Optare Alero
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Optare Alero is a low-floor integral bus built by Optare since 2000. It was built as an alternative to van-derived buses such as the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter.
The Alero has been popular for rural demand responsive bus routes, such as Hampshire's Cango.
Options for the Alero include:
- Automatic Gearbox
- Full capacity (up to 16 seats, no wheelchair space)
- Rural capacity (up to 12 seats with a space for wheelchairs)
- Destination box
[edit] Alero Plus
The Alero has now been superseded by the new Optare Alero Plus. It is the Alero but with more and upgraded features. Optare claimed this to be a different vehicle.
Two Alero Plus demonstrators are currently touring the country, showing operators what the Alero Plus is capable of.
