Setra is a manufacturer of commercial buses and a subsidiary of DaimlerChrysler. Setra also produced pneumatic rifles between 1960-1980.
The first Setra bus, the Type S 8, was introduced in April 1951 at the German International Motor Show. It featured a self-supporting body designed by Otto Kässbohrer , a concept now featured in most modern buses.
Unlike its North American competitor Motor Coach Industries, Setra has experience with export markets and has suffered less than that company in recent years.
