Dysons Buses, Shepparton (Australia) – Christ NOVA bus wash system for an always clean fleet
Dysons Buses has been one of the leading bus operators in Melbourne and regional Victoria for more than 70 years. For its new bus depot in Shepparton, Australia, the company was looking for an efficient, reliable and resource-saving bus wash system for its commercial vehicle fleet. The decision was made in favour of an automatic Christ NOVA three-brush bus wash system with underbody wash andwater treatment.
“With the new Christ NOVA bus wash system, we keep our bus fleet reliably clean in day-to-day depot operations. The automatic three-brush system shortens our wash times, improves wash quality and significantly reduces water consumption thanks to water recycling.”
Dysons Buses, Shepparton bus depot (Australia)
Dysons Buses operates one of the largest bus fleets in Victoria and has stood for safe, punctual and comfortable passenger transport for decades. A key part of this quality promise is a clean, well-maintained and consistently presented bus fleet – from city buses through to intercity and school buses.
For the newly built bus depot in Shepparton, Dysons Buses was looking for a modern, automatic bus wash system that could ensure high vehicle throughput, short waiting times and consistently high wash quality. At the same time, operating costs, water consumption and manual labour were to be permanently reduced.
The company opted for a Christ NOVA three-brush bus wash as an automatic gantry system. The system is specially designed for city and intercity buses and combines intensive side and front/rear brushing with a high-pressure underbody wash. This means that not only large visible surfaces, but also hard-to-reach areas in the chassis are thoroughly cleaned – an important factor for maintaining value and protecting against corrosion in daily depot operation.
Another key criterion was the integrated water treatment system with fully automatic water recycling. Thanks to the high proportion of reclaimed water, Dysons Buses significantly reduces its fresh water consumption while at the same time lowering disposal costs – a clear advantage in terms of environmental protection, sustainability and operating cost control in the commercial vehicle depot.
The Christ NOVA bus wash system is manufactured in Germany and is regarded worldwide as a proven solution for commercial vehicle wash systems in bus depots, transport operators and municipal fleets. In Australia, the project was implemented together with our long-standing partner Levanta, which, as the exclusive distributor for Christ bus wash systems, provides local consulting, installation, service and after-sales support. In this way, Dysons Buses benefits from German engineering combined with the expertise of an experienced local service team.
Today, the new automatic bus wash system for commercial vehicles in Shepparton ensures that the Dysons Buses fleet leaves the depot clean, representative and ready for service every day – with maximum process reliability, high availability and optimised wash workflows.
