After GMC successfully launched the Hummer EV Pickup, the company announced new electric trucks and SUVs with multiple customization configurations, including a 3X trim package.

The 3X line of vehicles was initially intended to launch during the fall of 2022, but consumers have had to wait until mid-2023 for a Hummer EV Pickup to arrive with 22-inch wheels and 35-inch all-terrain tires. Meanwhile, the Hummer EV SUV will only become available in 3X trim for the 2024 model.

When released, GMC’s Hummer SUV and pickup will be available in two trims, Edition 1 and 3X.

For the pickup version, the 3X trim version can be equipped with an optional extreme off-road package. Meanwhile, the SUV sees both 3X and Edition 1 vehicles come with the option for an off-road package.

In addition to increased customization, GMC has announced that the new vehicles can travel 355 miles on a single charge. However, this figure will decrease if a customer has specced their vehicle with mud tires, skid plates, and other weighty accessories.

GMC is still keeping quiet about some of the new vehicle specs. Still, we do know that they will feature the same three-motor layout as previous generations, with outputs of a frankly insane 1,000 horsepower and a gargantuan towing capacity of 7,500 to 8,500 pounds.

Despite a rather hefty starting price tag of $80,000, consumer interest is building for GMC’s new electric trucks. Preorders went live in September 2022, with reservations quickly hitting 65,000. Although waiting lists are at full capacity, GMC has more electric vehicles in the pipeline, including the Sierra Denali truck and Chevy Silverado.

neopay wants to follow merchants across channels and borders

It’s been a long time since checkouts were single defined places. A merchant might take payments at a physical register, on its own website and through an online marketplace, sometimes in more than one country. NEOPAY wants to follow those transactions wherever they happen.

The UAE payments company has entered into an agreement to acquire a 65% controlling stake in noon payments. NEOPAY already runs the acquiring infrastructure that lets merchants accept card payments, along with omnichannel acceptance and a merchant services platform. This new deal would add noon payments’ embedded payments platform, e-commerce gateway and merchant network across the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Egypt. That would considerably expand both NEOPAY’s digital commerce capabilities and its regional reach.

For merchants, the attraction is a single provider for online and in-store payments, plus faster settlements, data and analytics, and value-added financial services.

“Payments should be simple, reliable, and built for the markets they serve,” said Faraz Khalid, CEO of noon. His counterpart at NEOPAY, Vibhor Mundhada, added: “We have built a strong payments business in the UAE, and our ambition is now to take that capability across the region”. The acquisition, Mundhada added, would “expand our footprint into Saudi Arabia and Egypt” while reinforcing NEOPAY’s position at home.

NEOPAY is also keen to point out potential payment volume increases. The company says noon payments’ integrations with marketplace sellers and online merchants create high transaction density in some of the region’s fastest-growing digital commerce segments. It also believes control of the business would give it access to those merchant relationships and payment flows, and speed up the rollout of alternative payment methods and installment options.

The combined roadmap targets faster merchant onboarding, better payment performance, tighter fraud controls and embedded financial services. The deal could also strengthen cross-border payments and settlement along key regional commerce corridors.
