The Bus Division Range of Irisbus

The bus market is very exacting across the whole of the British Isles. This is true whether the
operation is rural or urban, a feeder route or a complete city centre stage carriage service.

With the pressure on reducing road congestion, every effort is being made to entice the
travelling public away from their motorcars and into public transport. In many areas, the bus is
the only real alternative and, indeed, for many people such as the elderly or less privileged, it is
the only means of travel available to them.

All customers demand, and have every right to expect, first class service in terms of timing and
reliability with buses that provide them with the ultimate in ease of access, comfort and a travel
experience equal to their expectations.

Irisbus recognise these aspirations and have used their wealth of knowledge and skill in solving
passenger transport problems world-wide to bring to the market three individual bus products.
Each one brings with it a wealth of benefits and an ability to provide a solution to many of the
issues facing the operator today.

The Irisbus Agora Line is a purpose
designed city bus featuring the latest
technology both in the product and its
manufacture. It will be at home both in city
centres and suburban environments where
all passengers expect to complete their
journey quickly, and in comfort.

The chassis is built at the Irisbus plant at
Annonay but finished, glazed and interior
trimmed by Optare. This has allowed Irisbus
to combine their worldwide manufacturing
expertise with the local market knowledge
offered by Optare. The result is a bus that
precisely meets the operational demands of
the UK market.

An overall length of 12 metres safely accommodates up to 41 seated passengers plus 32
standees, dependent on layout, in seats from Richards and Shaw featuring the comfort and
luxury of stylish blue moquette.

An unobstructed floor, well positioned handrails and an aisle width of 450 mm makes movement
through the saloon easy and safe.

Performance is assured by the Iveco Cursor engine, a fully electronic unit
featuring the latest technology and providing 245 horsepower. Passenger
comfort is assured by the use of full air suspension to both axles and
safety is assured by the use of full air brakes with discs all round.
