Extensive options

The Volvo 9500 is 12.3 meters long and holds between 49 and 55 passengers, depending on the specification. To keep the price down, the design of the coach is basic but can be tailored to the customer’s needs by selecting from a range of available options.

“A range of comfort options can be added to the basic design of the Volvo 9500, such as an audio-visual system, toilet and coffee-making facilities. Customers can choose from a range of specification packages and create a coach that best suits their needs,” says Mike Ball.

Safety features are always standard. Volvo Buses are among other things equipped with Front Impact Protection (FIP) where a reinforced front protects the driver and the guide, a Front Underrun Protection System (FUPS), and a system that minimizes the risk for injuries to the driver’s knees in the event of a collision.

The design of Volvo 9500 is very similar the Volvo 9700 or Volvo 9900. The most obvious difference is the headlamps, but the coach is clearly a Volvo.
