On September 17, the 22nd China-ASEAN Expo (CAEXPO) and China-ASEAN Business and Investment Summit (CABIS) kicked off in Nanning, Guangxi. With the theme "Digital Empowerment for Development, Innovation for a Shared Future—Harnessing the Opportunities of Version 3.0 of the China-ASEAN FTA to Build a Community with a Shared Future," this year’s event brought together 3,260 enterprises from 60 countries, showcasing the fruitful achievements and boundless potential of China-ASEAN cooperation across multiple dimensions.

This year marks the signing of the Protocol to Version 3.0 of the China-ASEAN Free Trade Area (FTA). As a pivotal platform for enhancing the quality and upgrading of China-ASEAN economic and trade cooperation, the event not only injected vigorous momentum into the Belt and Road Initiative but also provided a high-end and international showcase for China’s commercial vehicle industry. Seizing the opportunity, Ankai Bus made a striking appearance with two innovative products: the luxurious highway bus N12 and the standing-free bus E70, demonstrating the robust strength of "Made in China" through excellent design and leading technology.

China and ASEAN are close neighbors, good friends, and reliable partners connected by mountains and rivers. In recent years, the two sides have actively engaged in friendly cooperation, continuously enhanced mutual understanding and trust, and achieved common development and revitalization. As a pioneer in exploring overseas markets among Chinese bus manufacturers, Ankai Bus has strategically expanded into the ASEAN market, supporting the steady global expansion of "Made in China" and empowering the robust growth of ASEAN’s transportation sector.

The Ankai N12 luxury highway bus, unveiled at the event, is a high-end masterpiece born from Ankai’s keen insight into market trends, continuous self-breakthroughs, and precise upgrades. With its grand yet elegant streamlined design, exquisite craftsmanship, and humanized comfortable driving space, the N12 instantly became the focus of attention at the expo, showcasing the brand’s leading strength and distinctive style.

The N12 features Ankai’s unique full-load-bearing technology and a high-strength steel frame, combined with lightweight design, achieving both safety and weight reduction. Equipped with a new-generation golden power chain and an autonomous ATS intelligent control system, it intelligently adjusts the speed ratio according to operating conditions, significantly reducing fuel consumption while delivering stronger power and higher energy efficiency. This achieves an excellent balance between performance and energy efficiency, enabling it to effortlessly meet diverse practical operational needs.

The vehicle is also equipped with Ankai’s fifth-generation "PM1.0-level" internal environment management system and has undergone NVH optimization for key components, greatly enhancing cabin quietness. The driver’s area adopts a car-like layout and can be outfitted with advanced features such as a color LCD instrument panel, a large-screen intelligent terminal, a multi-function steering wheel, and an EPB electronic parking brake. These not only improve driving convenience but also infuse the journey with a strong technological ambiance, earning unanimous praise from domestic and international customers.

As the wave of global green cooperation sweeps across the world, China and ASEAN are accelerating the construction of a new low-carbon cooperation framework, tied together by the concept of green development, to jointly address the era’s challenge of climate change. As a pioneer in the new energy sector, Ankai Bus is writing a new chapter in sustainable transportation on the canvas of regional green transformation, using innovative technologies as the brush and clean energy as the ink.

At this grand event, Ankai Bus also presented the aesthetically pleasing and highly efficient E70 pure electric bus. This model combines multiple advantages, including ultra-lightweight design, spacious interior, intelligence, high performance, high safety, and superior comfort. It not only meets the modernization needs of urban public transportation systems but is also widely suitable for diverse scenarios such as airport shuttles, tourist routes, and community microcirculation lines, demonstrating the flexible application potential of "one vehicle, multiple functions."

The E70 features a standing-free design, paired with a wide aisle and more seating arrangements, significantly enhancing passenger comfort and safety. It is an ideal choice for urban public transportation systems moving toward refinement and diversification. Meanwhile, the vehicle supports the integrated application of multiple intelligent configurations. Leveraging core advantages such as a long wheelbase, short rear overhang, large battery capacity, compact size, high passenger capacity, and strong climbing ability, it redefines the new standards for segmented markets in modern public transportation.

Standing at a new starting point for international cooperation, Ankai Bus will continue to use technological R&D as its engine and a global vision as its blueprint. It will stay attuned to the pulse of the times, accelerate its overseas layout, continuously increase product development and technological investment, actively promote the development of new transportation models, and help "Made in China" reach a broader world!
