- The G9L marks another step in XPENG's European localization strategy, combining local manufacturing in Europe with global vehicle development and standards.

GRAZ, Austria, Oct. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- XPeng Inc. ("XPENG" or "the Company,"NYSE: XPEV; HKEX: 9868), a leading global Physical AI company, today announces that its Next-Gen AI Flagship SUV G9L has successfully completed its first production trial at Magna in Graz, Austria, marking a new milestone in its European manufacturing expansion.

The G9L is the fourth XPENG model to undergo production at the Austrian facility, where XPENG's G6, G9 and P7+ are actively being produced. The milestone comes one year after XPENG and Magna began local production in Graz and signals the latest expansion of their European manufacturing partnership.

The first pre-production G9L will now travel 1,324 kilometers from Graz to Paris ahead of its global launch at the Paris Motor Show on October 12, putting the vehicle through a real-world journey focused on charging, safety and driving performance before it is displayed at XPENG's stand.

The milestone builds on XPENG's accelerating growth in Europe. The company has delivered more than 100,000 vehicles overseas to date, including over 60,000 in Europe. In France alone, more than 6,000 vehicles have been delivered since entering the market two years ago. In the second quarter of 2026, XPENG's overseas deliveries surpassed 20,000 units for the first time, up 81% year-on-year, with overseas markets contributing 25% of first-half revenue at an average selling price exceeding €40,000.

A Global Vehicle Built to Global Standards

The G9L is being developed as a global model, with plans to launch across 64 countries and regions. The vehicle has been developed and validated against global standards from the outset, and its global validation program has covered 26 countries and regions over three years, with approximately 6.74 million kilometers of road testing.

The G9L has completed 192 crash tests and more than 110 testing protocols, including validation for both left- and right-hand-drive configurations. It is engineered to meet four major global five-star safety standards (E-NCAP, A-NCAP, C-NCAP and C-IASI) and incorporates active and passive safety systems alongside redundant safety architecture.

The testing program also included an industry-first seven-stage "720-degree" safety challenge spanning land, water and air conditions.

Next-Gen AI Technology Meets Advanced Driving Dynamics

The G9L combines XPENG's latest AI capabilities with a chassis system designed to balance ride comfort and driving dynamics. Its standard chassis specification includes dual-chamber air suspension, intelligent variable damping and rear-wheel steering with up to 15 degrees of steering angle.

The rear-wheel steering system is designed to improve maneuverability at low speeds while supporting vehicle stability during higher-speed driving.

Deepening Local Manufacturing in Europe

XPENG's collaboration with Magna marks the company's first European local manufacturing program. Production at Magna's Graz facility officially began in the third quarter of 2025. One year into the partnership, the two companies are expanding their cooperation to support XPENG's growing portfolio of vehicles for European and global markets.

The G9L will be manufactured at Magna's Graz facility, a site with a long-standing track record in producing vehicles for premium automotive brands, combining Magna's experience in high-end vehicle manufacturing with XPENG's advanced electric vehicle and AI technologies.

"The G9L marks another important milestone in our collaboration with XPENG," said Roland Prettner, President of Magna Complete Vehicles. "It demonstrates how strong teamwork can translate XPENG's product vision and technical requirements into robust production processes, supported by our vehicle manufacturing expertise and a shared commitment to quality."

"The latest production milestone represents an important step in our journey from entering Europe to building for Europe. By combining global vehicle development and AI technology with established local manufacturing expertise, we are bringing the next-gen XPENG vehicles closer to customers in Europe and around the world," said Zhang Li, Vice President of Global Manufacturing at XPENG.

From Graz to Paris for the Global Premiere

The first European pre-production G9L will leave Graz for Paris ahead of its global debut on October 12. The 1,324-kilometer journey will provide a real-world demonstration of the vehicle's charging capability, safety systems and driving performance across Europe.

At the Paris Motor Show, XPENG will officially unveil the G9L to global audiences and open orders for its Next-Gen AI Flagship SUV, representing the latest step in its expansion of its European manufacturing and product portfolio as the company continues to develop vehicles to global standards and produce them locally to serve customers worldwide.

