Newer Volvo hybrids (Euro 6) drive much better than the E5 ones and don't vibrate as much.<br />The trouble I have is that I want more variety in our buses, so I want to like things like the Volvo 7900 and the Irizar i3 before I've even been on one, just because they're new and different.<br />I have far less experience than you when it comes to buses (don't really remember much before 2008), so it's very interesting hearing someone who travelled in the days of Olympians commenting on modern products.Lewis J.N.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05319950271876907566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2425346921966365551.post-48525258628477987092018-01-23T23:44:57.086+00:002018-01-23T23:44:57.086+00:00Blimey Lewis where do I start!

The electric engine is a gimmick, and by time the diesel engine comes in you've lost most of the momentum anyway. It rattles like a bitch, the engine vibrates and the suspension is poor. Does look good from the outside though!Steve Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06852377706742868978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2425346921966365551.post-38494093732623644162018-01-23T23:20:16.730+00:002018-01-23T23:20:16.730+00:00A fantastic write-up of a day I'm sad I missed...A fantastic write-up of a day I'm sad I missed.<br />What are your issues with the Volvo 7900?Lewis J.N.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05319950271876907566noreply@blogger.com
