• Optare's double-decker version of the Metrorider will be launched by next April, says Optare managing director Russell Richardson.
He promises that the new bus will be powered by a Daf engine in low and normal height versions, with a sixwheeler for the Far East market. The body will be based on Alusuisse principles, says Richardson, "but they haven't made a complete decker before", he adds, "so it will be a blend of their materials and our experience." It is not yet decided if production will be an Anglo/Dutch project or handled entirely by Optare's Leeds plant.
