History
As of 2008, theToro, Solera was imported by Optare from the Spanish manufacturer Ferqui, and marketed as Optare products. Due to significantly reduced demand for minicoaches and midicoaches, as part of its restructuring process, Optare took the decision to concentrate on its bus manufacturing activities and the relationship with Ferqui was formally ended in 2012.
