Volvo PX platform that provides
even better grade ability and accel-
eration as well as enhanced stability
and larger luggage space. The new
coach also packs a performance like
never before with the New Volvo
11-litre engine with 370 hp. Another
key feature is the steerable tag-axle
for better roadhandling and manoeu-
vrability. The automatic gear chang-
ing system provides high drive and
ride comfort, better fuel economy
and high braking power of 400 to
600 kW.
The spacious interior of the vehi-
cle offers opportunities for custom-
ers to incorporate a range of passen-
ger conveniences like pantry, toilets,
etc.
If the Volvo 7400 helped move
people away from their personal ve-
hicles and save fuel, emissions and
road space, the Volvo 7400XL will
do this with even greater intensity.
It can carry almost 55 per cent more
people and as a result, improve upon
fuel and road space use by as much
as 30 per cent. Imagine what this
can do for growing cities, high
occupancy routes and for de-
congestion? The savings are
profound.
Most importantly, this new
city bus from Volvo comes after
10 years of deep understanding of
high-performing bus applications in
India. Manoeuvrability in the city
is gracefully tackled by the steered
tag-axle allowing the bus to take on
tight roads and turns of a city.
Built for Asia, from Asia
The company enters the second
tier of routes in India with the Volvo
9100 Coach. This is a global intro-
duction for Asia, from Asia. This
new coach is an integral part of Vol-
vo Buses’ ambition to drive quality
of transport across the country to
more and more cities and routes.
Bus industry (Auto Expo preview)
The Volvo 7400XL is India’s first
multi-axle bus with a steered
axle. It is ready to support ef-
ficient mass bus-based transport
systems to move more people. It
will take the Volvo City Bus Con-
cept to a new level.
