HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 7 January 2025 – TESSAN, a global leader in travel charging solutions, has officially announced its collaboration with renowned American singer-songwriter Rachael Yamagata. As part of this collaboration, TESSAN has premiered an exclusive documentary on YouTube, offering an intimate look at Rachael’s artistic journey and philosophy. The film delves into her deeply personal reflections on music and life’s many journeys, unveiling untold creative stories and the ways in which she channels emotions into songwriting. Through this partnership, TESSAN and Rachael invite audiences to embrace the unknown, find meaning in movement, and redefine what it truly means to embark on a journey.

A Voice for the Journey, A Bridge to Connection

TESSAN chose Rachael Yamagata for this collaboration not just as a singer-songwriter, but as a living embodiment of the journey the brand celebrates—one of transformation, connection, and self-discovery. Her music is more than melody; it is a chronicle of movement—through places, emotions, and phases of life.

Like travel, Rachael’s artistry is driven by exploration and authenticity. Her songs capture the raw, unfiltered essence of human experience—love, loss, resilience—mirroring the very journey that shapes us all. She believes, as TESSAN does, that true connection is found in embracing the unknown, in stepping beyond comfort to discover something deeper—about the world, and about oneself.

A Deep-Dive Documentary: Exploring Music, Connection, and the Essence of Journey

This Documentary is a key milestone in TESSAN’s global campaign, “What’s Your Next Journey?”, which encourages people to embrace the unknown, seek new experiences, and forge deeper connections through travel and self-discovery.

A Story of Reflection, Growth, and Connection

This documentary captures Rachael Yamagata’s raw, unfiltered reflections on her personal and artistic journey, offering an intimate look at the experiences that have shaped her music. Through candid storytelling, she delves into:

  • The Meaning of “Journey” – How life’s transitions, uncertainties, and discoveries influence both her music and personal growth.
  • Music as a Universal Connector – The way songs create unspoken bonds between people, bridging emotions, cultures, and personal experiences.
  • The Power of Love – Her philosophy on being open, honest, and authentic—both as a Singer-songwriter and as a human navigating life’s highs and lows.
  • Finding Strength in Creativity – How art can serve as a tool for self-discovery, resilience, and empowerment, inspiring others to embrace their own journeys.

Beyond Music: A Shared Philosophy with TESSAN

At its core, this documentary embodies TESSAN’s belief in connection—both physical and emotional. Just as TESSAN’s travel solutions enable people to stay connected no matter where they go, Rachael’s music creates emotional connections that transcend borders. Through the “What’s Your Next Journey?” campaign, TESSAN aims to inspire people to embark on their next adventure—whether that means traveling the world, chasing a dream, or rediscovering themselves. This alignment reinforces TESSAN’s brand identity as not just a provider of travel essentials, but as a brand that empowers and inspires exploration, self-discovery, and human connection.

Final Thoughts: The Power of Journeys and Connection

At its heart, “What’s Your Next Journey?” is a question about movement—not just across places, but through life itself. It is about the choices we make, the challenges we face, and the growth that comes with stepping into the unknown. This collaboration between TESSAN and Rachael Yamagata is a reflection of that idea. TESSAN helps people stay connected as they travel the world, while Rachael’s music captures the emotional journeys we all go through.

But beyond travel and music, this partnership speaks to something deeper—the power of connection. Journeys are not just about reaching a destination; they are about the people we meet, the experiences we share, and the moments that shape who we become. Whether through technology or art, the ability to connect—with others, with ourselves, and with the world around us—is what gives those journeys meaning.

So, what’s your next journey? Whether it’s an adventure into the unknown, a return to something familiar, or an inward reflection on where you’ve been and where you’re headed, this campaign serves as a reminder that every step matters, every connection shapes us, and every journey—no matter how big or small—is worth embracing.

SHANGHAI, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 7 January 2025 – In today’s era of diversity, freedom, and a pursuit of high-quality living, recreational vehicles (RVs) have become the preferred choice for many seeking to explore the world and enjoy life. As a pioneer in creating the “mobile home” experience, New Gonow has leveraged its exceptional product capabilities, keen market insights, and strong innovation to gain widespread recognition not only in China’s domestic market but also on the global stage, showcasing remarkable competitiveness.

