A DIESEL ENGINE TO MEET TOMORROWS DEMANDS
The powerplant in diesel-driven version of the Volvo 7700 is the Volvo D9B. It is a newly
developed 9-litre engine that offers superb driveability and excellent fuel economy.
The Volvo D9B is available with 260, 310 and 360 hp and it
offers high torque across a wide rev range. Maximum torque
from the most powerful version is a generous 1600 Nm.
In practice this means instant response to the accelerator,
quick acceleration and excellent pulling power in high gear.
Or, quite simply, more comfortable, more efficient progress.
The Volvo D9B is matched by a choice of automatic trans-
missions and rear axles for best overall performance.
Built for Euro 4. And for Euro 5 (incentive)
The Volvo D9B is an environmentally optimised engine.
It has been developed from the ground up for extremely
low particulate emissions. In order to also reduce emissions
of nitrogen oxides, the Volvo 7700 is equipped with a sys-
tem for after-treatment of exhaust gases. It is known as SCR
(Selective Catalytic Reduction). In this system, a mixture of
ammonia and water known as AdBlue is injected into the
exhaust gases. As they pass through the catalytic converter,
a chemical reaction converts the nitrogen oxides into harmless
nitrogen gas and water vapour. The technology is both simple
and dependable and makes it possible to meet both current
and forthcoming emissions requirements. The Volvo 7700
is certified for Euro 4 and is also available in a version that
meets Euro 5 emission levels (incentive).
The Volvo D9B is an in-line 6-cylinder dieselengine with a displacement of 9.4 litres. Itfeatures a single cylinder head, overhead cam-shaft, 4 valves per cylinder and unit injectors.
In the exhaust after-treatment process, a mixture of ammoniaand water known as AdBlue is injected into the exhaustgases. As they pass through the catalytic converter, achemical reaction converts the nitrogen oxides into harm-less nitrogen gas and water vapour.
AdBlue is stored in a separate tanknormally mounted on the same sideas the fuel tank.
A new hydraulic fan system pro-vides extremely effective cooling.Its installation on the roof ensuresminimal dirt accumulation.

Highlights | Volvo D9B
Advanced casting techniques and a lightweight,compact timing mechanism result in low engineweight in relation to power output.
The D9B is a reliable engine with few and robustcomponents. For example, the cylinder block andcylinder head are made of cast iron. The crankshaftand camshaft are induction-hardened.
Four valves per cylinder mean fast gas flow andoptimum combustion.
The engine control unit precisely matches fuelquantity and injection timing to engine requirements.
Centrally positioned vertical unit injectors ensurethat injection takes place under high pressure andwith immense precision.
A newly developed rooof mounted cooling systemensures exceptionally effective engine cooling.
The new lubrication system sees to it that the oil isdistributed properly to all the lubrication points.
Solid aluminium pistons are effectively cooled by oilthat is sprayed in under the piston crowns.
The highly efficient turbo engine has a broad opera-tional range and contributes to the high torque.

IF YOU HAVE ACCESS TO NATURAL GAS OR BIOGAS
The new full low-floor gas-powered version of the Volvo 7700 is an excellent environmentally suitable alterna-
tive if you have access to natural gas or biogas. With the new generation of gas-powered engines, emissions
have been reduced still further from an already low level. What is more, driveability has improved considerably.
Lower emissions
The natural gas and biogas versions of the Volvo 7700 are
powered by the Volvo G9A engine. Based on Volvos latest
9-litre diesel, the Volvo G9A has been optimised in detail
for gas power. Unlike our previous gas-powered engines,
the Volvo G9A is a so-called Lambda 1 or stoechiometric
engine. This means that the blend of air and fuel is constantly
regulated to correspond to the engines requirements at any
given moment in time. This solution makes it possible to
treat the exhaust gases with a three-way catalytic converter,which means that emissions are lowered to levels that are way
below current and forthcoming legislated requirements. The
Volvo G9A has been developed to meet the EEV* emission
levels and to halve the particulate emissions of a Euro 4 diesel
engine. The nitrogen oxide content of the exhaust gases is just
one-tenth the limit specified according to Euro 4.
Same power output irrespective of fuel quality
The engine management system automatically modifies
combustion to suit fuel quality. As a result, the engines
performance is not affected by the quality of the gas.
Better driveability
The Volvo G9A is available with a choice of two power
outputs, 260 and 300 hp. Maximum torque in the more
powerful version is 1400 Nm, and this is available across
a very wide rev range. This means that the engine responds
instantly to the accelerator and offers you immense power
whenever you need it.
Certified installation
The gas-powered versions of the Volvo 7700 are certifiedaccording to the ECE 110 R European standard.
Natural-gas buses already back in 1992
Volvo Buses is one of Europes leading manufacturers of
buses for natural gas and biogas, and has delivered more
than 1000 vehicles since start of production in 1992.
* EEV stands for Environment Enhanced Vehicles and it is the EUs special emissionsclass for environmentally optimised vehicles.
