasi Efisien dan Kapasiti Penumpang Lebih Tinggi 

    Dibina di atas varian chasis Volvo BZL 4×2 yang terkenal kerana rangkaian kuasa elektrik yang terbukti di seluruh dunia, GML Eco Range binaan tempatan direka untuk menawarkan operasi bas bandar yang efisien. Ia menampilkan rekaan lantai rata sepenuhnya dan rendah dari bahagian hadapan ke belakang, memberikan kestabilan dan akses lebih mudah kepada penumpang.  

    Badan bas ini juga mempunyai reka bentuk modular yang boleh dibina mengikut keperluan pelanggan. Reka bentuk modular menyumbang kepada kos pembaikan yang lebih rendah, mengurangkan tempoh tidak dapat beroperasi dan memudahkan urusan penyimpanan alat ganti. 

    Bas ini boleh membawa sehingga 91 orang penumpang dengan kapasiti 33 tempat duduk termasuklah kerusi keselamatan, kerusi untuk golongan tertentu, kerusi boleh lipat dan ruang penumpang berdiri, bergantung kepada pilihan panjang badan bas. Badan bas ini boleh diubah suai dari sepanjang 10.6 hingga 12.5 meter. 

    Ketahanan luar biasa dengan Standard Keselamatan Global 

    Volvo BZL-GML Eco Range dibina di atas struktur tegar berasaskan kepada standard keselamatan paling ketat yang telah diuji, diaplikasi dan terbukti di Eropah. Rangkaian pacuan berkuasa dipasang dengan pelbagai teknologi brek termaju yang merangkumi brek cakera Volvo, Sistem Brek Elektronik (EBS), Sistem Brek Anti-Kunci (ABS), Acceleration Slip Regulator (ASR), Brake Blending, Bantuan Mula Mendaki (HAS) dan Kawalan Kestabilan Elektronik (ESC). Sebagai tambahan, ciri-ciri keselamatan lain seperti amaran pelepasan, amaran pelanggaran, kamera 360 dan e-cermin untuk membantu pemandu akan ditawarkan sebagai pilihan. 

    Chasis eletrik mempunyai sistem keselamatan multi lapisan dengan standard yang mematuhi syarat perundangan Eropah bagi memastikan tahap keselamatan maksimum sepanjang masa, terutama berkaitan dengan pengurusan suhu. Keselamatan sangat diambil berat dalam semua aspek Sistem Penyimpanan Tenaga bas tersebut. Ia melibatkan reka bentuk dan pek sel bateri, pencegahan litar pintas dan terputus sambungan, sistem pengurusan bateri serta kawalan pengurusan suhu bagi melindungi daripada kerosakan. 

    Dalam keadaan kerosakan yang agak mustahil untuk berlaku, sel bateri dan bahagian sekitarnya direka untuk ‘memadamkan dirinya sendiri’ dengan cara mengeluarkan agen menghapuskan suhu secara automatik supaya sel bateri berhampiran tidak rosak. Ciri itu terbukti berkesan dalam ujian yang telah dijalankan berulang-ulang kali. 

    Bas elektrik Volvo BZL-GML Eco Range menawarkan pengecasan yang fleksibel melalui perkakasan antara muka OppCharge untuk pengecasan berkuasa tinggi automatik dan soket pengecas CCS. Storan tenaga diletakkan di atas bumbung, sekali gus memberi ruang lebih luas kepada penumpang dan mengoptimumkan agihan berat. 

    Pengangkutan Urban Berkualiti 

    Bas Volvo BZL-GML Eco Range dilengkapi sistem pendingin udara yang berkuasa dan cekap. Ia disokong oleh Sistem Penyimpanan Tenaga yang mengoptimumkan bekalan tenaga supaya dapat digunakan dengan cara paling efisien.  

    Badan bas dibina menggunakan panel kaca dua salutan berkualiti tinggi yang membolehkan cahaya masuk ke dalam kabin pada waktu siang. Pada masa sama, kaca itu menghalang kemasukan haba panas matahari dan bunyi bising trafik dari luar.  Semua ciri ini menjanjikan perjalanan yang senyap dan selesa dalam sebuah kabin yang cerah, sejuk dan menenangkan kepada semua penumpang Volvo BZL-GML Eco Range, seterusnya meningkatkan pengalaman perjalanan mereka di kawasan bandar. 

