Canoas, State of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, February 20, 2026App transforms driving data collected via smartphone into environmental reports, driver benefits, and intelligence for fleets and governments

Brazil now has its first Brazilian-developed digital platform focused on measuring vehicle emissions under real-world driving conditions and supporting public decarbonization policies, marking a pioneering step in the national mobility and climate tech landscape. Developed by Mova Protocol, the solution operates through an app that collects vehicle data directly from the driver’s smartphone, such as mileage, driving patterns, and time in motion, and converts this information into environmental reports, efficiency indicators, and fuel consumption analyses.

In practice, the app runs in the background while the driver is on the road. The collected data undergoes anti-fraud validation processes, is recorded on blockchain, and organized into auditable dashboards covering urban mobility and climate impact. The proposal is to replace generic estimates with measurements based on actual vehicle use on the streets.

Beyond supporting public policy and corporate sustainability reporting, the platform also enables analysis of real gasoline or ethanol consumption based on driving behavior. Using recorded routes, the system identifies acceleration patterns, braking intensity, average speed, and idle time, factors that directly influence fuel spending and emission volumes.

This information can be converted into reports for drivers and fleets, highlighting opportunities to drive more efficiently, reduce fuel consumption, and lower daily operating costs. The goal is to bring technology closer to everyday drivers, showing through real data how small behavioral changes can positively impact both personal finances and the environment.

In addition to generating environmental data, drivers accumulate points based on vehicle usage. These credits can be redeemed in the platform’s automotive marketplace for products and services from partners, including maintenance, fuel, and electric mobility solutions. In the future, the company plans to expand these possibilities with new digital reward models.

According to Antônio Farias, Product Director at Mova, the technology was designed to place drivers at the center of the transition to more efficient mobility:

“We have transformed the car into a reliable source of data for environmental and operational decision-making. Drivers automatically contribute to generating this information and, at the same time, are rewarded for their everyday vehicle use. This creates a virtuous cycle between mobility, technology, and decarbonization.”

Real data from the streets

Operational indicators show recurring platform usage. Of the 25,280 registered users, 13,180 are active, representing an activation rate above 53%. To date, 121,940 trips have been validated, totaling 2.76 million kilometers monitored and more than 148,000 hours of telematics data collected.

A significant portion of the user base consists of urban drivers and professionals who use their cars as work tools, such as ride-hailing drivers, a segment that generates consistent volumes of data on traffic circulation in urban centers.

The company states that the technology was designed to function seamlessly for users, without requiring knowledge of blockchain or digital assets. The system operates with progressive vehicle identification and privacy-by-design architecture, keeping the technological layer invisible in the driver’s experience.

Growing pressure for cleaner cars and reliable data

The launch comes at a time of rising demand in Brazil for reliable vehicle emissions data, driven by the expansion of electric and hybrid vehicles, fleet digitalization, and new regulatory requirements linked to sustainability.

Companies with large fleets, insurance providers, and public administrators are seeking precise information to plan routes, calculate real emissions, design urban mobility policies, and structure decarbonization programs.

“There is a clear shift from assumption-based metrics to evidence-based metrics. Continuous telematics makes it possible to understand how vehicles are actually used, including from a fuel consumption perspective, and which actions generate measurable environmental impact,” says Farias.

Headquartered in Canoas, Rio Grande do Sul, the company has recently reached a valuation of R$180 million after closing a US$3 million seed round and projects reaching one million users within the year. The platform currently has more than 25,000 registered drivers nationwide.

About Mova Protocol

Mova Protocol is an urban mobility data platform that combines continuous vehicle telematics, operational intelligence, and environmental tokenization. The company operates at the intersection of mobility, electromobility, and environmental impact, with initial operations in Brazil and a strategic vision to expand across Latin America.

The platform offers an automotive marketplace, B2B reports on vehicle usage and efficiency, integration with electric charging networks, and, in the future, the issuance of carbon credits based on verifiable data.

Design911 Explain Common Problems and Upgrade Recommendations for Porsche Water Pumps

Design911’s latest guide explains common Porsche water pump faults and the best replacement options to prevent engine damage

Brentwood, England, United Kingdom, February 17, 2026Design911, highly respected specialists in Porsche parts, components, upgrades, and restoration projects, has published the latest in a series of guides on common issues experienced by Porsche drivers, focusing on faults affecting water pumps.

