With nearly a decade of deep cultivation in the Mexican market, Ankai Bus has shone brilliantly at the world-class football extravaganza with its formidable strength.

As the 2026 FIFA World Cup™ intensifies across North America, 48 top-tier national teams are competing fiercely, while Mexico's three host cities are welcoming a massive influx of global football fans, driving continuous peaks in event-related passenger traffic.

As a core host city in northern Mexico, Monterrey is scheduled to host three group-stage matches and is the only Mexican venue to also host a Round-of-16 knockout match. During the tournament, the city has seen a new surge in travel demand from spectators. Leveraging nearly a decade of deep-rooted presence in the local market, Ankai has deployed multiple clean-energy buses across the city's public transport network, providing stable and reliable transportation support to ensure smooth spectator travel throughout the event.

Deep Local Roots Empower Large-Scale Event Traffic with Green Buses

With nearly ten years of dedication to the Mexican market, Ankai Bus has steadfastly pursued a long-term development strategy in North America. Since the first batch of vehicles was exported in 2017, Ankai's product footprint has gradually expanded to cover key Mexican cities including Monterrey, Chihuahua, and Juárez, evolving from complete vehicle exports to localized technical adaptation. Navigating Mexico's stringent access regulations and complex mountainous terrain, Ankai has leveraged its proprietary R&D expertise to develop localized models. With outstanding stability and low-carbon environmental performance, Ankai has established itself as a leading bus brand in Mexico.

In Monterrey, the host city for major international events, Ankai's green mobility deployment has become deeply integrated into the city's development. In 2022, 800 units of 10.5-meter natural gas buses were put into operation in Monterrey, setting a record as the single largest order for Chinese bus exports to Mexico. In early 2026, an additional 215 units of upgraded natural gas buses were delivered, further expanding Monterrey's low-carbon bus fleet. Today, over 1,000 Ankai clean-energy buses are running through the streets of Monterrey, connecting commercial districts, residential areas, and major transport hubs – forming a striking green mobile landscape across the city.

To ensure seamless travel for spectators, Monterrey has launched four dedicated official event shuttle routes, linking key passenger flow nodes including the international airport, civic plazas, high-end hotel clusters, and core commercial districts, directly reaching the main venue – BBVA Stadium. Nearly 80% of the buses operating on these dedicated routes are Ankai natural gas buses. With powerful performance, excellent fuel efficiency, long range, and human-centric driving and riding features, these vehicles effectively alleviate the pressure of sudden surges in event-related passenger flow, delivering a safe, smooth, and convenient travel experience for global fans.

Meticulous Service and Robust After-Sales Support Underpin Peak Urban Mobility

During the group stage of this grand event, Ankai buses have already successfully completed multiple rounds of event travel support missions. As the thrilling Round-of-16 knockout matches commence, stadium traffic and operational intensity have further escalated, with round-the-clock zero-failure operation becoming a core requirement. This marks another occasion – following the 2024 Paris International Sporting Event – on which Ankai has implemented a comprehensive green mobility support solution at a world-class sporting event.

To meet the demand for zero-failure vehicle operation during peak passenger flow periods, Ankai Bus has collaborated with local partners to establish a complete operations and maintenance support system to safeguard event travel. Both parties have stocked sufficient emergency spare parts in advance, assembled dedicated professional O&M teams, and implemented a full-process, meticulous service protocol that includes comprehensive pre-event vehicle inspections and on-site standby throughout the event – effectively preventing vehicle operational issues at the source and ensuring the continuous, stable, and orderly operation of event shuttle routes.

With nearly a decade of deep cultivation in Mexico, Ankai has established its green vehicles as a cornerstone of Monterrey's urban transport, while its refined after-sales services have become a reliable pillar for the city's major event transportation support. Accompanying Monterrey's steady urban development, Ankai continues to polish the overseas reputation of Chinese buses. Looking forward, Ankai Bus will continue to refine its products, upgrade supporting services, steadily expand into global markets, export green mobility solutions, and write a new chapter in the overseas journey of buses made in China.