    Ruang pemandu pula dilengkapi kluster instrumen supaya bas ini mudah dipandu. Kerusi keselamatan direka secara ergonomik dan mekanikalnya untuk menawarkan pelbagai ciri ubah suai yang mampu meningkatkan keselesaan pemanduan secara keseluruhannya. 

    Rangkaian kuasa yang mencecah 400 kW (540 hp) membuatkan pecutan dan keupayaan menaiki bukit Volvo BZL-GML Eco Range sangat mudah, malah ia menawarkan kuasa tork yang serta-merta. Bas bandar elektrik Volvo BZL-GML Eco Range dijangka mengubah masa depan pergerakan di kawasan bandar apabila menawarkan pengalaman berbeza kepada pemandu dan penumpang di Malaysia. 

    Pengurus Negara Volvo Buses Malaysia, Marcus Mak berkata “Sebagai penyedia penyelesaian pengangkutan global yang fokus kepada inovasi termaju, matlamat Volvo adalah untuk menawarkan sistem bas elektrik yang paling selamat dan bertanggungjawab kepada dunia. Kami percaya bahawa mobiliti elektrik merupakan salah satu penyelesaian terbaik yang memberikan masa depan lebih baik buat semua. Pengenalan Volvo BZL-GML Eco Range akan menyumbang kepada alam sekitar yang lebih lestari menerusi sifar emisi. Pada masa sama memainkan peranan penting dalam mengukuhkan rangkaian industri melalui peningkatan pemahaman terhadap teknologi mobiliti elektrik termaju.”

    Pengarah Eksekutif Gemilang International Ltd, Pang Jun Jie berkata, “Pengenalan trak Volvo BZL-GML Eco Range serba baharu hari ini ke pasaran tempatan memang tepat pada masanya kerana Rapid Bus sedang merancang untuk mengembangkan jumlah bas elektriknya sebagai sebahagian daripada program elektrifikasinya. Dengan kerangka badan aluminium, Volvo BZL-GML Eco Range menawarkan aspek ketahanan, tahap keselamatan dan prestasi alam sekitar luar biasa yang sesuai untuk digunakan sebagai kenderaan pengangkutan awam di Malaysia. Gemilang mempunyai matlamat yang sama dengan Volvo dalam mencapai kelestarian menerusi mobiliti elektrik, selari dengan inisiatif kerajaan untuk mengurangkan jejak karbon dan menggalakkan mobiliti hijau di Lembah Klang serta bandar-bandar utama yang lain.”

Drama bersiri sebanyak 12 episod ini bakal menemui pelanggan iQIYI bermula 17 Mei 2024, jam 9:00 malam.

    Menurut En. Jony Deng, Pengurus Besar iQIYI Malaysia & Singapura, iQIYI kini sedang mengintensifkan kehadirannya di pasaran Malaysia dengan menawarkan drama-drama berkualiti seperti MIHRAB CINTA ZULAIKHA. Drama ini direka khas untuk memenuhi permintaan penonton pada masa kini dan menyelaraskan dengan trend isu-isu semasa.

    “Drama MIHRAB CINTA ZULAIKHA diinspirasikan dari kejadian dan konflik sebenar dalam masyarakat kita yang menonjolkan kisah percintaan dan juga kekuatan dari segi moral. 

    “Selain itu, idea di sebalik penghasilan drama ini datangnya dari keinginan untuk meneroka tema-tema yang melibatkan keimanan, percintaan dan pengorbanan yang sering terjadi dalam masyarakat Malaysia,” katanya.

    Dalam drama ini, Zulaikha (Elisya Sandha) digambarkan sebagai seorang wanita yang tabah, mandiri, dan teguh pada prinsip agama. Dia bertanggung jawab atas pengurusan rumah anak yatim tetapi dihadapkan pada masalah kewangan apabila menghadapi ujian. Kehadiran Yusof Hakimi (Azrel Ismail) sebagai penyelamat yang membantu menyelesaikan masalah di rumah anak yatim membawa kepada lamaran Yusof kepada Zulaikha.

    “Setelah berkahwin, Zulaikha mendapat tahu kehidupan Yusof yang sebenar jauh daripada pegangan agama sepertimana yang disangkakannya. Mengeruhkan lagi situasi, Yusof sudah pun mempunyai kekasih. Pelbagai pergolakan yang berlaku ditambah ujian demi ujian menimpa diri Zulaikha, namun mampukah dia bertahan atau berserah pada takdir? Jangan lupa menontonnya di iQIYI,” tambah En. Jony.

