The Volvo B11R is a 10.8-litre engined coach chassis available as both two- and tri-axle from Volvo since 2011. It was introduced as the second of the Volvo BXXR series, replacing the rest of the B12B range in 2011, and later its fellow BXXR platform model, the B13R[1] in 2013.
The B11R is the standard chassis for both the 9700 and 9900 coaches, except the North American 9700 which still use the B13R. It is also available in the Indian market and is sold by Volvo under the 9400 brand with a length of 14.5 metres and has bodywork similar in design to pre-2018 European Volvo 9700/9900.
A version for double-decker coaches, known as B11RLE, is also produced. It was first introduced in June 2018 with Plaxton Panorama bodywork for UK and Irish markets,[2] and was later expanded to mainland Europe in February 2020 with launch of Volvo 9700DD, a double-decker version of Volvo 9700.[3]
As at October 2014, over 150 had been sold in the United Kingdom and Ireland.[4] Polish operator PolskiBus purchased 20 with Plaxton Elite i bodies,[5][6] while New Zealand operator ManaBus has purchased a fleet of Kiwi Bus Builders bodied B11Rs.[7]
In the Philippines, B11R is being introduced by Autodelta Coach Builders, Inc., which is the sole distributor of Volvo Buses in the country. They offer 370 HP and 450 HP variants, both of them are Euro V compliant. Victory Liner, CUL Transport, and Silver Star Shuttle and Tours are the companies currently operating Volvo B11Rs for provincial routes.
In Indonesia, Volvo B11R comes in 2 engine variants, 370 bhp and 430 bhp fulfilling Euro III emission standards. PT. Steady Safe Tbk operates more than 100 Laksana Cityline 2 bodied 370 bhp variant B11Rs for TransJakarta using ZF EcoLife transmission. A number of private bus companies uses the 430 bhp variant with I-Shift transmission as intercity and charter buses.
