AUPU's ARCHIDEX 2025 Triumph: Redefining Home Comfort in SE Asia
The brand's success hinges on three key pillars: functionality, wellness, and localization. Take the Beauty Fan & Heater: beyond heating and ventilation, its integration of infrared therapy taps into rising consumer demand for "wellness-at-home" solutions, blending utility with self-care—a trend resonating strongly across urban Southeast Asia.
In humid markets like Malaysia, the Cloth Dryer addressed a critical gap. Its ceiling-mounted design, UV sterilization, and rapid drying capabilities directly solve moisture-related challenges, aligning with local needs for space efficiency and hygiene. Attendees—from architects to homeowners—praised its ability to merge practicality with regional relevance, a hallmark of AUPU's market positioning.
The Central Kitchen Air Conditioner further demonstrated this approach. Traditional ACs struggle in kitchens due to grease and heat, but AUPU's specialized design—with targeted airflow and durable components—reimagines cooking spaces as comfortable, usable areas. This innovation reflects a deep understanding of how families live: kitchens aren't just for cooking; they're social hubs.
Technologically, AUPU's edge lies in seamless integration. AI-powered temperature regulation, motion-sensing ventilation, and smart energy management aren't add-ons—they're core to the user experience. These features don't just boost performance; they reduce operational hassle, a key differentiator in a crowded market.
Looking ahead, AUPU's upcoming Kuala Lumpur flagship store (S-01-05, D'Rapport Ampang) signals more than expansion—it's a commitment to accessibility. By moving from exhibition halls to a physical retail hub, the brand bridges the gap between innovation and adoption, making premium comfort tech tangible for Malaysian households.
In short, ARCHIDEX 2025 wasn't just a win for AUPU—it was proof that home comfort, when rooted in local needs and smart tech, can redefine how we live.

Chery Group climbs fortune 500, OMODA&JAECOO break industry record with 570,000 sales
OMODA&JAECOO, the dynamic automotive brands under Chery Group, have once again reinforced their global standing as Chery Group secured the 233rd position on the Fortune Global 500 list, climbing 152 places compared to last year. This milestone highlights the company's continued focus on innovation, global growth, and the rapid success of its new energy vehicles (NEVs). In just 26 months since their launch, OMODA&JAECOO have achieved over 570,000 cumulative global sales, becoming the fastest emerging brands in the industry to cross the half-million-unit milestone. In the first half of 2025, the brands' contribution to Chery Group's export volume grew to 37%, up from 21% in 2023. OMODA&JAECOO have quickly established themselves as global leaders in hybrid technology. In the first quarter of 2025, the brands' NEV sales surged by 460% year-on-year, with NEVs now accounting for 51% of total sales. The JAECOO J7 SHS (Super Hybrid System), the brands' flagship model equipped with proprietary SHS technology, has been the driving force behind this growth. The model continues to achieve monthly sales exceeding 10,000 units, leading the hybrid market in multiple regions and setting a benchmark for efficiency, performance, and sustainability. In the first half of 2025, Chery Group sold 1.26 million vehicles globally, up 14.5% year-on-year, and exported 550,000 vehicles — accounting for 20% of China's total automobile exports. A Chery-made vehicle is sold overseas every 29 seconds, showcasing the group's strong presence in international markets. Chery Group's NEV sales also reached 360,000 units, up 98.6% year-on-year, leading the industry in both volume and growth. Through cutting-edge innovations in hybrid technology, intelligent mobility, and safety systems, Chery and OMODA&JAECOO continue to provide consumers with smarter, greener, and more connected vehicles. At present, OMODA&JAECOO offer only petrol models in the UAE, but as one of the brand's key strategic markets, the country is set to benefit from its advanced hybrid offerings. The JAECOO J7 SHS (Super Hybrid System), scheduled for launch by the end of August, will be a major highlight for UAE consumers seeking performance, efficiency, and low environmental impact in urban driving conditions. With OMODA focused on becoming the leading global crossover brand and JAECOO shaping its identity as a refined urban SUV brand, both brands are positioned to meet the evolving demands of UAE customers. "Our new energy vehicles have been achieving strong sales performance in global markets, and this success on the global stage reflects our commitment to the UAE and wider Middle East markets. With advanced hybrid solutions and stylish, high-performance crossovers, OMODA&JAECOO will continue to deliver vehicles that align with the UAE's vision for sustainable mobility," said Shawn Xu, CEO of OMODA & JAECOO Automobile International. "In the UAE, we currently have the J7, J8, and C5 available. The J5 will be launched soon, and later this year, we will gradually roll out the J7 SHS (Super Hybrid System), J8 SHS, and C7 SHS," added Xu.