    Setiap drama Original yang dihasilkan oleh iQIYI menekankan pada kualiti produksi, plot yang menarik, dan pemilihan cast yang tepat untuk membawa watak-watak itu hidup,” kata En. Jony. “Kami memilih pelakon berdasarkan kesesuaian mereka dengan karakter dalam drama dan kemampuan mereka untuk menarik perhatian penonton. Selain bakat lakonan yang hebat, setiap pelakon memiliki daya tarik yang khas yang membuat mereka unik.

    iQIYI memaklumkan bahawa drama ini disyorkan untuk penonton berumur 18 tahun ke atas. Penonton di bawah umur 18 tahun tidak digalakkan menonton kerana drama ini mempunyai konsep yang mendalam dan jalan cerita yang matang. En. Jony menambah, “Kerana faktor umur yang disyorkan, iQIYI telah menempatkan drama ini dalam senarai drama langganan VIP.”

    Sebagai pemain utama dalam platform penstriman, En. Jony menyatakan bahawa iQIYI bertekad untuk menjadi pelopor dalam bidang penyiaran atas talian. Dengan pengguna bulanan aktif mencapai 500 juta dan hampir 6 bilion jam hiburan dinikmati setiap bulan, iQIYI menonjol sebagai platform unggul dalam industri ini.

    “Bayangkan dunia di mana penceritaan tidak mengenal batas, di mana setiap bingkai adalah jendela budaya yang meriah dengan kisah yang belum terungkap.” 

    “Jadi, saya berharap drama MIHRAB CINTA ZULAIKHA akan menarik perhatian dan memikat hati penonton melalui kisahnya yang mendalam dan menginspirasikan, dan semoga drama ini tidak hanya memperkayakan pengalaman penonton tetapi juga akan meneroka dan memperluaskan pemahaman mereka tentang kekayaan budaya dan nilai-nilai moral melalui karya asli ini,” tambahnya lagi.

    According to Mr James Yu, General Manager of Messe Frankfurt (Shanghai) Co Ltd, CAPAS has established a solid presence in the industry over the last ten years. The exhibition this year was incredibly successful in highlighting the latest market trends, fostering global supply chain collaborations, and engaging consumers in the region. CAPAS has continuously expanded its reach and responsibilities to align with the progress of the automotive sector. This year, the show implemented a fresh initiative to foster collaboration between industry and education, with the goal of nurturing talent within the sector. These efforts have significantly improved the collaboration between industry and education in the field.

    China’s new energy vehicle sector is undergoing a significant expansion, and the Southwest region of the country is emerging as a prominent center for the development of new energy vehicles and connected mobility. With the aim of harnessing the collective power of the region, CAPAS 2024 showcased specialized pavilions from Chongqing and 15 other municipal regions in Sichuan province, such as Leshan, Nanchong, Yibin, and Ziyang. Exhibitors displayed cutting-edge advancements in vehicle manufacturing, connected mobility, and new energy vehicles from their local automotive industries within these pavilions.

    As an example, Yibin, a significant manufacturing center for batteries, put together a pavilion with 20 exhibitors showcasing a diverse range of electric and intelligent technology products. KAIYI AUTO proudly presented their latest SUV model, the i-HD, which was developed on their cutting-edge i-FA platform.

The comprehensive range of product categories, fringe events and business matching services at CAPAS helped audiences to learn more about our products and find targeted partners.”

    One overseas professional buyer, Mr Marco Estrada, CEO of Direcciones Hidráulicas “Marco”, offered his perspective: “With Mexico being China’s top vehicle export destination in Latin America, we’re excited that several Chinese new energy vehicle brands plan to establish local manufacturing operations within our country. This event allows us to not only source our targeted products, but also to explore the diverse range of offerings in the country’s new energy vehicle sector.”

    Fringe events offer valuable industry insights

We are grateful to CAPAS for providing a platform that allows us to directly connect with relevant companies, as this is important for tackling the skills gap in the market”.

    Ms Xuan Zeng, a student at Chengdu Engineering Techniacl Vocational School, commented: “I learnt a lot from the New Energy Vehicle Diagnostics and Repair Skills Training. It was my first exposure to the brand, TBA’s repair technologies for Tesla vehicles, and the career talk by a lecturer at Chengdu Wantong Future Advanced Technical School gave me inspiration for my future career path.”

    CAPAS also organised several livestreaming activities across the three-day show, which captured significant media interest. Through the wide broadcasting and reporting by local channels, these efforts offered the public a deeper understanding of how industry and education can be linked.

