• New campaign celebrates meaningful life “firsts” through the EV2 
• EV2 positioned as Kia’s smallest EV and entry point to the brand’s electric line-up
• Fully integrated 360-degree European campaign spans TV, cinema, product films, print, and social-first content
• Second campaign phase to introduce creator-led in summer 2026

FRANKFURT AM MAIN, Germany, April 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Kia Europe has launched “The Power of Firsts”, a new integrated campaign marking the introduction of the EV2, the smallest EV in the brand’s line-up and its entry point into electric mobility.

Developed in collaboration with INNOCEAN Berlin, the campaign positions the EV2 as an enabler of new experiences. Moving beyond purely product messaging, it connects with new and emerging customer groups through emotionally grounded storytelling while reinforcing Kia’s progressive brand identity.

Celebrating new beginnings
“The Power of Firsts” builds on a simple insight: first experiences shape how we see the world. Whether it is a first independent drive, a first creative step, or a first shared adventure, these moments often mark key transitions into new life chapters.

“The EV2 represents a significant step in broadening access to electric mobility within Kia’s line-up,” said David Hilbert, Marketing Director at Kia Europe. “With ‘The Power of Firsts’, we want to place the focus on the human experience. The campaign positions the EV2 as a companion to meaningful first moments and demonstrates Kia’s ambition to connect with customers in an authentic, meaningful way that reflects how they live today.”

“A campaign of this nature is, coincidentally, a first for Kia,” added Gabriel Mattar, CCO at Innocean Berlin. “It evolves over time, going from a traditional film to a social second chapter. A testimony of Kia’s constant search for innovation and inspiration in everything they do.”

The creative execution presents a distinctly forward-looking narrative. A series of intimate vignettes portrays meaningful “firsts”, all subtly connected through the presence of the EV2. Each story is crafted to resonate broadly, appealing to diverse audiences while avoiding age-based or life-stage stereotypes.

A fully integrated 360-degree approach
“The Power of Firsts” launches as a multi-channel platform across Europe. The first phase of the campaign includes a hero film for television, cinema, and digital platforms, supported by dedicated product films, print executions, digital assets, and tailored social-first content for platforms such as Instagram and TikTok. 
The campaign has been designed modularly. This maintains a consistent narrative while allowing for adaptation across formats and markets. Neutral photography and digital assets support the EV2 product website and online brochure.

The second chapter of “The Power of Firsts” 
The campaign will be expanded in summer 2026 with a second phase, featuring collaborations with content creators from different disciplines. Each will revisit a defining personal “first” with the EV2 integrated into their story. Two creators introduced in the main film will continue their involvement. This approach embeds the campaign naturally within social platforms and maintains long-term engagement beyond the initial launch.

Expanding Kia’s electric portfolio
As the smallest EV in Kia’s line-up, the EV2 plays a strategic role within the brand’s growing electric portfolio. It complements Kia’s larger EVs by offering a compact, design-led and emotionally distinctive electric car that captures the essence of the brand. Through progressive storytelling, the EV2 is positioned to resonate with both existing and new customer segments.

WASHINGTON, April 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As the U.S. electrical grid reaches a breaking point under the weight of AI and hyperscale computing, LandGate, the leading data platform for energy and real estate intelligence, has released a comprehensive new white paper: “The Paradigm Shift: Navigating Alternative Pathways to Power.”

The report details a fundamental transformation in data center site selection. With interconnection wait times now exceeding six years in key markets, developers are abandoning the “grid-first” model in favor of Behind-the-Meter (BTM) power, autonomous energy ecosystems that allow projects to bypass traditional utility constraints and accelerate speed-to-market.

“Site selection in this congested market is fundamentally about securing energy sovereignty,” stated Yoann Hispa, CEO at LandGate. “Our research indicates a key industry transition: data centers are evolving from being merely passive consumers to becoming self-sufficient energy producers.”

Key Insights for Media Coverage

The white paper provides critical data points on the infrastructure “bottleneck” and the emerging technologies solving it:

• The 6-Year Standoff: In major ISOs like PJM, the average lead time for a high-voltage substation connection now surpasses 6 years, leaving newly built data center campuses at risk of sitting vacant.
• The Multi-Million Dollar Entry Fee: Developers are paying non-refundable “readiness deposits” as high as $4,000/MW for large-scale campuses across different ISOs. To put this simply, a 250 MW campus could average at a $1 million entry fee depending on its location.
• The BTM Explosion: On-site power solutions (Solar, Natural Gas, SMRs, and Hydrogen) now account for over 25% of all new data center capacity, as developers seek to insulate themselves from grid volatility and a $10,000-per-minute cost of downtime.
• The Nuclear “Gold Mine”: The report identifies Nuclear power as the only carbon-free source matching the 24/7 load profile of AI, with Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) offering an 80% reduction in build time compared to traditional plants.
• “Energy Sovereign” Hotspots: LandGate’s data identifies Texas and Pennsylvania as the top growth markets, driven by “power-forward” regulatory environments that encourage developers to “bring their own power.”

