Currently city population is over than countryside population, marking a new urbanization process. And the transportation congestion is spreading to second and third tier cities. 



Development of city buses are preferred by most giant cities in the world, and public transport even takes over 60% passenger carrying tasks in Tokyo, Paris, London, Singapore, Hong Kong and Seoul. China Ministry of Transport has risen to conduct "public transport city" project, namely, citizens in 30 selected cities can find bus stops within 500m and it takes less than 5 min to transfer buses and city buses can take more than half of the public transport in 2013. 

Many transport companies head expressed their opinions for the vision, such as Song Huaxin, GM of Hefei Public Transport Group and Hefei Baima Bus Company, and he said that selection of monocoque buses can effectively improve service levels as well as save costs with safe, economic and environmentally friendly vehicles. 

Baima Bus Company has employed buses and coaches with monocoque structure since 2002, and currently 90% of their buses are such ones. And the Ankai buses features safety and energy-saving, which shocks Mr. Song the most. One of their monocoque bus has crashed with a small bus in front, and the small bus was heavily wrecked and many passengers died, however, there is no one died inside the city bus. So the safety is recognized by the whole company. On energy-saving, monocoque fuel-prudent can amount to 8-10% with 1-2 tons lighters over conventional buses. Ankai monocoque buses inherited from German Kassbohrer high-end coaches, and they can also provide perfect after-sales services.
