Joint Venture for Ultra-Fast, High-Power Charging Along Major Highways in Europe
BMW Group, Daimler AG, Ford Motor Company and Volkswagen Group with Audi & Porsche Plan a Joint Venture for Ultra-Fast, High-Power Charging Along Major Highways in Europe
• Joint Venture to deploy a high-powered DC charging network for batteryelectric vehicles (BEV) covering long-distance travel routes in Europe
• Power levels up to 350 kW significantly reduce charging time compared to available systems
• Build-up of about 400 ultra-fast charging sites planned in Europe
• Network is based on the Combined Charging System (CCS) standard which uses a connector that is fully compatible with most current and next generations BEVs
• Unprecedented collaboration of the automakers would form a brand-independent network for charging infrastructure
Stuttgart. November 30, 2016 - BMW Group, Daimler AG, Ford Motor Company and Volkswagen Group with Audi and Porsche have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to create the highest-powered charging network in Europe. The goal is the quick build-up of a sizable number of stations in order to enable long-range travel for battery electric vehicle drivers. This will be an important step towards facilitating mass-market BEV adoption.
The projected ultra-fast high-powered charging network with power levels up to 350 kW will be significantly faster than the most powerful charging system deployed to-day. The build-up is planned to start in 2017. An initial target of about 400 sites in Europe is planned. By 2020 the customers should have access to thousands of high-powered charging points. The goal is to enable long-distance travel through open-network charging stations along highways and major thoroughfares, which has not been feasible for most BEV drivers to date. The charging experience is expected to evolve to be as convenient as refuelling at conventional gas stations.
The network will be based on Combined Charging System (CCS) standard technology. The planned charging infrastructure expands the existing technical standard for AC- and DC charging of electric vehicles to the next level of capacity for DC fast charging with up to 350 kW. BEVs that are engineered to accept this full power of the charge stations can recharge brand-independently in a fraction of the time of today’s BEVs. The network is intended to serve all CCS equipped vehicles to facilitate the BEV adoption in Europe.
BMW Group
“This high-power charging network provides motorists with another strong argument to move towards electric mobility”, says Harald Krüger, Chairman of the Board of Management of BMW AG. “The BMW Group has initiated numerous public charging infrastructure projects over the last years. The joint project is another major mile-stone clearly demonstrating that competitors are combining forces to ramp-up e-mobility.”
Daimler AG
“The breakthrough of e-mobility requires two things: convincing vehicles and a comprehensive charging infrastructure. With our new brand EQ, we are launching our electric product offensive: by 2025, our portfolio will include more than ten fully electric passenger cars. Together with our partners, we are now installing the highest-powered charging infrastructure in Europe”, says Dr. Dieter Zetsche, Chairman of the Board of Management of Daimler AG and Head of Mercedes-Benz Cars. "The availability of high-power stations allows long-distance e-mobility for the first time and will convince more and more customers to opt for an electric vehicle.”
Ford Motor Company
“A reliable, ultra-fast charging infrastructure is important for mass consumer adoption and has the potential to transform the possibilities for electric driving”, says Mark Fields, president and CEO, Ford Motor Company. “Ford is committed to developing vehicles and technologies that make people’s lives better, and this charging network will make it easier and more practical for customers across Europe to own electrified vehicles.”
AUDI AG
“We intend to create a network that allows our customers on long-distance trips to use a coffee break for recharging”, says Rupert Stadler, Chairman of the Board of Management of AUDI AG. “Reliable fast charging services are a key factor for drivers to choose an electric vehicle. With this cooperation we want to boost a broader market adoption of e-mobility and speed up the shift towards emission-free driving.”
Porsche AG
“There are two decisive aspects for us: ultra-fast charging and placing the charging stations at the right positions”, says Oliver Blume, Chairman of the Executive Board of Porsche AG. “Together, these two factors enable us to travel in an all-electrically powered car as in a conventional combustion engine vehicle. As automobile manufacturer, we actively shape our future, not only by developing all-electrically powered vehicles but by building up the necessary infrastructure as well.”
