  • Triumph Trident 660 recalled over weak kickstand

    Triumph Trident 660 recalled over weak kickstand

    Some 83 Triumph Trident 660 sportbikes were recalled in Vietnam since their kickstands may be prone to bending.

    The units were made in Thailand between Feb. 7 and May 15 last year, according to Vietnam Register.

    A representative of Triumph Vietnam said the kickstand of affected bikes had been manufactured with the use of an incorrect specification of raw material that causes it to bend over time.

    This could result in the bike falling over if parked for extended periods.

    Dealerships in Vietnam will replace the faulty component without any charge between May 30, 2022 and May 25, 2024.

    Triumph Trident 660 was launched in Vietnam in early April, with a price tag of VND270 million ($11,640).

  • BSNL to offer carrier billing for Amazon Prime

    BSNL to offer carrier billing for Amazon Prime

    Mobile technology company Fortumo is providing its Trident Bundling Platform for India’s BSNL to help the state-owned operator distribute Amazon consumer services in the market.

    With the integration, BSNL is offering subscribers one years’ subscription to the Amazon Prime shopping and entertainment platform on certain of its plans.

    The Trident Bundling Platform is designed to allow operators to establish and expand partnerships with OTT service providers by allowing the delivery of digital products packaged with mobile services to support carrier billing.

    OTT companies need only integrate with the platform once, and can then establish multiple bundle partnerships across a variety of potential commercial scenarios.

    Fortumo VP of global business development Andrea Boetti said such operator partnerships are ideal for markets such as India, where smartphone penetration in the country is above 35% but only 3% of the adult population owns a credit card.

    “Interest towards VOD services is today growing the fastest in South-East Asia, Europe and the Middle East. Local telecommunication companies and their marketing capabilities offer the best way for VOD providers to engage this audience,” he said.

    “Fortumo’s Trident supports VOD providers in getting these new users on board as quickly as possible.”

  • Trident launches first branded products in China

    Trident launches first branded products in China

    Vertically integrated US giant Trident Seafoods is launching its first retail branding and marketing initiative in China. Timed to coincide with the grand celebration of Chinese New Year beginning Feb. 8, the company will also introduce a Chinese version of its corporate website to communicate directly with Chinese consumers via the Chinese social media platform WeChat.

    The Seattle, Washington-based company, one of the largest in the US, is sponsoring promotions utilizing two Chinese e-commerce channels: YiGuo.com, which is one of the biggest online fresh food platforms in China, and YouPin Food.

    The partnership with YiGuo.com allows the company to offer wild Alaska king crab directly to the Chinese consumers in a retail channel.

    As part of the push, Trident will be supplying 1,000 whole, wild Alaska king crab, individually packed in dramatically decorated red and gold protective boxes.

    The company will also be offering wild Alaska sockeye salmon portions and wild Alaska smoked salmon to online consumers.

    A fleet of trucks, featuring an Alaska crab fisherman, a large king crab, and the Trident logo is currently delivering the special gifts through YiGuo.com in Shanghai.

    “What better time could there possibly be to introduce these truly amazing, ruby-red seafood items that we harvest from the pristine waters of Alaska,” said Joe Bundrant, Trident’s CEO. “We’ve been celebrating these products for decades ourselves, and we are very proud to be able to share them now with Chinese consumers who understand their great value and incredible ‘Wow!’ factor.”

    Trident’s partnership with YiGuo.com opens access to three additional online sales channels through YiGuo.com’s official website; they include YiGuo.com’s mobile app, Alibaba’s Tmall online Supermarket (Tmall Chaoshi) and YiGuo.com’s online flagship store at Tmall.com.

    Throughout 2016, Trident will introduce additional products from Alaska and elsewhere, assuring Chinese consumers of a steady supply of healthy, safe and delicious seafood products under the Trident brand.
