The Optare Delta is a single-deck bus body that Optare built on the DAF SB220 chassis. It was the company first full-size transit bus body, after earlier minibus bodies on Volkswagen and Mercedes-Benz chassis. It was announced in early 1988 and formally launched in June 1988 as the first body for the United Kingdom market on the SB220. The body had a sloping one-piece windscreen, gasket glazed windows and a bolted aluminium frame under licence from Alusuisse, and the front suspension could kneel. A DAF 11.6 litre turbocharged six-cylinder engine powered it. London Regional Transport took 35 between 1990 and 1992. Production ended in 1999 as the Optare Excel took over.
