Ankai Bus Glorious Global Journey in 2025

The Spring Festival marked a flying start for Ankai Bus, as a grand fleet of 276 buses set sail for Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the Philippines, and Thailand. Featuring flagship models like the N71 and N12, this shipment signaled a magnificent transformation for Ankai—from single-product exports to exporting a comprehensive "technology + services" industrial chain. This powerful launch set the stage for a year of remarkable sales momentum.

At the start of the year, Ankai Bus and its UAE dealer officially launched four premium models, including the A12 and E12, in Dubai. The debut not only highlighted Ankai's product strength in new energy and high-end buses but also introduced innovative transportation solutions to the strategic Middle Eastern market, driving an upgrade in the region's green travel experience.

In early summer, Ankai carried the low-carbon wave of "Intelligent Chinese Manufacturing" to the heart of Central Asia, delivering a batch of 120 new energy buses to Kyrgyzstan. As a key part of a green transport upgrade project financed by the Asian Development Bank, this delivery set a new historical record for the largest single order of pure electric buses in Kyrgyzstan, injecting fresh momentum into sustainable transportation development across Central Asia.

In September, Kyrgyz President Sadyr Japarov personally attended the opening ceremony of an electric vehicle maintenance center in Bishkek, offering high-level national praise for the Ankai new energy buses. This milestone elevated Ankai from a "transportation service provider" in Central Asia to a "national strategic partner," serving as a diplomatic model of how a Chinese brand can earn international respect through technological excellence.

At Busworld in Belgium—the global showcase for the bus industry—Ankai unveiled its fourth-generation pure electric open-top double-decker bus, the E12S, along with the micro-circulation bus E60. Blending aesthetic appeal with cutting-edge technology, both models created a sensation upon their debut. The immediate deployment of these buses in Paris marked Ankai's successful entry into the elite tier of the global high-end bus market, showcasing the technological confidence behind "Intelligent Chinese Manufacturing."

A shipment of 30 Ankai natural gas buses arrived in Nigeria, aligning perfectly with the energy transition strategy of Africa's largest economy. By offering tailored solutions—featuring high load capacity and heat resistance—Ankai provided clean energy alternatives that effectively addressed urban transport challenges in cities like Lagos. This delivery set a new benchmark for green industrial capacity cooperation between China and Africa.

As the year drew to a close, coinciding with the 35th anniversary of China-Saudi diplomatic relations, Ankai held a grand ceremony to mark the cumulative delivery of 1,800 buses to Saudi Arabia in 2025, complete with a symbolic handover of golden keys. After 18 years of deep market presence and nearly 13,000 cumulative deliveries, Ankai and its partners have become deeply integrated into "Saudi Vision 2030." Through high-end models like the N12 and N71, supported by round-the-clock on-site services, this achievement represents more than just commercial success—it stands as a vivid testament to the strategic mutual trust between China and Saudi Arabia, providing a perfect exclamation point to Ankai's global journey throughout the year.
