At this early morning Beijing time, the 2024 Paris Olympic Games kicked off. On the banks of the Seine, 31 "Hefei-made" new energy vehicles were officially put into service, departing from the Eiffel Tower and heading to various Olympic venues, bringing a new experience for tourists from all over the world to "check in" at the Paris Olympic Games.

These 31 new energy vehicles are the world's first convertible pure electric double-decker buses, carefully built by Anhui Ankai Automobile Co., Ltd., with a body length of 12 meters and can accommodate 72 passengers at a time. The entire bus is divided into two floors, the upper floor adopts a semi-convertible design with a 360-degree viewing field, and the lower floor adopts a low floor and wheelchair area design to provide convenience for all kinds of tourists.

On the streets of Paris, tourists spend more than 40 euros to buy an unlimited all-day ticket, which allows them to travel around the Olympic Games area. Currently, this bus is very popular among tourists, and ticket sales are very impressive. "During the Olympic Games, Paris provides many sightseeing vehicles, but ours is the only pure electric double-decker bus." Wang Lian, general manager of the Eurasian region of Anhui Ankai Automobile Co., Ltd., said that this bus not only does not emit automobile exhaust gas, but also produces very little noise during driving, which can further enhance the comfort of tourists. "According to feedback from on-site staff, many tourists would rather wait half an hour longer to take this bus."

In addition to the common features of new energy vehicles, this car also has its own unique advantages. Fang Weiyuan, director of the body room of the Public Bus Research Institute of Ankai Technology Center, said that the double-decker bus fully considers various factors of ergonomics and has anti-slip patterns on the seat surface. The bus is also equipped with an eight-country voice synchronization system and a USB port to provide convenient services for global tourists.

Advanced technology supports all these conveniences and comforts. As the world's first pure electric double-layer convertible model, this car is the first to use a number of leading technologies such as an all-aluminum body and wheel-side electric drive axles. "Lightweighting is the mainstream of new energy vehicle development. The all-aluminum body design is lighter than similar steel products, making the vehicle more energy-efficient." Fang Weiyuan said that they abandoned the traditional welding process and innovatively adopted the riveting process. The structural parts are riveted hole to hole, which is conducive to improving the installation accuracy of the body and parts. "This requires very high craftsmanship. If there is a deviation in one position, it cannot be spliced ​​together."

Why can "Made in China" products like Ankai New Energy Vehicle shine at the Paris Olympics? "Strong independent research and development capabilities and a complete industrial chain and supply chain system have greatly enhanced the core competitiveness of China's new energy vehicles." Zhang Daisheng, secretary general of the Anhui Automobile Engineering Society, analyzed that during the Olympic Games, Hefei's new energy vehicles shined on the streets of Paris, showing the world the development vitality of China's manufacturing industry, and it is enough to prove that "Made in China" has won the recognition of the international market and consumers.
