Efficient driving requires an efficient and durable power source. Volvos 13-litre Euro 5 /EEV diesel engine optimises strength, reliability and economy. With 420 or 460 hp and massive torque from very low revs, it will take your passengers to their destination swiftly and safely. The smooth ride comes from the engines nature but also from the 12-speed Volvo I-Shift gearbox. Its a genuine Volvo development and its designed to fully comply with the character of our engines. Rapid gear-changing, electronically controlled and especially adapted to coach touring. The control software is optimised for high average speed, low fuel consumption and fewer gear changes, which gives increased cruising comfort, extended mechanical lifetime and reduced emissions. Uphill, downhill, heat and icy winds. No matter the road conditions, Volvo safety remains. The brakes are very powerful and have electronic brake force distribution, which allows for safer driving. A powerful retarder can take care of much of routine braking and reduce lining wear.
Long service life A Volvo is built to last. The service intervals are long, due to the durability of the mechanical design. For example, the rear axle does not need attention until after 400,000 km on the road.
Frame structure The feeling of quality is apparent in a Volvo coach. One of the reasons is its structural strength and stability. This reduces noise, vibrations and harshness, providing quiet and steady ride comfort.
Maintenance Productivity is further enhanced by the long service intervals and simplified maintenance. And choosing a service contract will give you complete control of running costs and assurance that only Genuine Volvo Parts are used and fitted by experts.
