This milestone collaboration is the first of its kind for an Australia bus manufacturer.
ARCC’s partnership with Durapower will demonstrate the opportunity to offer bespoke battery solutions to bus operators, with an industry-first scalable battery program that will allow for the matching of battery systems to route requirements and charging systems.
“The ability to tailor and change battery capacity on buses means operators now have an option of flexibility not previously available in the market.” ARCC Managing Director Peter Murley commented.
Durapower Group CEO Kelvin Lim said, “Durapower’s launch into the Australian market with ARCC not only demonstrated the viability of zero-emission public transport but also marks the beginning of a new and innovative potential industry on Singaporean and Australian shores, with technology transfer planned between the companies.” He further added that, “This promises a sustainable future as well as the potential for new economic and employment opportunities in both countries.”
Lim said, “Durapower and ARCC are keen to demonstrate how the collaboration between industry participants with aligned technologies has the ability to set a precedent for future green technology initiatives.”, adding that, “This collaboration between us will not only support ARCC’s buses, but will establish the foundation for Durapower to consider new industry opportunities in Australia that further promise to bolster the future economy and create local jobs.”
“The success of this collaboration is setting a new standard of innovation, showcasing the tangible results of combining ARCC’s and Durapower technological advancements, to build world-class eco-friendly buses in Australia,” Murley said. “Both companies share a vision for a cleaner, greener public transport sector; our joint dedication to pioneering new solutions has been the catalyst for advancing local innovation into practical vehicle-based solutions.”
“The Durapower ARCC partnership advances a sustainable technical solution that not only addresses climate change but also supports economic growth and job creation.” Murley commented. “By supporting initiatives like this, we’re not just contributing to our climate goals but also securing a prosperous, job-rich future for the next generation.”
Lim remarked, “The partnership with ARCC is a model we believe will inspire further collaboration between the businesses in the sector, amplifying the growth and impact on the industry and the environment.”
