9900 Model in Volvo buses
The new Volvo 9900 is the most exclusive that Volvo Buses can offer. With a theater floor, a sloping window line, large window sections and an elegant interior, passengers are offered coach travel that exceeds what is commonplace.
Coach tourists today set exacting requirements for the vehicle on which they travel. It must be pleasing to the eye, comfortable, offer an excellent view, provide ample luggage space and have a top class audio-visual system Volvo Buses had these passenger demands in mind when they created the new Volvo 9900.
Volvo Buses is taking the step of replacing the previous 12-liter engine with the new 13-liter engine, the Volvo D13C, in the Volvo 9700 and Volvo 9900 coaches and for the chassis Volvo B13R.
Volvo Buses’ new engine is a straight six-cylinder diesel engine with turbo and intercooler. It has a one-piece cylinder head, overhead camshaft, four valves per cylinder and electronically controlled unit injectors.
The engine will be offered in 420hp and 460hp versions, and has more torque than its predecessor. The 420hp engine has 2100 Nm at 1100-1400 revs/min, while the 460hp engine has 2300 Nm at 1050-1400 revs/min.
The company said that despite the higher displacement, engineers have reduced the engine's weight by about 80 kilograms compared with the 12-liter engine. The combination of lower weight and higher torque provides the opportunity for a higher average speed.
The new engine combined with an adapted gear shifting strategy in the I-shift gearbox means that the bus can be driven at a lower number of revs, which reduces fuel consumption.
The Volvo Bus company , said: "Low fuel consumption is one of the absolute key factors for our customers. It was the main reason why we chose the SCR technology to meet the Euro IV requirements. As we shift to the new, modern 13-liter engine, we have succeeded in reducing fuel consumption even more. Our field tests indicate a further reduction of up to 5%
The driver also has the satisfaction of the Volvo 9900 being equipped with Volvo I-shift, the highly regarded automatic transmission system, which provides exceptional drivability due particularly to the number of gearshifts being minimized and enabling a high, uniform average speed to be maintained.
The engines and I-shift also contribute to favorable environmental characteristics and overall cost-efficiency. Volvo has elected to utilize SCR technology to meet present and future emission requirements. From today the 420-hp engine is available in an incentive version that complies with Euro 5. SCR is a simple, proven and reliable technology that contributes to lower fuel consumption. The Volvo I-shift has the comfort and smoothness associated with automatic transmission while still retaining the lower fuel consumption of manual shift.
The Volvo 9900 is 3.8 meters high and 2.55 meters wide. The range includes a 2 axle version 12.3 m long as well as 3 axle variants at 13.0, or 13.8 m.