The automobile manufacturers intend to make substantial investments to create the network, underscoring each company’s belief in the future of electric mobility. While the founding partners – BMW Group, Daimler AG, Ford Motor Company and Volkswagen Group – will be equal partners in the Joint Venture, other automobile manufacturers will be encouraged to participate in the network to help establish convenient charging solutions for BEV customers. The Joint Venture is also open for cooperation with regional partners.
The Joint Venture formation is subject to execution of definitive agreements and merger control approval in various jurisdictions.

The management of Phuphobfah Co., Ltd., owner and developer of The Creston Hills luxury project in Khao Yai, announced today a ruling in its favour has been officially made after nearly a two-year dispute with the Department of National Parks, Wildlife & Plants Conservation, which claimed that the property had encroached on Khao Yai’s national park land.
“It has been a very stressful time for us, but it has been worth our determination in proving that our title deed and land were properly and legally acquired and that the disputed 1.98 rai of our land does not encroach the national park as claimed by the Department of National Parks”, revealed Mr. Nipon Pinsrisirirat, Executive Director of Phupobfa Co., Ltd. “It is a case that should never have occurred, and unfortunately, we lost sales opportunities valued at over THB 1 billion during the dispute period. However, our reputation is priceless, and it has been worth the fight, and hopefully paves the way for property owners to stand up for their rights. Now that our land has been cleared of any wrongdoing, we are confident that potential buyers will return and be even more confident in our development”, he added.
The Creston Hills project commands a total land area of 200 rai, and only 57 plots of land are available for discerning home seekers. Nestled in a valley surrounded by lush green forested hills, this exclusive development offers a selection of four American contemporary style homes to those who are looking for a vacation or retirement home to build on their plot of land, which is selling between THB 65,000 – THB 75,000 per square wah depending on size. The development also provides a safe gated community which will have every convenient amenity at its doorstep including a bank, supermarket providing fresh products from the local farms of Khao Yai, boutique handicraft shops, and restaurants.

CIMB THAI to be the first bank to open branch in convenient store
Another step of financial innovation for customer convenience
Renting space in 7-Eleven branch to reach retail customers
Mr. Adisorn Sermchaiwong (third from left), Senior Executive Vice President, Consumer Banking Group, CIMB Thai Bank announced that the Bank has recently opened a new branch Sitabutr Sub Branch which is located in 7-Eleven store, marking the first-ever Thai commercial bank branch located inside a convenience store.
CIMB THAI Sitabutr Sub Branch is established inside 7-Eleven Sitabutr 2, which is a newly opened store in an innovative design and broad space with available parking lot. This Bank branch provides account opening, deposit, SpeedSend, foreign currency exchange, personal loan and debit and credit card services.
The Digital Solution Engagement or DSE innovation is also introduced here, with quick credit approval requiring only presentation of national ID card.
“We do well in exploring and introducing new channels to provide more customer convenience. We have rented a space in a 7-Eleven store, the most popular convenience store chain in Thailand, in order to better reach out to retail customers. We have selected 7-Eleven Sitabutr 2 as a pilot branch from which we will be able to get customer feedback before further branch expansion decision,” said Mr. Adisorn.
CIMB THAI Head of Consumer Banking Group said that the Bank’s customer service strategy is to find ways to allow for customers’ quick, easy and convenient access to financial services. Although the Bank has earlier redefined its strategy on servicing channels and network and started to go digital, there are some transactions unable to do on mobile phones. Under certain circumstances and rules coupled with customer familiarity to traditional banking platform, we cannot go fully digital and have to carry on in parallel with exploring new convenient ways to better serve our customers.
At the same time, CIMB THAI has had its full-fledged branches transformed into a Wealth Center rendering advisory services on saving and investment to meet diverse demands of wealth customers. The service operation would then be redesigned to focus on availability of service spaces, private consulting rooms and investment experts.
