Jaecoo claim 1 613 km on a single tank of fuel for their J7 SHS – We think not!

Omoda & Jaecoo are redefining the future of hybrid mobility with their industry-leading SHS (Super Hybrid System) technology. Omoda & Jaecoo’s plug-in hybrid SHS models have recently undergone extensive real-world testing across 16 countries, including Europe, Asia, Africa, and South America. These trials move beyond laboratory figures in an attempt to prove the global adaptability, durability, and reliability of SHS technology.Laboratory testing is not real worldThe reason to move from the likes of the widely accepted WLTP (Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicle Test Procedure) to calculate average fuel consumption is that the numbers achieved this way are too optimistic. It tries to be realistic, but it’s still a controlled test, and not a reflection of how people actually drive.

Lingayen-Dagupan Archbishop Socrates Villegas on Wednesday urged the International Criminal Court (ICC) and the Philippine government to pursue justice and hold accountable those responsible for the crimes, as the country marked the 40th anniversary of the People Power Revolution. During the Eucharistic celebration at the National Shrine of Mary, Queen of Peace, Our Lady of EDSA (EDSA Shrine), Villegas described the country’s justice system as “defective” and “not ideal.” “ICC of the Hague, kayo naman (It’s your turn). Bring to justice the murderers of drug users who also murdered our national virtues and values. Help us restore justice and order in this land that has lost its virtues,” Villegas said during his homily. “ICI, kayo naman. Sana more. Inip na kami (Independent Commission for Infrastructure, It’s your turn. We’re expecting more. We’re losing patience),” he added. He also...
