This year’s ALBUM Conference theme is ‘The bus as a force for good’, and Optare will be exhibiting their Metrocity xFE which delivers up to a 7% fuel savings when compared to a standard Euro 6. The manufacturer famed for its innovation, efficiency and sustainability builds its vehicles using a space frame construction rather than a body on chassis design and incorporates the latest technologies to minimise weight and maximise fuel efficiency or electric vehicle range.

The interior of the Metrocity xFE is finished to a high standard with leather quilted seating, built in USB chargers, coordinated wood effect flooring, and hand poles and skylights to create a light and comfortable interior. This high specification interior is designed to aid operators in their campaign to encourage passengers to make the choice of bus rather than car or taxi and help improve air quality and congestion in our towns and cities.