Now, New Gonow is set to reach a significant milestone in its journey—ringing the bell at the Hong Kong Stock Exchange for its IPO, officially becoming China’s first publicly listed RV company

According to the prospectus, New Gonow has maintained an average annual revenue growth rate of over 50% over the past three years, significantly outperforming the industry average. In the first half of 2024, despite uncertainties in the global economic environment, the company delivered an impressive net profit margin of nearly 10%.

This not only highlights New Gonow’s continuous improvement in profitability but also serves as strong evidence of its robust competitiveness and high market recognition within the industry.

As a homegrown Chinese manufacturer, New Gonow not only boasts advanced manufacturing technology and extensive production experience but also demonstrates keen market insight and an innovative growth strategy.

In its early years, the company leveraged strategic collaboration with a renowned Australian RV brand, effectively integrating the strengths of both China and Australia in resources, technology, and market presence. This synergy enabled New Gonow to stand out in the Australian and New Zealand markets, where it quickly rose to become the second-largest RV brand. Its market competitiveness and influence continue to grow steadily.

This experience in international collaboration and competition has not only provided New Gonow with valuable expertise but also validated its products in global markets. As a result, the company has progressively built the capability to compete with leading international brands.

As consumer demand for travel and lifestyle experiences becomes increasingly diverse, the concept that “buying an RV is buying a lifestyle” has deeply resonated with the market. New Gonow has keenly identified this trend and is committed to creating high-quality, personalized “mobile homes” for its customers.

The company offers a comprehensive product lineup, ranging from luxury to budget-friendly models and catering to various needs, from family vacations to solo adventures. This diverse portfolio ensures that New Gonow can meet the evolving preferences of different consumer groups, reinforcing its position as a leader in the industry.

New Gonow has consistently remained at the forefront of the industry in technological research and innovation. The company continues to increase its investment in R&D, focusing on enhancing vehicle performance, safety, and comfort.

From advanced smart control systems to energy-efficient and eco-friendly power technologies, from meticulously crafted interior designs to rugged and durable vehicle structures, New Gonow strives for excellence in every detail.

It is this relentless pursuit of technical superiority and quality that has fueled the company’s steady rise in the market. Moreover, it lays a solid foundation for future product upgrades and expansion into new markets, unlocking limitless opportunities for growth

New Gonow’s decision to pursue an IPO on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange marks a new chapter in its growth journey. By going public, the company will gain increased capital support to expand production capacity, strengthen R&D investment, broaden sales channels, and enhance brand influence.

Leveraging the power of the capital market, New Gonow is well-positioned to accelerate its domestic and international expansion, further solidifying its status as a leading player in the RV industry.

A raft of Police resources has rounded up five people believed to have robbed a Karaka service station early this morning.

At about 5.30am, Police were called after five masked people with various weapons (not firearms) entered the petrol station on Harbourside Drive.

Detective Inspector Karen Bright, of Counties Manukau CIB, says staff quickly activated the fog cannon before hiding at the back of the store.

“The group has proceeded to take cash, vapes and cigarettes before fleeing in a stolen vehicle.

“Thankfully no one was injured, however staff are understandably shaken.”

Detective Inspector Bright says the vehicle was located abandoned a short time later in Pitt Avenue, Manurewa.

She says officers then observed two people known to Police in a vehicle, and after a short pursuit both occupants were taken into custody on Boulderwood Place.

“Three other people were also seen by members of the public running through businesses in the area.

“Thanks to the information provided by our community, all three were rounded up by using the Police Eagle helicopter, Delta dog unit and officers on the ground.

“Let this be a reminder that Police will continue to hold to account those who choose to behave like this.

“It’s very lucky no one was injured.”

Detective Inspector Bright says Police continue to encourage the public to call Police straight away on 111 if you see or suspect anything suspicious happening.

Four males, two aged 20 and two Youths aged 15 and 14 will appear in Manukau District Youth Court today charged with aggravated robbery.
