Bus & Coach
Galway-based GoBus.ie has taken delivery of 10 integral Volvo B11R 9700 coaches, with the latest delivery bringing the number ordered to more than 50 in the last eight years.

The latest arrivals are all 13m long, with 53/55 seats, alloy wheels and CCTV.

“We have found that the Volvo B11R 9700 not only meets, but exceeds our expectations due to the driving experience, passenger appeal and build quality that gives us excellent operational performance year after year,” explains Jim Burke, managing director of GoBus.ie.

The vehicles are equipped with invertors and sockets to all seats, WiFi, destination sign equipment, dark tinted, the I-Start ancillary battery starting system, and three-point seat belts.

Volvo’s driver support system (DSS) is fitted as standard and this includes AEBS, LKS (lane keeping support) and ACC (adaptive cruise control). Volvo also offers ACC on other B11R body types when specified with the I-Shift gearbox.