Nuix Neo Generative AI Framework

Governed, Enterprise-Grade Gen-AI Orchestration Layer for Unstructured Data Intelligence

SYDNEY, Oct. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Nuix (ASX: NXL) announces the Nuix Neo Generative AI (Gen AI) Framework, which directly addresses the governance, confidence, and auditability concerns that have limited the use of large language models (LLMs) and Gen AI in high-stakes legal, risk and investigation matters.

Nuix Neo's Gen AI Framework is a governed orchestration layer for putting Gen AI to work on organisations' structured and unstructured data, with the auditability, guardrails and cost control that enterprise use demands. It brings together audit-grade telemetry and policy-enforced guardrails to support evidentiary integrity and corporate usage controls for LLMs. It monitors and meters token usage to prevent runaway token costs as well as intelligently managing the context window to ground answers and strengthens the reliability of AI outputs.

The framework enables the responsible, auditable connection of a customer's selected LLM to enterprise data that is forensically and defensibly curated by the Nuix Neo platform. The Nuix Neo platform leverages over 25 years of R&D to deliver forensic-grade processing of an organisation's unstructured data and in doing so, provides a curated and forensically defensible data intelligence layer relied upon by hundreds of the world's most high-profile and high-stakes organisations. The Nuix Neo Gen AI Framework leverages this data intelligence layer and further tailors the experience to operationalise the application of customers' selected LLMs, for the kind of responsible and auditable application of Gen AI demanded by high-stakes organisations.

Under the Nuix Neo Gen AI Framework, customers retain the flexibility to choose the LLM and provider that best suits their requirements, with that flexibility designed to support the customers' choice of strategic goals, business objectives and innovation appetite. Nuix provides the governance framework that securely connects that model to the curated data intelligence layer delivered by the patented data processing engine in the Nuix Neo platform.

This enabled the LA County District Attorney's Office, for example, to select the AI models best suited to their business and then seamlessly integrate them into their Nuix Neo workflows.

Powerful application of the Nuix Neo Gen AI Framework

The Nuix Neo Gen AI Framework supports the delivery of two powerful capabilities known as Nuix Neo BYO AI and the Nuix Neo AI Agent, both of which leverage the framework's comprehensive enterprise-grade infrastructure to operationalise LLMs in a manner demanded by high-stakes organisations.

Nuix Neo BYO AI

Nuix Neo BYO AI leverages the Nuix Neo Gen AI Framework and further tailors it to enable thorough AI analysis across every item in a dataset. Rather than relying on other approaches that prioritise or sample subsets, it applies repeatable workflows to systematically process every item and then crafts structured reports, with links back to source items and citations for rapid and forensically defensible action, all the while providing clarity and control over key issues like token usage.

"With Nuix Neo's latest AI, we can move quickly to implement targeted solutions to digital evidence challenges and investigative bottlenecks, while satisfying our unique compliance needs. Being able to leverage the latest AI advancements while staying confined within our own environment is an accelerator," said Donn Hoffman, Chief Privacy Officer and Deputy District Attorney at Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office.

Nuix Neo Agentic AI

The Nuix Neo AI Agent, a conversational investigation capability built on the Gen AI Framework, is available for Early Adopter participants, via the Nuix Responsible Innovation Framework. The AI Agent extends the Nuix Neo platform, allowing analysts to interrogate their data with reasoning across text, metadata, and images, with access to the full power of Nuix's APIs, including enhanced context from a curated knowledge graph, in a consistent, auditable way. The AI Agent is fully integrated into Nuix Neo, allowing analysts to follow any lead, in a fully managed, controlled and secured fashion.

In addition to Nuix Neo's powerful data processing and deterministic AI capabilities, the Gen AI capabilities provide flexibility and choice to customers to apply the most appropriate tool for solving enterprise use cases. Like Nuix Neo BYO AI, the AI Agent operates on that curated, forensically processed dataset in the Nuix Neo platform. As with any Gen AI capability, outputs remain probabilistic and must be verified against source material and are intended to support, not replace, the judgement of qualified investigators, analysts, reviewers, and legal professionals.

Organisations interested in the Nuix Neo Responsible Innovation Framework program, or in seeing the Gen AI Framework in action, can contact their Nuix representative or visit nuix.com/nuix-neo for more information.