Supported by an in-depth video explainer, shared via the company’s busy YouTube page, the guidance is intended to help clarify the reasons for breakdowns and faults, and advise Porsche owners on the various options and upgrades when it comes to water pump repairs and replacements.

Demonstrating contrasts between materials and like-for-like or aftermarket water pump components, Design911 showcases the features and specifications of different pumps, with examples from Porsche 928, 944, and 911 models, including Cayan and Macan models.

The Role of the Water Pump in Porsche Engine Performance

While many Porsche enthusiasts prefer air-cooled engines, the reality is that modern Porsches, including all 911s, are now produced with water pumps, which act to circulate cool water around the engine and prevent it from overheating.

The role of the water pump cannot be overstated, because keeping the engine cool and pumping water between the engine and radiator is vital. These pumps use a thermostat to control the flow rate and ensure the car is running in optimal condition.

Water pump failures can lead to seized engines or complete breakdowns that are costly to fix, and could result in catastrophic damage if the driver doesn’t stop the vehicle, leaving damage to worsen.

As with most components, water pumps can break down or fail, making maintenance and replacements important. The recommendation is to replace water pumps at regular intervals every 60,000 to 100,000 miles, and to aim for replacement before failure, given the scale of the damage this can cause.

While an engine is idle, a water pump can move around 10,000 litres of water an hour, increasing to 35,000 litres an hour at high speeds, illustrating why a failed water pump can cause such profound damage.

Primary Reasons Porsche Water Pumps Break Down

Most water pumps are constructed the same way, with an outer housing that is ideally cast aluminium, although with some heavier models constructed from cast iron. Within the middle of the pump, there is a spindle and a pulley, or sometimes a hub with a pulley bolted to it.

These parts are generally hardwearing and don’t tend to develop faults, but the water seal and bearing behind them can. Without making a conscious effort to check, it is possible that the seal or bearing, or both, could be showing signs of wear that indicate imminent failure.

The water seal stops fluid from entering behind the impeller and shaft and leaking out of the pump, and if the rubber starts to age, it’ll lead to leaks relatively quickly.

Porsche Water Pump Bearing Failure

Bearings also have a finite lifespan and absorb a great deal of impact as the shaft, driven from the crank, rotates at high speeds. If the bearing fails, the shaft isn’t properly supported any longer, which can mean the impeller inside the water pump starts to vibrate and move.

The more extreme the movement, the more likely the impeller is to catch on the edge of the housing and cause it to degrade. In this circumstance, the engine will soon start to overheat due to the loss of water flow as the housing becomes more and more worn.

In certain situations, a bearing might not have failed, but the plastic impeller used in some 911 water pumps can develop faults, in which case the end result is the same.

This is why water pump inspections and periodic replacements are considered essential, even if there aren’t yet any noticeable indications of a fault developing.

Issues With Porsche Water Pump Gaskets

Finally, the gasket, which is supplied alongside a new water pump, sits between the engine and the housing. There is a range of gaskets made from materials like fibre and steel, and although they don’t necessarily cause serious damage, a gasket can develop faults.

The best solution is to replace the gasket once it becomes worn, to stop the coolant from leaking between the engine and the water pump. Gasket replacements can be managed independently if the pump itself remains functional.

Guidance on Choosing the Best Replacement Porsche Water Pump

There are two options when it comes to replacing a damaged or failed water pump: either purchasing a like-for-like replacement part that matches the original component specification or opting for an aftermarket alternative.

Unlike many Porsche parts, which have varied upgrades and performance-enhancing components available, water pumps are more limited, making the main choice between plastic vs metal impellers and plated vs painted pulleys.

Most Porsche 911s are now fitted with plastic impellers, whereas aftermarket alternatives are normally manufactured from metal.

The choice is down to the driver because there are debates about the durability of metal, which won’t typically break from normal wear, and less sturdy plastic impellers, which are prone to breakage. The caveat is that if a bearing fails in a metal impeller, this can break up and become lodged in the water galleries, causing even more damage to the car.

