Fuel efficiency and transport capacity

The 350 hp, highly efficient engine cuts fuel consumption, while the weight-saving chassis design increases the passenger capacity. These factors are related so both cost and emissions per passenger kilometre is reduced. With up to 100 passengers and power in abundance, this is your trusty workhorse.

For your toughest assignments

The Volvo B8L – MCV Evoseti is a double-decker bus with up to 98 seats, which makes it a high-capacity asset in your fleet. It comes in two different lengths, 12.0 m or 12.8 m, and is designed for long days on busy routes and to maximise your productivity. 350 hp and solid low-rev torque make for effortless hill climb and take-off properties. 

It's pure Volvo performance

Increased power, lower weight, more torque, tighter turning circle and enhanced departure angle are just a few of the performance improvements. It features an efficient driveline layout, without angle drive, which notably reduces fuel consumption and interior noise.

The fuel-efficient power plant

The Euro 6 Volvo D8K is a mere miracle, delivering 40 hp more than its predecessor, yet with a substantially lower fuel consumption. The Volvo B8L – MCV Evoseti features an all-new engine installation that reduces heat dissipation into the cabin – and the interior noise. With the Volvo D8K, you will have one of the cleanest, most powerful and efficient engines in its class. And with our services offering you can save up to an additional 10% of your fuel costs. That's efficiency the Volvo way.

A light-weight champion 

The Volvo B8L is the result of a no-compromise engineering philosophy. A more weight-efficient engine, higher torque and up to 600 kg less in chassis weight, compared to its predecessor.

Superior driver comfort

Handling and drivability

The Volvo B8L – MCV Evoseti is simply great to drive with outstanding take-off and hill-climbing performance. The well-balanced chassis comes with features like Electronic Braking System (EBS), integrated Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Brake Blending, Hill Start Aid, Brake Assist and Electronic Stability Program (ESP). 

A perfect workplace

The driver’s environment in the Volvo B8L – MCV Evoseti is probably one of the best available, with world-class ergonomics and excellent visibility. The adjustable dashboard features easy-to-read instruments and controls located logically, helping the driver stay focused and alert.

Attractive public transport and sustainability

Public transport is in itself a step towards sustainability. Every passenger who leaves the car at home and instead commutes by bus, contributes to a better environment. The Volvo B8L – MCV Evoseti adds to that with a highly efficient driveline, which reduces emission. In addition, the Volvo D8K engine has ZEMO low emission accreditation and is certified for biofuel and HVO, thus further reducing climate impact. 

A quieter interior

The Volvo B8L – MCV Evoseti features an all-new engine installation that reduces the interior sound level. And the efficient isolation also keeps an even interior climate in the passenger cabin. Both important factors for passenger comfort.

A better school bus

The Volvo B8L – MCV Evoseti adds a new level of productivity to school services. With up to 98 seats, there’s room for three full classes, safely seated and buckled up. With tight schedules and frequent stops, the capabilities of the Volvo B8L – MCV Evoseti makes it a time saver.