About Nuix

Nuix is a leading provider of investigative analytics and intelligence software, that empowers customers to be a force for good by finding truth in the digital world. We help customers collect, process and review large amounts of structured and unstructured data, making it searchable and actionable at scale and speed, with forensic accuracy.

SEEKOUT Strengthens Competitive Edge with Proprietary Design IP and Ergonomic Engineering, Advancing Toward Global Pet Lifestyle Brand Status

Company leverages in-house design capabilities and product planning expertise to deepen its push into overseas markets

SEOUL, South Korea, Oct. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- As premiumization continues across the global pet market — with design and the pet's user experience becoming as important as basic functionality — SEEKOUT is strengthening its overseas market strategy by leading with its proprietary design IP and product planning capabilities.

In the global pet care market, the growing view of companion animals as family members is reshaping the criteria consumers use to choose products. Beyond price and basic function, products that account for a pet's comfort and health as well as the owner's lifestyle are gaining attention, establishing the premium segment as a key area of the market.

In line with this trend, SEEKOUT develops premium pet mobility and lifestyle fabric products that combine functionality with design.

Drawing on its own design research, the company has focused on improving the practicality and overall quality of its products — applying ergonomic, load-distributing structures that ease the physical burden on owners traveling with their pets, and using fabrics selected for water resistance and durability.

SEEKOUT is also broadening the scope of its product development. Beyond its existing premium pet strollers and dog travel products, the company is adding cat-specific carriers and related lifestyle items, building a product portfolio tailored to different types of pets and their distinct characteristics.

The cat-specific products incorporate structures that reduce external stimuli and provide a sense of security, along with breathable materials and safety features, combined with SEEKOUT's fabric design capabilities. Through this, the company aims to differentiate its offerings from conventional, function-first pet carriers and meet the demands of global premium consumers.

SEEKOUT is also accelerating its overseas expansion. Building on its experience directly exporting premium pet strollers to Japan, the company is preparing to participate in overseas trade shows in the first half of 2027. Going forward, SEEKOUT plans to diversify its distribution channels beyond Japan into major premium pet markets such as North America and Europe, while expanding its global B2B and D2C touchpoints.

"In the global pet market, products that deliver functional value for pets while also satisfying the owner's lifestyle are becoming increasingly important," a SEEKOUT representative said. "We will continue to advance our proprietary design IP and pet mobility technology to grow into a global pet and lifestyle brand."

PAINSTUDY Inc. Accelerates Online-Offline Distribution Diversification, Pursues Growth into Global Wellness Brand

Functional healthcare brand expands domestic distribution and strengthens brand competitiveness for overseas expansion following launch of new muscle and joint patch line

SEOUL, South Korea, Oct. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Functional healthcare brand PAINSTUDY Inc. is expanding its domestic online and offline distribution channels and strengthening its brand competitiveness for global market entry, marking the launch of a new line of muscle and joint patches. The company's strategy is to grow beyond simple product sales into a comprehensive wellness brand that supports consumers' everyday health management.

PAINSTUDY develops and supplies functional healthcare products for modern consumers who experience muscle and joint discomfort in daily life. By analyzing contemporary lifestyles, the company has developed premium muscle and joint patches in-house with an emphasis on safety and ease of use, building its business around patch products that can be conveniently used in everyday settings.

A key focus of this latest expansion is the diversification of consumer touchpoints. PAINSTUDY has built its base of online consumers primarily through major e-commerce platforms such as Coupang and Naver Smart Store. Drawing on the customer feedback and operational experience accumulated in the online market, the company is launching its new line of functional patches while also planning to expand its distribution network into a variety of offline channels going forward.

Another element of PAINSTUDY's product strategy has been its ability to quickly identify consumer usage experiences and needs through its online channels and feed that insight back into product development. The company treats customer feedback not merely as product evaluation but as a resource for developing new and follow-up products. The new patch line was likewise planned based on customer feedback accumulated over time, combined with the company's own development know-how.

The products are focused on consumer demand for a more convenient way to manage everyday muscle and joint fatigue. They apply quality-controlled ingredients and ergonomic design to enhance safety and adhesion, positioning the company to respond to consumer demand for self-medication — managing one's own health condition as part of daily life.

