2025-01-30

TOKYO, Jan 30, 2025 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Thermal Systems, Ltd. (MHI Thermal Systems), a part of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) Group, has received the Agency for Natural Resources and Energy Commissioner's Award (Transportation Field) in the Best Products and Business Models category of the Energy Conservation Center, Japan's (ECCJ) 2024 Energy Conservation Grand Prize Awards, for its TEJ35AM electric-driven transport refrigeration unit(1) integrated with the ELF EV, an electric truck made by Isuzu Motors Ltd. (Isuzu). The award was shared by MHI Thermal Systems and Isuzu. The winning unit was cited for its ability to maintain a constant temperature inside the cargo room, enabled by sharing of battery power by TEJ35AM and ELF EV, and for its simultaneous contributions to CO2 reduction and energy savings. The awards ceremony was held in Tokyo on January 29.ECCJ's Energy Conservation Grand Prize Awards are presented in recognition of outstanding energy-saving initiatives at businesses or workplaces that should serve as model examples for other companies, or superior energy-saving products or business models. The awards program was created to contribute to the formation of an energy-saving society by spreading energy conservation awareness throughout Japan and promoting the adoption of energy-saving products. Previously, in 2019 MHI Thermal Systems received ECCJ's Energy Conservation Grand Prize in the Transportation Field for its TE20/TE30 Series of electric-driven refrigeration units(2).In the 2024 award-winning combination, the TEJ35AM and ELF EV achieves coordinated power control that gives priority to temperature control in the cargo room. The TEJ35AM operates at maximum capacity immediately after engine startup, enabling quick temperature control; and once the target temperature is reached, it operates with outstanding efficiency. Together these features realize waste-free operation using limited power. Combination with the ELF EV enables a 21.3% reduction in annual average energy consumption, 46.1% reduction in annual average CO2 emissions, and 42.2% reduction in annual energy costs compared to conventional refrigeration trucks(3), thereby contributing to decarbonization advancement and energy cost reduction.The TEJ35AM was launched in 2023 as an electric-driven transport refrigeration unit with a heat-pump heating function exclusively for EVs. Adoption of a heat-pump heating system enables simultaneous heating and cooling operations with outstanding efficiency. This duality enables the TEJ35AM to accommodate diverse transport modes, including simultaneous transport of products requiring multiple temperatures, to meet the needs of convenience stores and other users. Furthermore, because the refrigeration unit can be operated under all vehicle operating conditions - running, idling, parked or charging - the temperature inside the cargo room can be kept stable at all times, easing the need for the driver to continually check the cargo room temperature and battery power level.With receipt of the latest ECCJ award, MHI Thermal Systems renews its determination to develop technologies and products that will contribute to further CO2 reductions and energy savings. Also, going forward the Company will apply its integrated technological strengths derived from synergies realized from the breadth of its business areas - not only in the refrigerated transport field but also in thermal engineering targeting enhanced energy efficiency in plants of all kinds, large-scale refrigeration systems for temperature control in large spatial areas, air-conditioning products for creating diverse comfortable spaces, automotive air-conditioners, etc. - to provide optimal thermal solutions that respond to diverse customer needs.(1) For further information see the following press release: www.mhi.com/news/23033002.html(2) For further information see the following press release: www.mhi.com/news/200129.html(3) Figures are based on simulations comparing with earlier refrigeration trucks operated under delivery conditions assumed by MHI Thermal Systems and Isuzu.About MHI GroupMitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) Group is one of the world’s leading industrial groups, spanning energy, smart infrastructure, industrial machinery, aerospace and defense.

(SeaPRwire) - 法國總統伊曼紐·馬克宏希望在巴黎聖母院的窗戶上留下不朽印記的願望可能破滅，因為他提出的現代化設計方案面臨激烈的反對。據報導，馬克宏的計劃是將聖母院中殿南側廊六個小禮拜堂的大型窗戶，改以黃、粉、綠色現代風格的彩色玻璃取代。該媒體報導，總統的助手表示，重新設計的目的是為了提醒後代2019年吞噬這座中世紀建築的大火。然而，該計劃引發了強烈反彈，藝術史學家和建築師們認為，如果安裝更現代化的窗戶，聖母院設計的和諧性將受到威脅。法國國家遺產與建築委員會在7月份一致投票反對，導致一位參與設計新彩色玻璃窗的藝術家退出比賽。67歲的帕斯卡·孔維爾（Pascal Convert）告訴該媒體：「當我讀到這則消息時，我就說，『我們要停止一切。』」澳洲弗林德斯大學考古學教授克萊爾·史密斯（Claire Smith）告訴該媒體，馬克宏正以「機會主義和自我吹噓」的方式「將自己融入」聖母院。法國極右翼反對黨領袖瑪琳·勒龐（Marine Le Pen）上個月在X平台上寫道：「領導人不能一時興起玷污這份無價的遺產」，指的是窗戶爭議。預計馬克宏的計劃將在法國的法院系統中遭到反對。這座大教堂上個月在巴黎重新開放，開幕儀式由當時的美國總統當選人、當時的第一夫人吉爾·拜登、威廉王子和其他知名人士出席。木匠們像中世紀的同行一樣手工操作，他們砍伐巨大的橡木樑，重建在大火中倒塌的屋頂和尖頂。大火發生後的幾天內，籌集了近10億美元的捐款。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈，覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者，以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

