As 2020 is drawing to a close, it is fitting to review what has been achieved in this year so as to prepare for a more prosperous year. Ankai, as one of the major bus makers in China, has made impressive achievements despite all challenges and difficulties.
In October this year, 202 units Ankai new energy buses started operation in Lingbi county, Suzhou, Anhui province, providing unprecedented travel conveniences for local citizens. The huge improvement in people’s travel in Lingbi is not just a single case. Actually, Ankai has been attaching paramount importance to bringing better transportation services to China’s vast rural areas. To achieve the goal, it has successfully developed G6, K8 and K7 buses to better suit the road conditions in the countryside.
Another highlight this year for Ankai is that its autonomous driving buses officially started operation in Macau in October. Thanks to its relentless efforts to promote the commercial operation of autonomous driving vehicles, Ankai autonomous driving buses have been in smooth operation in Shenzhen, Tianjin, Guangzhou, Wuhan, Hefei and a number of other cities across China. In addition, they have made their way to Japan. By working closely with Huawei, China Netcom and China Information and Communication Technology Group, Ankai is determined to embrace new technologies and play a leading role in the bus manufacturing industry.
Earlier in 2020, as COVID-19 spread fast, Ankai donated 8,000 facial masks and 1,000 kg disinfectant to Hefei Public Transport. Later, it sent much needed PPE to its overseas partners in over 10 countries, helping them combat the virus. In addition, it quickly rolled out its fourth generation interior environment health system for buses, creating a healthier and more comfortable environment for bus drivers and passengers.
In June this year, Ankai electric bus development & industrialization project and Ankai A9 high-end coach development won the first and second prize for their contribution to the technological progress in Anhui.
