ARCC LONGREACH electric Bus

Lightweight design makes it highly ENERGY efficient and cost-effective to run.

The ARCC Longreach is our flagship vehicle, proudly engineered, tested, manufactured, and supported in Australia with the highest local content. The Longreach Electric, a sister model to the Longreach Hydrogen, is designed to accelerate the adoption of zero-emission buses (ZEBs) by offering multiple power trains.

As the third generation of ARCC’s ZEB series, this production-ready model builds on the success of its predecessors, which have excelled in government trials for their class-leading efficiency, thanks to a lightweight aluminum chassis and body. The latest generation is optimized for driveability, serviceability, and passenger comfort, offering the highest efficiency in its class for 18T GVM 12.5m city buses, verified independently.

The Longreach Electric features a customizable battery system designed with safety in mind. The water-cooled batteries are tailored to Australian conditions and scalable based on operator needs, with options from Webasto, Durapower, and Microvast, all safeguarded by Klinefire fire suppression systems.

The roof power system is interchangeable between electric and hydrogen, providing operators with flexibility and peace of mind. This modular design extends vehicle life and simplifies servicing, ensuring critical systems are easy to manage.

Electric. Simplified. Efficient.
