Ankai Showcases Four Buses at Hefei Public Transport Reform Conference
11 November 2026
On November 6, a policy briefing and innovation conference on deepening urban public transport reform was held in Hefei, Anhui Province. Hosted by the China Urban Public Transport Association and co-organized by Hefei Public Transport Group, the event gathered industry participants to discuss the recently issued national guidance on public transit reform.
Outside the venue, Ankai displayed four electric bus models: the E90, E78, E90D and E12S. Tailored for different application scenarios, the lineup addresses the practical needs of urban public transport operators amid the industry reform.
For regular urban commuting, the E90 and E78 form a well-balanced fleet combination. The 9-metre E90 pure electric bus is designed for main trunk routes and high passenger-flow corridors. It features a low-floor, wide aisle and one-step entry for easy boarding and alighting. The compact E78 comes with a short rear overhang and a small turning radius. Highly manoeuvrable, it suits feeder routes and microcirculation lines in narrow urban streets.
For urban tourism and sightseeing, Ankai presented the retro-style E90D tram-style bus and the E12S double-decker sightseeing bus. The E90D adopts a classic vintage appearance with red-and-white livery. Its interior is fitted with retro seats, booths and lounge tables, together with an on-board karaoke system, turning the vehicle into a mobile city lounge. The E12S double-decker sightseeing bus boasts large panoramic windows on the upper deck. Equipped with a wheel-drive powertrain, it delivers smooth and quiet rides. Custom exterior livery and themed interior options are available to match local cultural features and scenic spots, serving as a mobile city landmark.
Ankai will keep developing scenario-based bus products to support the high-quality and sustainable development of urban public transport.
