SINGAPORE, Oct. 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — In a landmark collaboration, Singapore Battery manufacturer Durapower Holdings Pte Ltd (Durapower) and leading Australia Zero-Emission Bus Manufacturer, ARCC, have established a business venture to pioneer the successful integration of Durapower’s leading battery technology with ARCC’s battery electric and hydrogen buses.

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’s 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.”

Mr 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“, Mr 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.” Mr 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.”

Mr 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.” 

The official launch of the Durapower ARCC collaboration is on 7th October 2024, at Durapower’s Singapore office.

Since its founding in 2014, XbotPark has successfully incubated over 80 companies, including six unicorns valued at $1 billion or more, such as NARWAL, HAI ROBOTICS, CiDi, EcoFlow.

“Historically, Chinese products prioritized the domestic market before global expansion. Today, our startups are designing products for global audience from the very beginning, incorporating a deep understanding of regional consumer needs,” explained XbotPark founder, Professor Zexiang Li. He emphasized the significance of CES as a platform for startups: “While Narwal and EcoFlow were already well-known in China, CES played a crucial role in their global recognition. This year, we are empowering more startups to leverage CES to connect with customers, gain media exposure, and propel themselves to the forefront of their industries.”

Removing Barriers to Turn Dreams into Reality

XbotPark has cultivated a robust ecosystem designed to empower early-stage entrepreneurs to overcome the key challenges of “product definition” and “mass production” in their entrepreneurial journeys.

Leveraging its network of bases across China, XbotPark offers mentorship programs to guide early-stage founders in developing user-oriented mindsets, refining product definitions, and strategizing development and prototyping.

In addition, XbotPark offers XCM (XbotPark Collaborative Manufacture), a one-stop manufacturing solution powered by a network of over 100 supply chain partners.

“XbotPark empowers startups to develop truly original products that often define entirely new categories, pushing the boundaries of technological complexity,” said Professor Zexiang Li. “This commitment to innovation requires a robust support infrastructure, such as XCM, which helps startups overcome manufacturing hurdles. At CES 2025, we look forward to connecting with international partners who can benefit from these valuable resources.”

XCM has empowered over 50 startups to ship a total of 260,000 units, maintaining a 100% on-time delivery rate for crowdfunded projects and significantly accelerating their product development cycles.

For example, LiberLive’s success exemplifies how XCM can help startups scale rapidly. By utilizing XCM’s resources, LiberLive rapidly scaled production from a few hundred to tens of thousands of units, capturing a key market opportunity.
