Volvo 8700

The Volvo 8700 is a single-decker city and single-decker intercity bus from Volvo manufactured between 2002 and 2011.

As a successor to the Carrus Vega, which was also built and sold as Volvo B10-400 and Volvo 7250 in Germany and Poland, the main difference was that it was built on the Volvo TX platform.

The exterior was just as a simple facelift from the old model.

The medium floor 8700 was available on B7R, B12B and B12M chassis, with all except the B7R available as a tri-axle bus.

In Norway a total of 1300 buses were delivered, with the 8700 and 8700LE having an almost equal share.
