On February 4, 2025, Ankai Bus held a grand “Global New Year Celebration” bulk vehicle delivery ceremony at the Ankai factory. The event marked the start of a promising year, with Ankai Bus Chairman, General Secretary, and CEO Huang Liping, along with the company’s leadership team and relevant department heads from production and sales, gathering to support Ankai’s strong entry into the overseas market in 2025.
The First Delivery of the New Year: Vehicles Across Thousands of Miles Painting a Bright Future
Currently, Chinese buses are making waves internationally, with market penetration increasing year by year. Ankai Bus, with its rich overseas experience, reliable product quality, and precise understanding of international markets, is steadily expanding globally. Having exported to over 100 countries and regions, Ankai is on a firm and continuous growth path.
During the New Year launch ceremony, Ankai showcased its strong international presence, with 276 buses ready to depart for countries such as Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the Philippines, and Thailand. This first batch of meticulously crafted vehicles is set to meet diverse transportation needs, including public transport systems, highway passenger services, and business travel, across multiple countries and regions.
The 276 delivered vehicles include Ankai’s high-end N71 and N12 models. The N71 integrates safety intelligence, luxury, and craftsmanship, featuring a high-performance Yuchai engine paired with a five-speed transmission system, creating a powerful and economical drivetrain. After 18 months of performance testing and 100,000 kilometers of road reliability verification, the vehicle is perfectly suited for different road operating conditions in various regions.
The N12, a new creation based on Ankai’s continuous innovation and strength, breaks traditional design aesthetics. The vehicle interior offers unobstructed views and a bright, transparent layout. It is equipped with the “PM1.0-level” fifth-generation indoor environment health system and a three-dimensional acoustic package cabin. The core components have been optimized for NVH, ensuring comfort and quiet operation, meeting the high-quality travel demands of passengers in different countries.
Since its launch in 2024, the Ankai N12 has rapidly become a star product in Saudi Arabia’s high-end passenger market, becoming highly sought after. Moving into 2025, Ankai continues its momentum, with the N71 and N12 leading the charge, further strengthening its position in multiple countries, especially in Saudi Arabia, marking a new chapter in its overseas expansion.

In 2024, Ankai Bus demonstrated robust growth in its overseas endeavors, from launching operations in the Dominican Republic to multiple successful deliveries in Saudi Arabia and even shining with double-decker buses in Paris. Ankai continues to move forward, strengthening its internal capabilities, focusing on key areas, and consolidating its core product competitiveness. The company is actively expanding its international market footprint, steadily advancing toward a broader global stage.
In 2025, Ankai will continue to build momentum, embarking on a new journey. This large-scale delivery not only demonstrates the strength of Ankai’s products but also highlights the continuous rise of its brand influence in international markets. Ankai will take this opportunity to establish more professional and efficient service teams and build a comprehensive, multi-layered service network. This ensures that global customers enjoy high-quality vehicles and a comfortable riding experience while also benefiting from efficient, “Chinese-style” after-sales service.
New Year, New Aspirations, and a New Journey
