Volvo BZL Electric Bus and New 9700 Coach Expected at Euro Bus Expo
The new model Volvo 9700 coach will be on display at this year's Euro Bus Expo, alongside a battery-electric Volvo BZL single-decker bus as part of a celebration of dealership Volvo Bus UK and Ireland’s 50th anniversary.

The two-axle Volvo 9700, bound for Halpenny Travel of Blackrock, Co Louth, will be powered by the 13-litre D13K engine, producing no less than 500bhp, it is paired to the I-Shift automated manual transmission.
Volvo says that the engine and driveline used in the 9700 have “several fuel-saving technologies” to reduce consumption by “up to 9%,” in addition to the aerodynamic qualities of a coach that “radiates attitude, elegance and safety.”
Meanwhile, the BZL battery-electric is a demonstrator vehicle with Volvo’s own driveline. The manufacturer says that the BZL range – which also includes a double-decker – comes with “flexible charging options to ensure seamless operation” and that through a partnership approach, it can work with customers on the transition to zero-emission.
