JAKARTA, Indonesia, June 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- On June 17, Chery commenced the second stage of its Global Safety Challenge in Jakarta, Indonesia, focusing on the "extreme humidity" scenario within its six-dimensional safety evaluation system (heat, cold, dryness, humidity, high-speed, and rough terrain). This rigorous test validated the moisture and corrosion resistance of the "Guardian Battery" in Chery Super Hybrid (CSH). Mr. Heri Prabowo, Head of the Sub-Directorate of Motor Vehicle Type Testing, Ministry of Transportation, and Mr. Christian Andersen, Notary, along with representatives from 80 leading media outlets and industry KOLs, attended the event to witness the battery's performance after 53 hours and 51 minutes of continuous saltwater soaking—demonstrating zero leakage, zero short circuit, and no signs of thermal runaway. The battery maintained structural integrity and passed all technical validations for electrical insulation. Once installed in the vehicle, it started successfully on the first attempt and delivered stable power throughout the road test, completing the rigorous challenge with zero anomalies.
CSH's "Guardian Battery" features IP68-rated waterproof and dustproof certification, an ultra-fast 2ms power cut-off response, an ultra-wide operating temperature range from -35°C to 60°C, and a 24/7 real-time health monitoring system—delivering comprehensive battery safety backed by advanced intelligent technologies. On the passive protection front, TIGGO8 CSH is equipped with a high-strength steel underbody shield with a tensile strength of 780 MPa, significantly enhancing the vehicle's overall safety performance.
At the event, TIGGO8 CSH's spacious "5+2" seating layout and V2L ecosystem drew significant attention from guests. With the third-row seats folding flat at the touch of a button, the class-leading 1,930L trunk, paired with 36 storage compartments and a powerful 3.3 kW V2L system, TIGGO8 CSH provides a comfortable and enjoyable travel experience for the whole family on every journey.
Committed to safety excellence, Chery continuously elevates technological innovation with user-centric engineering, benchmarking against industry leaders like Volvo through rigorous global safety challenges. As the second stage in Chery's global safety challenge, the Indonesian battery safety test in extreme humidity further validated the brand's safety technology. Looking ahead, Chery will conduct a rigorous underbody scraping test in the Mexican market to further evaluate the safety performance of CSH—highlighting Chery's commitment to delivering safer and more reliable mobility solutions to global customers.

HO CHI MINH CITY, Vietnam, Jan. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Digital travel platform Agoda reveals that Vietnam is becoming an increasingly popular year-end travel choice for families in the region and beyond. Based on searches made between September and November 2025 for stays during December 2025 and January 2026, Agoda recorded a 30% increase in family travel interest to Vietnam compared with the same period the previous year.
Agoda data shows that Vietnam is attracting more international families than ever this winter holiday season. South Koreans take the lead as the top market interested in traveling to Vietnam in December and January, with families from India, Singapore, Australia, and Malaysia rounding out the top five. Notably, Agoda reported that Indian families showcased the highest growth in travel interest to Vietnam during this period, with a 186% increase in searches. Malaysians also, are expressing strong growth in interest, with a 74% increase in searches, highlighting Vietnam's appeal as a family destination in Southeast Asia and beyond.
Families are choosing Vietnam for its storied culture and cuisine, diverse landscapes, and abundance of family-friendly resorts and attractions.
Phu Quoc Island leads as the most sought-after destination among international family travelers with a 47% increase in searches, popular for its sandy beaches, calm waters, and nature parks ideal for multi-generation vacations. Da Nang follows with 42% growth in travel interest, noted for its beaches, soft adventure activities, and access to Ba Na Hills theme park. Nha Trang comes in third place, remaining a favorite for its long coastline, family-oriented resorts, and island experiences. In fourth place, Ho Chi Minh City appeals with its vibrant food scene, entertainment complexes, and day trips to the Mekong Delta. In the north, Hanoi continues to draw families with its cultural landmarks, museums, and festive atmosphere, rounding out the top five most family-friendly year-end destinations in Vietnam.
Meanwhile, although Vietnamese families traditionally travel less internationally at the end of the year – typically preferring to wait for the Lunar New Year - China is becoming a noticeable exception. Among the top 20 outbound destinations preferred by Vietnamese families during the December-January period, searches for Shanghai increased 58%, while Beijing increased 59%. This shift is supported by the launch of new direct routes between Hanoi and selected Chinese cities earlier this year, making end-of-year overseas trips more accessible than ever.
Vu Ngoc Lam, Country Director at Agoda, said: "It is wonderful to see Vietnam increasingly chosen as an end-of-year holiday destination for families from across Asia and beyond. Agoda's data shows that travelers are recognizing Vietnam's family-friendly appeal, which further strengthen its position on the global travel map. As more families plan their festive-season or year-end getaways, we are delighted to support them through Agoda's simple, intuitive platform and our wide range of stays, flights, and activities."
With over 6 million properties, 130,000 flight routes, and 300,000 activities, all bookable in one seamless itinerary, Agoda helps families plan memorable year-end holidays, whether they choose a peaceful beach break, a cultural city escape, or an international exploration to mark the close of the year.