Aftermarket water pumps are very similar to original pumps, so the right components will be down to personal choice, and whether drivers feel more comfortable with a like-for-like replacement or have a particular preference between the different types of pump models.

Ordering a Replacement Water Pump for Porsche Vehicles

The easiest solution for drivers who are approaching the 60,000 – 100,000-mile threshold, or who have a Porsche that has been sitting in a garage due to a failed water pump, is to search by model and type to compare the pumps that are available and compatible with their vehicles.

While not relevant to Porsches without a water-cooled engine, the emphasis remains on preventive maintenance, replacing parts before they reach the end of their life, and ensuring that a Porsche remains properly cooled, runs smoothly, and remains roadworthy.

NodeOps Proudly announces deployment of Digital Surveillance infra through its CreateOS application layer in Indian Textile Industry

“We used NodeOps to store CCTV recordings from our factory. The dashboard built with CreateOS is simple and easy for our team to use,” said Anand, owner of a cotton processing facility in Maharashtra.

New York, NY, United States, February 12, 2026 — As global supply chains emphasize transparency and efficiency, a pre-launch deployment of NodeOps’ CreateOS platform in India’s textile sector illustrates how accessible AI tools can enhance operational oversight for small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs). This 75-day pilot, conducted before CreateOS’s public debut, processed over 50,000 hours of video data—equivalent to 75 terabytes—across facilities in Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, and Gujarat, converting existing security cameras into tools for real-time monitoring and compliance.

CreateOS, which officially launched on Product Hunt on February 4, 2026, achieving the #1 ranking on launch day and enabling hundreds of public projects within days, offers an AI-assisted workflow from idea creation to coding, deployment, scaling, and production management. Users build applications through no-code interfaces or AI-guided prompts, without needing deep technical expertise. While the platform supports optional decentralized cloud options for potential cost savings, it does not require users to adopt them—allowing flexibility based on needs and preferences.

In this textile pilot, factory operators used CreateOS to connect CCTV systems to cloud storage, creating custom dashboards for production oversight. As adoption of this digital surveillance layer matures, the subsequent phase will progressively enable automated detection and alerting of operational anomalies—ranging from unauthorized access and material handling irregularities to potential theft events, equipment stoppages, and line-level malfunctions—bringing factories closer to a fully responsive, data-driven operating model.

“We used NodeOps to store CCTV recordings from our factory. Even though the site is in a remote area, the backups are getting stored properly. The dashboard built with CreateOS is simple and easy for our team to use,” said Anand, owner of a cotton processing facility in Maharashtra.

“NodeOps has made it easier for us to manage CCTV footage across our factory locations. The dashboard built with CreateOS is clean and straightforward,” added Gautam, who operates five cotton manufacturing facilities in Telangana.

This early use case underscores the NodeOps team’s focus on building for real-world impact, extending AI capabilities to non-technical users in traditional industries. By repurposing existing infrastructure, CreateOS addresses visibility gaps in shop-floor operations, where quality control, compliance, and worker accountability have often depended on fragmented records.

The pilot’s success comes amid growing demands for supply-chain documentation, particularly as India negotiates trade agreements with the EU that require verifiable evidence of working conditions and processes. For U.S. manufacturers facing similar challenges, it raises a practical question: How can accessible AI platforms like CreateOS help small operations achieve comparable gains in transparency and decision-making without significant upfront investments?

“What matters is solving immediate problems with familiar tools,” said Naman Kabra, CEO of NodeOps. “CreateOS handles the complexity of AI-assisted development end-to-end, so users can focus on their operations—whether that’s building a monitoring dashboard or scaling an application in production.”

As CreateOS reaches new audiences post-launch, including developers and businesses worldwide, this MSME deployment highlights its potential to bridge operational divides in global manufacturing. NodeOps continues to explore applications across sectors, prioritizing user-centric design.

The Impacts of Longer Life Expectancies for International Expat Retirement Planning

Longer life expectancies mean international expats must plan earlier and more carefully for longer retirements

Paphos, Cyprus, February 11, 2026Chase Buchanan Private Wealth Management, the global team with expat financial advisory centres across Europe and North America, has been helping international expats manage their retirement plans and pensions for over a decade.

