Optare

When most commentators were saying continental-style low floor buses would always prove too expensive for UK manufacture, Optare bucked the trend. We proved that not only could we design and build excellent products in this sector, but could also do so cost effectively.

The result is a comprehensive range of revolutionary award winning designs, all fully integral with stainless steel structures and a whole host of optional features that allow the customer to specify exactly what they need for their services.

We have always offered an exceptional choice of options in our buses and coaches. Now, with ever more stringent emissions legislation, we’re the only manufacturer offering our customers a choice of either SCR or EGR engine technology across our bus range.

Through the use of fully integral designs our heavy-duty product range is also low on weight, so we’re not only greener and more fuel-efficient than the competition, but provide our customers with significant advantages in their whole life operating cost profiles.
