The Optare Alero is a low-floor minibus with a glass-reinforced plastic monocoque body that Optare built between 2001 and 2008. It was made as an alternative to van-derived buses such as the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, and community transport groups and rural demand responsive routes were its main customers. About 300 were built in the first five years. It had a 2.8 litre Iveco turbo diesel engine with a six-speed manual or ZF automatic gearbox and seated twelve to sixteen passengers, depending on whether a wheelchair space was provided. It was relaunched in 2006 as the Alero Plus, with a 3 litre Iveco engine and the main battery moved to the boot.
