Connected to your coach
When you take delivery of your new Volvo coach, you also get Volvo Connect. It’s a smartphone app where summarised weekly fleet reports are presented for all new coaches. You get a simple overview of fleet performance in your pocket.

Driver performance
Direct engine response, the unique Volvo Dynamic Steering and a new Driver Alert System make the Volvo 9700 the drivers’ favourite. And the new, attractively designed dashboard offers truly first-class ergonomics.

Safety zones
With your Volvo 9700 online you can define Safety Zones where you can limit the permitted speed. At terminals, when driving past schools or on dangerous motorway sections. When entering a zone the driver is alerted and the coach’s maximum speed is automatically limited.

Reduced fuel consumption
The highly efficient Volvo engine, the 12-speed I-Shift transmission and excellent aerodynamics save fuel from day one. In fact, the new body design and lighter structure save up to 4% compared to its predecessor. Add to that our fuel-saving services.
