Volvo Buses has received an order for 145 bus chassis for Jamaica. The buses will be used as part of the Jamaican government’s initiative to improve the urban transport system in Kingston.

Volvo Buses reports an increase in deliveries during the third quarter. 2,351 buses were delivered, which was an increase of 11% compared with the same quarter in the preceding year. The operating income was however negative.

Volvo Buses is now launching a 13-liter engine for the Volvo 9700 and Volvo 9900 models. The new engine is stronger but also more fuel-efficient than its predecessor.
