GUANGZHOU, China, Oct. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Coinciding with the 140th Canton Fair's focus on advanced manufacturing and energy transition, CARKU will debut its truck starting and energy storage solution at Hall 10.3 (Booths G33-34 / H13-14) for international buyers. Designed to tackle long-haul trucking's biggest cost drivers—fuel waste from engine idling and associated emissions, the integrated power ecosystem is engineered to meet the massive energy demands of heavy commercial fleets.
"For over 15 years, CARKU has worked closely with customers to understand the growing power demands of commercial vehicles", said Lei Yun, Founder of CARKU Technology. "Our dual-purpose LiFePO4 battery addresses these needs by combining reliable engine starting with electric power for truck air conditioning, helping reduce reliance on diesel fuel during stops."
One-Stop Power Ecosystem: Driving Carbon Reduction and Cost Efficiency
The one-stop truck ecosystem is designed around operational reliability, reduced emissions, and driver comfort. Powered by a dual purpose battery architecture, the system seamlessly integrates 24V power inverter and dedicated parking air conditioner into a closed loop:
- On the move: Its ultra-high discharge capability supports reliable engine starting and emergency jump-starting, fully eliminating dead-battery stranded risks for diesel engines.
- During rest stops: It converts stored DC power into reliable AC/DC output to run cabin cooling and high-power onboard electronics for 12+ hours without engine idling.
This setup delivers a vital dual impact—slashing fuel overhead and TCO for fleet managers, while providing drivers with a quiet, tailpipe-free rest environment.
Flagship Product Portfolio: The Hardware Behind the Ecosystem
To answer the market's urgent demand, CARKU will showcase three key pillars at Canton Fair 2026:
- Carku CBL230D-24V: Headlining the LFP battery series, this dual-purpose battery combines engine-starting capability with deep-cycle auxiliary energy storage.
- Carku CI2200C-24 Power Inverter: Delivers pure sine wave power for onboard appliances in 24V heavy trucks—combining an inverter, battery charger, and MPPT solar charger into one compact unit.
- Carku CA2300C-24V-R Parking Air Conditioner: Features a real-time carbon monoxide (CO) monitoring system for driver safety, delivering dual-mode heating and cooling with high energy efficiency during rest stops.

"Enjoy Driving, Enjoy CARKU": One-Stop Truck Power Solutions Debut at Canton Fair 2026
Deeper integration with Xplan as part of latest evolution of FAYBL agentic platform
Highlights
- AI financial advisory platform FAYBL appoints Xplan co-founder and former Iress Chief Executive Andrew Walsh as President (International) of FAYBL
- FAYBL is rolling out a deeper integration with Iress' Xplan
- Rollout of FAYBL platform update - v2.5 - underway, with additional 6 firms onboarding
SYDNEY, Oct. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- FAYBL, the agentic AI platform for financial advisers, today announced the appointment of experienced financial industry executive Andrew Walsh as the company's President (International).
The appointment comes as FAYBL delivers deeper and richer integration with Iress' Xplan as part of the latest evolution of its platform.
Mr Walsh is the co-founder of Xplan, the advice platform used by financial advisory practices across Australia, the UK, New Zealand and other markets, and led Iress as Chief Executive for 13 years.
As President (International) of FAYBL, Mr Walsh will lead its work with licensees, platforms and advice firms as the company moves to firm-wide rollouts in Australia and internationally.
Speaking about his appointment, Mr Walsh said: "I've spent much of my career building the systems advisers rely on every day. What's changed now is that software can do more than store the work - it can help do it. FAYBL offers the capability to drive the adviser's existing systems, safely and with the adviser in control, thereby unlocking the scaling potential of practices."
Rollout of FAYBL V2.5 underway
Mr Walsh's appointment comes as FAYBL commences the rollout of its latest platform update, FAYBL v2.5.
As part of the update, FAYBL's AI agent (Faybl) now has the capability to work across client records, documents and file notes, tasks and workflow, the diary, portfolio, and modelling information.
Purpose-built for the highly regulated, high-trust environment of advice, Faybl integrates directly into existing software systems while maintaining strict guardrails that keep advisers and licensees in control. Moving beyond merely describing workflows to actively executing them, Faybl prepares models strategies, drafts documents, raises tasks, and records completed actions, with every action submitted for approval before any data is written back to other systems.
Chris Holmes of Wealth Laboratory said: "Faybl has brought the joy back to financial planning. The days of being weighed down by endless administration are gone, allowing me to focus on what I enjoy most - meeting with clients and developing meaningful strategies to help them achieve their goals. If the growing administrative and compliance burden is taking you away from your clients, I cannot recommend Faybl highly enough."
While basic AI is now common in financial advice, it is used mostly for meeting notes and simple tasks, and leaves the adviser's day largely unchanged.
By contrast, FAYBL V2.5 is an agent that effectively works with the adviser throughout the day. It will prepare client files before reviews, draft advice documents from the firm's own templates, pre-fill fact-finds and flag what it couldn't verify, and run the firm's processes the same way for every adviser.
"I'm excited to have Andrew join our leadership team," said Steven Goh, co-founder and CEO of FAYBL. "An AI agentic experience can transform the professional experience and economics of advice for the better. Andrew joining and V2.5 are big steps towards that."
FAYBL V2.5 is available now to Profile Financial Services, Financial Advice Matters, Transition Wealth, Knight Group, Obra Wealth, Wealth Laboratory and many others. Further firm launches will be announced in November. Advisers at Count.ed 2026 can see Faybl working with Xplan at the FAYBL stand.
