Bangkok, 28 August 2023 – The SUPPORT Foundation under the Royal Patronage of Her Majesty Queen Sirikit The Queen Mother is organizing the highly anticipated Khon Performance Episode of ‘Kumbhakarna’ at Thailand Cultural Centre in Bangkok, from 5 November to 5 December 2023.
‘Khon’, the traditional masked dance drama of Thailand, was officially recognized by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2018. According to UNESCO, Khon is a comprehensive art form that combines music, vocals, literature, dance, rituals, and craftsmanship.
For nearly two decades, the SUPPORT Foundation under the Royal Patronage of Her Majesty Queen Sirikit The Queen Mother has been presenting the eagerly awaited SUPPORT Khon Performance, also known as Khon Somdej or The Queen’s Khon.
Regarded as the most prestigious Khon production in Thailand, the SUPPORT Khon Performance showcases the country’s most significant performing arts while incorporating modern stage techniques and special effects.
The SUPPORT Khon Performance is based on the theatrical script for Ramakien, the Thai adaptation of the Indian epic, Ramayana, compiled by King Rama I. This year’s episode highlights the part where Kumbhakarna, the younger brother of demon king Thotsakan, performs a magical ritual to halt Phra Ram’s army.
UD Trucks marks a decade of recognizing the accomplishments and development of Quester. Debuted in 2013, Quester continues to bring flexibility in transport application, while enabling ultimate dependability through optimal TCO (total cost of ownership) and uptime reliability.
SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 29August 2023 – UD Trucks celebrates the 10th anniversary of the heavy-duty Quester and reflects proudly upon its journey of innovation and expansion. Quester has aimed to embody the company’s vision of creating trucks that meet the present-day requirements of the world. Developed with a strong focus on customer needs and leveraging UD Trucks’ 87-year history of Japanese engineering expertise, Quester stands as a contemporary, heavy-duty truck tailored to cater to the demands of growing markets and around the world.
The first Quester began its journey on the road in 2013, first in Thailand. Today, UD Trucks is proud to announce that over the last 10 years, Questers have been on the roads of over 46 countries across 4 continents.
Jacques Michel, Senior Vice President of UD Trucks International Sales, said: “Since the introduction and the continuous innovations we have pioneered with Quester, UD Trucks has always kept the Gemba spirit top of mind. We are committed to stay closely connected to the field and understand the requirements of our customers in different markets. We aim to continue to be their preferred transport solution provider.” Evolution of Quester
In the last decade, Quester has expanded its lineup to feature a range of 13 configurations, showcasing its remarkable versatility for businesses. This encompasses the introduction of a novel 8-liter GH8E engine alongside the initially introduced 11-litre GH11E variant, both engineered for substantial torque output and efficient fuel consumption through low engine speed operation. The available horsepower options span from 250 to 460, and buyers can also choose between a 9-speed or 12-speed gearbox together with single or hub reduction drive axles. Additionally, Quester offers an array of axle configurations, including 4×2, 6×2, 6×4, 8×2 and 8×4, with the first 3 available for both tractor and rigid applications. Quester’s high-roof large cab option also offers class-leading space for driver’s comfort. New Quester introduced in 2019 elevates the driving experience
Expanding upon Quester’s established durability and dependability, New Quester incorporated notable enhancements like the ESCOT automated manual transmission, more powerful engines, and intuitive telematics. These improvements aimed to provide improved fuel efficiency, productivity, drivability, safety, and uptime.
Fuel costs typically constitute 60 percent of operating costs for fleet operators. New Quester achieved an even greater improvement in fuel efficiency of up to 10 percent compared to the first Quester model by incorporating the ESCOT automated manual transmission, reducing vehicle weight, and optimizing the driveline[1].
The ESCOT automated manual transmission system incorporated specialized software that optimizes gear shifts based on engine revolutions, vehicle speed, load weight, and road gradient. This intelligent system also featured a sensor that automatically selects the most suitable starting gear, rather than defaulting to first gear.
New Quester’s advanced fuel efficiency was meant to align with the global call for reducing consumption. The New Quester met the fuel economy and quality requirements for heavy-duty vehicles, ranging from Euro 3 to Euro 4, across all intended markets.
New Quester’s automatic selection of the most suitable gear was also meant to make driver training easier and improve drivability. It’s easy-to-operate gear lever, which uses a straight shifting pattern, was meant to help companies expand their pool of drivers by making driving more intuitive and easier to pick up.
The New Quester was also intended to elevate the driving experience. Designed to feature an air-suspended cab and a ride comfort package that effectively decreases cab vibrations by as much as 18 percent, driver comfort was further prioritized through the inclusion of ergonomic seats and lumbar support. Euro 5 compliant Quester embodies value of sustainability
UD Trucks was the pioneering truck manufacturer to introduce Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technology back in 2004.
