Problem
Public transportation operators face increasing pressure to transition to zero-emission fleets to meet sustainability goals and comply with environmental regulations. Existing electric and hydrogen bus chassis often lack the necessary efficiency, modularity, and local support required for optimal performance and cost-effectiveness in diverse operating conditions.
Solution
ARCC designs and manufactures lightweight, modular electric and hydrogen fuel cell bus chassis, enabling public transport operators to transition to zero-emission fleets with greater flexibility and efficiency. Their Longreach series features a bolted aluminum chassis, reducing vehicle weight by approximately 2 tons compared to competitors, leading to increased energy efficiency and range. The company also offers the Hydrogen Power Module (HPM), a modular and remotely monitorable power system integrating Ballard fuel cells and other components. ARCC provides end-to-end solutions, including bespoke vehicle design, fuel cell servicing, and hydrogen refuelling infrastructure, ensuring a seamless transition to sustainable public transit.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes public transportation operators, government entities, and infrastructure providers seeking to deploy zero-emission bus fleets and related infrastructure.
