The Souo S2000 features an 8-Speed DCT Transmission, similar to what Honda offers on the Goldwing. The braking system is from the renowned Brembo, with dual discs and radial calipers to ensure maximum safety and braking efficiency. At the front, the motorcycle uses a Hossack-style suspension with a single central shock absorber, replacing the conventional fork, while at the rear, an aluminum swingarm with a single shock absorber provides a smooth and stable ride.

GWM announced that production of the Souo S2000 will begin in the coming months in China, but the exact launch date and additional details will be revealed soon.

The oldest tree in the world, alive since before the birth of Jesus Christ, is cut down in a scientific study and the case changes environmental preservation rules.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

While in Brazil a 10-story building takes 2 years to complete, in China a company stacks pre-fabricated modules and raises the entire building in just 28 hours and 45 minutes.

An entire island in the Pacific wants to surround itself with a colossal barrier against the ocean to try to escape increasingly violent waves and not be swallowed by the sea in the coming decades.
