The Volvo 7700 is designed and built in every detail to meet the very highest quality requirements. From the driveline components to the stainless steel body, which provides superior corrosion resistance, low maintenance costs and a very long service life.
First-class driver’s
environment
The driver’s environment is ergonomically designed and
can be adapted to suit individual needs. All so as to create an attractive
working environment. In order to adapt the driving position to individual
requirements, the steering wheel can be adjusted for both height and angle via a
simple control.
Quick passenger through-flow
The broad centre aisle, the
low, flat floor and the wide door openings create the necessary preconditions
for efficient passenger through-flow and short halts at bus stops. Floor height
is just 320 mm at the front door openings, 340 mm (320 optional) at the middle
door and 340 mm at the rear door openings. With kneeling activated, entry height
at the front door can be dropped another 90 mm.
The Volvo 7700 is also available in a variant where the entire side can kneel to the same low level. The floor is smooth all the way through, without steps at any of the doors. Generous standing room and the possibility of fitting three double doors contributes to fast passenger movement.
The Volvo 7700 is extremely flexible and is also available as an articulated bus (18m). It can also be operated using natural gas or biogas.
Complies with 2001/85EC
The Volvo 7700 is designed to
meet the European Bus & Coach Directive for class 1 vehicles. The body
structure and exterior side panels are made of stainless steel, providing
superior protection against corrosion, low maintenance costs, a long service
life and residual value.
Modern electronics
The on-board electronics continuously
register and store data from the engine, transmission, brakes and other
components. This means that the driver is alerted if a fault arises, at the same
time as the bus’s vital components are protected from damage. (kilde: Volvo Bus)