Mapping the Path to Power

The white paper highlights how LandGate’s proprietary intelligence is now the primary tool for developers identifying “Behind-the-Meter” opportunities. By layering resource data with environmental constraints, LandGate allows operators to find credible paths to power before a single shovel hits the ground.

Polling shows nearly 3 in 4 voters support exemptions for emergency support vehicles

Key Highlights:

• CARB’s ZEV mandate will hobble public agencies ability to respond to emergencies.
• While fire trucks are excluded from CARB’s ZEV rule, support vehicles that are just as critical to emergency response are not.
• Emergency response would have been hindered, and the 2018 Paradise fire even more catastrophic, if CARB’s ZEV regulation had been in effect.
• Disaster emergencies often bring blackouts, limiting operational readiness of electric vehicles.
• California voters support more exemptions for emergency support vehicles.

SACRAMENTO, Calif., April 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The California Special Districts Association (CSDA), along with local government leaders representing fire protection, water, resource conservation and hundreds of other public agencies across California today called on the California Air Resources Board (CARB) to exclude a broader range of emergency support vehicles from CARB’s Advanced Clean Fleets Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) regulation, currently open for a 15-day comment period.

Leaders are urging CARB to act on the concern that its mandate will hobble public agencies’ ability to respond to and mitigate emergencies or disasters, placing untold lives and property at risk. A case in point is the Paradise fire, which might have been even more catastrophic had CARB’s regulation been in place at the time.

“CARB’s fleet requirement, while well intentioned, would have hindered our ability to respond to the Camp Fire in 2018,” said Kevin Phillips, manager of the Paradise Irrigation District.

Water and irrigation districts across the state, which often support first responders in emergencies, share similar concerns.

“As California leads the nation in climate policy, we must ensure progress toward a cleaner future doesn’t come at the expense of public safety,” said Melanie Mow Schumacher, General Manager of the Soquel Creek Water District. “Our response capability must not be compromised by limitations in vehicle availability, charging times and limited charging capacity when seconds count.”

CARB’s mandate requires public agencies to transition to ZEVs despite the lack of infrastructure or vehicles on the market that can serve and protect the public in emergencies. Fire trucks, ambulances and police cars, along with snow removal vehicles and historic vehicles are currently excluded from CARB’s mandate, however there are a wide variety of support vehicles needed in emergencies – especially in power outages – that are not.

“A vehicle towing a generator to power a well, a water tender truck, or vehicles with tools to restore a failing system may not look like a firetruck or ambulance, but they are just as vital,” said Dave McQuead, Rancho Santa Fe Fire District Chief. “A water tender truck is as essential to emergency response as the fire engine it replenishes. CARB should define essential service based on the actual purpose of a vehicle, not just what it is.”

Disaster Emergencies Often Bring Blackouts
Compounding the need for flexibility is the fact that natural disaster events can last for days or weeks, and power may be unavailable. CARB even acknowledges this, calling to evaluate whether or not a mobile fast charging option even exists to respond when the power is out. CARB also acknowledges the threat to resiliency the regulation poses by establishing a temporary “resiliency” exemption. However, it caps this exemption at no more than 25 percent of a fleet and the exemption expires in 2030.

During emergencies, public agencies often need more vehicles than they have access to in their fleet, not a 75 percent reduction in their resiliency capabilities.

“Our emergency response required the full deployment of our fleet, not just a limited percentage,” said Phillips, describing his agency’s experience during the 2018 Camp Fire that devastated the Paradise community. “ZEV limitations related to range, charging infrastructure and power availability would have further delayed response times.”

“Water and other utility trucks are critical during earthquakes and other natural disasters, such as the horrific Palisades and Eaton fires last year,” said Neil McCormick, Chief Executive Officer of the California Special Districts Association. “Those trucks run internal combustion engines and can be refueled in minutes. How many more lives might have been lost, how many more homes and buildings destroyed – and at what cost – if fire crews had to wait for utility trucks to recharge? What if recharging was impossible due to an outage?”

No Viable ZEV Alternatives Available
Another concern raised by local agencies is that the vehicles essential to supporting emergency equipment have absolutely no counterpart in the ZEV marketplace. Even if they did, California lacks the ZEV infrastructure necessary for the ongoing operational reliability local agencies need.