The International Professional Partner Firm of the Chartered Insurance Institute is regarded as a leader in independent, regulated, and trusted advice, working with clients to support informed decision-making around aspects of their wealth such as pensions, investments, and succession planning.

Having long advocated for the importance of education to ensure individuals plan properly for their retirement and have sufficient resources to enjoy the lifestyle they aspire to, the company shares insights into the effects that longer average life expectancy is having.

The Latest Data Around Global Average Life Expectancies

The World Health Organisation (WHO) has recorded steady increases in the average time people live, and the number of years the average person will remain in good health, rising from 48 years in 1950 to 73 in 2019. This trend continues, notwithstanding the impacts of the pandemic.

It has also predicted that global life expectancy will reach 81 years by 2100.

In the UK, the Office for National Statistics reports that, according to data collected between 2022 and 2024, British nationals live longer, with a life expectancy of 83 for women and 79.1 for men, which is an increase of 18 weeks from the comparable data spanning 2019 to 2021.

Alongside this, retirement ages, or the age at which UK citizens can claim the State Pension have also, of course, risen. From the previous 60 for women and 65 for men, standard retirement ages have already changed to 66 for everyone.

They are due to increase further to 67 from later this year, and to 68 at some point between 2044 and 2046.

All this means people are living and working longer, which has a knock-on effect on the pension savings they will rely on to make the most of their retirement years.

Issues Related to Insufficient Retirement Planning

Pension shortfalls can have profound impacts on individuals and families, with a report last year from Pensions UK quantifying the scale of the problem. The organisation found that a lack of planning or inadequate retirement savings affects as many as 30% of British adults of working age.

Many may find themselves dependent on benefits, needing to work longer than they would have liked, having to adjust their lifestyle and outgoings, or relying on family members to help finance essential costs.

While younger adults are generally more conscious of the importance of saving for retirement, and the introduction of auto-enrolment schemes has meant more have workplace pensions, there are persistent problems with stagnant wage growth and rising living costs that can make it harder to start saving sooner.

The Relevance of In-Depth, Personalised Expat Retirement Planning

Retirement plans are incredibly important, not least for expats who need to factor in cross-border taxation, currency fluctuations, varied tax rules and exemptions, and the cost of living in an overseas country.

It is, unfortunately, all too common for even affluent expats to underestimate the wealth they will need, or to discount the impacts of inflation, which can mean a pension pot previously regarded as healthy will start to dwindle sooner than anticipated.

Essentially, retirement planning isn’t solely about reviewing a client’s accumulated wealth, ensuring their investments align with their risk profile, and making sure that returns and asset performance contribute to a stable, well-diversified portfolio.

Expats also need to think about the other costs of living well in retirement that are just as vital as everyday expenditures. They might need to know how they will finance property purchases, whether they’ll be in a position to contribute to education fees for their children or grandchildren, and how they will finance the costs of healthcare or residential care in later life.

This becomes more complex because, in many countries, foreign nationals may not be entitled to state-funded care and will therefore need to be self-reliant. They will also almost always require comprehensive private health insurance to comply with visa requirements.

Once foreign national residents become permanent residents, this can change, but overlooking the financial burden of staying well can be a serious issue, particularly given the inevitable increases in health insurance costs as we age.

Reasons Longer Retirements Directly Influence Expat Financial Planning

Expat retirement plans encompass a wide range of aspects, from monitoring markets and portfolio risks and tapering these as individuals approach retirement to managing the complexities of cross-border taxation.

Longer retirements inevitably command higher incomes, and expats also need to consider currency fluctuations. Pensions and other assets held overseas naturally become more exposed to FX risks the longer they are held, and the likelihood of negative movements increases.

Inflation is another consequential element. A retirement spanning two or three decades means that the purchasing power of a pension or savings will erode over time, and in some cases rapidly, making growth-focused investments that outperform inflation an increasing priority over low-risk, low-return products.

Proactivity is key and ensures expats can make astute decisions without time pressures. They can then continue to track their portfolio performance long before they need to consider drawing on their retirement assets and make adjustments as necessary if returns are lower than expected, or new risks emerge.

