Optare and Tranzit Group, New Zealand

When Optare secured the contract from Tranzit Group to build 114 Metrocity buses for the New Zealand capital of Wellington, they knew that they needed a lightweight floor which was quick and easy to install and with wide design possibilities, as they needed the flooring to match The Greater Wellington Regional Council livery colours.
Knowing this, Optare specified Altro Transflor Chroma in a 2.2mm thickness in a self-adhesive solution, making use of our custom colour design service to create exactly the design they wanted.
Altro’s self-adhesive solution ensures that speed won’t be a sticking point in your installation. With no solvent adhesives used, Optare found that not only were their production times cut, but made safer for their installers as well, with the reduced VOC emissions. Our self-adhesive solution also allowed Optare to make an adhesive weight saving of 60% per square metre compared to a standard contact adhesive.
