SHANGHAI, Jan. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Envision Energy, a global leader in green technology, has successfully grid-connected the first AI wind turbine prototype for its inaugural project in Australia, supporting Fortescue's Nullagine Wind Project in the Pilbara - its first operational wind development and a key step in advancing its Real Zero strategy. The achievement marks a major milestone in Envision's presence in the Australian renewable energy market and underscores the potential of physical AI system to enable large-scale industrial decarbonization across the country.
The Project features 17 Envision EN182-7.8MW AI wind turbines, specifically designed for Australia's mining and desert environments, local wind conditions, and stringent grid requirements. The turbine integrates Nabrawind's self-erecting tower technology with a hub height of 188 meters, setting a global benchmark for onshore wind and unlocking higher energy yield.
At the core of these turbines is Envision's recently launched Dubhe Energy Foundation Model, the world's largest Physical AI system. Inspired by Dubhe, the guiding star of the Big Dipper, which has helped humanity navigate by the North Star for thousands of years, Dubhe was unveiled by Envision Founder and CEO Lei Zhang at Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week. Working in tandem with Envision's Tianji Weather Foundation Model, Dubhe analyzes vast real-world energy data streams to orchestrate renewable generation, storage, grids, and demand in real time. By unlocking abundant renewable resources and driving costs toward near-zero marginal levels, Dubhe enables energy systems to scale efficiently with AI, addressing the unprecedented energy demands of the AI era.
"For centuries, Dubhe has guided travelers through the darkness. Today, it illuminates our path toward an intelligent, affordable, and boundless energy future - one capable of sustaining new civilizations in harmony with our planet," said Lei Zhang, Founder and CEO of Envision.
Kane Xu, SVP and President of International Product Line of Envision Energy, added: "The grid connection validates the power of Envision's Physical AI approach - proving that our AI wind turbines meet the world's most demanding grid while maximizing returns. Nullagine is more than a project; it is a scalable blueprint for industrial decarbonization and sustainable prosperity."
"Delivering Real Zero requires replacing diesel and gas with reliable, industrial-scale renewable energy. Wind - alongside solar and batteries - provides the dependable, low-cost power we need to electrify our haul trucks, drills, processing plants and rail across the Pilbara. The Nullagine Wind Project will feed directly into Pilbara Energy Connect, strengthening supply by balancing daytime solar with strong night-time and seasonal wind generation." said Dino Otranto, Fortescue Metals and Operations Chief Executive Officer.

Global Brand Ambassador Lando Norris and Asia-Pacific Brand Ambassador Wei Daxun gear up to launch the latest evolution of TUMI Alpha.
NEW YORK, Jan. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, international travel, lifestyle, and accessories brand TUMI unveils the next generation of the Alpha collection, brought to life through individual campaigns starring Formula 1 World Champion and Global Brand Ambassador Lando Norris, and Asia-Pacific Brand Ambassador and actor Wei Daxun. Together, they embody a revitalized expression of Alpha: sleek, precise, and intentionally understated — designed for modern movement.
The global campaign, directed by Alice Schillaci and photographed by Reto Schmid, casts Norris in a cinematic, suspense-driven narrative. Framed as a man preparing for a mission, the visuals draw from classic action storytelling, defined by precision, focus, and intent.
"When you're preparing for something important, you don't want distractions — you want everything to work exactly as it should," says Norris. "Whether I'm racing or on the move, it's about being ready. Alpha feels built for that mindset."
That same sensibility continues in the campaign starring Asia-Pacific Brand Ambassador Wei Daxun. Directed by David Pun and photographed by GK (国琨), the campaign captures Daxun moving through sleek, modern spaces, highlighting Alpha's clean lines, smooth movement, and refined design.
"Alpha is designed with real intention — you feel it in the materials, the balance, the way it moves with you. It's something I trust to be there, no matter where the day takes me," says Daxun.
"Alpha represents a blueprint for modern movement," says Victor Sanz, TUMI Global Creative Director. "It's where we return to rethink performance. We look at how people move, what they carry, and how design can support that journey."
Both Lando Norris and Wei Daxun represent that next generation. Alpha isn't just designed to keep up with them; it's designed to perform alongside them."
Across both campaigns, Alpha's design intelligence takes focus. Signature FXT™ Ballistic Nylon anchors the collection, paired with streamlined pocketing, silent magnetic closures, and intuitive access points engineered for efficiency. Core styles — including the Dual Access Expandable Carry-On, TUMI Brief Pack™, Double Expansion Duffel, and Convertible Clutch Crossbody — are refined to support movement without interruption.
To celebrate Alpha's latest evolution, TUMI debuts Ultra Blue, identified by vivid blue accents across key touchpoints on six iconic Alpha silhouettes. The colorway aims to commemorate TUMI's relentless innovation and commitment to excellence.
This next generation of Alpha reflects TUMI's enduring commitment to understanding its customer and supporting every moment of their journey, wherever it leads.
