800 Chinese high-end buses head to Saudi Arabia

Eight hundred Chinese buses departed Hefei, capital of East China's Anhui province, on Tuesday morning, heading to Saudi Arabia.

The buses, made by Anhui Ankai Automobile Co, have a combined contact value of about 400 million yuan ($63.6 million).

The deal, contracted in February, is said to be the biggest export order of buses won by a Chinese automaker so far in 2018.

Ankai entered Saudi Arabia in 2007. The company exported 3,000 school buses and 600 A9 model high-end buses to the country in 2011 and 2017, respectively.
