Optare
Optare is a relative newcomer to the market. The Leeds (UK) based manufacturer was formed from the Roe bodyworks of the former British Leyland empire and initially built products to Leyland design and acquired the rights to MCW products, before gaining a reputation for stylish, trend setting designs. The company has had a checkered pattern of ownership, initially joining an ill-fated Dutch group involving DAF, being taken over by East Lancs who renamed themselves Optare the company is now owned by Tata, the Indian based owners of Ashok Leyland. The company is very forward looking in future proofing designs for different energy sources.