PAINSTUDY sees this distribution diversification as the next stage of its brand growth. The plan is to strengthen its existing e-commerce-centered business foundation while also expanding opportunities for consumers to encounter its products offline, thereby raising brand awareness. By building consumer touchpoints that span both online and offline channels, the company aims to create a business structure that is not confined to any single sales channel.

The company is also broadening its product scope in stages. Leveraging the consumer feedback and product development experience it has gained through its muscle and joint patches, PAINSTUDY plans to develop a range of follow-up healthcare products. By continuously identifying and incorporating consumers' lifestyles and health management needs into its products, the company aims to grow, over the long term, from a muscle and joint care brand into a wellness brand that supports health management across everyday life more broadly.

In particular, the company plans to expand into overseas markets while simultaneously strengthening its product and distribution competitiveness at home. Building on the brand operation experience and consumer-centered product development approach it has developed in the domestic e-commerce market, PAINSTUDY is seeking opportunities to introduce its brand and products in overseas markets.

In its global business as well, the company plans to focus on building product competitiveness and brand foundations step by step, rather than pursuing rapid market expansion. PAINSTUDY intends to continuously broaden its product portfolio to respond to the needs of different national markets and consumers, while conveying the value of everyday health management and self-care that the brand pursues to consumers abroad as well.

"With the launch of this new product line, we plan to strengthen our brand presence in the domestic e-commerce market and expand our consumer touchpoints across a variety of offline distribution channels," a PAINSTUDY Inc. representative said. "We will continue to develop follow-up healthcare products that reflect real customer feedback, growing into a comprehensive wellness brand while actively pursuing new business opportunities in global markets as well."

WINAMAC, Ind., Oct. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Doral Renewables LLC ("Doral Renewables") celebrated today the imminent Commercial Operation of the Mammoth South, Mammoth Central I, and Mammoth Central II phases of the Mammoth Solar project. These three phases represent a combined capacity of 900 MWac that will be reaching commercial operation, and the completion of the entire Mammoth Solar complex, a 1.3 GW site, one of the largest operational solar projects in the country.

The three phases now coming online were constructed over 18 months. During peak construction, approximately 1,800 workers attended the site every day. At one point, an engineering logistics marvel was achieved as 20,000 panels per day were installed. During operations, Doral Renewables will explore multiple partnerships and efforts to deploy large-scale dual-use practices, also known as Agrivoltaics, which will include agricultural and farming activities inside the project area. Among others, the company is exploring specialty crops, sheep and cattle grazing, and an ongoing partnership with Purdue University.

"Today is the culmination of true partnership between the Pulaski County community and Doral", said Nick Cohen, President and CEO of Doral Renewables. "We started this project as a vision to bring a major economic development project to the county and an energy project to the state, and it grew beyond our wildest dreams. We are hoping to make this one of the leading dual-use sites in the country and further grow the partnership between Doral and local farmers."

Indiana's Secretary of Energy, Suzanne Jaworowski, also took part in the festivities. "In the world of economic development right now, every project is looking for speed to electrons. With demand for electricity skyrocketing, we need every electron we can get on the grid." Said Secretary Jaworowski. "We want to create an energy infrastructure that will draw economic development and do it in a way that preserves our way of life and our agricultural environment. This project is a great example of that."

Some of the project's partners in attendance emphasized its economic impact: "Mammoth Solar is a powerful example of what happens when we connect American manufacturing directly to American energy infrastructure—Indiana steel, made by Indiana local workers, built into an Indiana power plant, and generating electricity for Indiana communities," said Robert Vinje, Chief Operating Officer of Nextpower. "We're proud to partner with Doral and Bechtel on a project that delivers reliable, high-performance solar generation while creating lasting economic and agricultural value for the farmers, families, and communities that call Indiana home."

"We didn't do this alone. It's important to recognize the partnership and collaboration of the men and women who made this possible. What we take pride in is the unions that supported us, that answered the call every day: through the heat, through the snow and ice, through the rain, the good and the bad," commented Finley Lewis, Renewables Operations Manager for North America at Bechtel. "This was a project of commitment, of partnership, of dedication. The men and women of our union partners are why we're standing here today, and why this community will be able to enjoy clean power."
