Versa – style and comfort redefined

Versa – taking passenger
transport in a whole new direction

As a true pioneer of the bus and coach industry, Optare is committed to

innovating and developing new concepts in style and functionality,
delivering solutions that answer the diverse demands of today’s public
transport sector.

We know that to stay ahead of the game takes vision and an ability to
identify fresh opportunities in the market place where we can fill a niche,
meet a requirement and satisfy the specific needs of operators and
passengers.

It’s a uniquely proactive approach and it’s led to us creating the most
exciting new departure in midi-bus styling, economy and flexibility for
years – the Optare Versa.

Until now operators have had to compromise. If you wanted a longer bus
with a heavyweight construction and optimum seating capacity, you
invariably had to sacrifice fuel-efficiency and manoeuvrability.

Versa changes all that. Available in 9.7, 10.4 and 11.1m lengths, it’s a
vehicle that gives you the best of both worlds, offering space for up to 40
seats whilst still remaining incredibly agile on the tightest roads.
You’ll notice exceptionally low noise levels inside the vehicle too – and
Versa is equipped with Optare’s Smoothride suspension system, created
specifically to provide passengers with exceptional new standards of
travel comfort.

In short, if you’re looking for a mid-range bus with real flexibility, economy
and style, there’s now so much more room for manoeuvre with Versa.

Spacious yet uncompromisingly swift, Versa is a bus that truly breaks the
mould.
The wheels are positioned conventionally with a practical wheelbase so you
can negotiate tighter turning circles comfortably. What’s more, it’s as light as it
is speedy, with a low unladen weight ensuring class leading fuel economy.

The Versa’s stunning, contemporary design is based on tried, trusted and

truly progressive technology. Its striking exterior features a curvaceous front
profile, with shaped quarter windows styled to deliver low aerodynamic drag,
and LED light units adding a cutting-edge touch to the front and rear.

There’s also a choice of SCR and EGR Euro 5 engines from Mercedes-Benz,
and Cummins. Moreover, whichever engine you choose, you can call on
power that’s managed through Allison 2100 series automatic transmissions
with ‘Generation 4’ controls.

We can also offer zero emission full electric, hybrid, bio-methane dual fuel,
pure plant oil or used cooking oil drivelines – all designed to fit within the
same space envelope as the standard diesel powerpacks.
get the hard facts on easy maintenance

Taking manoeuvrability and economy to exciting new levels, the Optare Versa
is a bus that’s designed to put you on the road in style – and keep you there.

It beautifully blends an integrated driveline package with a host of long life,

low maintenance features, to maximise uptime and help operators reduce
running costs.

Its cradle mounted power pack utilises no loss couplings and can be
removed, repaired and quickly replaced if major overhaul becomes
necessary, so that the vehicle can be put back into revenue service fast. This
technology makes it easy to install alternative power systems too, ensuring
the Versa is a great investment for the future.

There’s also a multiplexed electrical system which allows faults to be

checked, located and remedied quickly and easily using a simple lap-top
based diagnostic programme. Not to mention Optare’s trademark fully
integral frame construction in durable stainless steel, which gives it
uncompromising strength.

Whatever challenging environments you operate in, you can rely on the
Optare Versa. It takes passenger transport in a whole new direction.
Future proof technology

Optare’s low weight design already sets the benchmark

for fuel economy. Now our EcoDrive dashboard and
intelligent OptaremisingTM software, which helps
your drivers to save fuel and allows you to
monitor their driving styles, puts us even further
in the lead.

Multiplex wiring systems carry a vast amount of performance

monitoring and command data to enable the bus to function. Optare
EcoDrive takes this a stage further by gathering and processing it into useful
information that can be presented in a simple way to both the driver and the operator,
to support them in their efforts to achieve greater fuel efficiency.

There’s also the ability to use an optional telematics transmitter to transfer data in real
time back to the depot or traffic office via existing telecom network systems so you can
instantly see where your vehicle is, diagnose faults, monitor driver performance and
much, much more.

To future-proof your operations and maximise fuel economy, fleet efficiency and
passenger comfort, we use integrated technologies - feature packed electronic
systems that are designed into the vehicle at the point of manufacture. These systems
work hand-in-hand with the existing multiplex electronics controlling our vehicles, and
as a result provide you with increased reliability, higher performance and greater
functionality than bolt-on systems.

We also recognise that with rapidly developing low-carbon technologies, bus operators
need vehicles that can be updated to stay ahead.

Our unique demountable power pack means our entire product range is future proof
and can be easily upgraded over the life of the bus, whether with more efficient diesel
technology, alternative fuel options, or hybrid or zero emission full electric drivelines.
