The Silk Road bridges the past and present, and cooperation embarks on a new journey. Under the Belt and Road Initiative, connectivity between China and Central Asia has grown increasingly close. Recently, a fleet of Ankai E90 buses made a grand entry into Chirchiq, Uzbekistan, officially commencing operations on three core routes. With outstanding performance, the new buses have reshaped the city's public transport image and set a new benchmark for China-Uzbekistan livelihood cooperation.

On the day of the event, the Mayor of Chirchiq personally presided over the ceremony, joined by the Director of the Tashkent Regional Transport Department. Ankai Bus, as a Chinese representative, was invited to witness the occasion and received exclusive media interviews. This delivery not only earned high praise from local officials and public opinion but also demonstrated the strong reputation of "Made in China" through tangible market results, further consolidating Ankai's development foundation in the Central Asian region.

As a core hub of Central Asia, Uzbekistan has been firmly committed to high-quality urban development, vigorously promoting the modernization, greening, and standardization of its public transport system. In recent years, with sustained increases in the country's infrastructure investment, the need to phase out aging transport capacity and upgrade public services has become increasingly urgent. Efficient, energy-saving, and highly adaptable modern passenger transport equipment has thus become a core necessity for livelihood construction. 

With over a decade of deep engagement in the heart of Uzbekistan, Ankai Bus has not been content with mere product exports. Instead, it has steadfastly pursued a path of localized cultivation and customized empowerment. To precisely align with regional realities, Ankai's international marketing team went to the front lines, conducting in-depth research on complex road conditions, distinctive energy structures, and diverse operational scenarios, while closely integrating local travel habits and urban planning blueprints. The result is the Ankai E90 – a 9-meter gas-powered bus "ace" model tailored specifically for the local market.

Leveraging its profound manufacturing expertise, the Ankai E90 integrates multiple advantages including energy efficiency, reliability, ride comfort, and driving stability, directly addressing key pain points in local bus operations. With precise positioning and superior quality, the model has gained broad recognition from customers, with repeated orders coming in steadily. Cumulative sales have reached the hundred-unit mark, with the vehicle's presence spanning multiple key cities across Uzbekistan, successfully establishing a strong product reputation and benchmark effect.

Seizing new opportunities in local energy transition and green mobility, Ankai Bus continues to refine its product portfolio, launching diesel and pure electric variants on the same platform. With a diversified, full-scenario product strategy, Ankai comprehensively addresses the long-term upgrade needs of Uzbekistan's bus system. The recent delivery of 35 E90 buses to Tashkent Region stands as yet another testament to Ankai's decade-long commitment and its localized strategy that precisely empowers regional development.

For a long time, China and Central Asian countries have adhered to the principle of mutual benefit and win-win cooperation, continuously deepening pragmatic collaboration across various sectors. Transport connectivity, in particular, has become a key focus of bilateral cooperation, opening up vast new horizons for Chinese independent brands to go global. The wave of urban upgrading and transport transformation across Central Asian countries represents not only a regional development opportunity but also a perfect stage for Chinese intelligent manufacturing to shine on the world stage and demonstrate China's global commitment.

As a benchmark enterprise in China's bus export sector, Ankai Bus has closely the nation's opening-up strategy. With over a decade of deep cultivation in the fertile ground of Central Asia, the company has moved beyond the simple model of complete vehicle exports, embracing a long-term, localized operational approach. Targeting Central Asia's complex road conditions, diverse climates, and unique urban mobility characteristics, Ankai has carried out targeted vehicle development, technical calibration, and scenario-based customization, establishing an integrated mobility solution that encompasses R&D adaptation, vehicle delivery, and operations and maintenance support.

From the implementation of multiple bulk bus projects across various regions to the deployment of new energy buses on urban trunk routes, fleets of Ankai buses have become a familiar sight on the streets of Central Asian cities. Relying on its solid core manufacturing capabilities, Ankai continuously enhances vehicle safety, energy efficiency, and intelligent performance, ensuring stable operations through high-standard quality control. Beyond delivering high-quality bus products, Ankai simultaneously exports mature bus operation and management expertise along with localized after-sales service systems, helping multiple Central Asian countries improve their public transport networks and drive urban livelihood upgrades.

One journey forward, one new chapter written. The successful deployment of these 35 Ankai E90 buses marks both a culmination of Ankai's decade-long presence in Central Asia and a brand-new starting point for the company's continued commitment to overseas markets and global transport development. Looking ahead, Ankai Bus will remain grounded in the real needs of overseas markets, driving product iteration and service system optimization. On the grand canvas of the Belt and Road Initiative, Ankai will continue to write a fresh chapter in the global journey of Chinese brands.