Navigating Succession Planning as an Overseas Expat

Finally, expats may have their retirement portfolios and pensions under firm control, giving them the assurance that their wealth is more than adequate to finance their retirement. However, succession planning and potential inheritance tax exposure remain important.

With ongoing changes to inheritance taxes in various countries and the way specific assets are treated, it is important that expats ensure they have up-to-date, legally valid wills, understand how their estates will be taxed, and inform their beneficiaries of the provisions made.

They must also understand how forced heirship rules may affect their plans, depending on their place of residence, and may wish to seek professional support to protect beneficiaries from unnecessary inheritance tax charges.

Quantix Capital Initiates Strategic Review of $30 Million Japan Joint Venture to Accelerate Global Bio & Healthcare Expansion

Proposed collaboration with JDC and CygnusFly positions Japan as a strategic gateway for Asian and global healthcare markets

Seoul, South Korea, February 3, 2026 — Quantix Capital, a global investment and strategic advisory firm, has commenced a strategic investment review to evaluate the establishment of a joint venture in Japan with social enterprise JDC, in collaboration with CygnusFly. The review centers on a potential investment of up to USD 30 million and forms part of Quantix Capital’s mid- to long-term global healthcare expansion strategy.

The proposed joint venture is designed to assess opportunities to scale innovative biomedical and healthcare technologies, using Japan as a strategic entry point into broader Asian and global markets. Quantix Capital is leading the initiative, overseeing strategic direction, investment assessment, market-entry planning, and partner coordination, leveraging its international experience and global network.

Review of Biomedical and Medical Technology Assets

As part of the strategic review, Quantix Capital is evaluating a portfolio of technologies owned by JDC, including four pharmaceutical raw material technologies for rare diseases and five advanced medical and aesthetic device technologies. These assets have completed research and technical validation phases and are regarded as intellectual property with potential commercial application.

The evaluation focuses on global commercial viability, scalability, regulatory feasibility, and market suitability. Any reference to these assets is made strictly within the context of strategic review and assessment and does not constitute a commitment to investment, commercialization, or performance outcomes.

Strategic Infrastructure Considerations in Japan

The review also takes into consideration CygnusFly’s existing presence in Japan, its global network, and its technology-related cooperation as a strategic reference factors. CygnusFly has been active since the early development of the blockchain industry, building technology-driven infrastructure and global digital communities.

These networks may be evaluated as potential reference infrastructure for market entry and cross-border coordination; however, they should not be interpreted as assurances of distribution capability, revenue generation, or business performance.

Exploratory Review of Blockchain and Digital Infrastructure

As part of its broader strategic assessment, Quantix Capital is also exploring how blockchain-based infrastructure and digital asset frameworks could support future healthcare commercialization models. Areas under conceptual consideration include:

  • Blockchain-enabled data transparency and auditability
  • Tokenized incentive or participation frameworks for ecosystem stakeholders
  • Cross-border settlement and capital efficiency through digital assets
  • On-chain infrastructure as a complementary layer for global coordination

These considerations are exploratory and strategic in nature only and do not represent any commitment to token issuance, protocol deployment, or digital asset launches. Any potential implementation would be subject to regulatory review, jurisdictional compliance, and separate internal approvals.

Global Vision Sharing Event Scheduled for January 2026

An official event took place to share the global strategic outlook and JDC’s technology vision on January 12 to January 14, 2026, on Udo Island, Jeju. The event was intended solely to communicate long-term strategic direction and vision related to potential global healthcare and digital infrastructure expansion. It does not constitute a binding announcement regarding joint venture formation, investment execution, or digital asset initiatives.

Aligning Social Value and Global Investment Strategy

Through this strategic review process, Quantix Capital is examining investment structures that may align technology-driven social value with global commercial potential. Japan is being evaluated as an initial reference market, with any future expansion—across healthcare, technology, or digital infrastructure—remaining subject to further strategic, regulatory, and legal review.

“This initiative represents a strategic evaluation conducted from Quantix Capital’s global investment perspective. It is focused on assessing structural feasibility and long-term potential in international markets, rather than on predetermined outcomes or guaranteed results.”
Woochan Lee, Venture Partner, Quantix Capital