Continuing its efforts to promote sustainability, the Euro 5 Quester made its debut in 2021 as a heavy-duty truck that would enhance customers’ business operations while minimizing the impact on the environment as much as possible.
Euro 5 standards bring forth a reduction of approximately 43% in NOx emissions compared to Euro 4, resulting in substantial decrease in the vehicle’s carbon footprint due to cleaner exhaust emissions.
The latest Euro 5 Quester incorporates SCR technology, offering a substantial enhancement in environmental preservation and fuel efficiency. This technology’s reliability in effectively reducing NOx emissions is evident when compared to other methods of emission control. The Euro 5 Quester also revolutionized the scene with real-time fuel and driver coaching. This enhancement provided truck operators with immediate and specific feedback on more fuel-efficient driving techniques.
Leveraging technology for a smart future
New Quester and its Euro 5 range further enhanced Quester’s existing and impressive standout features.
Since 2018, all trucks come equipped with UD Connected Services, which possess the capacity to establish a direct connection with UD Trucks workshops, enabling real-time monitoring and preemptive identification of each vehicle’s status and maintenance requirements prior to potential emergencies. The analysis of preventive maintenance offers customers guidance through monthly reports on driving patterns and fuel usage, leading to improved operational efficiency and enhanced fuel economy in the long run.
Quester also prides itself for unwaveringly staying true to its ethos of “Made to go the extra mile”, by increasing uptime through UD Extra Mile Support. Presenting a widespread network of highly skilled service technicians, it has been delivering top-notch aftersales support including service agreements, connected services, genuine parts, service planning, and comprehensive vehicle handover training. These efforts collectively enhance fleet performance across global markets to its utmost potential.
Jacques Michel, Senior Vice President of UD Trucks International Sales, said: “We are proud of the tremendous achievements Quester has accomplished thus far, UD Trucks is aware that customer needs as well as the industry landscape is always dynamic and changing. We will continue to collaborate, innovate and most importantly, keep listening to the needs of our customers to ensure that Quester stays true to its promise to “go the extra mile”.
[1] The extent of improvement depends on factors such as operating conditions, driving habits, and vehicle maintenance.

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach – 29 August 2023 – Further to the successful completion of the3rd JCtrans Global Freight Forwarders Expo and International Air Transport Association (IATA) Aviation Day at AsiaWorld-Expo (AWE), the world of logistics and aviation is looking to Hong Kong to spearhead industry exchanges and new growth opportunities. Industry experts are inspired by the city’s new infrastructure, and its strategic role as an international logistics and aviation hub as well as being an important gateway of the Greater Bay Area (GBA).
Hong Kong International Airport
On top of the home-grown Asian Logistics, Maritime and Aviation Conference(ALMAC) to be held in November this year, IATA World Cargo Symposium 2024, Aero-Engines Asia-Pacific 2024 and Super Terminal Expo 2024 will all be staged in Hong Kong for the first time.
Kenneth Wong, General Manager, MICE & Cruise of the Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB) said “We are thrilled that Hong Kong has become the destination of choice for multiple aviation and logistic events! The city’s status as an aviation hub with a globally connected transportation network, a future-proof Airport City development, top-notch convention venues and a gateway to the GBA makes it a strategic choice in the region to host major industry events. ”
Hong Kongas an aviation hub
Located in the heart of Asia, Hong Kong is within five hours’ flight of half of the world’s population, with Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) providing globally renowned air transport services. It is frequently ranked among the world’s busiest international passenger airports as it hosts some 120 airlines; it is also the busiest cargo airport in the world, with cargo throughput of 4.2 million tonnes in 2022, making it one of very few airports that’s a leader in both fields.
Airport City as a booster for business events
To enhance the connectivity with the GBA and the world, HKIA is transforming itself from a city airport to an Airport City.
A robust expansion strategy is in place including the Three-runway System that will increase capacity by 50% to be able to serve 120 million passengers and 10 million tonnes of cargo annually. Plans are in hand to strengthen the multimodal network with GBA cities through state-of-the-art cross-boundary infrastructure, Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge to ensure seamless travel via Hong Kong, which helps to facilitate more multi-destination exchange and excursions within the region. As part of the Airport City development, AWE – which is located right next to the international airport, is expanding to house the city’s largest indoor arena with over 20,000 seats, thus attracting more large-scale events to stage in town. These enhancements position the city as a super-connector to capture more business opportunities of both the lucrative GBA market and the world, providing growth impetus to Hong Kong’s MICE industry.
