Adds Singapore Electric Vehicle Center of Excellence to its network in the region, covering every segment in the electric vehicles supply chain Customized solutions in more than 10 countries across Asia Pacific Safety and compliance at the core of solution design to cater to rising demand as Asia drives the electric vehicles sector forward SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 3 March 2025 – DHL Group (DHL), the world’s leading logistics company, is enhancing its end-to-end EV logistics and supply chain solutions for the Asia Pacific market, with the opening of three Electric Vehicle (EV) Centers of Excellence (COEs) within the region in 2024. These COEs build on DHL’s offering of customized solutions covering capital equipment for new EV-related factories, inbound-to-manufacturing (I2M), finished vehicles and aftermarket logistics in the region. DHL supports the electric vehicle sector growth in Asia Pacific “Over the next five years, Asia is expected to account for 63% of the new 115 million EVs sold worldwide.[1] A robust and compliant logistics supply chain ecosystem is needed to support this growing demand, and our EV Centers of Excellence in Shanghai, Singapore, and Indonesia serve as hubs of competencies and resources for the growing EV industry across the Asia Pacific , ” said Fathi Tlatli, Global Auto-Mobility Sector President, DHL Customer Solutions and Innovation. EV COEs to provide a network of expertise in Asia An EV COE is a center of knowledge and know-how, showcasing existing EV logistics expertise, capability, and resources and demonstrating DHL Group’s commitment to further enhance its EV offerings. These centers cover a wide range of solutions, offering modular and integrated end-to-end logistics across the EV supply chain. The three EV COEs in China, Singapore and Indonesia are connected to a global network of COEs in 10 countries including Italy, United Kingdom, Mexico and the United Arab of Emirates. “When people think of EVs, it is often associated with the finished vehicle itself. However, there is an entire complex ecosystem behind the EV value chain, which is crucial in orchestrating the process. That is our advantage as DHL Group, as we can offer customized solutions for every segment utilizing our expertise and our extensive global network,” said Audrey Gerard, Vice President of Auto-Mobility, Asia Pacific, DHL Customer Solutions and Innovation. EV COEs will also be established in other countries with an existing EV footprint and expertise, such as India, Japan, Malaysia and Thailand. DHL Group will continue focusing on the EV sector, with the New Energy sector identified as a key growth area in its Strategy 2030. As the sector matures, there is an increasing need to repurpose end-of-life EV parts and batteries or recycle them for raw materials. “This segment will require complex logistics support, which we are exploring in the region leveraging solutions implemented in Europe and the Middle East networks as well as a market-leading cross-border road freight network in the ASEAN region,” said Tlatli. Customized EV Solutions on showcase at the new EV COEs Capital equipment and battery materials for gigafactories For companies expanding their mining of EV battery minerals and battery manufacturing operations globally, DHL Group offers the management of the entire process, from capital equipment logistics to the supply of battery materials such as electrolytes and processed minerals.

Control towers oversee these solutions, managing the suppliers and tracking end-to-end temperature, humidity, and geolocalization data to ensure safety and performance. At the assembly plant, DHL supports in-plant logistics solutions, such as processing the arrival of material from vendors, storing, picking, and kitting. Air transport of smaller battery cells, modules, and critical components for urgent shipments is offered to prevent disruptions. Finished EVs DHL’s network of specialists has worked on electric vehicle-in-container solutions for mass market distribution, and air freight services for prototypes and critical vehicle shipments.

