An example of the Renault Agora L bus from 1997, low floor, 18 metres in length, motor power 187 kW (253 hp) or 214 kW (290 hp), seen at the Opéra bus station. The model was acquired in large numbers by the RATP, the Parisian transport authority. Most are diesel, but natural gas powered versions (of the replacement Citelis model) are becoming more numerous.
Since 2002 it has been known as the the Irisbus Agora, a joint-venture with Fiat subsidiary Iveco from 1999, with Iveco engines. It has also been built by Czech-based Karosa under the Citybus name as a diesel-powered bus, and Skoda as a trolleybus in Eastern European markets. The model ceased at the end of 2005 and the last was delivered to the RATP in February 2006.
