Durability and Maintenance
The Opus Low-Floor Bus utilizes the Aluminique™ modular bolted aluminum system, which combines remarkable structural strength with low overall weight. Because of the Opus’ lighter overall weight, it offers better fuel economy and less pollution, noise and wear and tear on streets. The bus’ modular construction and split pillar design permits fast, economical repairs. In addition, Opus’ heavy-duty chassis, developed by Optima, offers a minimum service life of 12 years or 500,000 miles.
