It offers higher efficiency and reliability compared to any other engine in its class. It is designed for more power, long service life, minimal maintenance and optimum operating cost. The D7E, with a wide torque range ensures exceptional drivability. BUILT STRONGER TO LAST LONGER. The new B7R now comes with a strong body frame and anti-corrosion treatment to withstand tough operational conditions and offer higher durability. Its unique true bus chassis design makes long distance travel much more comfortable. The all new driver controls environment makes it driver-friendly for stress-free, long journeys. The seating capacity and increased luggage space is the highest offered in the luxury bus segment in India. ADVANCED AND COST-EFFECTIVE TRANSPORT SOLUTIONS. The simple chassis design, light weight engine, fuel-efficiency, larger seating and baggage capacity at low running cost, improved safety standards and long-lasting durable body makes Volvo B7R the most profitable solution for both tourist and inter-city applications.

D7E 290 ENGINE

D7E 290 WITH COMMON RAIL DIRECT INJECTION is powered with 290 hp (1200 Nm) and conforms to EURO III standards. The D7E engine features Volvo EMS2 (Engine Management System), a wholly electronically controlled system which provides precise and efficient engine control. The engine control module is thoroughly protected - it sits on rubber mountings and is housed in aluminum casing. The engine control module takes in data from several sensors on the engine and the vehicle. The control unit compares current readings with stored parameters and adjusts fuel quantity and injection timing accordingly, throughout the engines operation. Volvo EMS is integrated with the bus's electronic system and permits advanced communication with the driver via the information display on the dash board. This helps in efficient engine management and advanced scope for diagnosis and fault tracing.

INCREASED PAYLOAD. The D7E is of a compact design, and weighs a 100kgs lesser than its predecessor, which helps in an increased payload.

PRECISE COMBUSTION THROUGH COMMON RAIL DIRECT INJECTION SYSTEM. The engine is equipped with a DCR type common rail injection pump, with a feeder pump and two unit pumps. The engine control unit registers the parameters and compares it with the data stored, before regulating fuel quantity and injection timing for precise combustion. Fuel injection through common rail at high pressure allows complete combustion resulting in fuelefficiency and low emission levels.

LOW EXHAUST EMISSIONS. The D7E has injectors with VCO (Valve Covered Orifice) nozzles, giving a highly precise injection sequence with a distinct conclusion to each cycle. The combustion chamber is designed with four valves per cylinder so that combustion can be efficient. It more than meets the demand for high performance in conjunction with low exhaust and noise emissions.

HIGH PERFORMANCE GEARBOX. Volvo B7R has a manual gearbox, the ZF 6S1380BD, with 6 forward and 1 reverse speeds, which are fully synchronized - ensuring easy operations. The gear box is lighter due to aluminum housing and select rail.

ROOF TOP AIR INTAKE. To avoid the suction of road dust and water into the air filter, and to get optimum heating and cooling performance, the position of the air intake is changed to the roof top. This also helps in keeping the engine cleaner and reducing operating costs.

STRESS-FREE WORK AMBIENCE

The driver's seat is ergonomically designed with seat belts fitted for the driver and the co-driver. The driver seat can be adjusted for the perfect driving position. The angle and the height of the steering wheel can be adjusted to the convenience of the driver. The driver has a good an all round vision through the large wind screen, large rear view mirrors and a close quarter mirror on the passenger side. The compact integrated head lamps provide a concentrated long-range beam of light. The instrument console has a simple and logical design with convenient and easy to use controls. The instrument panel offers a good overview and is designed to ensure that the driver obtains the right information in every situation. Driver information is provided via a clear display on the instrument panel. It displays operational data and also provides diagnostics information of the vehicle. FLOOR BASED LUGGAGE SPACE. Over 10 cum. of floor level luggage space with easy access to load and unload baggage has been provided for storage space in the Volvo B7R.

EBS MEDIUM DISC BRAKE SYSTEM

EBS medium is an electronically operated type anti-lock disc brake system and is integrated to the vehicles electronic system. The regulations of the brakes are performed electronically. The system improves road safety with 10-15% shorter stopping distances. The brakes are designed for allowing the brake disc to be in full contact with the brake linings regardless of the temperature. This gives greater operating reliability and longer service life for the brake discs and pads. The brake disc is mounted on the hub via a patented spline-like joint allowing the disc to expand symmetrically. The EBS offers the following: Brake blending - the wheel brakes and the auxiliary brakes collaborate reducing wear level in the brake lining Temperature warning - the EBS system senses the temperature of the wheel brakes. If the temperature gets too high, warning signals are sent to the driver. This reduces the fatigue of the wheel brakes and increases driving safety Drag torque control - While driving on slippery roads, the EBS activates the engine control when the wheels loose grip Hill start aid - the wheel brakes release at a certain engine torque or when the clutch is released to avoid roll back Wear indication - The driver gets an indication of the performance of the brakes when the performance is too low Panic brake assistance - To shorten the distance when a panic situation arises and the brakes are used forcefully Modulators - are magnetic control valves with built-in electronics that act like a relay valve and controls the supply of air to the brake cylinders ABS anti-lock braking system - Prevents the wheels from locking and helps maintain control when brakes are used with force TCS anti-spin (Traction Control System) - The TCS acts as a differential brake when there is uneven distribution of traction between the wheels

HYDRAULIC RETARDER. The hydraulic retarder provides a good complement to normal braking which considerably reduces wear on the brake lining. The voith hydraulic retarder mounted on the gearbox output is a standard fitment.

SMALL TURNING CIRCLE. Volvo B7R has an integral hydraulic power assisted steering system. Steering area is of circulating ball-and-nut type with a reduction ratio of 20.1:1. The maximum deflection of the inner front wheel is 53 deg. With a 6.2m wheelbase, the B7R has a turning radius of 10.25 mtrs

AIR-SUSPENSION SYSTEM. Volvo B7R is fitted with an air suspension with two air bellows in the front and four airbellows in the rear. The system efficiently irons out irregularities of the road and offers a high degree of ride comfort.

TYRES. Tubeless radial tyres fitted on B7R ensure higher mileage, good roadgrip, wet-rolling resistance, better braking, stable driving and a longer tyre life

FUEL TANK. The fuel tank has a capacity of 600ltrs - (300 x1+150 x 2). They are made of plastic with filling option on both sides

ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS. The Volvo B7R has two alternators with 200 A power capacity to meet the high loads of electricity required for bus operations
