As owner or driver of a premium coach you have taken on a commitment to bring your passengers safely and comfortably to their destination. On-road performance and fuel efficiency are two vital dimensions of your operation’s productivity.
Volvo’s 13-litre engine is one of the most trusted power sources in the world of heavy-duty vehicles. It is now part of our coach range in its Euro 6 version, with a set of outstanding capabilities: a new level of fuel efficiency, solid power and torque resources and extended service intervals. In addition, it is certified for HVO and Biodiesel in any mix, which further contributes to reduced emissions.
The Volvo 13-litre engine features a new unique cooling system which contributes to the reduced fuel consumption. There are dual radiators on opposite sides of the engine installation, served by energy efficient electrical fans. This allows us to control and regulate a low and uniform temperature in the engine compartment in all climates. From Arctic cold to Mediterranean heat.
The outstanding fuel efficiency of the Volvo 9700 comes from two sources: a highly efficient basic engine concept in combination with multiple refinements. Add to that Volvo’s Dynamic Chassis Lowering, I-See and I-Coaching, all giving lasting reductions in fuel consumption.
A powerful engine does not necessarily use more fuel. In fact, it can be the other way around. An engine with sufficient power reserves can run at optimally fuel-efficient revs for a larger share of the operating time. Simply getting more power from every drop of fuel. In addition, several fuel-saving Volvo technologies help the driver to maintain the average speed without increased consumption. The savings can be monitored in detail in Volvo Connect.
A valuable feature which can cut fuel consumption by up to 2.5%. It’s an intelligent cruise control which adapts to the topography and proactively optimises acceleration, gearshifts and braking when driving with cruise control.
Fuel efficiency is dependent on keeping the engine at the most economical revs for each situation. The Volvo 9700 provides massive power at low engine revs when cruising, and thus stays within the economical range.
The Volvo 9700 comes with the new G-version of Volvo’s legendary I-Shift transmission. Faster gear changes, low internal friction and software optimised for tour and charter as well as line-haul operation contribute to the fuel savings.
Fuel consumption and emissions follow each other linearly, so if we can save fuel, we also reduce emissions. Furthermore, we can use alternative fuels to reduce the carbon footprint. And regardless of fuel, Volvo’s Euro 6 technology ensures that emissions are kept below the set limits.
The quickest way to reduce emissions from a vehicle is to use less fuel. The Volvo 9700 offers fuel savings of up to 9% in combination with exhaust aftertreatment that reduces local pollutants below Euro 6 requirements.
The Volvo D13K engine is HVO and Biodiesel certified to further reduce CO2 impact by up to 85% with HVO and 45% with Biodiesel.
With Volvo Connect you can follow up many of your vehicle’s performance parameters. The environmental report gives a complete view of your vehicle’s emissions.
