Hisense Brings AI Companion Suite to Life with a Social Kitchen

QINGDAO, China, Oct. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Hisense, a leading brand in global consumer electronics and home appliances, is bringing its vision of "Innovating a Brighter Life" into the heart of the home with the new PureSmart Duo Series — a refrigerator series designed as the intelligent center of the kitchen and now being rolled out across global markets.

Building on the AI Companion Suite introduced at IFA 2026, Hisense is extending its vision of AI beyond appliances to create connected experiences across the home. Through the ConnectLife platform, the PureSmart Duo Series brings people, appliances and experiences together, making AI a more natural part of everyday life.

This vision comes to life through Hisense's Social Kitchen — where technology helps the kitchen become a hub for connection. Rather than merely supporting food preparation, AI Companion Suite brings cooking, entertainment and communication together, creating opportunities for families and friends to spend time in the space.

One four-door refrigerator in the PureSmart Duo Series combines 611 liters of storage with a 21-inch smart screen, along with features designed to support everyday cooking, entertaining and connection in the kitchen. Its integrated ice and water system offers crescent ice, crushed ice and UV-purified water with a 99.9% sterilization rate, making it easy to serve drinks for any occasion. Entertainment lives here too: stream shows through the VIDDA platform, watch live TV or play music on the 21-inch screen while you cook, dine or unwind — so the decisive goal or the season finale is never missed mid-recipe.

On weekends, families can pick a recipe together while connected appliances simplify preparation. During gatherings, the refrigerator becomes a social hub —guests can use Beverage Master feature on the smart screen to choose their favorite drinks and follow step-by-step instructions to create them together, while hosts spend less time managing the kitchen and more time enjoying the people around them.

For Hisense, AI Companion Suite is about more than intelligent appliances. It is about creating warmer connections through technology — making the kitchen a place where people naturally come together.

HANGZHOU, China, Oct. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The 675SR-R, CFMOTO's high-performance three-cylinder sportbike, has reached an agreement with the Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme - FIM and Dorna WSBK Organization - DWO, to become the official motorcycle for the FIM Women's Circuit Racing World Championship (WorldWCR) from the 2027 season. This marks the first time a Chinese motorcycle manufacturer has been appointed as the designated supplier for an FIM World Championship-level one-make series.

Established in 2024, WorldWCR is the first world-level road racing championship created exclusively for female riders. As a one-make series, all riders compete on identical motorcycles, testing rider skill while providing a validation of motorcycle performance. WorldWCR is one of four series under the WorldSBK umbrella, alongside SPB (Sportbike), SSP (Supersport) and SBK (Superbike).

Proven Performance Lays the Racing Foundation

The production 675SR-R is powered by CFMOTO's in-house-developed 675cc liquid-cooled three-cylinder engine, producing peak power of 70 kW (95 hp) at 11,000 rpm and peak torque of 70 N•m at 8,250 rpm, providing a solid foundation for racing evolution.

In the British Superbike Championship (BSB), the 675SR-R has been tested in competition over two seasons. It claimed a podium in its first season, becoming the first Chinese-built production motorcycle to finish on a BSB podium.

The 675SR-R's racing DNA also comes from joint development by CFMOTO and the Aspar team, CFMOTO's technical partner in Moto2 and Moto3. During development, Aspar riders and its technical team were deeply involved in testing, directly benefiting the production model's track performance.

From winning the Moto3 manufacturers' world championship to now becoming the one-make model for WorldWCR, CFMOTO is using its track performance to reshape the global market's perception of China's motorcycle industry.

Outlook: A New Global Phase for CFMOTO

The 2027 WorldWCR season will mark the 675SR-R's first large-scale competitive appearance in the world's premier women's motorcycle racing championship. CFMOTO will provide a comprehensive technical support system, including race bike preparation, parts supply and an on-site technical team.