Mr. Adisorn added that after changing the branch network strategy, despite the decreasing number of branches, we have recorded increase in business volume, with number of customers using services in general doubling from 20,000 to almost 50,000 (high net-worth customers), unchanged deposit portfolio and increase in investments by customers. This has reflected our success in strategy shifting to be more location-based that has drawn more responses from our customers. In overall, all branches in operation today are in areas of high business potential which, coupled with our elevated service standard, have well built customer satisfaction for the past few years.
“I see that CIMB THAI’s opening of a branch in a convenience store is a financial service innovation for our customers. We are no longer ‘one bank for all’ as in the past where customers of all segments, both large and small, walked into the same branch and used the same counter for services. Today, we give services by segment to respond to their diversified needs. We no longer stick to having service areas of our own.” said Mr. Adisorn finally.
CIMB THAI services available at Sitabutr Sub Branch
1. Opening of e-Savings account together with debit card application.

The Great Race is Back!!! As Requested, Ride to Khong’s Legendary 2 is Coming!
At the end of 2015, The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) held a Thailand Cycling Tour Competition, Ride to Khong’s Legendary (The Riders of Maekhong River) with the route from Nong Khai to Bueng Kan, Nakhon Phanom, and Mukdahan, with the distance of 248.8 kilometers that was considered as the challenging race for all Thai and foreign cyclists along the beautiful route and good culture of Thai-Isan people.
The last Ride to Khong’s Legendary was consisted of 3stages divided into Point-to-Point and Circuit-to-Circuit according to standards of Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI). Consequently, competitors could experience world class cycling competition that was rare and novel.
Importantly, the impressing moment of Ride to Khong’s Legendary (The Riders of Maekhong River) was a moment when competitors could amore the beauty of some important attractions and scenery along the route, for example, Wat Ahong Silawad (The Navel of Mekhong), Phratart Phranom, Thai-Lao Friendship Bridge, Ho Kaeo Mukdahan, and Phu Manorom, allowing cyclists to admire with local culture from attractions along the route as well as hospitality of local people who welcomed and gave morale to all competitors through their drinking water available for all cyclists throughout the route.
The last Ride to Khong’s Legendary gained good feedback from local people, Thai and foreign tourists, with the total number of competitors over than 1,200 persons. In addition, there were also some celebrities joined this competition, for example, Sum, a bass player of Clash Band, as a team member of Nich Cycling Team.
Feedback of this competition could be observed from opinions given through social media, such as Facebook and Pantip, as well as other off-line channels. Consequently, good preparation of host and organizer could be shown. Importantly, there was no accident throughout the competition. Before commencing the competition, the organizer and host also provided some knowledge and promptness to all cyclists. In addition, all cyclists also paid respect to competition’s rules completely. Accordingly, it could be deemed that the last competition was very successful.
As a result, TAT currently reorganized this activity to stress image and potential of cycling routes in Isan region under the name the Second Year Ride to Khong’s Legendary that will be held during December, 13th– 15th, 2017, through 4 Isan provinces including KhonKaen, Kalasin, Sakhon Nakhon, and Nakhon Phanom.
Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) told about the objective of this competition that Isan region is reselected as the route of this race because it can stress image of Isan region with variety of language, traditions, and beautiful nature as well as several places of civilization that have not been recognized by several people. Accordingly, Isan region is suitable for hosting cycling tour competition. Moreover, there are several cyclists and tourists who have been impressed by hospitality of Isan people.
Besides longer distance from 248.8 kilometers to be 300 kilometer that is considered as the challenging distance for all cyclists throughout the world, the first stage of this race is also adjusted as Critirium race for more challenging. In the second stage, cyclists will be able to challenge themselves by cycling through Khong Ping Ngu Curve on Phu Phan Mountain that is beautiful but challenging. Moreover, competitors will be able to experience with the beauty of several important attractions throughout the route as well as enjoy with the elegance of Mekhong River and surrounding nature that is considered as the new experience of tourism through cycling competition.
