UK bus maker Optare says its new Eco Drive is a new idea in bus development, offering operators "the widest choice yet in drivelines and eco-friendly fuel options" from a single supplier. The aim is to "future-proof" vehicles and bus fleets against growing environmental pressures, rising fuel costs and concern about fuel sources in the medium to long term. Optare says its unique removable power pack means the Eco Drive system works for new vehicles and can be retrofitted to existing fleets. It offers a viable quick fix now as well as benefits for the future. The range of options on offer includes enhanced diesel systems, alternative fuels, hybrid and electric technologies.