    Car Customising Festival
    Mr Ling Duan, Head of Sichuan Nanchong Zhergen Auto Shop, attended the Car Customising Festival at CAPAS and shared his thoughts on the experience: “Seeing one of the vehicles used in a film production was a definite highlight. At the festival, I established partnerships with several suppliers of custom vehicle wraps and colour wrap films. This experience gave me fresh inspiration for growing my business in the future, helped me stay on top of market trends and new product offerings, and share knowledge within our industry community.”

  • Exploring the Learning Curve: Unveiling the Foundation of Teaching AI New Languages

    Exploring Samsung Research centers worldwide, we delve into the cutting-edge mobile AI experiences that Samsung is spearheading. Discover how Galaxy AI is empowering users to unlock their full potential. Galaxy AI has expanded its language support to include 16 languages. This means that more individuals can now enhance their language skills, even without an internet connection. The on-device translation feature, which includes Live Translate, Interpreter, and Note Assist, enables users to conveniently translate text in various languages. However, the process of AI language development may be of interest to you. In this series, we explore the obstacles encountered while working with mobile AI and the strategies we employed to overcome them. Our first destination is Indonesia, where we explore the fascinating process of teaching AI to speak a new language.

    Samsung R&D Institute Indonesia (SRIN) suggests starting with setting goals. The foundation of great AI is high-quality, relevant data. The head of artificial intelligence at SRIN, Junaidillah Fadlil, recently added support for Bahasa Indonesia (the Indonesian language) to Galaxy AI, explaining that their team dove deep into understanding the linguistic needs and specific conditions of their country because every language demands a distinct manner to process this. “All processes for adding languages to Galaxy AI begin with us planning what information we need and can legally and ethically obtain,” the researchers explained, explaining that “local language development has to be led by insight and science.”

    Galaxy AI features such as Live Translate perform three core processes: automatic speech recognition (ASR), neural machine translation (NMT) and text-to-speech (TTS). Each process needs a distinct set of information.

    ASR, for instance, needs extensive recordings of speech in numerous environments, each paired with an accurate text transcription. Varying background noise levels help account for different environments. “It’s not enough just to add noises to recordings,” explains Muchlisin Adi Saputra, the team’s ASR lead. “In addition to the language data we obtained from authorized 3rd party partners, we must go out into coffee shops or working environments to record our own voices. This allows us to authentically capture unique sounds from real life, like people calling out or the clattering of keyboards.”

    The ever-changing nature of languages must also be considered. Saputra adds: “We need to keep up to date with the latest slang and how it is used, and mostly we find it on social media!”

    Next, NMT requires translation training data. “Translating Bahasa Indonesia is challenging,” says Muhamad Faisal, the team’s NMT lead. “Its extensive use of contextual and implicit meanings relies on social and situational cues, so we need numerous translated texts that the AI could reference for new words, foreign words, proper nouns, and idioms – any information that helps AI understand the context and rules of communication.”

    TTS then requires recordings that cover a range of voices and tones, with additional context on how parts of words sound in different circumstances. “Good voice recordings could do half the job and cover all the required phonemes (units of sound in speech) for the AI model,” adds Harits Abdurrohman, TTS lead. “If a voice actor did a great job in the earlier phase, the focus shifts to refining the AI model to clearly pronounce specific words.”

    Stronger Together

    It takes vast resources to plan for much data, and SRIN worked closely with linguistics experts. “This challenge requires creativity, resourcefulness and expertise in both Bahasa Indonesia and machine learning,” Fadlil reflects. “Samsung’s philosophy of open collaboration played a big part in getting the job done, as did our scale of operations and history of AI development.”

    Working with other Samsung Research centers around the world, the SRIN team was able to quickly adopt best practices and overcome the complexities of establishing data targets. Furthermore, collaboration was good for advancing not only technology but also culture. When the SRIN team joined their counterparts in Bangalore, India, they observed the local fasting customs, creating deeper connections and expanding their understanding of different cultures.

    For the team, Galaxy AI’s language expansion project took on a new significance. “We are particularly proud of our achievements here as this was our first AI project, and it won’t be our last as we continue to refine our models and improve the quality of output,” Fadlil concludes. “This expansion not only reflects our values of openness but also respects and incorporates our cultural identities through language.”

    In the next episode of The Learning Curve, we will head to Samsung R&D Institute Jordan to speak to the team who led Galaxy AI’s Arabic language project. Tune in to learn about the complexities of building and training an AI model for a language with diverse dialects.
