铝制革命性底盘公司（ARCC）成立于 2016 年，致力于开发在澳大利亚设计和制造的零排放巴士底盘。该公司打算挑战传统的公共交通方式，将车辆从柴油发动机转向电力和氢气等替代燃料，从而颠覆该国的交通市场。
澳大利亚在 20 世纪 90 年代末引进了液化天然气/压缩天然气公交车，希望它们能为该国的公共交通网络提供更清洁的燃料来源。然而，在这几年中，柴油机一直保持着竞争优势，如今澳大利亚各地的许多车辆仍在使用柴油机。
ARCC 认识到变革的紧迫性，决定开发两辆原型巴士--一辆为全电动巴士，另一辆为氢燃料巴士。新设计从头开始，目的是减轻公共汽车的总重量，并减少公路行驶所需的能源。实现这些目标意味着 ARCC 可以提供无排放公交车和大幅减少碳足迹的双重效益。
就在此时，加德纳-丹佛运输公司找到了他。2012年，ARCC与Wrightbus合作，在1000辆新型混合动力伦敦Routemaster巴士上安装了Hydrovane压缩机。这家澳大利亚公司想更多地了解该项目，以及最终如何开发出支持所有机载气动功能的软件包。
经过初步交谈，ARCC 随后参观了加德纳丹佛公司的雷迪奇工厂，以更好地了解该公司如何支持其电动汽车的推广。ARCC 的大卫-埃文斯（David Evans）会见了加德纳-丹佛运输公司的电动汽车专家团队，后者推荐了 TA02 压缩机，该型号的压缩机已在伦敦新巴士项目中成功安装。
加德纳丹佛运输公司澳大利亚销售经理 Dion Pearson 解释了该项目的发展过程："很明显，ARCC 需要一个坚定的合作伙伴来实现其目标。在最好的情况下打入一个成熟的市场是很困难的，尤其是在引进新技术或未经验证的技术时，因此公司需要一个能够确保卓越品质和持续支持的合作伙伴。
这项工作取得了巨大成功，ARCC 随后任命加德纳-丹佛公司为其最新的氢燃料公交车原型开发工作。加德纳丹佛公司需要一种更轻、更坚固的压缩机，因此提供了一种使用 TX02 的新组合。该机型集成简单、设计轻巧、运行安静，是电力驱动的理想之选。此外，TX02 还没有振动，这意味着乘客和行人可以享受到舒适的旅程，这也是该市场运营商的一个重要考虑因素。
Pearson 补充说，ARCC 项目凸显了加德纳丹佛运输公司是如何利用其在英国的集中化专业技术与当地服务中心相结合的："我们很好地利用了我们在澳大利亚的国际网络和地区业务，为客户提供了快速有效的跨境解决方案。我们的团队与英国总部进行了协调，尽管存在时差，但仍能在预算范围内按时完成项目"。
"加德纳-丹佛公司在过去四年中发挥了不可或缺的作用，在我们为澳大利亚提供可持续公共交通的努力中发挥了关键作用。该公司的产品很容易集成到我们的底盘上，但团队明确表示，他们很乐意在必要时进行改装。当您要制造一款采用领先零排放技术的汽车时，这种支持是至关重要的。我们想要最好的产品，因为我们的目标是成为最好的，生产澳大利亚设计和制造的巴士。
加德纳丹佛公司与 ARCC 公司的合作是其合作方式和满足海外市场客户需求能力的典型体现。该项目还展示了公司的工程技术专长，开发出能够解决最新行业挑战的产品。

Founded in 2016, the Aluminium Revolutionary Chassis Company (ARCC) is committed to the development of a zero emission bus chassis that’s designed and built in Australia. The company intends to disrupt the country’s transport market by challenging traditional approaches to public transport, moving vehicles away from diesel engines and instead towards electric power and alternative fuels such as hydrogen.
Australia introduced LNG/CNG buses in the late 1990s in the hope they would support a cleaner source of fuel for the country’s public transport network. In the intervening years, however, diesel has maintained a competitive edge and many of the vehicles in service around Australia today remain reliant on it.
Recognising the need for urgent change, ARCC decided to develop two prototype buses – one fully electric model and another running on hydrogen fuel. The new designs were built from the ground up, with the aim of reducing overall bus weight and the energy required to power them on the road. Meeting these aims meant ARCC could deliver a dual benefit of emissions-free buses with a greatly reduced carbon footprint.
Gardner Denver’s work with ARCC is typical of its collaborative approach and ability to meet the needs of customers in overseas markets. The project also showcases the company’s engineering expertise, developing products that are capable of solving the latest industry challenges.

“Gardner Denver has been indispensable throughout the last four years and has played a key role in our efforts to provide sustainable public transport in Australia. The company’s products are easily integrated on our chassis but the team has made it clear they are happy to accommodate modifications where necessary. This kind of support is vital when you’re creating a vehicle with leading zero emission technology. We wanted the best products as we aim to be the best, in producing our Australian-designed-and-built bus.”
It was at this point Gardner Denver Transport was approached. ARCC came across the company’s earlier work with Wrightbus in 2012, which saw Hydrovane compressors installed on 1000 new hybrid-powered London Routemaster buses. The Australian company wanted to know more about the project and how the final package was developed to support all on-board pneumatic functions.
After an initial conversation, ARCC then visited Gardner Denver’s Redditch facility to get a better understanding of how the company could support the rollout of its own electric vehicles. David Evans at ARCC met with Gardner Denver Transport’s team of e-mobility experts who recommended the TA02 – the same model of compressor that was installed with great success across the New Bus for London project.
Dion Pearson, Sales Manager for Gardner Denver Transport in Australia, explains how this project developed: “It was clear that ARCC needed a committed partner to achieve its aims. Breaking into an established market is difficult at the best of times, particularly when introducing new or unproven technology, so the company needed a partner who could assure excellence and ongoing support.”
The work was such a success that ARCC then appointed Gardner Denver to work on its latest bus prototype powered by hydrogen fuel. Needing a lighter, more robust compressor, Gardner Denver offered a new package using the TX02. This model is ideally matched to electric drives, with its simple integration, lightweight design and quiet operation. The TX02 is also vibration-free, meaning passengers and pedestrians are guaranteed a comfortable journey – a key consideration for operators in this market.
As Pearson adds, the ARCC project underlines how Gardner Denver Transport is able to use its centralised expertise in the UK alongside local service centres: “We’ve made good use of our international network and regional presence here in Australia to deliver a quick and effective cross-border solution for the customer. Our team coordinated with HQ in the UK and, despite the time difference, were able to keep the project well on time and within budget.”