It is expected that there would be more Thai and foreign cyclists who would be interested in joining the Second Year Ride to Khong’s Legendary because sport tourism, especially cycling, tends to be increasingly interested by Thai and foreign tourists.
Simultaneously, this activity also helps to promote tourism of 4 provinces that are the route of this competition. Accordingly, this competition is considered as a good opportunity to generate income to Thai tourism because it’s not only cyclists that will join this competition but it is also included with cycling teams, followers, cheering teams, and audiences.

Hewlett Packard Enterprise Removes Barriers for Mass Adoption of IoT
New Solutions Enable Large Scale Wide Area, Enterprise and Industrial IoT Deployments
Bangkok – Jan 6, 2017 –Hewlett Packard Enterprise (NYSE: HPE) today announced new innovations that help organizations rapidly, securely and cost-effectively deploy Internet of Things (IoT) devices in wide area, enterprise and industrial deployments. These solutions include:
- HPE Mobile Virtual Network Enabler
- HPE Universal IoT Platform
- Aruba ClearPass Universal Profiler
- Aruba 2540 Series Switches
- Edgeline Systems expand partnerships in edge computing and integrated control
“Cost-prohibitive economics and the lack of a holistic solution are key barriers for mass adoption of IoT,” said Keerti Melkote, senior vice president and general manager, Hewlett Packard Enterprise. “By approaching IoT with innovations to expand our comprehensive framework built on edge infrastructure solutions, software platforms and technology ecosystem partners, HPE is addressing the cost, complexity and security concerns of organizations looking to enable a new class of services that will transform workplace and operational experiences.”
As organizations integrate IoT into mainstream operations, the onboarding and management of IoT devices remains costly and inefficient particularly at large scale. Concurrently, the diverse variations of IoT connectivity, protocols and security, prevent organizations from easily aggregating data across a heterogeneous fabric of connected things.
To deliver on IoT’s promise of deriving valuable insights from billions of connected things, HPE is helping organizations optimize the lifecycle of IoT devices. By reducing IoT connectivity costs and translating device communications to a common language, HPE is arming organizations with tools to dramatically change the economics and viability of large scale IoT deployments.
Improved IoT Economics in Wide Area IoT Deployments
To improve the economies of scale for massive IoT deployments over wide area networks, HPE is announcing the new HPE Mobile Virtual Network Enabler (MVNE) and enhancements to the HPE Universal IoT (UIoT) Platform.
HPE Mobile Virtual NetworkEnabler– The new HPE Mobile Virtual Network Enabler gives customers greater control over IoT devices that need cellular connectivity and services. It will foster the emergence of new, specialized IoT Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) that resell IoT connectivity directly to customers at price points optimized for large scale machine-to-machine (M2M) and IoT deployments. HPE MVNE provisioning, configuration, administration and billing services – paired with wide area mobile network operator coverage – change the economics of large-scale deployments by reducing IoT provisioning costs by up to 80 percent.
HPE Universal IoT Platform Designed for massive scale, multi-vendor and multi-network support using the oneM2M interoperability standard, the HPE Universal IoT Platform manages the HPE MVNE devices and provides multivendor IoT monitoring, reporting, and analytics services with carrier-grade reliability and scale. The platform supports long-range, low-power connectivity deployments such as LoRa and SIGFOX, as well as devices that use cellular, radio, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
New enhancements include:
- Lightweight M2M standards support– Delivers plug-and-play interoperability between IoT devices and UIoT services.
- Expanded device management– Allows management of both SIM and non-SIM based devices across different systems, devices, and applications.
