Ankai Delivers 215 NGV Buses to Monterrey, Mexico in 2026

Ankai Bus Kicks Off 2026 with Delivery of 215 Buses to Mexico

The new year begins with a fresh start and a significant milestone as Ankai Bus secures a "grand opening" in the global market.

On January 7, 2026, the "Ankai Bus Export to Mexico Ceremony for 215 Units" was successfully held at the Ankai manufacturing facility. These 215 natural gas (NGV) buses will cross the ocean to Monterrey, Mexico, where they will be integrated into the city’s public transportation system, providing low-carbon and energy-saving mobility solutions to empower local transit development.

Deep-Rooted Collaboration: A Legacy of Trust and Success in Mexico

The partnership between Ankai Bus and Mexico has long been a highlight of the industry. As noted by China Bus English Online, the 2022 order of 800 natural gas buses was a landmark event. At that time, Ankai secured the largest-ever order of Chinese buses exported to Mexico, with 10.5-meter NGV buses significantly improving local transit conditions and laying a solid foundation for Ankai’s expansion into the North American market.

Looking back, the foundations of this partnership are deep. Ankai began batch exports to Mexico in 2017. Over nearly a decade, Ankai’s natural gas buses have operated across major cities such as Monterrey, Chihuahua, and Juarez. With stable performance and environmental advantages, Ankai has become a vital force in local public transportation, establishing a strong reputation for "Made in China" quality.

Today, that trust has reached a new level. Following 18 months of dedicated effort, Ankai has secured this repeat order for 215 NGV buses. These vehicles feature lower gas consumption, stronger power, and longer range, utilizing superior performance and eco-friendly quality to accelerate Monterrey’s transition toward green urban mobility.

Empowering Sustainability: Driving Global Transit Upgrades

Located in northern Mexico at the foothills of the Sierra Madre Oriental, Monterrey is a picturesque and industrially developed city known as the "City of Mountains." Due to its forward-looking layout in ecological protection, Monterrey consistently ranks at the forefront of Mexico’s sustainable development.

The 12-meter NGV buses delivered in this batch are customized products precisely developed by Ankai based on the specific needs of the Mexican market. Using natural gas as the core power source, these buses significantly reduce emissions of carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides compared to traditional fuel buses. They align perfectly with Monterrey’s green development goals by practicing environmental protection while optimizing operational costs.

Ankai Bus has long adhered to a "long-termism" R&D strategy, increasing investment in core technologies across pure electric, hybrid, hydrogen fuel, and natural gas powertrains. Currently, Ankai’s green footprint spans the globe, including Russia, France, Italy, Thailand, Korea, Japan, and Kyrgyzstan.

Customized Service: Full-Chain Support for Worry-Free Operation

Ankai understands that premium products must be backed by comprehensive service, especially in overseas markets. To ensure the smooth operation of these 215 buses, Ankai has established a full-chain customized service system covering pre-sales, mid-sales, and after-sales support.

In the pre-sales phase, Ankai’s technical team conducted in-depth research into Monterrey’s operating scenarios, road conditions, and climate. The 12-meter NGV buses were optimized with a patented monocoque body for better gas cylinder placement, cathodic electrophoresis for enhanced anti-corrosion, and a low-entry step design to improve passenger comfort.

For after-sales support, Ankai will deploy professional service engineers to be stationed locally in Mexico, providing technical support, maintenance, and personnel training. This ensures that from customization to long-term maintenance, Ankai provides a "worry-free" experience for the customer.

A new journey begins. The departure of these 215 buses is a testament to Ankai’s strength in the American market and a vivid demonstration of Chinese "Intelligent Manufacturing" empowering global sustainable transport.
