The Volvo B7R is primarily intended for tourist and long-distance duties, but is also suitable for use as an inter-city bus. A robust, simple design and a light chassis are some of the characteristics that have made it popular throughout the world.

The properties have been retained but have now been supplemented by an updated engine and a completely new electronic system. These new features further contribute to a strength for which the Volvo B7R has always been
renowned - good overall transport economy.
