of complete control. The ergonomically designed drivers
environment is spacious and extremely comfortable, with an
adjustable steering wheel and excellent insulation against
noise. The elegant instrument panel boasts easy-to-read,centrally positioned controls and a large clear driver

Bi-xenon headlampsBi-xenon headlamps provide a powerful beam of light and
offer excellent nighttime visibility, and also have a far longer
lifespan than conventional lamps. The large new taillights are
positioned high up in the body so they can be seen clearly.
S TCWith all its service points grouped together logically,
the Volvo 9700 is easy to maintain. Highly integrated
componentslike the D13 engine and I-Shiftsimplify
service scheduling and make for convenient one-stop
shopping when vehicles require maintenance.
The vehicles main structure is 3CR12 stainless steel,
providing exceptional corrosion resistance, and its smooth
body panels make routine cleaning a breeze. The three-section
rear bumper design allows replacement of only those portions
that are in need of repair should they become damaged.
Additional features that help Volvo 9700 operators keep
maintenance costs under control include:
Unitized wheel bearings for improved efficiency
A spline disc system
Maintenance-free tie rods
T S The Volvo 9700 is always an effective highway cruiser, taking
the miles in stride and covering long distances economically.
But its on the uphill gradients that it really shows its strength.
The high-torque engine combined with our automatic Volvo
I-Shift transmission system results in exceptional driveability,
which in turn means that you always have access to all the
power you need. The number of gear changes is minimized,
and you can maintain a high and steady average speed.
Good weight distribution and a stiff frame with electronically
controlled air suspension result in particularly good stability
and comfort. The Volvo 9700 also excels in congested city
streets. Effective power steering and a small turning radius
give the bus superb maneuverability.

ready fortomorrows
demandsThe Volvo 9700 has been developed to provide
trouble-free and profitable service for many years.
That is why it is tailored today to meet tomorrowsdemands. Fuel is hardly going to get any cheaper,
so we have made sure every single drop of diesel is
used as efficiently as possible. We also know that
emissions legislation is going to get tougher, so we
have chosen a clean technology that meets not only
todays requirements but tomorrows, too. In addition,
increasing numbers of customers will want to exploit
their buses even more efficiently than they do today,
which is why every single part of the Volvo 9700 is
designed and engineered for maximum uptime.
Volvo D13 ngineThe Volvo 9700 comes with the Volvo D13 engine from Volvo
Powertrain, one of the worlds largest producers of heavy-
duty diesel engines. The Volvo D13 is a powerful, lightweight
engine. Its based on Volvos new family of engines that meet
current and future regulations while at the same time improvereliability and minimize operational cost. The D13 features
improved fuel economy, extended oil change intervals and
an updated engine brake thats up to 20% more powerful.
The engine provides impressive performance with excellent
low-end torque for improved driveability. The Volvo D13 is
completely assembled in the United States.
nvironmentally optimizedThe Volvo 9700 not only offers low fuel consumption, it also
has particularly low emissions. Volvo has devoted substantial
resources and attention to reducing diesel engine emissions
benefitting operators and customersand our environment.
Volvos D13 engine with advanced Selective Catalytic
Reduction (SCR) is not only more fuel efficient than previous
models, it reduces diesel emissions and improves air qualityin accordance with EPA 10 regulations.
all the advantages of vertical installationThanks to our innovative vertical installation and rooftop
diffuser mount, the SCR and Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF)
system offers a range of performance and maintenance
benefits. Positioning this system vertically towards the top
of the engine compartment has the advantage of generating
less heat. This reduces the need for special heat precautions
and provides greater safety for mechanics during engine

maintenance. The roomier compartment makes it
easier to reach and service the SCR and DPF system,
with easier access to major components such as fans
and radiators. Designed to maximize cooling, this
vertical configuration poses no heat risk to engine
components, and requires no special protection orskid plates to guard against stones, dirt, water and
other road hazards. DPF and SCR components
and sensors are well protected from damage, which
improves their longevity.
Compared with a traditional exhaust pipe, the
diffuser quickly dissipates heat so that exhaust gas
temperatures drop by 50% within six inches of the
diffuser. The roof flush mount prevents water infiltration
and improves the appearance of the coach.

