The Volvo 9700 Double Decker is a premium experience for everyone: drivers, passengers and owners. It’s an extremely flexible double decker that offers impressive capacity and possibilities for different kinds of operations. It comes with a powerful new and highly fuel-efficient engine and a new driver’s environment. And legendary comfort and safety for your passengers. It’s ready, for whatever comes ahead.
The new 13-litre engine and driveline feature several fuel-saving technologies, helping to reduce fuel consumption by up to 9% compared with the previous engine. A new engine compartment layout with a unique cooling system operated by electrical fans and lower revs at cruising speed are two examples. The engine is available in three power levels, from 420 to 500 hp. For improved environmental performance, all of them can run on HVO, and the 460 and 500 hp versions also on biofuel.
Legendary comfort and safety are a Volvo hallmark. And the Volvo 9700 double decker is no exception. The new 13-litre engine and driveline improve driving and ride comfort still further. Less vibration and less noise make every mile a relaxed experience for both driver and passengers.
Driving the Volvo 9700 DD is a sensational experience. Perfectly seated with a new steering wheel and a new dynamic instrument cluster, you get that special feeling of control. With the new 500 hp engine and updated I-Shift transmission with even faster gear shifting, you have instant power access already from low revs. Smooth power, smooth gear changes and precise steering for comfortable and safe driving.
Your passengers have high expectations regarding comfort and safety, and the Volvo 9700 DD will meet their requirements. No matter if they are commuting to work or enjoying a weekend charter, they will travel in Volvo safety. Seated in renowned ergonomic and comfortable Volvo seats, and with plenty of space for their belongings.
In every Volvo, safety is built-in from the start. The Volvo 9700 DD is equipped with advanced safety systems that help the driver prevent accidents. And of course, all passenger seats can be equipped with 3-point seat belts. For younger passengers there are ISOFIX fittings for child seats and booster cushions, and we can also offer integrated rearward-facing child seats.
A warning system that notifies the driver if the coach is about to unintentionally cross a lane marker.
Safety starts with the driver. Driver Alert System senses if you are distracted or drowsy and signals that it’s time for a break.
In the Volvo 9700 DD, the driver is seated on an elevated platform further away from the front of the bus. A position that improves visibility and driver safety.