前哈瑪斯人質詳述被囚禁的恐怖經歷，稱被綁架的以色列士兵救了她一命

2025-01-30

(SeaPRwire) - 前人質阿米特·蘇薩娜分享了她被囚禁期間的更多細節，並表示另一名人質對她的生存至關重要。10月7日被綁架的以色列國防軍士兵之一利里·阿爾巴格「拯救」了蘇薩娜。蘇薩娜在以色列電視台的採訪中回憶道，她的綁匪把她綁起來並毆打她，要求她承認自己是以色列國防軍（IDF）成員。蘇薩娜說她的手腳被綁，她被棍子打，然後一個綁匪用槍指着她說：「你有40分鐘的時間告訴我們真相，否則我就殺了你。」另一名人質阿爾巴格顯然能夠讓綁匪相信蘇薩娜事實上並不在軍隊中。蘇薩娜稱阿爾巴格「與眾不同，一股力量」，她相信這一行為救了她一命。「當她回來時，我告訴她：『我不知道他們是否會殺了我；就我而言，你救了我一命，』蘇薩娜在採訪中說道。在……期間，哈瑪斯恐怖分子從她在基布茲·克法爾阿扎的家綁架了蘇薩娜。她被迫穿着睡衣赤腳從她燃燒的房子走到加薩邊境，沿途遭到毆打。蘇薩娜與綁匪進行了一場被稱為「我一生中的戰鬥」的搏鬥，試圖拖延他們，希望以色列國防軍在她被拖進加薩之前救出她。蘇薩娜在被囚禁55天後，於2023年11月作為以色列與哈瑪斯首次人質協議的一部分獲釋。2024年3月，蘇薩娜成為首位公開談論在哈瑪斯囚禁期間遭受性侵犯的以色列女性。她在接受《紐約時報》採訪時回憶了這一可怕事件。 2024年10月，她在聯合國安全理事會上講述了她的經歷。在被囚禁期間，蘇薩娜的腳踝被鎖鏈鎖住，無法移動。「我必須請求允許去洗手間，」她解釋說，並詳細描述了她的經歷。「在那所房子裡，我遭到看守我的哈瑪斯恐怖分子的性侵犯。」她描述了這次襲擊，說道：「他強迫我進入淋浴間，然後進了房間，用槍指着我。他呼吸沉重，臉上有着一幅怪物般的野獸表情。」她回憶起他坐在她旁邊穿着內衣，撩起她的襯衫並觸摸她時，他咄咄逼人的盤問。「我清楚地知道他打算做什麼，但我卻無法阻止他。我完全無助。」蘇薩娜說，襲擊後她「不被允許哭泣或悲傷」。她回憶起感到孤立無援，並「被迫對剛性侵犯她的人表現得很好」。自2023年10月7日恐怖組織發動毀滅性的突然襲擊以來，……已經持續了15個多月的致命戰爭。根據目前與以色列的停火協議，哈瑪斯預計將於1月30日釋放阿甘·伯格爾、阿爾貝爾·耶胡德和80歲的加迪·摩西。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈，覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者，以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

