JAC Ankai Buses Shines at World-Class Football Tournament After Nearly A Decade of Local Development in Mexico
Anhui, China, June 30 – The FIFA World Cup 2026 is now in full swing across North America, with 48 top teams competing for glory. Three host cities in Mexico are welcoming floods of football fans worldwide, driving continuous peaks in passenger travel demand throughout the tournament.
Having cultivated the Mexican market for nearly a decade, Ankai Buses, under JAC Group, adheres to a long-term global development strategy and continues to deepen its layout across North America. Since the delivery of its first batch of exported vehicles in 2017, Ankai's product footprint has steadily expanded to cover major Mexican cities including Monterrey, Chihuahua and Ciudad Juárez, achieving a comprehensive upgrade from complete vehicle export to localized technical adaptation.
Fully adapting to Mexico's stringent market access regulations and complex mountainous road conditions, Ankai develops customized local vehicle models based on its independent R&D accumulation. Featuring outstanding operational stability and low-carbon environmental performance, Ankai buses have become one of the mainstream public transport vehicle brands in Mexico.
In Monterrey, one of the host cities of the major international sports event, Ankai's green transportation capacity has been deeply integrated into the city's urban development. In 2022, a batch of 800 units of 10.5-meter natural gas public transport buses were officially put into operation in Monterrey, marking the largest single export order of Chinese buses in Mexico's history.
At the beginning of 2026, another 215 upgraded natural gas buses were delivered to the city, further expanding Monterrey's low-carbon public transport fleet. To date, more than 1,000 Ankai clean energy buses are running on the streets of Monterrey, connecting commercial districts, residential areas and major transportation hubs, and forming a stunning mobile green landscape across the city.
Backed by solid local operation experience, Ankai's clean-energy buses undertake key passenger transport missions during the World Cup, offering reliable, eco-friendly mobility for massive football supporters. Moving forward, Ankai will keep optimizing localized vehicle solutions and after-sales service systems, expanding its influence across Latin America and delivering sustainable green public transport solutions to global customers.
