On June 26, Ankai Bus hosted a new product launch event themed Sixty Years of Endeavor, Innovation Paves the Way for the Future in Hefei. Industry experts, partners, and media representatives from across the country gathered in this renowned science and innovation city to witness the debut of six brand-new Ankai bus models, jointly embarking on a new chapter of high-quality development for the bus industry.

Six decades of trials and triumphs, forged through dedication and ingenuity. Li Ming, Member of the Party Committee of JAC Holdings, Deputy Party Secretary and General Manager of JAC Co., Ltd., and Huang Liping, Party Secretary and Chairman of Ankai Bus, attended the event. Yin Xingke, Member of the Party Committee and Assistant to the General Manager of JAC Holdings, spoke highly of Ankai's achievements over the past sixty years. As the company stands at the threshold of the 15th Five-Year Plan period, he outlined new development requirements for Ankai. Wang Lifei, Deputy Party Secretary and General Manager of Ankai Bus, affirmed the company's commitment to product upgrades, service quality enhancement, and deeper cooperation to better serve global customers.

With decades of industry experience, Ankai's reliable quality has earned widespread market recognition. The launch event drew a large turnout of key domestic and international clients. Customer representatives took the stage one after another, sharing stories of long-term cooperation and explaining why they choose and trust Ankai—offering strong testimony to the brand's product competitiveness and solid market reputation. Mainstream industry media and guests were also present to witness the unveiling.

The event reached its climax as invited guests jointly kicked off the launch ceremony, where six new models—the N90E, N71E, K60, K75E, G67E, and E12S—made their grand debuts. Ankai's product specialists then elaborated on the core advantages and technological breakthroughs of each model, demonstrating the brand's robust strength in innovation and scenario-based product development.

Against the backdrop of profound structural changes in China's passenger transport sector, market demand is shifting toward refinement, quality, and efficiency. Guided by real-world application scenarios, Ankai has revamped its R&D strategy, focusing on four key segments: scenic area shuttle services, high-end business travel, urban-rural commuting, and group passenger transport. The company launched four benchmark models designed to address operational challenges, cut costs, and improve service efficiency.

A highlight of the event was the N90E, tailor-made for the demanding road conditions of mountain scenic areas. Tuned with extensive road data collected from sixteen famous mountains nationwide, the model features six exclusive custom designs for scenic routes. It effortlessly handles long steep slopes, continuous sharp bends, and frequent start-stop operations, attracting significant attention and praise from on-site clients.

The N71E, a flagship model for high-end business transport, made its debut with comprehensive upgrades. Featuring exquisite craftsmanship, flexible seating layouts, and multiple optional configurations, the cabin is bright, quiet, and spacious. Equipped with an immersive audio-visual system that supports mobile office work, it ensures a comfortable journey, winning unanimous acclaim from clients and journalists.

Ankai also brought new highlights to public mobility. The all-new K75E and K60 mid-size buses from the K series were unveiled together, targeting urban-rural passenger transport, group commuting, and township public transport. Both models feature comprehensive upgrades in exterior design, safety protection, energy efficiency, and practical functionality, with spacious cabins, robust bodywork, and human-centered configurations.

The K75E achieves an optimal balance between energy efficiency, riding comfort, and loading capacity. It is equipped with an integrated electric drive axle, a silicon carbide high-efficiency controller, and front-and-rear air suspension. In addition, it offers a generous dual storage space consisting of a 1.7-cubic-meter rear trunk and an extended middle compartment, ideally meeting the demand for cost-effective urban-rural transport and group travel.

The K60 also delivers outstanding performance. As the industry's first 6-meter Class I highway coach with an integral body structure, it adopts a high-efficiency powertrain featuring Yuchai's second-generation 170-horsepower diesel engine paired with a 6-speed transmission. Its front independent air suspension ensures a smooth ride, making it a practical, high-safety, and cost-effective choice for tourist transport and other scenarios.

Riding on the momentum of green transport and cultural tourism consumption, Ankai has steadily advanced the integration of green technology and intelligent solutions. The newly upgraded G67E and E12S made stunning appearances at the event, targeting urban-rural public transport and city-wide cultural tourism respectively. With a full-coverage, high-quality, and intelligent public transport product portfolio, Ankai drew many guests to board the vehicles and speak highly of their performance.

The G67E is designed for integrated urban-rural transport and urban microcirculation services. Its smooth body lines and two-tone styling present a compact yet elegant appearance. With optimized wheelbase and width, it maximizes interior space within a compact footprint, delivering transport capacity comparable to an 8-meter bus. The digital cockpit enables intelligent interaction, while the ultra-rigid chassis and high-safety body form a solid protective structure that balances comfort and reliability.

The E12S, the fourth-generation double-decker city sightseeing bus, became the biggest attraction of the event with its striking looks and performance. Inheriting the avant-garde family design of the E series, the model features a futuristic and highly recognizable appearance. Its double-deck layout offers ample passenger space and panoramic views. Full-body custom painting and themed interior designs are available to match local city characteristics and scenic spots, making it ideal for city sightseeing and cultural tourism routes.

Sixty years of ingenuity have laid a solid foundation for Ankai's new journey. From tourist transport and urban-rural commuting to business travel and city tours, Ankai Bus is reshaping its product development philosophy around real-world application scenarios. Moving forward, with forward-looking planning, competitive products, and premium user experiences, Ankai will continue to lead the development of green and intelligent mobility. On the road toward building a powerful transport nation, Ankai will bring Chinese buses to more destinations across the globe.
