The 13.7 meter long coach can hold 53 re-clined seats, and with the high level of travel comfort and the fuel efficiency of B9R, the company expects the bus will perform very perfectly on long, intercity roads in country.

And now, the Volvo’s bus bodies are being manufactured by Volvo Bus Body Technologies India, where Volvo occupied 70 percent and Jaico Auto holds 30%. This has offered Volvo with extra flexibility with respect to production plans and enhancement in a quality and the consistency.

    i loved the b7r’s . i will travel in the b9r i hope. volvo is awesome . i can’t spot the difference between
    volvo b7r and jcbl kinglong kl 6113
    (i am unsure about the model no) .
    both are awesome .

    the travel was great . but jcbl has a upper hand in time display
    (big lcd occupying the front of the cabin at the left ) and audio with impressive
    low frequency .

    these are not available in volvo b7r . hope it is available in b9r .

    why there are 4 pedals in volvo b7r .

    1 accelerator
    2 brake
    3 clutch

    4 ?

    Does anyone know the accelaration details of a Volvo B7R.
    That is how many seconds to go from zero to sixty? and how many seconds for zero to 100 kmph?
