The Optare Tempo is an integral low-floor, heavy duty, full-size rigid single-deck bus that Optare launched in late 2004 to replace the Excel. It was designed as a lightweight bus using less fuel than traditional heavy duty integrals, and came in four lengths from 10.6 to 12.6 metres with a stainless and carbon steel structure clad in fibreglass and aluminium panels. The first production example went to Trentbarton in February 2005. A hybrid version for London followed in 2007, and a restyled Tempo SR arrived in 2011 with a 210 kW Mercedes-Benz engine. By July 2017 233 had been built, including 27 Tempo SRs, and production of the SR continued for the Australian market.
