A gathering in Hefei, a global rendezvous. On the morning of September 20, the 2024 World Manufacturing Convention grandly opened in Hefei, Anhui. As a significant event in the manufacturing sector, this "world stage" carries numerous new expectations, aiming not only to seize the opportunities presented by the new round of technological and industrial revolutions but also to play a crucial role in promoting high-quality development in manufacturing. In fact, since its inaugural edition in 2018, the World Manufacturing Convention has successfully been held for six consecutive years, each time showcasing the charm of "intelligent" manufacturing and enhancing its international presence. This convention has opened a "door of opportunity" for global manufacturing exchanges and cooperation, while also providing an important platform for numerous "Anhui enterprises" to venture overseas.

The event brought together over 50 renowned brands, exhibiting nearly a hundred of their latest products, including Ankai's newest model of autonomous bus. Equipped with an L4 autonomous driving system, this autonomous bus can safely and efficiently navigate various complex traffic conditions around the clock and in all weather conditions. It can easily handle rainy, snowy, and foggy weather, as well as perform flexible turns, actively avoid pedestrians, autonomously follow/overtake vehicles, automatically stop at stations, and park itself. With a maximum speed of 60 km/h on open urban roads in fully autonomous mode, it demonstrates higher safety standards, a more comfortable experience, and improved traffic efficiency.

As one of the primary automotive manufacturers in Anhui, Ankai has frequently achieved innovations in the field of autonomous buses. In 2017, Ankai's autonomous bus conducted trial runs in Shenzhen, becoming the world's first autonomous bus to operate on public roads. In 2020, Ankai's autonomous bus was deployed on Anhui's first 5G open-road demonstration line for autonomous vehicles. In 2022, Ankai's L4 autonomous bus began regular operations on public roads in Hefei's Baohe Economic Development Zone, marking the province's first autonomous bus route.