When the Olivenhain Municipal Water District needed to replace a Class 7 dump truck, for example, it received responses from two dealers that an equivalent ZEV was not available as a replacement. CARB provided a list of startup companies online that said they could produce ZEV dump trucks. Four of those companies are out of business, and one that CARB specifically referred was being sued for misstating its production capacity.

Jon Barret with the Resource Conservation District of Tehama County added that it can take more than five years to plan, permit, and construct infrastructure needed to support a fleet of medium and heavy-duty ZEVs that do not exist, and are less likely to ever exist now that market demand has shrunk with the elimination of the private sector regulation.

California Voters Support More Exemptions
CARB’s ZEV mandate was unveiled in 2023 in response to state laws calling for California to meet aggressive carbon reduction goals by 2045. While these goals have broad public support, California voters actually prefer the flexibility these local agencies are urging.

A recent statewide CSDA survey of voters asked this very question. The response was nearly uniform regardless of political preference, with more than 70 percent of Democratic, nonpartisan, and Republican voters respectively all in agreement that these exemptions would be a good idea.

“We cannot and must not leave Californians defenseless against the very climate-related events CARB is striving to mitigate with its mandate,” McCormick said. “Protecting our environment and protecting lives and property are not mutually exclusive – we can do both with thoughtful policy that reflects real operational needs for public fleets, as well as market realities.”

CARB’s current regulation excludes dedicated snow removal vehicles. Local leaders are requesting the state amend the regulation to additionally exclude local government vehicles used for water utility, flood protection, sewer utility, electric utility, fire prevention, fire protection, search and rescue, and disease and vector control. The 15-day public comment period is set to conclude on April 17th, after which CARB may consider making amendments to its ZEV rule.

More information on the need for flexibility in CARB’s ZEV mandate is available here.

MIAMI, April 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Dunamis Premium Spirits is proud to announce its official participation in the 2026 F&B@Sea showcase, marking a significant milestone in the brand’s rapid national expansion and entry into the global cruise and hospitality sector.

Held in Miami, at Mana Wynwood Center from April 15–16, F&B@Sea is recognized as the cruise industry’s leading targeted platform where cruise line buyers engage directly with more than 180 food and beverage brands through tastings, activations, and curated experiences.

For Dunamis Premium Spirits, this moment represents more than participation, it signals a strategic shift into global distribution channels and high-volume hospitality environments.

Entering the Cruise Channel: A Defining Growth Moment

Dunamis will showcase its full portfolio of award-winning spirits, including Interstellar Bourbon, Bianca Supreme Rum, Zulu Hotel Airman’s Gin, and Aero Squadron Vodka, to cruise line executives, beverage directors, and procurement leaders from some of the world’s largest cruise brands.

This activation positions Dunamis at the center of a rapidly evolving onboard hospitality experience, where premiumization, storytelling, and guest engagement are driving purchasing decisions across the cruise industry.

“F&B@Sea represents a defining moment for our brand,” said Victor Young, Founder and CEO of Dunamis Premium Spirits. “We are stepping onto a global stage, aligning with the world’s leading hospitality operators, and accelerating our growth into high-impact distribution channels.”

Purpose-Driven Growth: Folds of Honor Partnership

As Dunamis expands globally, its mission remains grounded in purpose. Through its national partnership with Folds of Honor, the brand continues to support educational scholarships for the families of fallen and disabled service members and first responders.

At the center of this initiative is Aero Squadron Vodka, proudly positioned as a mission-driven product, with proceeds from every case sold contributing to this national effort.

Dunamis recently extended this partnership through its involvement in the Combat Culinary Treasure Coast event, where Aero Squadron Vodka was featured as the Official American-Made Vodka. The event, led by Alison and Tom Beckmeyer, has become a premier platform supporting Folds of Honor, reinforcing Dunamis’ commitment to aligning growth with impact.

From Regional Momentum to Global Expansion

Following a record-breaking Q4 2025, highlighted by 309 million media impressions, 5,700+ tastings, and national distribution growth, Dunamis enters 2026 with strong velocity and a clear strategy:

• Expand into travel, cruise, and hospitality channels
• Scale experiential activations to drive trial and brand pull-through
• Leverage multiple Double Gold award-winning credibility across global markets
• Align growth with mission-driven partnerships that resonate with today’s consumer

Currently distributed in Florida, Texas, Georgia, Iowa, Louisiana, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Illinois and Washington DC and West Africa.  With Greece, Spain and Portugal poised for launch soon. Dunamis Premium Spirits continues expanding its national and global footprint across retail and on-premise accounts.
