The Volvo 8900 is a single-decker city bus and intercity bus, first introduced in 2010 as a cross-breed successor to both the aluminium body 8500 and the stainless steel body 8700, taking advantage of both techniques.

In the summer of 2013 the first B8R and B8RLE started to appear in low numbers, and from 2014 with Euro VI requirements, no 7s or 9s are offered anymore.

However, Volvo decided to close down the plant in Säffle by the summer of 2013, and all production of the model is now done in Poland.

Equipped with a modular battery system giving the bus a battery capacity of 540 kWh, the 8900 Electric is available as both a two or three-axle bus and can be optioned with either one or two electric motors, with a maximum carrying capacity of 110 passengers.

Major customers of the 8900LE's are Savonlinja, Pohjolan Liikenne, Nobina Finland, Reissu Ruoti, Länsilinjat, TKL and few others.