Vivian Cheung, Chief Operating Officer, Airport Authority Hong Kong and Hong Kong Convention Ambassador said, “I am thrilled to bring significant industry events to our city, which reflects the role of Hong Kong as a leading aviation, transportation and logistics hub.As a member of the Hong Kong Convention Ambassador programme, I look forward to welcoming even more business events and delegates from around the world.”
Simon Li, Chairman of AWE commented, “AWE takes immense pride in facilitating transformative dialogues set to redefine the transportation and logistics sectors. The events will demonstrate the unprecedented synergies that can be achieved in all-in-one Lantau, the heart of Hong Kong’s transport network, comprises of new hotels, the city’s largest hub for retail, dining and entertainment – 11SKIES, and an award-winning MICE venue.”
IATA World Cargo Symposium to be hosted in Hong Kong for the first time
Having been the world’s leading air cargo hub for many years, HKIA will be the host airport for the 2024 edition of the IATA World Cargo Symposium in March. The conference is expected to attract over 1,000 attendees from around the world, with the aim of tackling subjects related to technology and innovation, security and customs, cargo operations, and sustainability.
Conrad Clifford, Deputy Director General and Corporate Secretary, IATA said, “Hong Kong has the elements needed to retain its status as an important aviation hub for both passengers and air cargo. This includes having a strong hub airline, Cathay Pacific, as well as having the experience and expertise in handling perishable goods, lithium batteries and other dangerous cargo. I am confident that Hong Kong’s traffic will return to pre-pandemic levels by the end of 2024, three years earlier than previously expected. This is in line with expectations of a faster recovery in the Asia-Pacific region.”
Super Terminal Expo 2024 inaugural in Hong Kong to capture world’s fastest growing market
Debuting at AWE in November 2024, Super Terminal Expo 2024 – the first of its kind – will feature dynamic networking opportunities and educational sessions as well as highlight important insights into trends and technologies shaping the future of cargo and passenger terminals, as well as ports, railways and building construction industries.
Michael Duck, Executive Vice President of Commercial Development for Informa Markets added: “The Asia-Pacific region is the largest global logistics and passenger transport market, and Hong Kong sits right at its heart. We are delighted to host the inaugural Super Terminal Expo in this thriving market. Right before the flagship exhibition, we will also host Aero-Engines Asia-Pacific 2024 as part of Aviation Week Network’s Aero-Engines series in the city in April 2024. These events present a raft of opportunities that will allow businesses to tap into the growing demand for logistics and passenger transportation services.”

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA – Media OutReach – 29 August 2023 – Infor®, the industry cloud company, today announced thatRiverina Water has deployed Infor CloudSuite Public Sector Customer and Billing modules as part of its ambitious digital transformation project, with early, positive signs for the organisation that will have a flow-on effect on customers set to reap the rewards of real-time transaction capabilities anywhere, anytime and on any device.
Andrew Crakanthorp, CEO at Riverina Water
The strategic move to implement Infor’s cloud-based enterprise software platform is in line with Riverina Water’s unwavering pursuit of customer excellence. In a survey earlier this year across its supply area of Wagga Wagga City, Lockhart Shire and parts of Greater Hume and Federation council areas, overall satisfaction with customer service scored 4.69 out of 5. As a winner of the prestigious Sam Samra Award for Most Improved Local Water Utility in New South Wales (NSW), Infor will be instrumental in helping Riverina Water better manage costs, secure IT investments and improve service delivery to more than 77,000 customers by retiring legacy systems and moving to the cloud.
Infor CloudSuite Public Sector, which includes Infor Financials & Supply Management, Infor CIS Billing and Infor Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) (for integrated planning, budgeting, forecasting and financial consolidation, business intelligence and analytics), was selected following a competitive tender process in a bid to ensure that Riverina Water is well-positioned to operate in an increasingly digital world, while supporting efficient work processes, procedures, and service delivery – both internally and externally.
“We’re pleased that Infor has been able to deliver on the first phase of our transformation program. The system has only been in production for two months and we’re already seeing tangible benefits with a number of manual processes now automated. I’m looking forward to seeing how it will further benefit our customers into the future,” said Andrew Crakanthorp, CEO at Riverina Water.
“Infor plays an important role as a trusted partner in our commitment to providing safe and reliable drinking water to an ever-growing community. Infor was selected for its deep water industry experience and a cloud offering that’s flexible, agile, secure and customisable – all ingredients of the right industry-specific solution for our needs as we look to strengthen service delivery and enhance our standing as a customer-centric organisation with best-in-class customer service,” Crakanthorp said. “Importantly, we see this as a long-term partnership that will help meet our strategic goals.”
Riverina Water is planning for future rollouts of Infor solutions, including asset management, financials, supply chain management and Infor’s managed service, CareFor.