印度莫迪與「摯友」總統特朗普通話，冀進一步深化雙邊關係 “`

2025-01-30

(SeaPRwire) - 唐納德·特朗普總統重返白宮在全球引發漣漪，但印度對他的第二個任期仍持樂觀態度。在特朗普總統就職一周多後，印度正在表明其準備適應他那種注重交易的外交風格。星期一，特朗普與印度總理納倫德拉·莫迪進行了一次「富有成效的通話」，重點是「擴大並深化合作」。根據白宮的簡報，兩位領導人討論了地緣政治問題和雙邊貿易。特朗普強調，印度增加購買美國製造的安全設備以幫助平衡兩國之間的貿易關係的重要性。據信，此次通話是特朗普自重新上任以來與外國領導人進行的首次通話之一。「人們對美印關係抱有很高期望，因為特朗普已經上任。鑑於他們相似的世界觀和治理風格，他和莫迪之間有著良好的化學反應，」威爾遜中心的南亞研究所所長邁克爾·庫格爾曼告訴Digital。莫迪與特朗普保持著牢固的關係和個人聯繫。「我們與印度有著非常良好的關係，」特朗普在與莫迪通話後在空軍一號上告訴記者。2020年，莫迪在其家鄉古吉拉特邦為特朗普舉辦了一場集會，兩位領導人在超過11萬人的面前相互讚賞。前一年，特朗普將莫迪比作貓王埃爾維斯·普雷斯利，因為他能夠在德克薩斯州的聯合集會上吸引大量人群。然而，特朗普大規模的打擊移民的行動引起了一些印度人的擔憂。根據皮尤研究中心的研究，印度是美國移民的主要來源國之一。截至2022年，估計有72.5萬印度人非法居住在美國。此外，僅在2024財年，海關和邊境保護局就遇到了近90,500名印度公民。移民問題的不安也來自於，作為印度人最常見的合法入境途徑之一，一直是特朗普支持者熱烈爭論的話題。然而，星期一，特朗普駁回了移民方面的擔憂，並表示相信印度會「做正確的事情」。貿易是另一個可能影響美印關係的爭議點。就在特朗普與莫迪通話後的第二天，他譴責印度、中國和巴西是「巨大的關稅製造者」。特朗普在佛羅里達州對眾議院共和黨人發表講話時強調，這些國家對美國徵收高額關稅，損害了美國的利益。他強調了針對這些國家的計劃，並斷言：「我們不會再讓這種情況發生了，因為我們要將美國放在第一位。」特朗普在其總統競選活動中威脅要對進口商品徵收高額關稅，並抨擊印度是「一個非常大的濫用者」。在他第一個任期內，特朗普在貿易分歧中將印度稱為「關稅之王」。2019年，他撤銷了印度的特殊貿易優惠。作為報復，印度對超過20多種美國商品徵收關稅。印度作為一個崛起中的全球參與者，尋求增強與美國的貿易聯繫，尤其是在特朗普的國際關稅威脅面前。特朗普提議對所有國際進口商品徵收10%或20%的「普遍」稅，印度也不例外。印度是世界第五大經濟體，旨在促進與美國的雙邊貿易，同時減少對中國的依賴。這兩個國家是印度最大的貿易夥伴。最近的法律指控也考驗了印度和美國之間的關係。去年，美國檢察官指控印度政府官員策劃暗殺一名美國公民，地點在美國境內。幾個月後，司法部以欺詐和賄賂罪起訴了印度大亨高塔姆·阿達尼。儘管面臨這些挑戰，雙邊關係依然持續。「肯定會有一些挑戰需要應對，其中一些是繼承自拜登政府的——例如司法部對據稱印度政府參與紐約一起謀殺陰謀的調查，還有一些是新的挑戰，例如貿易問題，」庫格爾曼解釋說。「但我們可以從新德里最近的信號中看出，它已準備好採取先發制人的行動，以降低緊張局勢的風險。」在特朗普上任後的幾天裡，印度表示將探討降低關稅、遣返一些非法印度移民以及增加進口美國石油以減少從俄羅斯的進口。隨著印度努力加強與美國的國防、科技和貿易聯繫，印度表示相信，與其他國家相比，它更有能力應對特朗普「美國優先」政府。「我知道今天很多國家都擔心美國，讓我們誠實地說。我們不是其中之一，」印度外交部長S·賈尚卡博士在11月大選後幾天表示。華盛頓將印度（世界最大的民主國家）視為對抗中國日益增長的強勢的制衡力量。此外，特朗普基本上不關心莫迪的政策，這些政策已被許多全球領導人認為是有問題的。兩者在風格和言辭上是一致的，尤其是在民族自豪感方面。庫格爾曼告訴Digital：「美國和印度將繼續在許多重要的政策和戰略上趨於一致，其中最主要的是共同應對中國。」特朗普政府還有一些著名的印度裔美國人。他提名的聯邦調查局局長人選本周將面臨一場高風險的參議院確認聽證會。如果獲得確認，他將成為聯邦調查局第一位印度裔領導人，也是最年輕的局長。特朗普還提名傑伊·巴塔查里亞博士為國家衛生研究院院長，並提名哈米特·K·迪隆為民權助理檢察長。其他人，如前2024年總統候選人，以及人工智能高級政策顧問Sriram Krishnan，已經在政府中擔任重要的顧問職務。雖然他們給許多印度移民帶來了希望，但作為第一代印度人的克里希南卻成為了一個「讓美國再次偉大」的閃電棒。此外，雖然不是內閣成員，但副總統JD·萬斯的妻子烏莎是第一位擔任第二夫人的印度裔女性。印度對在特朗普的領導下加強與美國的關係仍然樂觀，認為這是一個進一步推進其在全球舞台上戰略利益的機會。莫迪預計最早在下個月會見特朗普。同時，特朗普預計將在今年晚些時候訪問印度，出席新德里主辦的峰會。「事實是，印度，這個擁有民族主義政府和作為崛起大國的強烈自信的國家，會如此迅速且公開地承認願意考慮向美國做出讓步，這充分說明了它有多麼希望其與華盛頓的夥伴關係在特朗普第二個政府中能夠奏效，」庫格爾曼說。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈，覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者，以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。 ```