- Increased LoRa gateway support– Enables the use of multiple LoRa gateways with a common set of applications to simplify device provisioning and control in heterogeneous LoRa environments
“For the full benefit of IoT to be realized by commercial interests and consumers alike, IoT sensor networks need to be deployable anywhere, reaching the most remote places on Earth,” said Paul Gudonis, President of Inmarsat’s Enterprise business. “The combination of Inmarsat’s industry-leading, global satellite network and HPE’s cloud-based Universal IoT Platform, allows enterprises to do exactly that. Our first project together in Precision Farming promises not only to create a new model for best practices in agriculture but is also an ideal go-to-market model of what our companies will be able to do across many other industries. We are extremely excited about this prospect.”
IoT Device Security in Local Area Networks
To deliver visibility and secure connectivity for large scale IoT deployments at the enterprise network edge, Aruba, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise company, announced the Aruba ClearPass Universal Profiler and the Aruba 2540 Series Switches. These new solutions identify and inventory all IoT devices as they connect to the network, and drive down the per-port cost of wired IoT connectivity.
The new ClearPass Universal Profiler automatically identifies the attributes of IoT devices as they attempt to connect to the network. This enables IT managers to catalog what IoT devices are on wired and wireless networks and assign the appropriate policies to each one. The Universal Profiler provides visibility and context regarding risk and performance issues derived via IoT devices.
The Aruba 2540 Series Switches further protect IoT devices with unified role-based access. This feature identifies and assigns roles to IoT devices as they connect, prioritizing business-critical applications and controlling which network resources the devices can access. The 2540 Series Switches are optimized for small-to-medium density IoT enterprise edge deployments.

Trend Micro 2017 Prediction: A New Year’s Resolution for Security
More Apple Security Flaws, Cyberattacks, Hacktivism
Bangkok – Thailand – January 11, 2017– Trend Micro Incorporated, the worldwide security solution leader, announced the yearly prediction report about security situation called “The Next Tier – 8 Security Predictions for 2017”, that predicted this 2017 to have more extensive and invasive attacks. Malicious attackers will use various strategies to take advantage of changing technologies.
“In 2017, cyber security industry will advance to new era after 2016 that many cybercriminals used more various vulnerability searching techniques and more various attacking channels.” Ms. Piyatida Tantrakul, Country Manager at Trend Micro (Thailand) Co., Ltd., said “We foresee the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) causing extensive data management changes for companies around the world, new attack methods threatening corporations, expanding ransomware tactics impacting more devices and cyber-propaganda swaying public opinion.”
In 2016, Discoveries of vulnerabilities on “Apple” platforms were much increasing. About 50 cases and 135 bugs were discovered in Adobe programs, and there were another 76 cases discovered on Microsoft platforms. Software vulnerability attacks are much increasing and will be steadily increased in 2017. Microsoft continues to improve its security so that the criminals would change their target to Apple’s operating systems that are more and more popular nowadays.
Mr. Khongsak Kortrakul, Senior Technical Manager of Trend Micro (Thailand) Co., Ltd., said that the report predicted the Business Email Compromise (BEC) and Business Process Compromise (BPC) problems would still be increased continuously because of their easiness and low cost. The attacks that lure preys to transfer money would make profits to cybercriminals as much as 140,000 US dollars by tricking an innocent employee to transfer fund to criminals’ accounts. Another method is to hack finance systems directly during operating time. Even the latter method looks difficult, but if it is success, they would make big money from this kind of attack that maybe as much as 81 million US dollars.
Khongsak also said that “we found cybercriminals improved themselves according to the changed technologies. Even there were many new ransomwares increased in 2016, but this growth would not be sustainable anymore, so the attackers will search for new methods with existing malwares. Meanwhile, the changing in IoT industry will open new opportunities for increasing attacks, and the change in software industry will make criminals to search for other kinds of vulnerabilities.”
To prepare for more Business Email Compromise (BEC) and Business Process Compromise (BPC) problems that would be more ferocious in this 2017, Trend Micro (Thailand) announced two security solutions: XGen Endpoint Security and TippingPoint IPS that will support organizations to prevent and resolve the problems occurred from those causes.
