Volvo India's MD, Mr Akash Passey, with the new CNG model 8400.
Volvo Buses India Private Limited (Volvo India) has strengthened its presence in India by the introduction of an environmentally friendly CNG variant for the Indian market — a natural gas bus built in India for India by a team of experts from Sweden and India. Production of the CNG model 8400 City Bus will take place at Volvo India’s manufacturing plant in Bangalore.
“With the Volvo CNG City Bus, we are now ready for an even larger share of the city bus segment. With over 50% share in the diesel AC segment, we look forward to the CNG segment with earnestness. We are now ready to establish new standards in this segment in consonance with our core values of quality, safety and care for the environment,” said Akash Passey, MD, Volvo India in a company press release.
The CNG variant also houses the new transmission from Volvo – Ecolife, which aims to offer the driver and passengers a superior drive experience. It has been equipped with intelligent systems to recognise when a vehicle is moving into idle or into gear thereby reducing fuel consumption again.
The bus is equipped with automatic cut off to the ignition system when refilling, and high standards of fire protection in the connectors, wiring harnesses and the vehicle multiplex.
