Powerful and environmentally optimized

The Volvo 9700 gets its power comes from our new electronically controlled, horizontally installed 12-litre engine. It combines high torque and excellent driveability with good fuel economy and low emissions.

Excellent driveability

Driving the Volvo 9700 is a true pleasure. The high-torque engine combined with our latest easy-change gearbox ensures excellent driveability. The braking system includes features such as Volvo’s patented electronically controlled disc brakes, ABS, ASR, the Volvo Engine Brake and Volvo Compact Retarder. The rigid frame and the electronically controlled air suspension make for good stability, and you can specify the Volvo 9700 with an independent front suspension for enhanced comfort.