The Volvo 9700 is equipped with I-Shift, our
intelligent transmission system that combines the
robustness and dependability of a manual gearbox
with the comfort and convenience of an automatic
transmission. Its latest generation is lighter, more
compact and quieter than ever. With its precision
gearshifts and very minimal internal losses, Volvo
I-Shift ensures substantially improved performance
and fuel economy.

the safest coach weve ever built
ess risk with good visibilityWith first-class ride and handling, an ergonomically
designed drivers environment and excellent all-around
visibility, the Volvo 9700 offers good accident-preventive
safety from the ground up. It has large rear-view mirrors
with integrated close-quarter mirrors. Powerful headlights
with bi-xenon lamps and large, high-set brake lamps further
reduce the risk of accidents.
CTRC BRKG SST (BS) DCTRC STBT RGR (S)The Volvo 9700 features Volvo disc brakes with EBS, which
offers excellent braking performance and rapid, gentle
and controlled braking. In addition, there are other safety-
enhancing and comfort-boosting solutions, such as Hill
Start Aid, which stops the bus from rolling backwards when
starting on a hill. Supplementing the wheel brakes is Volvos
Bus travel is one of the safest forms of transportation available. With every new bus generation that we develop, we raise the
safety bar even higher. The Volvo 9700 is the culmination of more than 80 years of safety-oriented design and manufacturing
success. What makes it such a standout? The seamless way in which so many Volvo features have been designed to work
with one anothera true technical advance. For example, the Electronic Brake System (EBS), Electronic Control Suspension
(ECS) and Electronic Stability Program (ESP) are all fully integrated, resulting in maximum on-road efficiency, a smoother,
more comfortable ride for all on board, and greatly improved vehicle handling in all conditions.

powerful engine brake, VEB (Volvo Engine Brake). With the
help of the Brake Blending function, the auxiliary brakes
perform as large a part of the braking work as possible
before the wheel brakes are activated. The Volvo 9700
comes standard with ESP. ESP significantly reduces the risk
of the bus rolling over or driving off the road both in normal
road conditions and when the surface is slippery.
Unique Volvo protection for driverIn order to improve safety for the driver, Volvo has
introduced Front Impact Protection (FIP) and Knee Impact
Protectionthe first manufacturer to do so. The former
is a frontal collision protection system that absorbs and
diverts impact forces in the event of a frontal collision. Knee
Impact Protection reduces the risk of injury to the drivers
knees and legs in a frontal collision. It consists of energy-
absorbing panels positioned at knee height behind the
instrument panel. In an impact where the drivers knees strike
the instrument panel, the kinetic energy is absorbed by theimpact panels, which crumple gently and in a controlled
manner to minimize injury.
Volvo first with FRT UDRRU RTCT SST(FUS) in coachesIn a frontal collision between a bus and a passenger car,
it is the occupants of the car who suffer the greatest risk
of injury. In order to improve their safety, the Volvo 9700
is equipped with FUPS. The underrun protection system
consists of a steel beam fitted behind the bumper that
prevents the car from becoming wedged under the bus. In
a collision, it absorbs the cars impact and allows itself to
deform to lessen the force of the impact. Volvo is the first
vehicle manufacturer to fit this type of underrun protection
system to buses.
Safety-tested bodiesIf an accident should occur, our aim is to reduce the
consequences as much as possible. The interior is soft and
free from protruding parts or sharp edges.
SEAT Belt Safety
The Volvo 9700 features comfortable North American
styled seating, and three-point seatbelts are standard
equipment. The drivers seat is also equipped with a three-
point seat belt for optimal safety during operation.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM
Improper tire temperature or pressure are among the main
contributors to tire failure. The Volvo Tire Pressure Monitoring
System samples temperature and pressure and helps detect
inner drive tire failures that are often overlooked in general
inspections. Providing real-time tire pressure readings, drivers
can easily monitor tires for optimal pressures, which can
contribute to improved fuel economy.
ENGINE FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM
Monitoring the engine compartment, the Engine Fire
Suppression System is the most complete system on the
market today. It uses linear thermal detection and an optical
infrared to improve passenger safety by protecting the engine
compartment and auxiliary heater. The system provides audible
and visual warnings to the driver in case of an incident.
