Uptime and reliability

All Volvo B8R models have a well-earned, reputation of outstanding reliability all over the world. B8RLE – MCV Evora is no exception. It relies on a highly efficient and easily maintained powertrain in combination with long service intervals, and Volvo’s top-ranked aftermarket network.

Right-sizing for superior fuel economy

The powerful 8-litre engine retains Volvo’s world-class fuel-efficiency position. It’s perfectly dimensioned to run with optimal fuel efficiency also in demanding operation. In addition, we offer a range of services that reduce fuel consumption even further. 

Superior driver comfort

Handling and drivability

The driver’s environment is one of the best available, with world-class ergonomics. The handling and stability is a result of a meticulously balanced chassis design. It provides a safe and predictable behaviour in perfect harmony with the driveline’s elasticity and power resources.

A perfect workplace

The driver’s environment in the Volvo B8RLE – MCV Evora is probably one of the best available, with world-class ergonomics and superior visibility. The adjustable dashboard features easy-to-read instruments and controls located logically, helping the driver stay focused and alert.

Dynamic instrument cluster

The digital instrument cluster shows what the driver needs to know. No less – no more. Redundant information is minimised to reduce driver distraction so that the driver can focus on the traffic and drive more safely. The different display views give possibilities to adapt to the requirements of the actual route.

First-class passenger comfort and convenience

For us at Volvo, it is a part of our mission to make public transport attractive and comfortable. Passenger satisfaction is an important design parameter and includes road handling and structural design but also more visible features such as seats, lighting and climate system.

Passengers waiting at a bus stop

Superior ride comfort

The quality and stability of the B8R chassis is also a true passenger benefit. Balanced and electronically controlled air suspension absorbs irregularities in the tarmac and contributes to a steady progress.

Smooth and efficient boarding  

Ease of boarding and disembarking are important factors when it comes to punctuality and convenience for passengers. In combination with kneeling functionality and an efficient floor layout it makes the B8RLE – MCV Evora a time saver at bus stops.

Local presence. Global strength.

Assistance and spare parts are never far away for a Volvo owner. We share service network and spare parts logistics with Volvo Trucks and Volvo Construction Equipment. We have all the latest technical information and the necessary tools and software. All our technicians get regular training to ensure that your vehicles get the best possible care.


Our service network

Service contracts

With our service contracts, the risk of unplanned stops, or even breakdowns, is significantly reduced.  And for each of your vehicles, we design an individual maintenance plan. Because we know, and you know, that city buses with long service days need a different type of attention compared to, for instance, low-mileage intercity short-haulers. 


Service contracts

Support for your own workshop

If you are an operator running your own workshop, Volvo Connect has a range of services to make your daily work run smoother. Instant access to detailed and updated vehicle information will make the workshop visit shorter. And finding spare parts online makes planning and stock-keeping a lot easier.
