    Benefiting from these numerous independent innovations, Ankai Bus has been able to keep pace with the times. It was among the first in China to layout new energy buses and was one of the earliest companies to obtain new energy bus announcements. Currently, Ankai Bus has completed the development of four generations of electric drive systems, four generations of vehicle control systems, and seven generations of pure electric buses. Driven by technology, the company has continuously improved product quality, earning recognition from numerous users.

    Currently, intelligence serves as a strategic pivot for the development of automotive companies. Building on its profound technological accumulation, Ankai Bus has taken the lead in deploying autonomous driving and actively promoted the application of 5G+ autonomous driving technology, seizing the high ground of industry development. As early as 2017, Ankai Bus conducted a trial run of autonomous buses on public roads in Shenzhen, Guangdong, which was a global first. In 2020, Ankai's autonomous buses were put into regular operation on Anhui's first 5G open road demonstration line for autonomous vehicles, providing strong support for the commercialization of autonomous vehicles in the region.

    Ankai Bus has also developed an L4 autonomous bus equipped with a 500+TOPS automotive-grade computing platform, laser radars, millimeter-wave radars, ultrasonic radars, and visual perception devices. Through artificial intelligence, automatic control, and visual computing, the bus can navigate complex road scenarios, perform autonomous obstacle avoidance, lane changing, emergency braking, and automatic stopping at stations, demonstrating driving skills comparable to experienced drivers and significantly promoting the upgrade of urban intelligent transportation.