The property has a total building area of approximately 7,501 square feet (Not verified.) and is currently listed at HKD 85 million with existing tenancies. Acquired and renovated by a fund in October 2021, the property features three shops, generating around HKD 80,000 per month. The residential section comprises 50 rooms, managed by IRENT as student apartments. According to IRENT’s website, room rentals inclusive of management fees range from HKD 6,610 to HKD 9,240 and occupancy levels are high. There is potential to upgrade the rooms to all include an ensuite bathrooms, which would further enhance rental returns. Additionally, the property can be sold as a company, offering investors greater flexibility and convenience. The location boasts excellent connectivity, with Ho Man Tin MTR Station just a 6-minute walk away, and both Hung Hom MTR Station and Whampoa MTR Station approximately 10 minutes on foot. The Hong Kong Polytechnic is about a 15-minute walk from the property and Metropolitan University is just a 19-minutue walk away. Situated in Hung Hom, it is adjacent to the new residential project Baker Circle developed by Henderson Land and the Onmantin development atop Ho Man Tin MTR Station by Great Eagle. The surrounding neighborhood features numerous shops and dining options, providing convenient amenities to meet diverse needs. Mr. Alvin Lau, Director of Capital Markets in Cushman & Wakefield, stated: “In the 2024 Policy Address, the government reaffirmed its commitment to establishing a ‘Study in Hong Kong’ brand by increasing the quota for non-local students from 20% to 40%. This initiative is expected to attract a greater number of non-local students to pursue their studies in Hong Kong, resulting in a projected shortage of at least 55,400 university accommodation places. Due to the insufficient availability of on-campus accommodation, students who are unable to secure university accommodations will inevitably turn to the private market. This strong demand presents significant business opportunities for both private real estate investors and student hostel operators. As private student accommodations are specifically designed for students, investing in student apartments has increasingly become a popular choice. It offers investors stable rental income, making it an attractive option for long-term investment strategies.

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 3 March 2025 – Kai Tak Sports Park (KTSP) officially opened on 1 March 2025 as the largest integrated sports and entertainment complex in Hong Kong, setting a new benchmark in design innovation and engineering excellence. With Arup as the engineering consultant, KTSP is designed to cater to the city’s unique urban environment and its vibrant community, providing an unparalleled experience for visitors and spectators alike. “Kai Tak Sports Park is a testament to our commitment to pushing the boundaries of design, innovation, and sustainability. We’re immensely proud to help realise this new icon for Hong Kong, which will promote community sports and support the hosting of international events in our city.” – Michael Kwok, East Asia Region Chair, Arup A venue like no other Central to the park is the 50,000-seat Kai Tak Stadium, dubbed as the ‘Pearl of the Orient’. Designed to address Hong Kong’s humid sub-tropical climate, the stadium features one of the world’s largest retractable roofs and a flexible pitch surface, allowing the venue to host a variety of events in any weather. The retractable roof, weighing nearly 4,800 tonnes, operates quietly and can open or close in just 30 minutes using advanced mechanisms similar to railway technology. To support this massive roof, Arup engineered a bespoke structure with four mega trusses spanning between 150m to 180m, anchoring on four bearing-free reinforced concrete towers at the corners to ensure an unobstructed view for every spectator. Building information modelling (BIM) was fully adopted to optimise the structural design, ensuring constructability and minimising steel use. Given the stadium’s proximity to residential areas, the retractable roof is acoustically sealed when closed, using sound-proof barriers and heavy cladding panels to dampen low-frequency sound, making the stadium one of the most efficient soundproofing sports facilities in the world. Spectator experience redefined The stadium boasts a pioneering air-conditioning system activated when the roof is closed. This system adopts a bowl cooling method with individual outlets beneath each seat, circulating cool air in spectator areas without having to cool the entire stadium. This approach optimises spectator comfort while enhancing energy efficiency. The successful implementation of this system is a result of the meticulous coordination and integration between structural and MEP engineering. Advanced precast construction techniques have been used alongside an innovative multi-trade integrated MEP (MiMEP) design approach, setting high standards in both functionality and sustainability. Seamless accessibility for visitors Pedestrian access to KTSP is seamlessly integrated at the podium level, ensuring safe and convenient visitor movement without the need to cross busy roads. The facilities throughout the park are interconnected through thoughtfully designed paths and walkways, enhancing the visitor experience. Arup’s total engineering services for KTSP extend to the 10,000-seat Kai Tak Arena, the 5,000-seat Youth Sports Ground, and various retail and leisure spaces. “Working closely with our clients and partners, our multidisciplinary engineering team has overcome numerous challenges to bring Kai Tak Sports Park to life. We’ve accomplished something incredible together, delivering a vibrant hub that will enrich the community.” – Ben Lam, Project Director of Kai Tak Sports Park, Arup Working in close collaboration with the Culture, Sports and Tourism Bureau, Kai Tak Sports Park Limited, Hip Hing Engineering Co. Ltd, Populous, Simon Kwan & Associates Ltd., and ADI Limited, Arup provided civil, structural, geotechnical and building services engineering, as well as traffic, fire engineering, façade, acoustics, audio-visual, sports lighting, advanced digital engineering, security, environmental and sustainability consulting.Hashtag: #Arup The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.
